If you believe that Donald Trump & Co represent the working class, congratulations! They’ve successfully pulled the wool over your eyes! Trump’s tax cuts benefitted the rich and his tariffs (and Biden’s) hurt American consumers, not China!
The author is right about one thing—“fear”. The xenophobic fearmongering about illegal immigrants is outlandish, considering Biden has been deporting them on par with Trump (not to mention the ones being detained at GTMO)!
Another thing, for as long as I’ve been able to vote, neither party has represented the working class! Read about the Powell Memorandum!
Welcome to the Working Class: Elon Musk, Steven Schwartzman, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Miriam Adelson, Harold Hamm, Bill Ackman, John Paulson, Steve Wynn, Ike Perlmutter, Joe Ricketts, Woody Johnson, Dianne Hendricks! https://t.co/PzFfbpQtie
For some reason, these quotes made me think of Milei, at the World Economic Forum. On another note, I still have to read “The Che Reader”. I found his quote through Wikipedia. As for “The State and Revolution”, I’m 60% finished.
Ever since monopoly capital took over the world, it has kept the greater part of humanity in poverty, dividing all the profits among the group of the most powerful countries. The standard of living in those countries is based on the extreme poverty of our countries. To raise the living standards of the underdeveloped nations, therefore, we must fight against imperialism. And each time a country is torn away from the imperialist tree, it is not only a partial battle won against the main enemy but it also contributes to the real weakening of that enemy, and is one more step toward the final victory. There are no borders in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, because a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory, just as any country’s defeat is a defeat for all of us. The practice of proletarian internationalism is not only a duty for the peoples struggling for a better future, it is also an inescapable necessity.
