US billionaires & the mass media they control have thrown in their lot with fascism in supporting the second Trump administration. Trump wants to expel all dissidents & immigrants whom he labels as ‘unpatriotic & criminal’. Somehow it is conveniently forgotten that Donald Trump is a convicted rapist who tried to overthrow the American Constitution on 1/6/21. There is no more vile & loathsome criminal, and bigger danger to democracy, than Donald Trump. Those are political facts, and facts are stubborn things.
Trump (like Biden) supports the fascist genocide in Gaza, as the entire political establishment brands political opposition to this as antisemitic, all while sending more arms & money to the Banderite Nazis in Kiev for the purpose of imperialist colonization of Russia. Such is the Orwellian nature of modern mass media. Any dissent is to be grounds for forcible expulsion under the new American dictator Donald Trump.
Elon Musk has now accessed the computer database to the US Treasury Department, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, etc, for the purpose of slashing benefits to citizens and firing government workers. This fascist raiding of government offices has been unopposed by the cowardly Democrats, who seek collaboration with these modern-day Nazis.
It won’t be so easy for Donald Trump to imitate Adolf Hitler’s program of Nazi terror & concentration camps. The world’s population is much more educated than it was 90 years ago. The lessons of history haven’t been forgotten by those who have suffered. Most people see through the fascist & imperialist lies of official politics and will resolutely resist fascism. The working people of the US must organize themselves outside of official politics & the trade union bureaucracies, which are beholden to imperialism and have fallen in line with Trump after the 2024 election.
The big tech CEO’s are among the most cowardly when it comes to protecting free speech on the internet & fighting fascism. Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, etc, have contributed generously to the Trump inauguration campaign and have clearly signaled they are willing partners in imposing any ‘Big Lie’ on their users through propaganda on their platforms.
The battle lines have been drawn, and which side you choose to be on will determine your place in history. At this point in history, all the billionaires & politicians are fascists & fascist sympathizers. These uber-rich Nazis all support attacking immigrants as ‘foreign enemy invaders’ who are deemed as sub-human and deserving of no democratic rights.
Of course, these neo-Nazis forget that America was built on immigration. Ask them, “Where did YOU come from?” There were over 10 million Native Americans here before European immigration began centuries ago. African blacks were forcibly immigrated to the Americas to build the triangle trade: slaves, sugar & rum– which is the origin of the American empire. After the US Civil War, Chinese immigrants were brought in to build the railroads that connected the American economy together. Italians, Poles, Slavs, etc, immigrated to work in US stockyards & factories, which provided the food & goods that grew the US into a mighty global economic power.
In modern construction, it’s Mexicans who do much of the hard labor in building, expanding & repairing critical infrastructure such as roads, highways & buildings– commercial & residential. They do this work because most white & black Americans don’t want to do it, or can’t do it. If Trump/Musk deport all these Hispanics, etc, who will do all this necessary work? Their answer will be slave labor camps.
As anyone with a brain can see, these fascists have no thought-out plan for the social catastrophe they are creating. If you ‘remove’ everyone who disagrees with Trump’s fascist policies, there will be no one left to do the work. This only leads to America’s destruction. Fascists are parasites who consider themselves superior to all others and allow no dissent. Nazis are violent sociopaths who can only rule when they are handed the keys to power by the capitalist imperialists, which is what Biden/Harris did.
It is this diseased social class that must be smashed by an organized resistance of workers & youth. This resistance must be international in nature. The phony “national security” excuse is the hallmark of imperialism & fascism, which vigorously combats being held accountable to public opinion or historical truth. Only “international security” can bring lasting peace and an end to capitalist inequality, exploitation, climate change, etc. The workers of the world must unite under the Trotskyist (Marxist) banner of international socialism to defeat this modern-day Nazi takeover. The starting point for this is to read the World Socialist Web Site daily, and then join the Socialist Equality Party which is the only political party on Earth that represents the international working class.
Linked above (and age-restricted censored by YouTube) is the beginning of “Genocide” which is episode 20 of The World at War (1973), the closest thing to a definitive WW2 documentary series. The World at War was a UK production in twenty-six episodes, each about 53 minutes in length. Its weakness is its inherent misunderstanding of the power of the Russian Revolution in mobilizing the troops & industrial power the Soviet Union needed to defeat the Nazi blitzkrieg in 1941, but beyond that I highly recommend it. World War Two happened for a reason, and we are all obligated as civilized humans to absorb these lessons and teach them to others. That’s how you prevent another Hitler from doing his worst. It’s called educating society to a point where there is no war or inequality. In reality, our educational system in America has been destroyed by the political class to a point where there is very little learning going on in any school anymore. The ruling class promotes every form of reaction & backwardness to preserve their economic interests. It takes work to defeat the fascists and education is where it starts.
