United States - November 5th, 2020
Those who decide today who will be the president in the US are the shareholders' meetings of the transnationals
They are the ones voting now...
That is what imperialist bourgeois democracy is all about
The "New Left" at the feet of the "democratic" imperialists
Following Stalinism's footsteps...
Reading all the positions of the so-called “anti-capitalists” or “socialists” left, you do not get out of your astonishment.
In the US elections it is being decided which staff of Wall Street and the Pentagon comes to centralize the attack and looting of the oppressed peoples and the American and world working class.
They are deciding which imperialist party of the financial oligarchy is going to be put in command of the US military and nuclear apparatus and of its occupation troops throughout the world!
Rome chooses Caesar...
The entire world "democratic" left has declared for supporting one of the candidates for emperor. And so it is. Read what they write without blushing. They say it either directly and openly, or critically because they consider that "he did not go all the way in his fight against Trump." They are critical Democrats. This is an open break with all politics of working class and socialist independence.
Actually, this filth of the Caesars of Washington comes from the 1% of parasites and from that slave-holders' democracy of the United States, where 15 million shareholders and parasites make a living by cutting coupons on the slavery of millions of colonial slaves and black and Latino slaves at home. They are the ones who suck their blood, like that of the entire American working class. Biden is one of their bosses!!
It is clear that the electoral result is currently being settled between the CEOs and shareholders of the large transnational corporations and the financial oligarchy. That's what US imperialists' democracy is all about, and look no further, because it is what it is ...
They are discussing how best to defeat, deceive and demobilize the working class and the black people of the United States: if by kicking and without deception or by deception and by kicking later on.
That's what Biden is about. He comes to douse the barricade fires with delusions and sweet phrases after his governors and mayors are tired of murdering blacks with their policemen, as they did with George Floyd in Minneapolis... and of expelling Latinos to the other side of the Rio Grande as Trump the scoundrel and repressor does.
The difference between Trump and Biden is how to stop, deflect and defeat the mass uprising that was unleashed in the US in June and July against the brutal repression and the capitalist crash. Biden brings sweet words to reconstitute the firepower of the police (threatened by the hatred of the masses) and that of US imperialism, which must legitimize its facade to recover its own firepower worldwide ... For this, the masses must be removed from above, an issue in which the bully Trump has not succeeded, having thrown instead a little more gasoline on the fire.
2020 is the year of the second blow that the US, with its economic explosion, is hitting the world economy, its competitors and the peoples it oppresses with. It is a matter of continuing with the stick of the trade war or combining that stick with some "diplomacy"...
That is being debated by the establishment at this time to define whether to accept the votes by mail or not.
They discuss how business is going: whether they are to be run by the technology and "clean energy" transnationals or the "dirty energy" ones ... Already Biden, who is the great gas magnate, is rubbing his hands with his business partners the technological companies, which await succulent business... especially, in the high-tech military industry.
Trump's gang resists. He is essential, with the club in his hand, to openly defeat the masses and corner the competition of the other imperialist powers on the planet. But Wall Street is inclined to think that their commander Trump, who does not know how to back down, is leading them to hit a wall...
And they are counting the votes... They have not decided yet. CEOs rule. The votes take time to arrive. Trump does not recognize the result. He presses with a trial against fraud.
Can any charlatan say that this is not a behind-the-scenes negotiation within the establishment between Biden and the Trump faction, on whether or not to give power to the "Democrat"?
Anyone who believes that the problem is about postal ballots or that the prosecutors are tired of counting votes is not a Marxist, but a reformist idiot.
The so-called "New Left" has championed the defense of US imperialist democracy. They are on a "democratic front" with Biden and his party... They postulate him as a "kind Caesar"...
But this is what the Wall Street cheating and deception is all about.
These people have already broken with any working class politics, not only with the socialist ones, they have reneged the slightest struggle for class independence.
They have come out like mushrooms after being watered by the "Union Democracy"!
Their speech, at the very least, sounds like an old fashioned one. They deceive the masses when they argue that in the US there is a deadly clash between American democracy and the Bonapartist Trump. Some leftists are already calling to join Biden's vote surveyors... Others call to turn into military guards of his votes ... Others, such as the SEP (Socialist Equality Party), call to "halt the Trump coup." The PTS boys of the "generous democracy" who denounce "the traps of American democracy with which Trump seeks to keep the elections" could not miss the scene. But that's what capitalist democracy is all about! Or do you believe in Santa Claus?
Please! Stop! Capitalist democracy, and the US one in particular, is the fiercest of the dictatorship of capital both in the US and the world, which it dominates under a fascist regime at gunpoint ... Yes, fascist ... That is US democracy ... It is Roman democracy.
Other leftists lament that the "blue tide" failed. They criticize harshly their "democratic" ally for not fighting harder against Trump, just as the chameleon Sanders would have done …
The "New Left", in the footsteps of Stalinism
Not even Stalin dared to support so blindly both Roosevelt and the so-called "democratic" US imperialism and the allies, as his followers and epigones do today...
This is how these adventures of reformists, servile lackeys of the USA imperialists end, just as they did during and after World War II, when “democratic” imperialisms swept the planet equal to or worse than Hitler. Or can some traitor deny this?
The more the USA pirates dress as "democratic", the more new counterrevolutionary wars will come, and the more they will create new and more perverse Trumps... Actually, both Biden and Trump have emerged from the same sewer. .. Or does anyone have any doubts about it?
Wasn't it Biden's political great-grandfather who dropped a couple of nuclear bombs at Japan that had already surrendered? Wasn't it his "Democrat" grandpa who sprayed Vietnam with Napalm?
To validate the trap of the US imperialists' elections is to sustain that parody from which the next executioner of the workers of both the world and the United States will emerge.
We are facing the old policy of Stalinism of looking to the "progressive", "democratic" or "patriotic" bourgeois camp, to tie the fate of the proletariat to a sector of its bosses and slaveholders, with the aim of disorganizing all independent workers' struggles.
The policy of "everyone with Podemos against the right" in Spain ended with the PSOE and Podemos supporting the monarchy, which wiped out all the workers' conquests.
They also did it with Syriza in Greece: "everyone against the Troika" they said, while it was Syriza that applied the worst attacks on the Greek working class.
"Everyone against Piñera" they said in Chile and ended up organizing a plebiscite that leaves Piñera in the presidency for 2 more years and the Pinochetista generals in the barracks.
The social-imperialist left wants to tie the fate of the workers to its "democratic" executioner. But be careful, Caesar is cruel and today he uses you and tomorrow he rejects you.
The "New Left": a true fraud to any policy of class independence
The FIT-U of Argentina, the so-called “anti-capitalists” and their parties hide their fellow men: the North American left that presented independent candidates in these elections.
They are so hung up on the coattails of their "democratic" US imperialist bosses that they are "forgetting" something, especially the FIT-U parties.
Why is everyone hiding that Socialist Action presented a candidate for president of the left in the US?
How is it that they kept quiet about the SWP (Socialist Workers Party) nominating Alyson Kennedy as a candidate for the US presidency and getting close to one million votes?
How is it that they silenced this? Politically we can hardly agree with these currents at all, but they are workers' parties that we call to vote and defend their votes against the imperialist democracy... that of Trump and that of Biden.
Now it is crystal clear. They belong to "socialist" Sanders and Ocasio Cortez... the "socialists" of the establishment… The supporters of Biden and the US pirates.
We must break with the bourgeoisie!
We must unify the ranks of the workers!
We Socialists and anti-imperialists fight for workers' democracy and for the unity of the exploited black people with the working class and rebellious youth. We call for their coordination and organization by city, state and nationwide.
We call on them to crush white supremacists in the streets, as well as the Trump gangs and the murderous police, under the command of the Democrats and Republicans; to take over the police stations and to set up the workers' and black people's militias.
We call on Black Lives Matter to withdraw its support for the Democratic Party, the party of the murderers of Michael Brown, and to act as did the Pennsylvania assembly that threw them out of the assemblies for refusing to disband the murderous police that killed George Floyd.
To the working class and the oppressed peoples of the world we must tell the truth: Biden, with a renewed staff in Washington, will deepen and carry Trump's policy to the end, including the gunfire.
There is no democracy for the oppressed peoples and the world working class. Only wars, looting, IMF blackmail, CIA military bases and prisons, counterrevolutionary agreements and a den of bandits like the UN always ready to intervene on behalf of all of the former against the rebellious masses.
The true ally of the workers and oppressed peoples of the world is the rebellious black people in the United States and the American working class, who suffer the same hardships as the world working class within the imperialist beast.
The fight is for a socialist United States. He who hands over the nail of his little finger to the "democratic" benefits of the pirates in Washington and creates in the masses the slightest illusion about them, not only gives his soul to the devil, but also commits a true betrayal to the world working class.
The June and July fighting drove the imperialist pirates and their institutions into retreat. Trump had ended up hiding in the bunker that is 14 stories below the White House. With Biden and the electoral trap, he raised his head and even threatens to stay in power. It is not with Biden how Trump is defeated ... it is by resuming the path of the June and July fighting, fighting as in Pennsylvania, Portland and in all the cities of the U.S. of America. That is the way to unite the working class, which Biden and Trump have divided between them and stripped of any political class independence.
As Engels would say, every 4 years the workers vote who will be their next executioner. Under the dictatorship of capital, in this democracy for billionaires, everything is decided by the shareholders. They are working it out right now.
