A high-ranking official of the United Auto Workers apparatus and supporter of UAW President Shawn Fain has posted a death threat against me. I will not be intimidated, and this campaign will not be stopped. I call on all workers to oppose this act of intimidation. Statement below

Trump said: "An entire civilization will die tonight." We declare our solidarity with the people of Iran. The working class of the world must oppose this monstrous crime. It must be stopped.

On Saturday I visited the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, where leaders of the Third Reich were tried after World War II for "crimes against peace." Trump and his henchmen who have launched a war of aggression against Iran are committing the same grave crime.

What could be more appropriate? Having lost 90 percent of its value in relation to gold since 1971 and mounted atop a national debt of $38 trillion, Trump's signature on each US dollar testifies to the essential worthlessness of the greenback.

On Saturday, I was barred from addressing a No Kings rally in Nürnberg, Germany. The organizers had said there would be an open mike. I had identified myself as WSWS editor, and was told that I would be allowed to speak. But after waiting for nearly an hour, I was surrounded by Democratic Party goons. They would not allow me to speak and condemn the illegal war against Iran, which the Democrats support.

Today's cold-blooded execution of a citizen of Minneapolis is Trump's response to yesterday’s powerful demonstration against ICE’s reign of terror. It is urgent that workers build a rank-and-file movement for a nationwide general strike!

And now we have a photo that captures for all time the treachery of Mamdani-Trump alliance. 5/5

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

On election night, Mamdani declared: "And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power." Mamdani is now an accomplice of Trump's drive toward dictatorship. So much for terrifying a despot. 1/

@MehringVerlag @buchmesse Ich werde kommen. Das Buch über Sozialismus und Krieg könnte wohl wichtiger kaum sein.

Vier Wochen vor der Bundestagswahl kennen die etablierten Parteien nur noch ein Thema: Hetze gegen Flüchtlinge und Migranten. Die Spitzenkandidaten überbieten sich gegenseitig mit Forderungen nach Abschiebungen und Abschottung der Grenzen.

@GuntramPross @tagesschau Mit der Hetze gegen Flüchtlinge, die jetzt im Mittelpunkt ihres Wahlkampfs steht, verfolgen die etablierten Parteien zwei Ziele: Die Spaltung der Arbeiterklasse und den Aufbau eines Polizeistaats.

@johncusack It is not the "country" that is to blame, but the Democratic Party itself. The Democrats wanted a "strong Republican Party," and they got it.

I have sent this letter to an outstanding historian of the Civil War era

Trump’s victory may be shocking, but it is hardly surprising. His election is the disastrous outcome of the long-term and very deliberate repudiation by the Democratic Party of any programmatic orientation to the working class, which Hillary Clinton infamously dismissed as “a basket of deplorables” and Biden recently referred to as “garbage.”

Focused on the flim-flam of identity politics — i.e., the politics of more or less affluent sections of the middle class seeking a more favorable distribution of the wealth among the top 10 percent — the Democratic Party convinced itself that it had found an alternative to the politics that prioritized class. This intellectual regression was promoted and justified in the academy by the various forms of anti- and pseudo-Marxist philosophies (Frankfurt School and Post-Modernism) that were embraced by a generation of ex-radical students in the aftermath of 1968.

In the United States, the new anti-Marxism blended with the longstanding tradition of anti-communism. Leftwing politics, of the sort connected to working class militancy, disappeared. The grievances related to identity displaced any serious concern with the massive concentration of wealth in a small segment of society at the expense of the working class.

The pseudo-left replaced calls for equality with demands for equity. This was closely connected to the relentless harping on racial and ethnic differences, and, with it, a contempt for the genuinely democratic traditions of the United States. This found noxious expression in the 1619 Project. All this has been accompanied by a general cultural degradation, the promotion of every form of backwardness.

To the extent that the Biden administration had an agenda, its number one item was the escalation of military conflict with Russia and China. Its endorsement of the Gaza genocide — among the greatest crimes in the history of the new century — has been entirely bound up with its militaristic global strategy.

The disastrous consequences of Trump’s victory can be averted only by “a new birth” of genuinely socialist politics, based on the working class and animated by an international strategy that unites global humanity.

On Sunday, November 3rd, the Socialist Equality Party will host a panel discussion, "The American Earthquake: Election Day 2024 & the Fight Ahead."

[Joseph Kishore @jkishore]

The 2024 elections have exposed an unprecedented political and social crisis in the United States.

Whatever happens on Election Day, the American and international working class stand on the brink of a political earthquake.
