The Trump Presidency and the Danger of World War

The victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election is a political earthquake that has exposed before the entire world the terminal crisis of American democracy. Such is the degeneration of bourgeois rule that it has elevated an obscene charlatan and billionaire demagogue to the highest office in the land.

Under Trump, America will not be made “great again.” It will be driven into the dirt. The preparations for dictatorship and world war are far advanced.

Workers and young people must take warning and work to build a political leadership to oppose war and dictatorship and the capitalist system that produces them.
