DESCRIPTION:The Election of Trump: The political issues facing workers and 
 youth\n\nThursday, December 1 at 7:30pm\n61 Evans Hall, UC Berkeley\n 
 \nProtests have erupted throughout the country against the election of 
 Donald Trump. These demonstrations of high school youth, college students 
 and other sections of young people express a deep hostility to the 
 right-wing and xenophobic policies of a future Trump administration and all 
 efforts to divide the population along racial lines.\n\nThe sentiments 
 animating the protesters stand in sharp contrast to the response of leading 
 Democratic Party officials who have lined up to wish Trump “success” 
 and pledge their readiness to collaborate with him.\n\nThis cowardice of 
 the Democrats before Trump and the far right is a continuation of their 
 role in the election campaign. Clinton ran a right-wing campaign based on 
 scandals and warmongering, directed particularly against Russia. She ran as 
 the continuation of the Obama administration, which has presided over eight 
 years of military violence, growing social inequality and escalating 
 attacks on democratic rights.\n\nOpposition to Trump cannot be carried 
 forward through or in association with the Democratic Party or any of its 
 factions. This longtime party of American imperialism cannot be changed, 
 reformed or “taken back.”\n\nIn this meeting, we will discuss the 
 significance and implications of the US presidential elections and the way 
 forward for workers and youth.\n\nSuggested reading for Thursday's
