DESCRIPTION:The rise of Donald Trump to president of the United States is an 
 insurrection of the oligarchs. Trump has assembled a cabinet of 
 billionaires, military generals, and corporate CEOs dedicated to war, the 
 destruction of democratic rights and the eradication of whatever remains of 
 the progressive reforms—achieved through decades of mass struggles—that 
 ameliorated conditions of life for the working class.\n\nHowever, Trump is 
 not some sort of monstrous interloper in what is a flawed but essentially 
 decent society. He is the genuine face of the American ruling class. The 
 road along which he is taking the American people was paved by Obama. The 
 Democratic Party is concentrating its criticism of Trump not on his 
 ultra-right wing agenda, but on his alleged “softness” toward Russia 
 and his insufficient deference to the CIA.\n\nThere is a burning necessity 
 for workers and young people to develop a genuine political alternative to 
 war and social reaction. Enormous social and political struggles are on the 
 horizon, but a political leadership must be built. There is no time to 
 lose.\n\nSuggested reading for Thursday's class:\n\nTrump appeals to the

 bloc”?\nhttp://wsws.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=83b8c3f0fc4187013b28d1df2&id=30cff44ac2&e=a0bf31872e\n
