DESCRIPTION:The Nazi rampage in Charlottesville, Virginia and the response of the Trump 
 administration exposed the close connections between the White House and 
 far-right fascistic forces. In the mass of media and political commentary 
 that has followed these events, however, there is no serious examination of 
 the social and political roots of the far-reaching decay of democratic 
 forms of rule in the United States.\n\nExcised from the denunciations of 
 Trump’s comments from the Democratic Party is any reference to the 
 reality of social life in America: the immense growth of social inequality, 
 the extraordinary power of the military-intelligence apparatus, and the 
 consequences of a quarter century of unending war. While presenting the 
 United States as a country seething with racial intolerance, the Democrats 
 have\nupheld as defenders of democracy the very military generals and 
 corporate executives that are its greatest threat.\n\nJoin the IYSSE for a 
 discussion of the nature of the Trump administration and its relationship 
 to the social and political crisis in the United States and 
 internationally.\n\nSuggested reading:\nTrump’s defense of Nazi violence: 
 The mask comes off\n\nThe political and social roots of fascist violence in 
 the US\n\nWhy is the media promoting Antifa?\n
