DESCRIPTION:The election of Donald Trump is a critical turning point, with global 
 repercussions. Millions, stunned by the outcome, are becoming increasingly 
 disillusioned by the Democratic Party’s response. Once denouncing Trump 
 as a “fascist,” Kamala Harris now urges calm, while Biden pledges a 
 “peaceful transition” as if handing power to Trump should be celebrated 
 as democratic. In reality, Trump’s re-election sets the stage for attacks 
 on democratic rights, mass repression, and social 
 counter-revolution.\n\nPlans for mass deportations, severe cuts to social 
 programs, and expanded military aggression are already in motion. Key Trump 
 allies openly threaten their political opponents with violence, while 
 corporate backers like Elon Musk tout policies of “pain”—targeting 
 essential social services for cuts and sanctioning layoffs.\n\nThe defense 
 of democratic rights and the social interests of the working class cannot 
 be entrusted to those who are responsible for Trump’s victory. The 
 Democratic Party will not resist Trump’s plans. But the working class 
 will. Over the past year, protests against the Gaza genocide and increasing 
 strike actions reveal a powerful surge in social opposition.\n\nThis 
 emergency online event, organized by the Socialist Equality Party, “The 
 Election Debacle and the Fight Against Dictatorship,” will provide a 
 critical analysis of the election’s outcome and outline a socialist 
 strategy to mobilize workers in the immense struggles that lie 
 ahead.\n\nSpeakers\n\nDavid North\nDavid North is the national chairman of 
 the Socialist Equality Party and chairman of the World Socialist Web Site 
 International Editorial Board. He has been active in socialist politics for 
 over 50 years.\n\n\nJoseph Kishore\nJoseph Kishore has been the national 
 secretary of the SEP since 2008 and has played a central role in the 
 development of its political program and the building of the SEP. He ran 
 recently as the SEP’s presidential candidate in the 2024 US 
 elections.\n\n\nJerry White\nJerry White was the Socialist Equality Party 
 (US) vice presidential candidate in the 2024 US elections. He is the Labor 
 Editor of the World Socialist Web Site and has been a member of the 
 Trotskyist movement since 1979.\n\n\nEric London\nEric London is a leading 
 member of the Socialist Equality Party who writes on US politics, 
 immigration and history for the World Socialist Web Site. He has been a
