by system failure
As we wrote four years ago, the globalist faction of the US capital (primarily consisted by the liberal plutocracy) had the chance to counterattack against the capitalists around Trump through Biden's recent victory, in the ongoing capitalist civil war.
Yet, despite the fact that Trump
brought some serious trouble to the liberal capitalists, ironically, he
came right on time to rescue them. He helped them escape from the dead
end, after eight years of an utterly disappointing Obama
administration.
At
the time when the liberal capitalists ran out of tricks (and social
movements were pushing for real change in the US), Trump came to their
rescue. Suddenly, the Obama fraud was almost forgotten and all the
progressives had to align behind the liberal fraudsters in order to
defeat the "creepy orange clown". After four years of anti-Trump liberal
hysteria and a pandemic nightmare that also came right on time, the
liberal capitalists managed to put another puppet in power. And they did
it without the slightest retreat against their neoliberal order that
almost wiped out the US working class all previous years.
It seems that this was enough to put the liberal class itself into sleep, thinking that it could be winning forever, just by playing the Trump-threat card combined with the weaponization of identity politics and the woke agenda.
The Corporate Dems brutally suppressed any real progressive voice inside the Party, demanding blind obedience to the neoliberal norm. When Biden won, they thought that the silent coup against Bernie Sanders, orchestrated by the DNC establishment back in 2016, would be forgotten and forgiven for good.
They closed their eyes to the fact that the Sanders agenda was so popular, especially to the American youth, and that Bernie Sanders could beat Trump by a landslide, according to all polls.
For four years, they did nothing different to relief the American working class from the economic insecurity, debts, everyday struggle for the basics, growing inequality and increasingly inflated bills.
For four years, they did almost nothing to provide free healthcare, build a fair tax system, create a serious plan for student debt relief, deal with the homelessness epidemic that is getting worse and worse, re-build America's collapsing infrastructure.
For four years, the only thing they did, was to hold their next untalented puppet on the bench in order to throw her in the court without training. Because they thought that repeating the Obama trick through a female version would be enough to beat Trump again.
And as if all this was not enough, they opened another war front right next to the other major nuclear power. And they did it by overthrowing an elected government in Ukraine, supporting the nazis and blowing-up the North-Stream pipelines, which caused serious economic trouble to their key ally and most economically powerful country at the heart of Europe.
As if it was not enough, they assisted unconditionally a fascist regime in the Middle East to commit genocide, for over a year now, pretending that they are working for a ceasefire.
And their audacity and cynicism hit a new record, when they almost demanded from Arab-Americans, progressives, students and even Jews who fight for peace and justice, to simply forget this one year of horror in Gaza, hold their nose and vote for Harris.
Well, after all this accumulated hubris, this huge defeat by Trump should not be considered a surprise at all.
What is left now to see, is whether Trump will make them look even worse by terminating the war in Ukraine for a start.
And whether he will make them look much much worse by ending the slaughter in Gaza. Yes, his rhetoric was definitely supportive to the Zionist regime, but we are talking about Trump, who can make a turn of 360 degrees against what he said a day ago and do the exact opposite. Especially when he knows that this is his last term and he doesn't need the support of the Israeli lobby anymore. And especially if he decide to show 'who is the boss' to the war criminal Netanyahu.
In any case, it seems that the darkest times are ahead us. The top oligarch Elon Musk decided to lead the pro-Trump capitalist faction. He put himself in an advantageous position next to the current winner in order to be ready to claim the US presidency after the end of Trump's term.
And as the Genocide Dems would be extremely difficult to regroup after this devastating defeat, the liberal capitalists may seize the opportunity to take over the partydirectly.
By 2030, we may see the last remnants of democracy die in 'Land of the Free' and the rise of a new 21st century corporate feudalism.
