font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">The margin of error on these poll figures should have been given. Why is Trump getting increased support from Black, Hispanic and low income voters? These are the oppressed masses Marxists are supposed to appeal to. All the Marxist groups are small sects is one of the problems as they can't get their message out to the masses (a major exception seems to be in Seattle). Neither monopoly capitalist party can solve the problems facing the masses-- job security, lack of funds </span><span style="animation-name: none !important; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="animation-name: none !important; color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">for infrastructure, medical care, education, environmental protection, ending gun violence, slashing the military budget, police violence, voter suppression, institutional racism, homelessness, public health, child care, etc. Millions are turned off of the two party system and won't vote for either party or vote at all--14% of the voters. Liberals posing as leftists trying to build support for Biden and the Democrats only increase the Trump protest vote. The left should be calling out both imperialist parties and trying to build a real socialist alternative. This will at least begin to increase class consciousness in the masses -- especially in the labor movement dominated by the labor lieutenants of the capitalist class. At the present moment fighting 'fascism' by pushing the Democrats does't seem to be working. Only an independent radical left alternative can generate the energy to really defeat Trump in the long run-- a mass movement that pushes the Democrat's base to the left at the very least while laying the foundations for a real socialist movement, a nucleus may form around the Cornel West campaign. This should be aimed at the those stay at home masses who have lost faith in bourgeois politics -- the Democrats can fight their own battles.</span></p><div style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; transition-property: none !important;"><div class="x1n2onr6" id=":rep:" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; position: relative; transition-property: none !important;"><div class="x1n2onr6" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; position: relative; transition-property: none !important;"><div class="xmjcpbm x1n2onr6" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; position: relative; transition-property: none !important;"><div class="x78zum5 x14ju556 x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x1n2onr6" style="animation-name: none !important; display: flex; font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; overflow: hidden; position: relative; transition-property: none !important;"><a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz x1heor9g xt0b8zv x5yr21d xh8yej3" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/upshot/biden-trump-poll-2024.html?smid=fb-share&fbclid=IwAR29eA5vzc_A_nhxFQ7Fd5jCtbkatpJtuoY6LTawVY9dTEG2DPPtokqrQuE" rel="nofollow noreferrer" role="link" style="animation-name: none !important; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: inherit; height: 261px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor; padding: 0px; text-align: inherit; text-decoration: none; touch-action: manipulation; transition-property: none !important; width: 500px;" tabindex="0" target="_blank"><div class="x6s0dn4 x1jx94hy x78zum5 xdt5ytf x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x1n2onr6 xh8yej3" style="align-items: center; animation-name: none !important; display: flex; flex-direction: column; font-family: inherit; overflow: hidden; position: relative; transition-property: none !important; width: 500px;"><div style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; max-width: 100%; min-width: 500px; transition-property: none !important; width: calc(-622.60575px + 191.571vh);"><div class="xqtp20y x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x1n2onr6" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 261px; position: relative; transition-property: none !important;"><div class="x10l6tqk x13vifvy" style="animation-name: none !important; font-family: inherit; height: 261px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; transition-property: none !important; width: 500px;"><img alt="Can the Race Really Be That Close?

It's nice to see the US and NATO doing all they can to prolong the war and ensure that many thousands more will be killed and more cities and factories destroyed to keep this ultra-right fascist invested nationalist government in control of Ukraine. The Germans must be happy to see their old eastern policy on the agenda again.</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1n2onr6" id=":r134:" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><div class="x1n2onr6" style="font-family: inherit;

The US has stepped up its propaganda war against China ever since it shot down what was likely an errant weather balloon that strayed off course over the US (for all to see). For the MSM the US official position (''a spy balloon") is simply taken as gospel and so reported. But google the following website, </span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xt0b8zv x1fey0fg" href="https://www.aerosociety.com/news/chinas-spy-balloon-a-load-of-hot-air/?fbclid=IwAR0HRbTTsZxaR3xbSPHakFFEm1XSm-G6L2ge74xxJRlw5WzNVWBcwRbsqW8" rel="nofollow noopener" role="link" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation;" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://www.aerosociety.com/.../chinas-spy-balloon-a.../</a></span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">, for an article by a top expert </span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">at the Royal Aeronautical Society in the UK. The fact that this organization is heavily funded by Boeing, part of the US controlled MIC, removes suspicion it is Chinese propaganda. All things considered the Chinese position (errant weather balloon) is more likely true than the US position. Earlier reports in the NYT indicated that the balloon could not have gotten any useful information the Chinese didn't already have from its satellites. So why is the US making a federal case out of this meaningless incident? It is to prepare the mass consciousness of the usually uninformed American people to accept stepped up cold war policies against China and present China as a threat to the US (which has over 700 foreign military bases, many as part of an encirclement program against China, versus China with 1 foreign military base -- in Djibouti to fight piracy around the Horn of Africa). Now the US is warning China not to give military supplies to Russia while it gives whatever it wants to Ukraine. But there are two sides to this war--Russian aggression against Ukraine versus Russian defensive counter-attack against US/NATO aggression against Russia and the Russian population in the Donbas. Which position you take on this issue reflects your views in favor of, or against, US imperialism. China so far has been neutral, only giving non lethal aid to Russia and calling for a negotiated peace so the US is just picking a fight by ''warning" China about what it can and cannot do. These imperial dictates are just what one expects from an Empire to subordinate states. But China is a major country in its own right and will not be dictated to by US imperialism. So the US is starting to play a potentially disastrous game with its saber-rattling with China. So,''Ho. Ho. Biden has got to go''-- the left has to see to it that the next president is a peace president and a pro-labor president not the faux-pro labor hypocrite now in the White House. The best way to defang the Republicans is to run real pro labor and peace candidates, so far as possible with Democrats until we are strong enough to field real socialist candidates.</span></p><div class="x1lliihq" style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1yztbdb x1n2onr6 xh8yej3 x1ja2u2z" style="font-family: inherit;

Anyone on the left admiring Zizek will realize what an anti-socialist clown he really is.

No one with any understanding of Lenin would put up with such nonsense.</p><p>“I am a Leninist. […] This is why I supported Obama.” "This is one of his best jokes of all time. The deadpan delivery is killer because he actually means it. He literally equates Leninism with supporting the neoliberal Deporter-in-Chief whose diversity cred provided thin cover for revving the engine of the U.S. imperial machine around the world, leading to Obama’s infamous statement about his assassination program, namely that he was “really good at killing people.”</p><p>Capitalism’s Court Jester: Slavoj Žižek</p><p>COUNTERPUNCH.ORG</p><p>Capitalism’s Court Jester: Slavoj Žižek</p><p>One of the most prominent intellectuals in the contemporary world was named to the list of the “Top 100 Global Thinkers” in Foreign Policy magazine in 2012.

Fascism is a ruling class program and if the Republicans can't do the job, the Democrats will -- it won't be as blatant but it will be fascism just the same.

Its power lies in its ability to erase history and context, to act as if the inequalities that persist sprang into existence haphazardly and require only redoubled efforts of the poor to bring about change. That is the reason for eliminating the discussion of the troubled parts of our history from the classroom. Learning about how our past led to the sufferings of today inevitably raises questions of present </span><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">responsibility.'' An interesting. perspective on MLK's last Sunday sermon. It advocates a philosophy of love and an interpretation of Christianity based on this view. Since religions are not based on a scientific worldview they can be interpreted anyway you like. In broad strokes Christianity, as well as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism or any other mass religion can be interpreted from the point view of the ruling classes or of the oppressed. The values of MLK's form of Christianity are based on the interests and concerns of the latter group. To bring about an earthly realization of these ideals requites a scientific worldview and understanding of reality that religion, based on supernatural causes and effects, is unable to provide. However, almost all the values championed by MLK are to be found in the doctrines of scientific socialism AKA Marxism-Leninism. The only major difference is ML does not condemn the use of violence by the oppressed in self defense when the ruling classes unleash violent behavior on them. When the dust settles, the only way the ideals of MLK can come to fruition is by the abolition of capitalism and classes and the formation of a world socialist order based on the values of communism.

Trying to 100% blame everything on the Russians as if they just started a war for the hell of it and had no serious concerns about the Ukrainian rightists overthrowing the elected Russian friendly government by a US sponsored coup, the shelling of the Russian speaking Donbas by the Ukrainians , and NATO's aggressive advance to the Russian border. </span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">The US/NATO has supported breaking up Serbia and creating the new state of Kosovo, the US has sanctioned Israel's annexing part of Syria and occupying the West Bank and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza-- as well as NATO's overthrow of the government in Libya, and of course the US invaded and took over Iraq. In fact, the US has done, and is doing, everything Putin is being denounced for. Of course the US government gets the last word in the NYT article: “By attacking Ukraine, the breadbasket of the world, Putin is attacking the world’s poor, spiking global hunger when people are already on the brink of famine,” said Samantha Power, the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID." Well, if the US is so concerned it can take a chunk of the billions it spends on keeping the war going and increasing its military power and use that money to feed the starving world-- we have the ability to do so but it would also cut into the profits of the military-industrial complex, so forget about it and put up with the hypocrisy of the odious Samantha Power and the imperialist government she represents.</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1yztbdb x1n2onr6 xh8yej3 x1ja2u2z" style="font-family: inherit;

And his attempts to spur a military uprising ended up consolidating the control of Mr. Maduro, 60, over the armed forces." As usual, the NYT article begins by telling us how bad "socialism" is and that the economy is in taters, people are starving, </span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">etc. But near the end we are informed it is "American sanctions" (not "socialism") that "gutted" the government's ability to use revenues for the people and made the population struggle for "daily survival." We are also told the great movement to restore "democracy" led by Guaidó failed because he couldn't get the military to stage a coup.

Marxists should be clear what this war is about. It is a rehearsal by the US and the international monopoly capitalist class that rules the West and most of what Biden and the US imperialists call the "free world"-- the part of the globe under the control of the imperialists, for the real war that the dynamics of the capitalist system must wage against China.

This would have made NATO irrelevant and destroyed the ideological justification for the US military budget and the billions in profits it extracts from the world. Russia has been forced into a de facto alliance with China and other powers hostile to the present US imperialist world domination. Some of these powers are unsavory from a Marxist perspective with respect to their internal regimes, yet they objectively play a positive role in the struggle against the number one enemy of peace and the number one exploiter of the world's working people-- US imperialism. As far as the international situation is concerned it doesn't matter which group of fascists control the US military (the soft ones represented by the Democratic leadership, or the hard ones run by the GOP leadership). Domestically the illusions of bourgeois democracy are allowed to play by the soft fascists but they will be stripped way when necessary.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">This article presents a realistic analysis of the military and political situation between Russia and Ukraine.

All Russian attempts at peaceful negotiation in the context of OSCE and the Normandy Format were ignored. As late as December 2021 Russia put on the table the drafts of two treaties that would have been the basis of a fruitful dialogue pursuant to article 2(3) of the UN Charter.

The monopoly capitalism (AKA imperialism) and drive for profits and world economic hegemony of the US dominated "free world", not "nasty demented" Mr Putin, is responsible for this war, and the Left has do what it can to enlighten our own people and working class and get them to demand Biden and his capitalist cronies start the process to peacefully end it.</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1n2onr6" id="jsc_c_m3" style="font-family: inherit;

font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">This article is basically all speculation. Two things, however, are clear-- the US is doing nothing to calm down the situation and may even be provoking it. "Such threats and counterthreats, seemingly right out of the worst moments of the Cold War, are exactly the kind that most Americans and Russians thought ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union." They would have ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Warsaw Pact IF the US had not decided to </span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">expand NATO right up to the Russian border and overthrow a Russian friendly government in Ukraine and replace it with rabid ant-Russian nationalists. You reap what you sow. Use your imagination-- suppose the Soviet Union did not collapse but incorporated Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela into the Warsaw Pact, overthrew the government of Mexico and put a pro Soviet anti-Yankee government in power and proposed it join the Warsaw pact as well. The US protests and is told not to worry the Soviet Union is only trying to make the world more safe and secure--it's not threatening the US. Well, Biden would react like Putin.</span></p><div class="b6ax4al1" style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="g4tp4svg mfclru0v om3e55n1 p8bdhjjv" style="font-family: inherit;
