Bourgeois democracy is no guarantee against fascist or authoritarian dictatorships from taking power. The Nazis came to power in Germany under a bourgeois democratic system and Trump (as did Bush) came to power against the democratic will of the majority of the people under a constitution designed to thwart the majority vote in the interests of the ruling class. We need to build a working class led people's majority government and call a convention to write a people's constitution that will prevent the possibility of anti-democratic forces taking power. The original slaveholder's constitution for all its amendments failed to prevent the Civil War (i.e., to peacefully bring about the end of slavery) and it cannot protect the vast majority of the American people from being exploited and used by the major corporations and banks who profit from their sufferings and the foreign wars and military conflicts they incite to make their super profits. Hungary is a miniature version of what awaits us under continuing Republican and/or the right-wing corporate faction of the Democratic Party rule.
