Electoral campaign

Wall Street chooses who will command its businesses, and its attacks on the international working class

A shot grazes Trump's ear... while US imperialism is massacring with Netanyahu tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza

While holding a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump would have received a shot that barely grazed his ear.
A 20-year-old man, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was accused of shooting him in the city of Butler. The bourgeois press reports that the Secret Service had him in their sights for more than 6 minutes before shooting him, even though they saw him armed. First, his shot would have reached the box where Trump was giving a speech.

All leaders, both of the Republican and Democratic Parties, came out to support Trump and condemn the attack.
Biden himself gave a message on the national network repudiating this action and stating that “there is no place for this or any type of violence in the United States”… This statement comes from the US imperialist government that leads the policy of extermination in Gaza and the entire martyred Palestine. Yesterday they invaded and occupied Iraq, murdering a million exploited, and supported al-Assad, together with Putin and even with the Iranian theocracy, to crush by iron and fire a heroic revolution in Syria, while at the same time they promoted bloody counterrevolutionary coups that massacred hundreds of thousands on the planet, to give just a few examples… These cynics are the ones who proclaim “non-violence within their country.”

The big question is who it was and why they attacked Trump. No one can prove that the author they indicate as such -who was immediately murdered- is a “terrorist.” He was a student with a normal life in USA, without any criminal record.

The FBI's first intention was to claim that this was a “terrorist act.” This version lasted just a few hours. The bourgeois imperialist media made it known that the attacker was supposedly an “anti-fascist member,” seeking to hold the struggle organizations of the US American masses responsible. But none of these have ever appealed to the method of individual or “terrorist” action in the US. Rather, these ways are usted by  people that support a murderous state. The blood of George Floyd, murdered by the police in 2020, is still warm.

Milei, the puppet of the US embassy in Argentina, quickly said that it was the “left” that had attacked his partner Trump. A diatribe from someone that is eager to sell his Homeland to imperialism.

All this is implausible. The only possibility left is to affirm that those who really know what happened are not the masses or their organizations, but the establishment, the financial oligarchy of Wall Street, its secret services, the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon or the Republican Party itself. They must search their ranks, among their own. It's just that their people are always the ones who have committed the biggest assassinations against presidents in USA. Search there.

We insist, there is no worker current, no union, no socialist or leftist current that applies a method of individual response to the oppressors in the United States. What's more, the absolute majority of the leadership of these organizations is integrated into the regime, as is the case of the Zionist Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez. They openly support the butcher Biden, who is massacring in the Middle East and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons, besides stealing gas from Ukraine, while Putin occupies that oppressed nation, massacred and plundered a thousand times.

We revolutionary Marxists, as Trotsky said, are against any method of individual attacks against the executioners of the people. There are too many debts that we have to collect; it is not enough to settle accounts with just one of them. It is about defeating the entire class of capitalists and their state of parasites, murderers and looters of the workers and oppressed peoples of the world and famine-causing of USA workers.
What the world working class must not forget is that this murderous state of USA was born from the superexploitation of the black labor movement, taken from the plantations as slaves, who were held without rights for decades; of the death of thousands of Chinese workers who built the US infrastructure; and committing the most sinister terrorist act in history: murdering the heroic Chicago Martyrs on the scaffold for fighting for the interests of the workers.
The response to this was the global general strikes to achieve the 8-hour work day. It was the international unity of workers. That is what the world working class needs to send imperialism to the dustbin of history.

The election campaign has begun in USA: Wall Street chooses who will manage its businesses of the plundering of the planet and the ferocious attack on USA workers

Four years ago the black labor movement revolted and dragged the masses to clash against the Trump government, which with its murderous police killed George Floyd and with its white supremacists did much more than shoot in the ear to the exploited blacks, Mexicans, etc.
That great fight was diverted with the trap of voting and supporting the “lesser evil”, Mr. Biden, who was the one who really applied the worst hunger and attack plans on the US working class and promoted cruel massacres in the world.

At the time of these elections, the working class is tightening its muscles, it has set up new and renewed unions such as the UAW in the automotive industry, and pro-Palestinian students rise up, like yesterday in Vietnam, against the US massacre and its partner Netanyahu in Gaza. Meanwhile, the “siren songs” of Biden and his band of Zionist acolytes, can control less and less of the youth who have already rebelled and  opened a new front of the Palestinian national struggle in the streets of Harlem and New York.
Here are the greatest allies of the workers and oppressed peoples in the planet. They do represent us in the heart of the imperialist beast and are opening the perspective that would save the entire civilization, before barbarism and war take over the entire planet: the beginning of the socialist revolution in the United States. That will be the most important advance point to end this rotten capitalist system of parasites, murderers and genocidists.

Mr. Trump has placed gauze on his scratched ear. We fight for justice for the children, women and workers massacred en masse by Zionism and the US regime in occupied Palestine. They do suffer a major attack every day at the hands of the Zionists and their thousands of bombs financed by USA military-industrial apparatus, an explosive power equivalent to the atomic bombs dropped by USA on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of the World War II.

When at the end of the 19th century, USA massacred the Chicago Martyrs, no imperialist bourgeois gave them their condolences. But they have been a banner of struggle for the working class for almost a century and a half. Do not ask us for condolences for their executioners. Let them investigate among themselves, because the culprits are there.
For the working class to live, it is the whole imperialism that must die!
