Trump administration celebrates the perpetrators of the Wounded Knee Massacre The decision by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is a warning: The lessons of Wounded Knee are not consigned to the past, but must urgently be recalled as a present danger.

10/ Then Hegseth's valorization of the US soldiers who committed the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890--a declaration of what the military must do in the present as much as a glorification of its violent past.

Why has Hegseth summoned military commanders to Washington? The unprecedented assembly of hundreds of generals and admirals to a conference next week is linked to Trump’s plans for dictatorship at home and war abroad.

Trump’s anti-science crusade against autism and the modern revival of eugenics While Trump gave the appearance of a semi-senile idiot, underlying his deranged ravings and those of Kennedy are much darker forces and motives.

6/ On September 22, Trump gave his press conference with RFK Jr, "the most extreme assault on medical science by any president or other elected official in American history."

Trump turns Kirk memorial into campaign for theocratic-fascist dictatorship The event in Glendale, Arizona was staged for the purpose of preparing a fascist assault on the working class.

5/ The memorial meeting for Kirk on September 21 was turned into a fascist rally, with top Trump officials calling for a "spiritual war" and Stephen Miller doing his best Goebbels impression, declaring “The Storm is Coming.”

Trump makes Chicago first target for his Department of Civil War On Saturday morning, US President Donald Trump declared war on the third-largest city in the country, Chicago.

Trump’s dictatorship and the American oligarchy Trump’s efforts to establish a dictatorship in the United States serve the interests of the financial oligarchy, and the target of this dictatorship are the workers whose labor creates the oligarchy’s...

2/ On September 4, Trump met with top oligarchs in the White House, at which Trump pledged to “make it a lot easier” for the assembled billionaires, and the billionaires extolled Trump's “incredible leadership.”

1/ Trump's and Hegseth/Heydrich's statements at the meeting today, denouncing the "enemy within" and calling for US cities to be used as "training grounds" for military violence follows a definite logic. Consider the events of the past month:

“Silence implies consent”: The Democratic Socialists of America and Trump’s coup In the three weeks since Trump deployed the National Guard to occupy Washington D.C., the Democratic Socialists of America and its publications have said virtually nothing.

5/5 Trump’s return underscores the bankruptcy of American capitalism and its ruling class. Opposition must come from the working class, armed with a socialist program to fight war, inequality, and repression. Read the full analysis: www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

4/5 But for all the threats and braggadocio, the Trump administration will be wracked by crisis. The policies of social reaction and imperialist plunder abroad are the response of a ruling class contradictions for which American capitalism has no rational response.

3/5 The past four years of the Biden administration have paved the way for this political debacle. The Democrats under Biden have been singularly focused on escalating global war, from the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The Trump administration and the escalating imperialist war in Ukraine The Democrats’ overriding concern is not Trump’s authoritarian designs but safeguarding the continuity of the Biden administration’s central imperialist objective: the war against Russia in Ukraine.

During the campaign, Trump made occasional warnings about the danger of “World War III,” while stating that he favored some sort of negotiated end to the conflict in Ukraine. This, however, will be among the first demagogic statements that will be jettisoned.
