The Socialist Party has always said that within a limited capitalist democracy, a personal dictatorship and Fascism cannot be established, can not even be established in Germany and Italy again. Trump is an authoritarian president, but he is not a dictator or a fascist, right wing movement is not the same as Fascism. Senators and house of Representatives ministers are moving away from Donald Trump
I think people are mixing up two very different things: collapse and decline.
I’m not saying capitalism will collapse by itself. History shows the opposite. It survives crises by adapting, restructuring, shifting power, and protecting property relations. The Great Depression didn’t end it. The 2008 crisis didn’t end it. Even world wars ended up stabilising capitalism rather than abolishing it.
What we are witnessing with the United States is not collapse but relative decline. US dominance is being challenged, alliances are shifting, trade relations are changing, and global competition is intensifying. But capitalism itself is still functioning: profits are being made, markets continue, and the state still defends the system.
That’s why changing political leaders does not change the fundamentals. The system remains intact.
Capitalism won’t disappear because it’s unjust or unstable. It will only be replaced when the majority consciously decide to replace it.We know that too, and the Socialist Party has published many articles about that and a pamphlet on Rosa Luxemburo has been published
These are the workers that Donald Trump and his gang were saying that they were eating cats, and the pets of the people of Ohio.
The Haitians reactivated several factories and economic sectors that were dying, and several small businesses were reactivated, too
It sounds like the Argentinian workers who were running factories, and then, when they were producing profits, the so-called socialist government( socialism of the XXI century ) passed a law to remove the workers, and the government and the capitalists became partners in crime.
No wonder why argentinian workers and Chileans voted for an anarcho-capitalist and a populist right-wing leader, and before the election, they dominated the congress, and now the presidency and the congress are controlled by the right-wingers
Gabriel Boric also sent troops to pacify the workers, like all the prior governments, like Bachelet, Salvador Allende, Frei and Piñeda
Capitalism overrules Trump and his nationalist agenda
It is going to be like Ronald Reagan, who approved an amnesty for millions of foreign workers after running a nationalistic campaign.
There is a shortage of labor, farmers are going bankrupt, and they are not deporting as many as they were planning to deport.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden were deporting more foreign workers than Trump, even though Trump has a bigger budget.
He does not want Republican leaders to talk about mass deportation; it was one of his campaign issues. The market system always prevails
Jobs are not coming back, and some industries have come back, but they are using robots for most of their operations, and they have kept their operations in foreign countries. They are just trying to avoid high tariffs
There is an article in the New York Times of 3/17/2026 ( a subscription is required ) describing how the government of Trump is changing its view toward emigration because there is a shortage of labor, and its plan of attracting white workers did not work. Some white South Africans who were brought to the USA are moving back
Mexicans are the ones who have the proper skills in this type of job, and the construction industry also has a big shortage of labor. These skills take time to learn.
The market system is hitting them in front of their own faces, and nationalism is not working. They want to have nationalism and expansionism at the same time
Trump issues a 60-day waiver century old jones act. Puerto Rico is under the same act. During the pandemic, many countries were not allowed to ship merchandise to Puerto Rico due to the John Act. It is a form of embargo
