I have read all those articles; I just published a few of them. I could have published more of them at the proper time. This thread is more about Donald Trump’s presidency than anything else
I know that Trump is not a dictator, and he is not a fascist either, and I know that in advanced developed capitalist countries with limited bourgeois democracy, a personal dictatorship can not be established
I know that the WSWS is a Trotskyist organisation, but they cover news that the SPGB has not published yet, and I know that the DSA is a reformist organisation that is infiltrating some of its members within the Democratic Party to become representatives, senators, mayors, or governors, and the WSWS is running their own independent campaign too
Propaganda against socialism in the USA has existed for several decades, and the scare against communism has existed before the emergence of the soviet union, and it has been totally distorted by the right-wingers and the left-wingers. During the campaign of McCarthy, several members of the CPUSA were sent to prisons, others were executed, and most of them were innocent
With the propaganda made by some left-wingers like Bernie Sanders and Mamdani, the concept of socialism ( a social democrat view ) has been spread among a few men and women within the American youth
More radical than Mamdami has been elected as president in Latin America, including Salvador Allende, Boric, Bosh ( founder of a ‘Marxist’ political party, and studied Marx works ), and Hugo Chavez ( who read several works of Marx, Lenin and Trotsky ) and Fidel Castro, and they were forced to follow the pull of the market system.
At present, a former member of the Communist Party of Chile is running as president, and she obtained about 30% of the votes against a right-winger. Puerto Rico, which is a territory of the USA, formed a leftist coalition during the last election, and they obtained a second place.
Most of the supporters of Mamdami are Latin American workers and especially Puerto Ricans, who are the same supporters of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Cortez who is another member of the DSA and will probably run as senator or for the USA presidency
He is not new; he is something new and extraordinary for the American workers
Daniel DeLeon ( SLP of America ) ran for president several times. The CPV is saying that he was born and grew up in Venezuela
Make Argentina Crash Again: On Milei’s Neoliberal Experiment

Europe’s hysterical war propaganda is not driven by any real military threat facing Europe but by the imperialist interests and anti-democratic political agenda of European capitalism. The European Union has more than three times Russia’s population of 143 million and more than seven times its economy of approximately US$2 trillion. Russian forces have neither the capacity nor the intention to conquer Europe.
By waging the Ukraine war, the European powers hope to enforce both their commercial and military interests in Eurasia, and—inextricably bound up with this—an ultra-reactionary political climate at home. Fully 89 per cent of Western Europeans opposed sending troops to Ukraine, and there was explosive social anger at pension cuts and other austerity measures used to fund the war. Yet the war proceeded, plunging US and European governments ever deeper into debt, and working-class opposition to war was politically suppressed.
” You’ve chosen TM’s favourite (cracked) record there.”
Just wait until after Geneva tomorrow. They’ll get at Trump, and the weapons will keep flowing into Ukraine.

The European powers also want a piece of the fruitcake, like the USA and the Russian capitalist class. There’s no goring among oxen. The USA already lost this proxy war, and on Sunday, Russia attacked Ukraine again
US banks shelve $20 billion bailout plan for Argentina. They can only provide a $ 5 billion short-term loan, which is not even enough for several Parrilladas and Malbecs. Donald Trump made a lot of noise, but his promises failed, and workers voted for Milei Congress again, and despite that, his approval was very low. Ironically, besides being a debtor, it is also a creditor; Cuba, Guyana, and Guinea owe Argentina more than 3 billion dollars, which have not been paid
A reformist is not a threat to capitalism
‘I’ll be cheering for him’: Takeaways from Trump and Mamdani’s surprisingly cordial meeting
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgqd42gl0qo
US President Donald Trump met New York City’s newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani at the White House in what was billed as the political showdown of the year – but instead became a praise fest.
In his election victory speech, the self-described Democratic socialist mayor called Trump a “despot.”
And before Friday’s meeting, the president’s spokeswoman had billed Mamdani’s visit as a “communist coming to the White House”.But standing side-by-side in the Oval Office, the two men struck a surprisingly conciliatory tone.
Over and over, both men emphasised their shared interest in addressing New York City’s affordability crisis. They smiled often, and Trump even appeared amused as reporters asked him about the political attacks Mamdani had fired his way.The tone of the meeting appeared to strike political observers off guard, but it offered a signal that both men understand that tackling the affordability crisis is critical to their political success.
Whether the truce will last once Mamdani takes office on 1 January remains to be seen.
Until then, “I’ll be cheering for him,” Trump said.

“I feel very confident that he can do a very good job,” Trump said of Mamdani after their White House meeting. “I think he is going to surprise some conservative people, actually.”Asked by another reporter if he was standing next to a “jihadist”—as Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) called Mamdani over his support for Palestinian liberation and opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza—Trump said, “No… I met with a man who is a very rational person.”

Joe Biden supported a Jihadist to overthrow the government of Syria, and was welcomed at the white house by Dondla Trump , and Obama supported several of them too. The Taliban were called the freedom fightersPutin says U.S. plan for Ukraine could form the basis for a final peace settlement

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday cautiously welcomed a U.S. proposal to end Moscow’s nearly four-year war in Ukraine, saying it “could form the basis of a final peace settlement.”
Putin said Moscow had received the plan, which he called “a new version” and “a modernized plan,” which he said “could form the basis for a final peace settlement.”
“But this text has not been discussed with us in any substantive way, and I can guess why,” Putin said in Moscow. “The U.S. administration has so far been unable to secure the consent of the Ukrainian side. Ukraine is against it. Apparently, Ukraine and its European allies are still under illusions and the dream of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield.”
Any agreements between capitalists can be rejected and violated by the capitalists. Not worth the paper. The Apaches had the correct view when they said: We signed hundreds of treaties and all of them were violated, and they kept our lands
The peace plan for Ukraine. In some way, this is what Russia wanted since the very beginning.
They did not want NATO troops near their borders, and they want to have access to the seas for the Naval fleet, and they are going to keep the best territory with access to minerals, and the European powers are out of the peace plan.
This is a deal drafted between Russia and the USA
The dead are already dead, and the capitalists are going to enjoy their money, and all of them will continue exploiting the working class
More than 15 trillion dollars in natural resources in Ukraine is a big wallet for the USA and Russian capitalists. They are not going to blow themselves up when they can negotiate the repartition of the territory; therefore, a peace accord is a much better solution for them.
The USA weapons industry is also in crisis, and several countries around the world are buying weapons from China, Europe and Russia.
Colombia stopped buying weapons from the USA and Israel, and now the supplier is Sweden, and other countries from Latin America are going to follow the same path
This is one military industry that is in crisis, and the Secretary of Defence has said that they can not find manpower to build more warships
https://research.contrary.com/deep-dive/americas-shipbuilding-crisis.
The capitalists have been spying on each other for many years, and they have been violating their own national borders and sovereignty for many years.
Right now, the US has sent warships to the Caribbean and the Pacific near the international limit of Venezuela and Colombia, and they are conducting subversive internal operations in Venezuela, but it is only a scare tactic because they know that a war in Latin America might have drastic consequences, and they might be defeated again, like in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Socialist Party has written and published many articles and pamphlets about wars and about this particular war in Eastern Europe. The conditions for a World War, or European, do not exist at present.
Western countries have been forced to increase their military spending by cutting the benefits of European workers, and there is great resistance against that. The European workers are not willing to sacrifice their standard of living for a capitalist confrontation.
The European capitalist class does not want a rebellion in their own countries, and the European workers have more class consciousness than the American working class; they are also resisting against the war, and even more, they voted for Trump because he promised to end the Ukraine war.
Russia is winning this war, but it has taken them several years to obtain the territories that they have conquered now, and they have used all kinds of military resources.
The USA is not going to authorise the use of long-range missiles toward Russia because it is a provocation of war, and Russia also has long-range missiles and nuclear bombs, and the US is not in economic conditions to carry on a long war either, and young people are not willing to fight another war.
It was Lenin and the Bolsheviks who created the division between socialism and communism, and their followers continue spreading the same distortions.
Soviet leaders never claimed that they were living under a communist society.
The newly elected mayor of New York has said that he is a democratic socialist, but he is not a communist; he must be reading comic books, or the collected works of Tom and Jerry
The billionaires of the so-called Chinese Communist Party are competing with the US billionaires, and some rancid Maoists are still claiming that China is a socialist society, and it was not a socialist society during the time of Mao Zedong either.
For Vladimir Lenin, state capitalism was a step toward socialism, and he also considered that it was beneficial for the working class. He also adopted Leon Trotsky’s concept of the Permanent Revolution
In our time, anything is called far left ( similar to the concept of Fascism and Neoliberalism ), and it comes from the bourgeoisie class, which does not know the meaning of left and far left, and they do not know the difference between left and socialism/communism.
Left means reformism, and the Leninists and social democrats are a reformist movement; and we do not make an alliance with the left and their so-called anti-imperialist fronts.
The socialist party is not part of the left or the far left, and one of the basic problems of the socialist party has been that it is not a reformist organisation, although we support certain reforms that benefit the working class.
The socialist party support the three basic principles of Marxism, but it has made further contributions
to the socialist principles, and without Marx and Engels, it could have created its own concept of socialism.Some members of the Socialist Party cite publications and articles published by the leftist organisation to reinforce its principles. Even more, several members of the socialist party are publishing documents are articles in other leftist organisations.
The socialist party has had open debate with leftist and right-wing organisations and individuals ( including fascists ), and the leftists do not do that; therefore, those debates have not affected the basic principles of the socialist party.
The leftist groups will never have debates with fascists; on the contrary, both would have had violent confrontations.
Publishing articles and links from other groups does not turn us into a leftist organisation.
We can not become hermits and live isolated from the world’s reality.
The Socialist Standard publishes book reviews about books published by different types of individuals and organisations, and they are used to reinforce our principles or to clarify the conception written by the writers, and those reviews are very useful.
