“The failure of the Democratic Party to respond to the needs of the working class led to the victory of Donald Trump in the 2024 election. For the last year, the Biden-Harris administration has embraced the political program of the right and prioritized support for Israel’s genocidal assault against the people of Gaza while stagnating wages and soaring prices have created vast hardship and suffering for working class and poor people in the United States…
The Trump administration’s program is nothing short of a declaration of war against the working class. The so-called MAGA movement is part of a larger, global effort by the far-right to use racism and xenophobia to divide the working class. His focused attacks on immigrant workers are designed to conceal a billionaire’s agenda to wipe out the social and economic reforms that were the result of the struggles of the labor movement, the civil rights movement, women, the LGBTQ community, and the growing movement to protect the environment and save the planet. The unfettered rule of capitalist corporations is the real agenda. It is urgent that a new mass movement be built in defense of people’s political, economic, and social rights. At the same time, the Party for Socialism and Liberation believes that it is critical to build a mass, nationwide socialist movement to address the real problem, the capitalist system, which is unable to meet the needs of people and is addicted to militarism and war.”
