The Democratic-Fascist State & The Popular Front
As the current ruling capitalist party in the U.S. continues its headlong offensive against the living standards of the domestic proletarian and removes all the guardrails against rampant financial speculation in order to preserve profit rates, the economic anarchy grows. Thus, it will be up to its Democratic Party counterpart to prepare for the future regulatory clean up job to restore capital after the next crash, and likely to conduct the war with China, even if today it must roll up its sleeves for its classic dirty work of corrupting the stirring proletarian masses with the noxious populist democratic ideology and inter-class activism in order to secure its return to power and instill a renewed patriotic discipline upon the working masses under the familiar slogan of defense of democracy. As the Democrats work to build a popular front of opportunist union leaders, social democrats, NGO’s and liberal billionaires, it aims for the apparently noble goals of restoring American democracy from authoritarianism, reasserting the “rule of law” against lawlessness, and preserving an imaginary pure petite-bourgeosis capitalism from oligopoly, which really only means securing and repairing the bourgeois state after the crash so that capital accumulation can continue unabated in its exploitation in its next evolution.
But this can only happen if the workers forget that it was under the Democrats that the most ruthless fascist economic policy has been exerted against the American working class. Recall that it was under Democrats, that the 2022 railroaders strike was snuffed out before it could begin. It was under Democrats that the Federal Reserve organized its most brutal opening attack on the working class in 2022, softening the “labor market” through raising interest rates so as to generate more unemployment and drive down workers wages and bargaining leverage. It was under Democrats that this surplus squeezed out of workers was used to buy more bombs to fuel the proxy wars by U.S. imperial puppets in Ukraine and Gaza. It was under Democrats that Obama earned the title “Deporter in Chief”, and it was under Democrats that an alliance with the opportunist wing of the labor movement was built so that the working class could be shipped off to die in both world wars for U.S. capitalists, under a supposed crusade of “save democracy” and “oppose fascism”, justifications to cover up the true imperialist motivation of the war on all sides.
We can see the problem here, it is not fascism that we must oppose, but capitalism! It is capitalism which creates fascism through its democracy, whenever it is needed! And let’s not forget that this process works the other way around too! The Democrats are the worst enemy of the working class for it is they who are the worst deceivers of the workers as they pose as their only practical protectors against the naked aggression under their colleagues in the Republican party, only to stab the working class in the back over and over again! The workers would be better off under a Republican dictatorship that fully destroyed the Democrats, because they would have no recourse to diffuse the proletarian from the track of revolution without the Democrats! The workers must dump the Democrats, and see that both parties are part of one ruthless capitalist class dictatorship, they are both fascist & even worse they are both democratic! Together they form the insidious and dynamic two party state of the capitalist class dictatorship in the United States, that never has and never will serve the interest of the working class! It is only the International Communist Party that represents the true interests of the working class, not the parties of the enemy classes. It is only under communism, that the working class will find a final conclusion from the present hell of class society.
