It is a day of rejoicing for countless Americans. Their dreams have come to pass. Their prayers have been answered. Donald Trump has been impeached. He has been placed on trial by the Senate. Hallelujah! Their cup runneth over! This is indeed a day which will go down in history. They got precisely what they wanted.
The only fly in the ointment is that Donald Trump has been completely vindicated. The Senate has ruled that he has not committed any crime which warrants removal from office. He will continue to be president and break any and all laws, as he sees fit. The only political body with the constitutional power to reign in the president, the Senate, has now officially abdicated that power. Donald Trump has now been granted the power of emperor.
Practically the whole country was watching the proceedings, that of first impeaching the president, as an act of Congress, followed by the farce of a trial by the Senate. It came as no great surprise to the vast majority of working people that the Senate merely acquitted him. Almost all members of the working class are well aware, from their own bitter experience, that the ”super rich”, as they refer to them, can do almost anything they want.
Perhaps the only people who were surprised and disappointed by the outcome were the members of the middle class, the petty bourgeois.These misguided souls, starry eyed optimists one and all, actually thought that it was possible to ”change the system from within”. They actually thought that their democratically leaders would take their oath seriously. As far as those politicians are concerned, their oath, that of ”protecting and defending the constitution”, is merely a bit of idle verbiage. Their loyalty lies with the class of people whom are commonly referred to as the super rich, and in fact are the monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie. It may help to think of the bourgeoisie as the lords and masters of the politicians, because that is precisely what they are.
It may be objected that the members of the House of Representatives, the Congress, voted to impeach the president, against the wishes of the bourgeoisie. That is certainly true, but only because of the extreme pressure ”from below”, which is to say as a result of the movement of the members of the public, mainly the working class. A great many members of the middle class were also involved in that movement, or at least those who still maintain the petty bourgeois mentality. The middle class has been all but wiped out, but their mentality extends to the working class.
The ”trial” of Trump was closely watched by countless people, if only for its entertainment value. A great many people were openly laughing, amused by the fact that for possibly the first and only time in history, a trial was being conducted without the testimony of witnesses or the presentation of evidence.
In essence, the ”trial” consisted of nothing more than closing arguments. For hour after boring hour, the attorneys for the ”prosecution”, the lawyers whom had been sent by the Congress, stated countless times that Trump should be removed from office, because he broke the law. This was followed by an equally boring series of monologues by attorneys for the defence, those who argued that he should be acquitted. In essence, they spent numerous hours stating that which Richard Nixon stated quite clearly many years ago: ”When the president of the United States breaks the law, it is not a crime.”
Without doubt, Donald Trump most emphatically agrees with that statement. Equally without doubt, the Senate is also in agreement.
This is not to say that the trial was pointless. Precisely the opposite. The trial served as a fine educational tool for the members of the public, especially for the idealistic members of the public, including the optimistic members of the middle class. Many of those well meaning people were of the opinion that the democratic process could be used to remove Trump from office. This is possible, but only in theory.
In fact, the ruling class, the bourgeoisie, has established a state apparatus which carefully protects the members of the bourgeoisie. Trump is a member of that class, and as such, is fully defended.
The day before his acquittal, by the Senate, Trump gave a State of the Union address to both houses of Congress, by which is meant the House of Representatives and the Senate. He first gave a written copy of his speech to the President of the Senate, which is of course the Vice President, Mike Pence, and to the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. She in turn offered to shake his hand, in a gesture of respect and friendship, which Trump ignored. After he gave his speech, she very publicly tore up that paper copy of his speech.
If nothing else, this serves to drive home the point that the country is deeply divided. This is not to say that the Democratic Party serves the ”little guy”, the working people, while the Republican Party serves the ”super rich”, the monopoly capitalists. On the contrary, both parties serve the same class, the bourgeoisie. It just means that the ruling class, the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided, unsure just how to continue to rule.
They are afraid that Trump will lead the country to ruin, along with their class. They are determined to stop him, hence the creation of the ”resistance”, an organization which I refer to as the White House Resistance. They are also afraid that any move they make against Trump could trigger a full scale revolution, while not to make such a move could also trigger a full scale revolution. This is commonly referred to as ”being caught between a rock and a hard place”.
Either way, it is clear that the revolutionary motion is becoming ever stronger. It is also clear that the revolution is being led by American women, many of whom have been the victims of the worst sort of sexual and physical abuse. It is very likely that their bitterness and hatred is growing.
No doubt these women have been closely following other developments in the news, especially the arrest of a convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. He was in turn charged with several very serious charges of a sexual nature, which included procuring under age girls for his rich friends. In popular jargon, he was a pimp, selling children to the members of the bourgeoisie. Various names of powerful people have been mentioned, including that of the president, Donald Trump, and the Attorney General. No one was terribly surprised when Epstein was found dead in his prison cell. The official cause of death was determined to be suicide, but this has been disputed by other medical professionals.
It is very likely that the victims of Epstein number in the hundreds, if not the thousands, as he trafficked in young girls for many years. Each and every one of those girls feels cheated, deprived of justice, as their abuser, their pimp, is now dead. But then a great many of their clients, the people to whom Epstein sold those girls, are still alive. The last thing those rich and powerful people want is for this to be made public. In legal jargon, this is considered to be a strong motive for murder.
If nothing else, recent events should drive home the point, at least to class conscious people, that we live under the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The one and only alternative to this is the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat. The bourgeoisie can and must be overthrown and crushed under the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat. This calls for revolution, as the bourgeoisie are completely reactionary, determined to maintain their wealth and power. As long as the bourgeoisie remain in power, the exploitation of the working class will continue. Young girls, children, will continue to be sold to the highest bidder and raped. Those responsible for these terrible crimes will continue to be protected by the authorities.
To the victims of those pedophiles, as well as the victims of countless other predators, I can only suggest that you transform your rage and bitterness into determination. Focus on the class of people responsible for your degradation, and not merely one person. Prepare for the approaching revolution. Study the most essential works of Marx and Lenin. Carry the awareness of classes to the working class. Join the two parties, Democratic and Republican, as card carrying members. As well, encourage your family and friends to also join the two parties. Run for any and all political offices, on behalf of both parties. Organize demonstrations to oppose Trump and other members of the bourgeoisie, at any and all opportunities. Disrupt their social functions. Give them no peace. Carry signs that call for the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat. Bear in mind that the more famous the celebrity, the more attentively the members of the public listen to them.
It is best to remember that it is the party bosses who determine the candidate to run for any and all political office. It stands to reason that if enough Americans join the two parties, then both parties can choose to support Sanders for president. If nothing else, that should save a great fortune on campaign expenses.
Of course the bourgeoisie will not allow Washington to be flooded with Leftist people, certainly not Marxists, Communists. They will respond by changing their method of rule, and in the process, become more exposed.
The most important thing now is to prepare for the revolution. The more class conscious the working people are, the more smoothly will be the transformation to the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat. For now, our posters and banners should read:
Workers of the World, Unite!
Scientific Socialism!
Dictatorship Of the Proletariat1
