The events of January 6, which took place at the Capitol Building, has been variously referred to as a ”riot”, the ”Trump insurrection”, an ”act of domestic terrorism”, a ”Day of Reckoning”, an ”attempted coup”, an ”act of treason”, a ”mob of anarchists”, ”thugs and punks engaged in disgraceful violence”. By whatever name it goes by, it has the ruling class, the capitalists, the bourgeois, deeply worried. With good reason, I might add.
It is clear from the videos that most of those protesters were Caucasian working people, none of whom appeared to be terribly young. As that is the case, it follows that the revolutionary motion is now very broad and deep. It is no longer confined to minorities, young people and women. The vast majority of working people have now been swept up in the revolution. Indeed, an armed insurrection is imminent.
The protester who had the audacity to sit in the chair of the Speaker of the House left the Speaker a message: We Will Not Back Down! That protester was not joking. It is quite possible that the Day of Reckoning was the opening salvo of this, the Second American Revolution.
There are unconfirmed reports that one of the closest relatives of Donald Trump has issued a statement: ”Many of us will return on January 19, carrying our weapons in support of our nations resolve, to which the world will never forget. We will come in numbers that no standing army or police agency can match.”
Those are very strong words. If true, the individual who gave voice to them, could face charges of sedition or even treason. It stands to reason that he is supremely confident, possibly at the head of a vast army. We can only assume that the reference to ”return on January 19” is a threat to return to the Capital, on the eve of the inauguration, this time with weapons, and take over the government. In this way, they will make sure that Biden is not sworn in as president. Trump will continue to remain in charge, possibly as the self proclaimed president or any other title he may choose to give himself.
True or not, many people are taking this statement very seriously. A highly respected journalist, a producer of documentaries, one who is considered to be ultra liberal, says that there is, on the internet, a ”call for an armed march on Washington.” Further, that same call is for the ”patriots to march on all state capitals and take back the country, on inauguration week.”
The journalist went on to say that the ”terrorist attack is not over”. He is convinced that Trump was behind the ”insurrection”, and that it was well planned. He maintains that for this reason, security was ”scaled down”, that members of the security service ”helped the mob”, showed them the location of the various offices, which were well hidden. It also helps to explain the slow response of the other police agencies.
It follows that this ”Day of Reckoning” was merely a ”dress rehearsal”, a probing offensive, on the part of the extreme Right wing, in preparation for the main offensive, on the week of the inauguration. This is not to suggest that Trump carefully planned this out, as he is seventeen times too stupid. It is far more likely that someone, a far more devious and cunning someone, came up with this plot, and left nothing to chance. Hence the ”dress rehearsal”.
As the capitalists are aware of the plot of one of their own to seize power, they have taken steps to prevent this. They closed down the ”right wing alternative social media platform” that Trump has been using to plot his seizure of power. As if that is about to do a world of good!
This could well set off the Second American Revolution, as no doubt Americans are not about to put up with such a coup. It may well mean full scale civil war, which no one wants. The rank and file followers of Trump are not the enemy. They have merely been misled.
Most Americans are familiar with people of the ”old west”, such as Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Cole Younger and Wes Hardin. Later, during the Great Depression, such people as Machine Gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson, Dutch Schultz, Scarface Al Capone, Ma Barker and Bonnie Parker became household names. More recently, Teflon Don John Gotti and Sammy the Bull Gravano distinguished themselves. All of these people had one thing in common: They were leaders! Countless people followed them, to prison, to the gallows and to the grave.
This is to drive home the point that Trump is a leader! Countless people are following him, onto a trail of death and destruction!
This is my way of appealing to fellow conscious people, intellectuals who are aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Time to get active! The only way to stop that maniac is with working class leaders, those who can give the proper proletarian leadership. That means, first and foremost, a Communist Party, Dictatorship Of the Proletariat.
By all means, create such a Party and come out with literature for the less advanced members of the working class. Raise their level of consciousness. Write in a very popular manner, using metaphors with which working people are aware. Put aside your prejudice against professional sports -I feel your pain!- and use expressions with which such workers are familiar. These could include such terms as ”strike out”, ”home run”, ”grand slam”, ”hit one out of the park” and ”hat trick”, among others. The workers who support Trump are not the enemy! They have merely been misled. They need your leadership.
