As I write this, it is late May, 2026. The Republican Party, led by President Donald Trump, has a majority in both Houses of Congress, which is to say the House of Representatives, and the Senate. Yet the Senate recently passed a bill, which blocks the authority of Trump, to further prosecute the illegal war in the Middle East. Even though that war involves numerous countries, including Israel, Lebanon and various countries which are home to American military bases, the mainstream press persists in referring to it as the ‘’War with Iran’’.
As is standard procedure, that particular bill was then sent to the House of Representatives, as such a bill has to be passed by both Houses of Congress, before being sent to the President. At that point, the President has the option of either signing the bill into law, or vetoing the bill. Should he choose to veto the bill, then his veto can be overridden, by a two thirds vote of both Houses of Congress. At that point, the bill becomes law.
The House has yet to take a vote on that bill, for the very fine reason that the Speaker of the House, he who is commonly referred to as ‘’MAGA’’ Mike Johnson, ‘’dissolved’’ the House of Representatives, at least until some time in June. All Members of the House have been ‘’sent home’’, until a future date, ‘’yet to be determined’’.
The Speaker of the House is referred to as ‘’MAGA’’, for a reason. MAGA, or Make America Great Again, is the slogan of Donald Trump. And rest assured, Mike Johnson is one of the most ardent supporters of Donald Trump. Or to phrase it in more popular terms, he is widely considered to be ‘’in the pocket’’ of Donald Trump. He has well earned the nickname of ‘’MAGA’’!
This is not to say that Mike Johnson is completely stupid, as he most certainly is not. On the contrary, he is smart enough to realize that a vote on that bill would almost certainly pass the House, and be sent to President Trump. He is equally well aware that Trump would almost certainly veto the bill, which could well trigger another vote, in an effort to override that veto, perish forbid!
Even though such an ‘’override vote’’ would likely fail, the very fact of the vote taking place, would serve to ‘’embarrass’’ Donald Trump. He would stand more exposed! And rest assured, Donald Trump is not a man who embraces exposure! Praise and flattery are the ‘’way to his heart’’! His closest advisors, sycophants one and all, belly crawling boot lickers, can testify to that fact!
The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is supremely well aware of this. He is equally well aware of the fact that any exposure of the true nature of Trump, can lead to most unpleasant consequences. The ‘’Wrath of Trump’’! Even if Johnson is not personally responsible, Trump can still be counted upon to ‘’throw him under the bus’’, if only ‘’because he can’’!
There is a reason that the vote on this bill, which limits the power of Trump to prosecute the war in the Middle East, passed the Senate, and will very likely pass in the House. It came about as a result of that which is commonly referred to as ‘’public pressure’’, which is to say the pressure, from the working people, against the Middle Eastern War. This movement, against the war, is part of a revolutionary movement against the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the imperialists, technically referred to as the bourgeoisie. It is certain to break out into open class warfare, a full scale Revolution, a Second American Revolution, very soon.
I have come to this conclusion, as I am a Scientific Socialist, a follower of Marx and Lenin, a true Communist. I also write in a popular manner, as I am mainly focused upon the common people, by whom I mean workers and family farmers, and especially the hourly employees, the proletariat. After all, it is the proletariat which is the class of people which is destined to overthrow the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the imperialists, the bourgeoisie.
Yet even after the Revolution, classes will continue to exist. The existing state apparatus, which has been set up by the bourgeoisie, in order to crush the ‘’lower classes’’, will be smashed, at the time of the Revolution, and replaced with a different state apparatus. This new state apparatus is referred to as Soviet Power and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. It is necessary to crush the former ruling class of monopoly capitalists, as they make every effort, after the Revolution, to ‘’restore their paradise lost’’.
This is well known to all Scientific Socialists, true Communists, as we carefully study the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Political science is just that, a science, and must be pursued as a science. The experience of previous revolutions must be evaluated. We must learn from that experience, the failures as well as the successes. In this way, we are determined to avoid the mistakes of previous well meaning revolutionaries.
The two formerly socialist countries of the Soviet Union and China, provide us with instructive examples. In each case, the ruling classes of both countries were first overthrown, as the revolutionaries followed the correct procedures of Marx and Lenin. Yet the capitalists were able to return to power, as the leaders of the common people, fine Scientific Socialists, made certain mistakes. We have identified the mistakes of both Stalin and Mao, and are determined not to repeat those mistakes. As I have covered that extensively, in previous articles, there is no need to repeat it here.
That which is not so well known, is that bourgeois intellectuals also study those same Scientific Socialist Revolutionary theories, but for an entirely different reason. They are focused on determining the best way to distort those theories. These distortions, also known as revisions, are then taught in all Universities, to students who are, for the most part, members of that same class. Those students are then expected to carry those revisions into the groups leading the revolutionary movement, in an attempt to divert that movement, onto some harmless path of paltry reforms.
There is a point to that rather lengthy introduction. For once, I am focused on a different class, that of the petty bourgeois, and in particular, the ‘’upper stratum’’ of the ‘’middle class’’. As I just mentioned, the intellectuals of that class are supremely well aware of the Scientific Socialist Revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin.
To those bourgeois intellectuals, may I suggest a ‘’reality check’’. The finest of the American military analysts are admitting that Iran is winning the Middle East War. The American Empire is collapsing. The national debt is approaching forty trillion dollars, and if Trump has his way, will sky rocket. The revolutionary movement in the country is reaching a fever pitch, and will break out into open rebellion at any time. Now is not the time to ‘’straddle the fence’’. The ‘’writing is on the wall’’. Now is the time to ‘’cut your losses’’, before you lose everything. Feel free to face the fact that Marx and Lenin were correct. So ‘’jump on the bandwagon’’, join the working people taking part in this, the Second American Revolution. You will not be disappointed.
Still not convinced? Perhaps you still have ‘’visions of joining the ranks of the bourgeoisie’’, ‘’dancing in your heads’’? That is not about to happen! Those who are worth hundreds of billions have ‘’laid down the law’’. They are about to set up an Oligarchy, a select few people, so that the ‘’books are closed’’.
There are only five businesses that are ‘’Too Big To Fail’’. All other businesses, including General Electric and General Motors, are ‘’Too Small To Succeed’’. The owners of those companies, including your own, are about to face bankruptcy, to be thrust into the ranks of the working class.
That is ‘’one side of the coin’’, so to speak. The flip side of the coin is that you have a bright future, should you choose to work in the service of the proletariat. Allow me to point out to you, that which you are already well aware, but refuse to face. Of course, I am referring to a passage from the Communist Manifesto, written by Marx and Engels, which sums up our current situation:
‘’Finally, in times when the class struggle nears the decisive hour, the process of dissolution going on within the ruling class, in fact within the whole range of old society, assumes such a violent, glaring character, that a small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the class that holds the future in its hands. Just as, therefore, at an earlier period, a section of the nobility went over to the bourgeoisie, so now a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole .’’
Without doubt, the ‘’class struggle’’ is near the ‘’decisive hour’’. The ‘’ruling class’’ of bourgeoisie is deeply divided, with one section determined to establish the rule of an Oligarchy, while another section, led by Trump, is equally determined to set him up as Emperor. Now it is time for a ‘’portion of the bourgeoisie’’ to ‘’go over to the proletariat’’, and that ‘’portion’’ is yourselves, the ‘’bourgeois ideologists’’, as you have succeeded in ‘’raising yourselves theoretically’’ to ‘’comprehending’’ the ‘’historical movement as a whole’’.
The working class, the proletariat, must be made aware of themselves, as a class, with their own class interests. You are in a unique position to raise their level of awareness. Feel free to explain to them the method of deception the capitalists use, in order to maintain their rule.
Now is the time to prepare for the Insurrection. Councils, otherwise known as Soviets, must be built and strengthened. These Councils assist the working people in various ways, both legal and illegal. This assistance comes in the form of food for the hungry, clothes and shelter for the homeless and needy, and possible relocation for battered women, among other things.
As well, in preparation for the Insurrection, workers are being armed, equipped and trained. Weapons can include such items as sling shots, paint ball guns and simple spears, as well as firearms. As I have covered this in previous articles, there is no need to repeat it here.
Certain of the more advanced workers can be given the task of locating the huge animals I have identified. Those are the same animals which the bourgeois scientists claim be be extinct. The directions for locating those animals I have earlier documented. It is not difficult, but it is dangerous. To take part in a major scientific break through will serve to raise the morale and confidence of the working class, while at the same time serving to expose the lies and hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie.
The most advanced workers must be encouraged to assume leadership roles in various working class organizations, especially trade unions. As well, they should join both mainstream political parties, as card carrying members, along with their families and friends. In this way, they can run for political office, as members of both parties, possibly against themselves. Their political platform can include: increases in the pensions, tax free; free medical, dental, hearing and vision; free education; abolish all student loans; increase the minimum wage; defend the right to bear arms; make the rich pay their fair share. This is certain to secure the support of countless working people, everyone from seniors to students. What is more, it is completely legal. I have covered this in previous articles.
Such activity will serve as valuable training, in preparation for leadership roles they will have to assume, after the Revolution, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
On the ‘’legal front’’, so to speak, may I suggest hiring an attorney, an expert in Constitutional law, or better yet a group of such attorneys, to challenge the 2024 Presidential Election, on the grounds that it did not follow the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution. As I have covered this in previous articles, there is no need to repeat it here. Suffice it to say that Trump is a fraudulent President, and Vance is a fraudulent Vice President. A simple ruling to that effect, by the Supreme Court, will result in their removal from office. Even if the Supreme Court refuses to rule on the matter, the level of awareness of the working class will be increased.
As well, there is an urgent need for a true Communist Party, one which calls for Soviet Power and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, the one and only true form of Scientific Socialism. After all, working people need leaders, and that leadership must come from Scientific Socialists. Here too, with your organizational skills, you are in a unique position to take part in the creation of such a Communist Party, Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Bear in mind that both Marx and Lenin were members of the bourgeois intelligentsia. They too, turned their backs on a rather comfortable middle class existence, in order to work in the service of the common people. Feel free to ‘’walk in their footsteps’’. Your previous experience, in the service of the bourgeoisie, will not be held against you. On the contrary, you can use that experience to drive home the point that classes exist, and that the class interests are diametrically opposed. This will help to raise the level of awareness of the proletariat.
In conclusion, the bourgeoisie have made it abundantly clear that they have every intention of destroying your class. Which in no way changes the fact that they expect you to continue to serve them, to the best of your ability. In popular terms, ‘’streets have been named after them’’. Those streets are named ‘’One Way’’.
Without doubt, most middle class intellectuals will continue to serve their ‘’Lords and Masters’’, the bourgeoisie. As the Communist Manifesto makes clear, it is only a ‘’portion’’ of those ideologists who will ‘’make the jump’’. The remainder will ‘’remain faithful’’, much as a lapdog remains faithful.
There is a price to be paid for this loyalty. After the successful Scientific Socialist Revolution, after the existing state apparatus is smashed, and in turn replaced with a state of Soviet Power and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, these loyal lapdogs will join their former masters in remote work camps, performing useful, productive labour, for perhaps the first time in their lives. It may help to think of this as a reward for their years of faithful service. They certainly earned it!
By contrast, as previously mentioned, those who have joined the revolutionary movement, can expect to play a key role in building a new society. Working people do a number of things very well. Running a business is not one of them. Those who attempt this, generally manage to run that business ‘’into the ground’’. We will need people with the proper organizational and management skills. Of course I am referring to you people, middle class intellectuals. You can expect to be placed in key positions of management, and paid accordingly. You can also expect to take pride in your work, with good reason.
For those among you who choose to join the proletariat, the ‘’revolutionary class’’, the ‘’class that holds the future in its hands’’, allow me to express a most heartfelt greeting: ‘’Welcome My Brothers and Sisters, My Comrades’’!
With Most Sincere Scientific Socialist Communist Greetings, Gerald McIsaac
