November 5, 2024. Presidential Election Day in America. A day which will ‘’live in infamy’’, if you will excuse the expression. The day a former president, a multi billionaire, a convicted felon, has once again won the Presidential Election. Donald Trump is now the ‘’President Elect’’, soon to be sworn in as President, on  January 20, 2025. Unless he is stopped!

This little task is perhaps, not as difficult as it first appears. After all, the ‘’Presidential Election’’ is completely fraudulent! Unconstitutional!

Now the 538 Members of the Electoral College are about to be degraded! Each of these Electors is a proud professional, a respected member of the middle class. Yet each is about to be treated as a ‘’common servant’’, forced to ‘’run an errand’’, to cast their ballots for one of the sets of candidates, of one of the two mainstream political parties, for the offices of President and Vice President. In complete violation of Constitutional Law!

Of course I am referring to the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution. That is the Amendment which lays out the procedure to be followed, for all federal elections. There is no Presidential Election! The American voters have nothing to say concerning the election of the President, or the Vice President! That is strictly at the discretion of the Electors, the Members of the Electoral College!

It may be objected that the Twelfth Amendment, and the subsequent Electoral College, is a ‘’remnant of slavery’’, and should be abolished. True! Yet at the moment, it remains part of the Constitution, and must be respected. The Constitution is not a ‘’scrap of paper’’! There is a process to be followed, in order to change the Constitution. 

This is referred to as ‘’democracy’’, and without doubt, the American democratic republic is under attack. 

It is the multi billionaires, the monopoly capitalists, the class of people known as the bourgeoisie, who are responsible for this assault on democracy. Trump just happens to be one of their own. That in no way changes the fact that he is a mere ‘’figure head’’, a ‘’puppet’’. The monopoly capitalist class ‘’call the shots’’, and Trump ‘’dances to their tune’’. 

The polite term for this is ‘’class struggle’’, which is to say the struggle between the bourgeoisie and the other classes, most notably the working class, the proletariat, but also the middle class, the petty bourgeois. A more accurate term is ‘’class warfare’’, as the class struggle is about to break out into open class warfare! The bourgeoisie has just announced that it plans to wipe out the middle class! 

For the benefit of those who are skeptical, bear in mind that all businesses but five, and all banks but seven, are Too Small To Succeed! As these banks and businesses fail, the ‘’small business owners’’ -including the owners of General Motors!- are about to go the way of the dodo bird!

A considerable number of middle class people are already painfully well aware of this, and are making preparations for the approaching ‘’disaster’’. They are buying gold and silver, and hiding these ‘’assets’’, in safe deposit boxes. As if that is about to do a ‘’world of good’’! Mere ‘’stop gap’’ measures!

Allow me to offer a friendly little word of advice, to those worried middle class people. Your fears are well grounded. Your days of a comfortable existence, as members of the middle class, even upper middle class, are ‘’numbered’’. Consider yourselves to be ‘’living on borrowed time’’. Very soon, the stock market will crash, the banks will fail, all small businesses will ‘’follow suit’’, and the country will enter a Second Great Depression.

At that point, your standard of living will ‘’nose dive’’. You will have to abandon your multi million dollar houses and apartments, or ‘’condominiums’’, if you prefer. Their value will drop to negligible. As well, the ‘’used car lots’’ will be cluttered with luxury vehicles, of little value. Other status symbols, such as those ‘’hundred thousand dollar’’ ”high end” wrist watches, will be sold for ‘’next to nothing’’, at the pawn shops. The Auction Houses will be flooded with works of art, so that they will be sold at a fraction of their original value.

You will find yourself poverty stricken, forced into the ranks of the working class, the proletariat.

Under those circumstances, any gold or silver you may have ‘’tucked away’’, will not last for long. It will soon run out. Feel free to consider the alternative. 

That alternative lies in embracing the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Face the fact that the working class is destined to overthrow the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, and crush that class, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. 

Now is the time to join the proletariat, in the war against the bourgeoisie. As they have just declared war on your class, this only makes sense. We have a common enemy. Our main goal now, our ‘’key link in the class struggle’’, is to complete preparations for the approaching Revolution, which includes the Insurrection, and the subsequent Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. 

As I have gone into this, in considerable detail, in other articles, there is no need to repeat it here. Suffice it to say that, with your considerable business skills, you have a bright future under Scientific Socialism, while you have absolutely no future under capitalism.

Part of that preparation, involves immediately supporting your middle class Comrades, the Electors. Let them know that they are not alone. Advise them to take a stand! A principle is involved! Your democracy is under attack! It is their duty to vote for the individuals, of their choice, for the office of President, as well as the office of Vice President. No one has any right to force them to vote otherwise! All state laws, to that effect, must be challenged, and struck down, by the Supreme Court, as Unconstitutional! Those attorneys who are experts on Constitutional Law, can testify to that fact!

Time is not on our side. As yet, we still live under a democratic republic. That could all change in January, as the first thing Trump plans to do, as soon as he is sworn into office, as President, is set himself up as Dictator. Then Project 2025 will ‘’swing into action’’! At that point, all Americans can ‘’Kiss their Democratic Republic Goodbye’’! 

That will make the task, of the democratic forces, far more difficult.

Bear in mind that it is not my intention to scare anyone. I am merely stating the facts. It is the bourgeoisie that has decided to wipe out the middle class. Take them ‘’at their word’’. They are not joking. After all, they do not have a sense of humour.

Having said that, the ‘’other side of the coin’’, so to speak, is the fact that American women, have recently proven themselves to be excellent organizers. They have done it before, on short notice, and now must do it again. It is very likely that they have learned from their mistakes! 

Now the immediate goal is to convince the Electors to vote for the individual for President, of their choice! There is a very reasonable chance that the women can persuade all of the Electors, to do just that! After all, those ladies are not to be under estimated!

If even 270 Electors vote for an individual, other than Trump, then that individual must be sworn in as President! Constitutional Law!

Yet another possibility is to have no one candidate win a majority of 270 Electoral Votes. In that case, as less than 270 Electors voted for Trump, and no other candidate received the required majority, then the Federal Election must, by Constitutional Law, go to the House of Representatives.

Even that could be regarded as a ‘’partial victory’’. If nothing else, it would prove, to the working class, that the multi billionaires, can be beaten! They are not all powerful!

Regardless of the manner in which the Electors vote, the fundamentals will not change. The class of people, known as the bourgeoisie, will remain in power. Further, they will remain determined to wipe out the middle class, ‘’one way or another’’. 

It is reasonable to assume that the leaders of the women’s protest movement, are all middle class. Bear in mind that the bourgeoisie are determined to wipe out your class. Further bear in mind the fact that Trump is merely the figure head. Stopping Trump from becoming President, is merely the first step. It is the class of monopoly capitalists, that has to be overthrown.

The Women’s Protest Movement, against Trump, eight years ago, was most impressive. Yet now we are right back where we started! Half measures!

Apparently, the leaders of that previous Women’s Movement were persuaded to form a corporation. If true, it means that they ‘’sold out’’. It also means that new, more resolute, class conscious women must assume leadership roles. 

I am well aware that it is not right, or fair, to place this burden on American women. All such women ‘’have a full plate’’, and this is the last thing they need. Yet American men have as yet to ‘’rise to the occasion’’, to assume a leadership role, so that this new American Women’s Movement, may serve to motivate them.

Perhaps these modern day American women can take some comfort and inspiration, from their Russian counterparts, of February, 1917. At that time, under the rule of Tsar Nicholas -Nicholas the Bloody!- the ladies of the capital city of Saint Petersburg, cold and hungry, decided they had had enough. Their ‘’menfolk’’ were either dead, or in the army, fighting the war, for the sake of their ‘’Lord and Master’’, the Tsar. 

Those heroic Russian women took to the streets, demanding bread, as their families were starving. The factory workers noticed this, and numerous factories shut down, as the workers joined the protesting women. 

The local police were ordered to ‘’quell the uprising’’, but were unable to do so. The government then sent out the Petrograd Garrison, to restore ‘’law and order’’, but many of the troops wavered, reluctant to open fire on their ‘’countrymen’’, many of whom were women. This same Garrison then proceeded to join the ‘’protesters’’. 

This was the beginning of the Russian Revolution of February, 1917. As the army joined the ‘’protesters’’, it rapidly became a full blown Revolution. Tsar Nicholas was forced to ‘’abdicate the throne’’, within a few days.

It is significant that this Russian February Revolution, was started by women! It was then carried through, first by factory workers, proletarians, and then by the army, as soldiers ‘’switched sides’’. 

The similarities, between Russia of 1917, and America of today, are striking. Countless American men are in the army, at least preparing to fight the wars, for their ‘’Lords and Masters’’, the multi billionaires, in the interests of increasing profits. Other men are busy working two and even three jobs, trying to ‘’make ends meet’’. Hunger is common place. As is addictions and overdoses. Gang violence is the rule, not the exception, with the local police reduced to the level of impotence. Mass shootings are commonplace. Homelessness is wide spread. Those who are able to live in vehicles are considered to be more ‘’fortunate’’. A Revolutionary situation!

Now is not the time for despair! Now is the time to seek inspiration from the heroic Russian women of 1917! They ‘’blazed the trail’’, set the example, which we can all follow. They challenged the authority of the ‘’all powerful’’ Tsar! These few, unarmed women, set out to destroy the Russian Empire, and they succeeded! But only because the workers joined them, followed by the military. 

Now is the time for action. Aside from the immediate goal, of stopping Trump, from being sworn in as President, other duties demand our immediate attention.

Efforts to arm, train and equip members of the working class, led by Councils, in preparation for the approaching Insurrection, must be intensified. That Insurrection may well be forced upon us, sooner than we had anticipated. Trump may well make sure of that! The better prepared we are, the more likely we are to succeed.

The creation of a true Communist Party, Dictatorship of the Proletariat, must also be accelerated. People need leaders! Every effort must be made to raise the level of awareness of the proletariat, to make them aware of themselves as a class, complete with their own class interests, in opposition to that of the monopoly capitalists. That is the role of the Communist Party!

There is a reason that I stress the importance of the proletariat. Because it is the one and only consistently revolutionary class! The other classes tend to vacillate, at best. At worst, they are counter revolutionary, referred to as ‘’Contras’’. 

Bear in mind that both Marx and Lenin were middle class intellectuals. They turned their backs on a comfortable middle class life style, and chose instead, to work in the service of the common people, both workers and family farmers. 

The point is that certain individual members, of the middle class, can and will become dedicated Marxists, Revolutionaries, Communists. Certain others will not. They will remain loyal to the monopoly capitalist class, referred to as Contras. Still others will vacillate, siding with the Revolutionaries one day, but siding with the Contras the next, hoping for a return to the ‘’good old days’’. Even though those days are gone, never to return!

Now it is up to certain members of the middle class, those who are class conscious intellectuals, to bring the awareness of classes, and the conflict between the classes, to the working class, the proletariat. This is necessary, as the conditions of life, of the working class, do not lead to the awareness of themselves, as a class. 

This awareness has to come from an outside source, and that source is middle class intellectuals. 

As I have mentioned numerous times before, it is only in University that the Revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin are taught, and then only with a view to distorting those theories. Further, as it is mainly only members of the middle class, who can attend University, it is mainly only middle class people, who are aware of those theories.

Our support, of the Electors, will certainly assist in raising the level of awareness of the proletariat. The ‘’Presidential Election’’, and especially the ‘’Election of Trump’’, has caught the attention of the vast majority of people. In the process of exposing the lies and deception, by the bourgeoisie, involved in this fraudulent election, the working people will become more class conscious. 

By all means, feel free to flood social media, with class content, as well as Marxist slogans, in order to ‘’spread the word’’:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Scientific Socialism!

There are 538 Members of the Electoral College. Each and every Member of that Electoral College is appointed by the fifty states, as well as the District of Columbia. As the name implies, it is the  duty of these Electors to elect the President, as well as the Vice President, of the United States. A majority of 270  votes is required to secure either office. 

It is these few Electors, and only these Electors, who have been entrusted with the election of the next President, and of the next Vice President. That responsibility is not to be taken lightly. 

Yet certain journalists, including those who consider themselves to be Leftist, are openly scoffing at the Electoral College. They are referring to it as ‘’idiotic’’, and ‘’farcical’’. Such is hardly the case. On the contrary, it is the law. Constitutional Law!

I am of course referring to the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, which was enacted into law, in 1804. It was the slave owners who were responsible for the creation of  the Electoral College, as a means of voting in one of their own, as President. His name was Thomas Jefferson. 

For that reason, we can say that the Electoral College is a remnant of slavery! Yet it remains in effect! We can further say that there are a great many people in Washington, including all elected federal politicians, all Members of the House of Representatives, all Members of the Senate, who have taken an oath, to ‘’Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution’’! 

Those same people do not have the right to ‘’pick and choose’’. It is their duty to enforce the Constitution! All of it! It is not a mere ‘’scrap of paper’’! That includes the Twelfth Amendment!

Yet as I have documented in previous articles, that is precisely what they are doing! They are carefully disregarding the Twelfth Amendment!

In the interest of avoiding any misunderstandings, I must add that their reasons for this may be none but the finest. After all, it is a remnant of slavery, and should be abolished. But until such time as that happens, it is the ‘’law of the land’’, and must be respected. 

Now we are faced with the rather ‘’peculiar’’ situation, to put it politely, in which each of the fifty states, appoints Members of the Electoral College, as is required by Constitutional Law, and in particular, the Twelfth Amendment. So far so good!

The ‘’peculiar’’ then takes place, starting with the appointment of Electors, from the District of Columbia. The Twelfth Amendment makes no reference to any District! It states, ‘’The Electors shall meet in their respective states’’! The appointment of Electors, from the District of Columbia, is in violation of Constitutional Law!

Even more ‘’peculiar’’ is the fact that all states, as well as the District of Columbia, have laws that require each Elector, to vote for the candidates, for the President and Vice President, of one of the two mainstream political parties. 

The states have no right to meddle in a federal election! The Twelfth Amendment is clear! ‘’The Electors shall vote by ballot for President and Vice President ….they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice President’’. 

It is up to the Electors, to vote for the ‘’person’’, of their choice, for the office of President, as well as the ‘’person’’, of their choice, for the office of Vice President! 

It is up to the states to appoint the Electors. It is in turn, up to the Electors, to elect the President, and the Vice President.

There can be no doubt that all Electors are highly respected, well educated residents of the various states, as well as the District of Columbia. Equally without doubt, all of those same Electors are being disrespected! They are being treated as ‘’common messengers’’, similar to ‘’carrier pigeons’’, sent to Washington to ‘’rubber stamp’’ the candidates for office, of one of the two mainstream political parties. In direct violation of Constitutional Law!

The Electors have every right to be upset, as they are being treated with the utmost contempt. They are highly trained professionals, responsible for the election of the highest ranking federal officials in the country, the offices of President and Vice President. 

Yet may I suggest to the Electors, that now is not the time to ‘’get mad’’. Now is the time to ‘’get even’’!

The law is on your side! The various state laws, which require you to vote for the candidates of one of the two mainstream political parties, are Unconstitutional! 

With that in mind, I have a word of advice. Stand up! Grow a backbone! Defend the Constitution! Perform your duty!

May I further suggest that all Electors get in touch with one another, through the internet, of course. The idea is to agree upon an individual for the office of President, and also agree upon an individual for the office of Vice President. 

I realize that is a ‘’tall order’’, and will likely not happen. Not all Electors are likely to be in agreement. Yet all that is required, is a simple majority of 270 Electoral Votes. If no one candidate receives that majority, then the matter goes to the House of Representatives. 

As the Twelfth Amendment states, ‘’If no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President’’.

This is my somewhat less than subtle way of encouraging the Electors to put aside their differences, at least temporarily, in the interests of democracy. If you people cannot decide, then it will be decided for you. To put it somewhat crudely, ‘’Use it or lose it’’!

As I have previously pointed out, the ‘’November Presidential Election’’, is a farce. As it is not mentioned in the Twelfth Amendment, it has no legal bearing. It matters not in the slightest, whether Harris or Trump, wins that ‘’Election’’. 

This is not to say that the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, will not fight the Electors, should they choose to perform their duty, and vote for the individuals of their choice. We should be so lucky!

We can only hope that many Electors will do just that, and not vote for the candidates of one of the two mainstream political parties.

Strictly as an example, a majority of Electors could vote for a certain Senator, from the state of Vermont, one who classifies himself as an ‘’Independent Socialist’’, for the office of President. Those same Electors could also vote for a certain Member of the House of Representatives, a member of ‘’The Squad’’, regarded as a leader of that little group, for the office of Vice President. Or the Electors could vote in reverse order. Either way, the next President, as well as the next Vice President, would be ‘’Leftists’’.

It is doubtful that the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, would tolerate such a thing. They could even charge those Electors, for violating state laws. The courts, or at least the Supreme Court, would in turn strike down those state laws, as Unconstitutional. This is precisely what we want!

The results of the 2024 federal election, are of secondary importance. The main thing is to raise the level of awareness of the working class, in preparation for the forth coming revolution, and the subsequent Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

All working people, as well as a considerable number of middle class people, will have to become convinced, from their own experience, that the multi billionaires, the class of people known as the bourgeoisie, are in charge, and fully intend to remain in charge! As almost all Americans are closely watching the federal election, we can use this to our advantage. 

As I write this, the ‘’November Election’’, otherwise known as the ‘’Popular Vote’’, is still a few days away. It has the attention of countless people. We can use this to our advantage, as a means of exposing the lies and hypocrisy of the monopoly capitalists. 

I can only hope that concerned citizens, those who are at least interested in democracy, get in touch with each other, through social media, and support all of the Electors. Let them know that we ‘’have their backs’’. Perhaps experts in Constitutional Law can offer to represent them, if the need arises. 

At the same time, be sure to include in your messages, the following slogans:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Scientific Socialism!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

In 1948, certain members of the Jewish faith, those who refer to themselves as Zionists, managed to create a separate state for themselves, referred to as Israel. It is their belief that God gave them the ‘’Holy Land’’, otherwise known as Palestine, and that all non Jewish people should ‘’vacate the premises’’. 

Prior to this, within Palestine, for hundreds of years, people of various religions had lived there, largely in peace, respecting the beliefs of one another. The creation of the state of Israel, brought that mutual respect to an abrupt end. 

The geographical area of the state of Israel increased in 1967, as a result of the ‘’Six Day War’’, in which Israel went to war with the Arab states of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. This resulted in the capture of the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights, Old City of Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza Strip. 

The people of Palestine consider all of Palestine, to be ‘’Occupied Territory’’, which is to say, occupied by that which they refer to as the ‘’illegal state of Israel’’. Most Arab states are also of that opinion.  Yet the mainstream press refers to the West Bank and Gaza Strip as the ‘’Occupied Territories’’, so that the title is wide spread. For that reason, for the purposes of this article, I have chosen to use those titles.

The state of peace and mutual respect, which existed in Palestine before 1948, changed dramatically, at the time of the creation of the Zionist state of Israel. All of those who were not of the Jewish faith were removed from their homes. The polite term for this is ‘’ethnic cleansing’’. Most of the ‘’Displaced People’’, or ‘’Palestinians’’, were forced into tiny, overcrowded enclaves, or ‘’Occupied Territories’’, currently referred to as the ‘’Gaza Strip’’ and the ‘’West Bank’’. These ‘’Territories’’ are ruled by the government of Israel.

Many of these ‘’Displaced People’’ were formerly farmers, proud people, growing their own crops. Now they are confined to the Occupied Territories, largely degraded, without land, reduced to the level of beggars, relying heavily on ‘’hand outs’’. Of course they are resisting!

Various political groups have taken shape, both within and without the ‘’Occupied Territories’’ of Palestine. All are united in their determination to destroy the state of Israel, which they maintain is an ‘’illegal state’’. In this way, they are determined to achieve the liberation of the people of Palestine. 

Perhaps the most well known is the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the PLO. Then there is Hamas, mainly active in the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah is mainly based in southern Lebanon. The Houthis are mainly based in the state of Yemen. Together they form the ‘’Axis of Resistance’’, although the Israeli’s tend to refer to them as the ‘’Axis of Evil’’. 

The experience of the Six Days War, has taught all of these various groups, a valuable lesson. The Israeli military, referred to as the Israeli Defence Force, the IDF, is very powerful. Not to be under estimated. It is supplied  with the latest American made arms and equipment. The troops are also well trained. Yet they can be beaten. 

It was the Vietnamese who defeated the Americans, through the use of ‘’guerrilla warfare’’. This is a reference to ‘’irregulars’’, or ‘’civilians’’, those who are not part of an official army, but specialize in ambushes, traps, raids, sabotage, as well as ‘’hit and run’’ tactics. The use of tunnels is an integral part of guerrilla warfare.

For a great many years, those who are ‘’Anti Zionists’’, opposed to the state of Israel, have been preparing to go to war with that state. This includes the arming and equipping of various ‘’irregulars’’, as well as the digging and utilization of countless ‘’under ground bunkers’’, or tunnels.

As well, the state of Iran is well aware of the fact that the Israeli air force is armed with the latest American aircraft. The Iranian aircraft are old and out dated, no match for the modern F35’s. So they are not about to challenge them, or at least, not in aerial combat.  

Instead, the Iranians have focused on developing missiles. Quite successfully too, as the events of October 1, have proven. On that day, almost two hundred missiles were launched from Iran, onto the military targets in Israel, hundreds of kilometres away. Many of those missiles hit their targets! Long range, powerful and accurate! Most impressive!

Some of these missiles were ‘’intercepted’’, or ‘’shot down’’, by the Israeli defence, the so called ‘’Iron Dome’’. This is a reference to a very elaborate, ‘’high tech’’, radar controlled, computer activated, missile defence system, in which missiles are used to intercept missiles. On that day, the Iron Dome was largely ineffective. 

The Iranians were able to ‘’pierce’’ the Israeli air defences, with the use of ‘’hyper sonic’’ missiles, those which are able to travel at over five times the speed of sound, or greater than ‘’Mach 5’’. 

Bear in mind that ‘’Mach’’ is a reference to the speed of sound, so that Mach 5 is five times the speed of sound. Technical jargon!

The precise amount of damage, of this missile strike, is not clear, but it is widely considered to be considerable. It is very likely that a great many American made, F35 jets, were destroyed. 

Now the Israeli’s are faced with war on ‘’numerous fronts’’, to use the jargon of the military. On the one hand, they are faced with the guerrilla warfare of Hamas and Hezbollah, and on the other hand, the conventional warfare of Iran, in the form of missiles. 

As I write this, the mainstream press is focused on the ‘’response’’ the Israeli’s will take, to this missile strike. All journalists are agreed that the only question is the ‘’form of the retaliation’’, as Israel ‘’goes up the escalation ladder’’. Journalist jargon!

Most of them are of the opinion that Israel will not strike the nuclear sites of Iran, partly because they are so well defended. Besides, they are largely deep underground, or buried in mountains. 

As well, President Biden has expressed his disapproval. Not that the Israeli’s pay much attention to that which Biden says. A mere ‘’barking dog’’! 

Most of those journalists are agreed that Israel will likely strike the Iranian oil sites, including refineries, storage facilities and oil fields. These are referred to as ‘’soft targets’’, less well defended, easily struck, with a minimum of risk, and maximum damage. 

In particular, Kharg Island has been mentioned, as a likely target of ‘’Israeli aggression’’. It is a huge oil terminal, described as being ‘’critical for the oil exports of Iran’’. 

If indeed Israel does choose to retaliate, in this manner, then it is reasonable to assume that Iran will respond, in a similar fashion. In fact, numerous oil facilities, through out the Middle East, including within those countries which are allied to America, may soon find themselves engulfed in flames! One good turn deserves another!

Those same journalists are concerned that this will ‘’have a catastrophic effect on the world economy’’. Typical! A war, in which countless people are being killed and wounded, in danger of expanding and becoming a ‘’Regional War’’, and all they can think about, is the ‘’world economy’’! They are merely concerned with the profits of the capitalists!

This ‘’Local War’’, which could soon escalate into a ‘’Regional War’, has further implications. After all, reliable reports are that Iran and Russia may soon enter into a ‘’Mutual Defence Act’’. 

Bear in mind that Iran is suspected to be within six months, of developing no less that ten nuclear weapons. And they certainly have the missiles to deliver those nuclear payloads! Not to mention the fact that Russia has no shortage of ‘’nukes’’!

Perhaps a certain former American president was correct, when he expressed concern about a possible ‘’Third World War’’!

Even if those warring countries resort to ‘’nukes’’, that does not mean ‘’Armageddon’’! It does not mean that ‘’Judgement Day’’ is upon us! It does mean that we have our work cut out for us!

While we have to respect the beliefs of all common people, including those who believe that such is indeed the case, we have to encourage such people to persevere. Now is not the time to sit back and wait for the world to come to an end! Now is the time for action!

Nuclear weapons are indeed terrible. As are machine guns! Rockets! Artillery! In fact, all gun powder is capable of inflicting terrible damage! Which it does!

It is the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, which are behind these wars! They are only too happy- even anxious!- to have working people fighting each other! The more butchery the better! Divide the proletariat, and increase profits! A ”win- win” situation! Their ‘’cup runneth over’’! Who cares if the weapons used are ‘’nukes’’? 

This particular class of people, the monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie of various countries, must be stopped. They are completely reactionary! They will not hesitate to slaughter millions of people, in an attempt to increase profits! The experience of two world wars leaves no room for any doubt, on that point!

It is up to the working class, the proletariat, to overthrow the monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie. It is the class which is destined to perform this noble task! Now it is a matter of making them aware of this fact. That is where conscious people, those who are aware of the existence of classes, and the conflict between the classes, comes into play. In other words, Marxists, true Communists, those who call for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, must bring this awareness to the proletariat. 

As I have mentioned in previous articles, the proletariat is not aware of itself, as a class, complete with its own class interests. For that reason, in the struggle with the class of monopoly capitalists, I can only compare this to that of two boxers, one of whom is blind folded. 

Of course, the boxer who is blind folded is the working class, swinging wildly in all directions, as it is not class conscious. The boxer who can see very well, the monopoly capitalist class, is supremely class conscious.

It is the duty of Communists, to ‘’remove the blind fold’’ from the working class, to raise their level of awareness, to make them class conscious. They, or at least the most advanced members of the proletariat, must be raised to the level of true Marxists, embracing the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. 

Now, more than ever before, the situation is most urgent. The current war in the Middle East, is expanding, threatening to become a ‘’Regional War’’, if not a ‘’World War’’. 

To the people involved in these wars, the classification makes little difference. They just want these wars to end. 

That which I am suggesting, is indeed a ‘’tall order’’, but completely manageable. Bear in mind that the middle class is ‘’living on borrowed time’’, as the multi billionaires have recently decided to wipe out that class. The fact is that all businesses but five, are ‘’Too Small To Succeed’’. Even General Motors is ‘’Too Small To Succeed’’!

If nothing else, even if only in the interests of ‘’self preservation’’, may I suggest that middle class people read once again, the Essential Works of Lenin. This time without the bourgeois bias, as is taught in University. You may find yourself surprised to find that everything Marx and Lenin said is true! 

Perhaps even more surprising, you may find that you have a bright future under Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. As opposed to capitalism, under which you have no future whatsoever!

Rest assured, your skills in organization and in running a business, will come in most handy, after the revolution. You will be in demand, and paid accordingly. 

But first is the ‘’not so little detail’’, of overthrowing the class of people who are determined to destroy you. Of course I am referring to the bourgeoisie. It may help to think of this as ‘’one good turn deserves another’’. As they are so determined to wipe out your class, feel free to take part in the destruction of their class, the bourgeoisie! 

With that noble goal in mind, regardless of the motivation, feel free to focus on raising the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat. As most working people are now cultured, complete with digital devices, that makes the task so much easier.

Feel free to flood social media- I believe that is the correct term- with calls for Scientific Socialism, for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Share your previous experience as a capitalist, and the lessons learned from this. Take part in creating Councils, also known as Soviets, in serving the working people. Your past will not be held against you! 

Encourage working people to join the two mainstream political parties, as card carrying members. They can also run for office, as members of those parties! Take the capitalists at their word! Try to change the system from within!

Lest we forget, remind all working people that the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, lays out the procedure to be followed in all federal elections! Encourage experts in Constitutional law to challenge the 2024 ‘’presidential election’’ as Unconstitutional!

Celebrities must become politically active! Especially Hollywood ‘’movie stars’’! Strangely enough, your adoring fans pay strict attention to you! Share your experience! That includes any possible sexual exploitation and degradation! Be creative! Entertain! That is your department! Education through entertainment!

The preceding was merely a few suggestions, concerning the manner in which we can prepare the working class, the Proletariat, for their approaching Dictatorship. The need is urgent, and the tools consist largely of the internet. With the proper application of those tools, the situation can be quickly turned around.

We will know that we are being successful, when certain expressions are wide spread, among the working people, as well as on the internet:

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Scientific Socialism! 

Workers of the World, Unite!

The American public is being exposed to the term ‘’stochastic terrorism’’ lately, as the mainstream press is currently accusing Trump and his campaign officials of using that tactic. 

In this they are correct, but that in no way changes the fact that most readers are not familiar with the meaning of the expression. It is also a fact that countless working people are closely following the so called ‘’presidential campaign’’, so that this requires a little explanation. 

In technical terms, it is a reference to the attempt of people to use disgust, to incite violence. This generally involves the use of ‘’hate speech’’, in which a group of people are ‘’dehumanized and vilified’’. It is then far more likely that others, and in particular the less advanced members of the working class, will respond with violence, attacking those poor unfortunates. 

This is nothing other than one of the methods of rule, of the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. This particular method is commonly referred to as ‘’divide and conquer’’. It is considered to be a ‘’time honoured’’ tactic, that of dividing the enemy, to have them fight among themselves, instead of fighting their common enemy. 

In this case, the ‘’enemy’’ being divided, encouraged to ‘’fight among themselves’’, is the working class, the proletariat. The monopoly capitalists are making every effort to have workers fighting workers. In the past, this tactic has proven to be quite successful.

It was Trump who first accused Haitian immigrants, in the city of Springfield, Ohio, of ‘’eating the dogs and cats’’ of the residents. Then his ‘’running mate’’, J.D. Vance,  the individual he chose to run for the office of Vice President, perpetuated the lie. As Vance stated:

‘’The American media totally ignored this stuff, until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories, so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that is what I am going to do’’. 

This calls for another explanation, as a great many people are not aware of the definition of the word ‘’meme’’. According to the internet, it is ‘’an amusing or interesting item, such as a captioned picture or video, that is spread online, especially through social media’’. 

To think that J.D. Vance, an individual who could well become the next Vice President of the United States, considers the accusation that ‘’Haitian immigrants are eating the cats and dogs of Springfield’’, to be a ‘’meme’’, an ‘’amusing or interesting item’’, speaks volumes concerning his character. That man is nothing short of contemptible!

It is to the credit of a certain mainstream journalist, that he pointed out the lies and hypocrisy of these racist lowlifes: 

‘’They know it is a lie, yet they are defending their racist hate speech, concerning Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, which is ripping the community apart, and sparking violent threats….J.D. Vance openly admits to and defends lying about Haitian immigrants eating pets…..Admits that he made up the violent smear against Haitian immigrants in Springfield Ohio, in order to create a meme, that the mainstream media had to report on’’.

It is significant that this particular ‘’mainstream journalist’’, admits that the ‘’mainstream media’’, was forced to ‘’report on’’ this particular ‘’meme’’, even though it was clearly a lie! So much for the mainstream press being fair and impartial!

This brings us to another term, which the mainstream press is using, that of ‘’dead catting’’. This is a rather disgusting reference to a ‘’shocking or dramatic and usually false claim’’, in order to ‘’distract from a more damaging story’’, according to the internet. 

Strangely enough, it has its origins in the entertainment industry. In cases where a stand up comedian was ‘’bombing’’, it was customary to ‘’throw a dead cat’’ onto the stage. This crude form of entertainment was apparently effective. It distracted the audience from the comedian, and frequently provoked a laugh. 

It is reasonable to assume that the sight of a ‘’dead cat’’, was not the reason for the laughter of the audience. It is far more likely that the people were shocked and appalled, and used laughter to cover their embarrassment and disgust. 

Just as the entertainers of yesteryear did not hesitate, to resort to vulgarity and disgust, so too, Trump and Vance also embrace such tactics. 

This brings us to yet another term, that of ‘’Hybrid Warfare’’, or ‘’Grey Zone’’. It is a reference to the tactics pursued by those who are completely devoid of principle, those who maintain that the ‘’end justifies the means’’. They do not hesitate to stoop to any lie, fraud or deception, in order to achieve their desired goal.

In the case of Trump and Vance, the goal is the White House. If that goal involves instigating the murder of countless innocent immigrants, working class people, one and all, then so be it. 

It is important to bear in mind that such behaviour is not limited to Trump and Vance. It is characteristic of all monopoly capitalists, imperialists. All are devoid of principle. All imperialists are completely reactionary. In the case of Trump and Vance, it just happens to be very open and clear cut. 

This should be presented to the working class, as a clear cut example of that reaction. Those two are not exceptionally reactionary. They are merely exceptionally stupid. 

Our goal is to raise the level of awareness, of the proletariat, to prepare them for the approaching revolution, and the subsequent Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. 

This can only be accomplished by becoming involved in that which interests them. At the moment, they are taking a keen interest in the ‘’presidential election’’. That is the reason I am focused on that election.

We must respect the beliefs of the countless working people, those who still believe in the ‘’democratic process’’, as put forward by the monopoly capitalists. 

For that reason, we must encourage them to ‘’take the capitalists at their word’’, in order to ‘’change the system from within’’. 

What better way to ‘’change the system from within’’, than by demanding that they abide by the law of the land, the Constitution? After all, every elected politician in Washington, has taken an oath, ‘’to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution’’. They do not get to pick and choose!

Of course, I am referring to the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, which lays out the procedure to be followed, in all federal elections! Procedures which have not been followed, since the days of the Civil War! For that reason, all federal elections, for the last hundred and fifty years, have been fraudulent!

As I have documented this in previous articles, there is no need to copy the Twelfth Amendment here. Suffice it to say that experts on Constitutional law should be encouraged to challenge the forthcoming federal election, on the grounds that it is Unconstitutional, as it does not follow the procedures outlined in the Constitution. 

There can be no doubt that the working people of America, will pay close attention to such a court case. In this way, their level of awareness will be raised.

Equally without doubt, the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, will be forced to change their method of rule. They are in charge, and fully intend to remain in charge!

In this way, they will be more exposed. The working class people will see them as the liars and hypocrites, that they are. As such, they have to be overthrown. 

It is just a matter of time before the working class, even the less advanced strata of the proletariat, comes to realize that those of us who are Marxists, true Communists, are correct. The precise length of time largely depends upon us. It is up to Communists to raise the level of awareness of the proletariat. 

We will know we are being successful, when social media proclaims:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Scientific Socialism!
