One of the most highly respected, conservative, ‘’Right Wing’’ newspapers in the country, the Wall Street Journal, WSJ, published a ‘’bombshell’’ article, on July 18, concerning the ‘’Jeffrey Epstein Scandal’’.

Allow me to clarify that previous statement. It is the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, those who are members of a class of people, technically referred to as the bourgeoisie, who have such high respect for the WSJ. By contrast, those of us who are generally considered to be ‘’Leftist’’, including socialists and Communists, tend to have a somewhat different attitude towards that newspaper.

I mention this, for the benefit of those members of the working class, the proletariat, who are just now becoming politically active. Welcome, my Brothers and Sisters, my Comrades!

That being said, the fact is that I believe in ‘’giving credit where credit is due’’. In this particular case, the WSJ deserves credit for exposing the lies and hypocrisy of Donald Trump. 

It is also a fact that the ‘’Jeffrey Epstein Scandal’’, as that is the manner to which it is being referred, has attracted the attention of countless working people. For that reason, it deserves our attention. Not because a convicted sex offender, a pedophile, a child molester, was clearly murdered in prison, but because it is part of a much larger criminal conspiracy, on the part of the bourgeoisie, in an attempt to cover up their crimes.

Now to the matter:

The WSJ alleges that, in 2003, ’’Jeffrey Epstein’s friends sent him bawdy letters for a 50th birthday album.’’ They further allege that ‘’one of those letters was from Donald Trump’’.

As the WSJ went on to state, 

‘’The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy- like others in the album. It contains several lines of type written texts, framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand- drawn with a heavy marker. 

‘’A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly line ‘Donald’ below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

‘’The letter concludes: ‘Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret.’’’

Naturally, Trump denies writing this letter. He certainly cannot deny knowing Epstein, if only because there are numerous pictures and videos of the two of them, apparently ‘’partying’’ together. 

In fact, in 2002, Trump said of Epstein, ‘’Terrific guy. I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he loves beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it- Jeffrey enjoys his social life.’’  

Now that the WSJ has published an article, alleging that Trump gave Epstein that ‘’bawdy letter’’, Trump is determined to sue the WSJ and ’’media mogul’’, Rupert Murdoch, presumably for slander.

In case people are wondering, there is no law against lying. It may be naughty, but it is not illegal. So even if Trump would love to press charges against them, for ‘’saying terrible things about him’’, he cannot. 

What he can do, and is doing, is suing them for slander. And what is slander? It is the ‘’act of uttering false charges or misrepresentations that defame and damage another’s reputation.’’

The key word here is ‘’false’’. As long as the WSJ can prove that the accusations are indeed correct, that Trump did indeed write that ‘’bawdy letter’’ to Epstein, then the lawsuit has no basis. 

In the case of the WSJ and Rupert Murdock, they chose to run this story, knowing full well that they would almost certainly face a lawsuit from Trump. For that reason, they must have been first convinced that the letter was written by Trump. What is more, they must have been convinced that they were able to prove it. After all, the WSJ and Murdock have been accused of a great many things. Stupidity in not one of those things!

This begs the question: How does the WSJ plan to prove, in a court of law, that the letter was written by Trump?

The only reasonable answer, is by having an expert on handwriting swear, under oath, that the hand writing is indeed, that of Trump. Otherwise, the WSJ will be forced to pay dearly, for those serious accusations. 

No doubt, a great many people are wondering just how the WSJ got their hands on that ‘’bawdy letter’’, or at least a copy of that letter. After all, such a letter could be evidence in a potential criminal case, involving under age girls.

The answer is that, it is almost certain that a member of the FBI, or the DOJ, ‘’leaked’’ this document, to the WSJ. This is to say that an agent of one of those government organizations, slipped a copy to a journalist, one who worked for the WSJ. 

This act may, or may not, have been legal. Legal or not, the journalists are under no obligation to reveal their sources. They are protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. For that reason, all police officers are aware that they can slip to these journalists information which they want to make public, with the understanding of complete confidentiality. In other words, the journalist promises to not mention their name.

Of course, Trump has responded to this, precisely as expected. He is suing the WSJ, and Rupert Murdoch. 

It is the opinion of legal experts, that ‘’This lawsuit is the single stupidest thing he could have done! …At the end of the day, the notebook comes out….It is up to Trump to prove the notebook is false…The WSJ has anticipated this, and they are ready for war’’. 

How is it that no one is surprised that Trump has, once again, done the ‘’stupidest thing’’ possible? This merely serves to increase the ‘’public curiosity’’, as the mainstream press phrases it. 

It is also not at all surprising, that the same mainstream press is careful to avoid any mention of classes! God forbid that the working class should become aware of themselves, as a class! With their own class interests!

It is the duty, of Scientific Socialists, to raise the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat! The most advanced workers must be raised to the level of Scientific Socialists, aware of the fact that the proletariat is destined to overthrow the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, to smash the existing state apparatus, and to set up a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! 

The best way to accomplish this, is by becoming involved in that which interests the working people. Hence our concern with the murder of a pedophile, a child molester.

Not that too many people are shedding tears over this. One less pedophile is no great loss. It is his rich clients, the multi billionaires, the members of the class of people known as the bourgeoisie, who paid a small fortune for the ‘’honour and privilege’’ of raping underage girls, with whom we are concerned. Those girls, now adults, are being denied justice!

There can be no doubt, that Epstein was in the business of selling underage girls, to those with great wealth. Just as there can be no doubt that he was murdered, in his prison cell, in order to keep him from talking, from revealing the identity of his ‘’clients’’, the people who paid, most handsomely, to rape those girls! 

That previous statement is widely disputed, as the death of Epstein has been officially ruled a suicide. The Medical Examiner conducted an investigation, and issued  a ruling of ‘’suicide by hanging’’. Even though such a hanging is simply not possible!

That is the considered opinion of a true expert, a self confessed former mobster, an individual who has spent years in prison, including seven months in the same prison in which Epstein supposedly hung himself.

This is made clear in a video, posted on the internet, titled, ‘’Epstein ‘could not have killed himself’, says inmate held in same cell.’’ As he stated:

‘’There is no way you are able to commit suicide. There is no way to hang yourself. There’s nothing from the ceiling. The beds are too low….As far as the cameras being off, I have not experienced that, or of correctional officers not walking those cells. They look in on you all the time….I do not believe it was suicide. It is almost impossible….There is no way that this person operated alone….He (Epstein) had cameras on every bedroom…and all of a sudden all of it is gone? None of this makes sense…It was young women involved in this, trafficked and abused. I have daughters and grand daughters, and I just do not like it. Anybody involved in this should be held accountable….It has got to stop. If these people are not held accountable, it is just going to continue. And unfortunately it seems like it is people with power and money….there is a lot of stuff that really needs to come out…’’

This is almost certainly true, as mobsters have a certain code. All are family men, with wives and children, including daughters. Women and children are to be protected, not harmed! All sex offenders, and especially child molesters, are held in the utmost contempt!

Yet if we are to be wildly optimistic, and assume that it is possible for someone to somehow hang themselves in prison, then it stands to reason, common sense, that the marks of that noose, would be quite distinctive. It would go from the front, the throat, to higher up on the neck, in back. By contrast, signs of strangulation would go from the throat, directly to the rear, without going higher up. 

This fact is well known to all Medical Examiners, those who are responsible for determining the cause of death. To falsify an official document, to state that the cause of death was by suicide, when all evidence indicates murder by strangulation, is a very serious matter. Such a falsification could result in the loss of license of that Medical Examiner. It could also lead to charges of accessory to murder!

Yet all indications are, that is precisely the case! Those whom the mainstream press refers to as the ‘’rich and powerful’’, the ‘’members of the elite’’, are in fact the multi billionaires, monopoly capitalists, members of the ruling class of people referred to as the bourgeoisie. 

Concerning the subject of the prison cameras, it has been determined that the video shown was falsified! In a video, posted on the internet, and titled, ‘’Proof: Epstein video edited by feds’’, it states:

‘’Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts show that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as ‘raw’ footage’’. 

A great many members of that class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, no doubt paid Epstein, in order to rape underage girls! All of which was video taped by Epstein! For purposes of blackmailing those same clients, no doubt!

Now that the FBI and the DOJ have those videos, they also have the identify of those child molesters, multi billionaires, one and all. It is those videos which are being with held from the public. Not to protect the identity of the victims. But to protect the identity of the child molesters! The multi billionaires!

Strangely enough, this disclosure, by the WSJ, places Scientific Socialists, Communists, in alliance with Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk. Strictly on this one issue, mind you, that of exposing the conspiracy, of certain multi billionaires, to cover up their rape of countless under age girls.

While this alliance may seem strange, it is not too surprising. In fact, the Communist Manifesto goes into this. In Section 3, Part 2, under the title of ‘’Conservative or Bourgeois Socialism’’, it states:

‘’A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society. 

‘’To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organizers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole – and- corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete systems.’’

There can be no doubt that both Musk and Murdoch are multi billionaires, and therefore members of the class of people we refer to as the bourgeoisie. Equally without doubt, they are ‘’desirous of redressing social grievances’’, in this case the widespread rape of underage girls. The reason for their concern? ‘’In order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society’’, according to the Communist Manifesto.

Those under age girls, now adults, have been robbed of their childhood innocence, and are now being denied justice. It is to the credit of Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk, that they are attempting to secure the release of all files pertaining to the ‘’Epstein Scandal’’, including the videos which Epstein took, of his ‘’clients’’ raping those girls. Those videos reveal the identify of those pedophiles, those who are multi billionaires.  

The precise motives for the concern of Musk and Murdoch, towards those unfortunate girls, are of secondary importance. The main thing is that they are demanding justice for those girls, and for that reason, we can support them, on this one particular issue.

Those women deserve justice! Nothing can change the fact that they have been terribly abused! Yet if Trump has his way, they will also be denied justice! All in the interests of protecting the multi billionaires who abused them!

Yet what is the role of Communists? According to the Communist Manifesto:

‘’The Communists, therefore, are on the one hand, practically, the most advanced and resolute section of the working- class parties of every country, that section which pushes forward all others; on the other hand, theoretically, they have over the great mass of the proletariat the advantage of clearly understanding the line of march, the conditions, and the ultimate general results of the proletarian movement. 

‘’The immediate aim of the Communists is the same as that of all the other proletarian parties: formation of the proletariat into a class, overthrow of the bourgeois supremacy, conquest of political power by the proletariat.’’

This is to say that our goal, that of securing justice for those unfortunate women, must be seen as part of our broader aim, that of raising the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat. 

We are Communists, Scientific Socialists, not utopian socialists, those who strive only for paltry reforms. As Marx and Engels further make clear, in the Communist Manifesto:

‘’The theoretical conclusions of the Communists are in no way based on ideas or principles that have been invented, or discovered, by this or that would-be universal reformer.’’

This is to stress the fact that Communism, Scientific Socialism, is based on the ‘’theoretical conclusions’’ of Karl Marx, the first true Scientific Socialist. 

Allow me to further stress the fact that the ruling class of bourgeoisie, is now squabbling among themselves. The Communist Manifesto also has a few words to say about this:

‘’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.’’. 

May I suggest that this squabbling, among the bourgeoisie, is an indication that the ‘’class struggle is nearing the decisive hour’’. Now is the time for a ‘’small section of the ruling class to cut itself adrift’’, and ‘’join the revolutionary class’’, the proletariat, the ‘’class that holds the future in its hands’’. Of course, I am here referring to the ‘’bourgeois ideologists’’, those who have ‘’raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole’’. 

This should not be terribly difficult, as all such ideologists have been exposed to the distortion of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin, in University. Now it is simply a matter of examining those theories with an open mind. 

As I have mentioned in numerous previous articles, such people have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. The bourgeoisie is determined to abolish the democratic republic, set up the rule of an Oligarchy, and to wipe out the middle class. 

Under Scientific Socialism, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, your training and skills will be in demand. Your past service, to the bourgeoisie, will not be held against you. You will be paid most handsomely. Choose wisely.

It is no exaggeration to say that, at least here in North America, working people have been robbed of their history. This extends to the International Workers Day, of May 1, which has its roots in the American workers movement. 

In the interests of correcting that particular injustice, I should mention that, in the spring of 1886, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labour Unions, the precursor to the American Federation of Labour, called for a ‘’day of action’’, in the form of a nation wide strike, to take place on May 1. The goal of this ‘’labour dispute’’, to use the expression of the bourgeois, was to secure an eight hour work day.

This is significant because, at that time, the standard work day was often ten to sixteen hours long. As well, workers were frequently required to work six and even seven days a week, with no overtime pay.

At that time, the labour movement was very broad and deep, so that on that day, hundreds of thousands of American workers went on strike, all across the country.

This ‘’day of action’’, this ‘’one day strike’’, of May 1, was largely peaceful. The exception was within the city of Chicago, in Haymarket Square. Events took place there, which were anything but peaceful. It started when someone threw a bomb, and ended with numerous people dead and injured, both police and protesters.

To this day, no one knows for sure who threw the bomb, or why it was thrown. We do know that the police started shooting in retaliation, and the workers responded in kind. 

This ‘’conflict’’, between workers and police, has gone down in history as the ‘’Haymarket Incident’’. It became a ‘’turning point’’ in the labour movement of the United States, and around the world. It led to the establishment of May 1, as ‘’International Workers Day’’. It also contributed to the ‘’growth of labour unions and the adoption of laws and regulations which improved working conditions and wages for workers’’, as the bourgeois journalists so delicately phrase it.

Regardless of how it is phrased, the fact of the matter is that, by the early twentieth century, International Workers Day, or May Day, as it is commonly called, became an important holiday for the labour movement around the world. 

In the Socialist Soviet Union especially, May 1 was a national holiday, at least until the capitalists were able to return to power. Now it is still celebrated in numerous countries, around the world, including Viet Nam, China, Cuba and several countries in Europe and Latin America. To this day, it is still one of the most widely observed holidays. A testament to the strength of the American working class movement!

Now American workers are building upon their proud tradition, of revolutionary motion. The Hands Off Movement is daily becoming ever stronger. In fact, it is so strong that a certain popular Leftist journalist, has pointed out that these protests are ‘’crossing the threshold of mainstream media attention’’. This is to say that the Movement is so strong, the mainstream press can no longer continue to ignore it!

Incidentally, it is also being referred to as the ’’50-50-1 Movement’’, in that it stands for fifty protests in fifty states, on one day. As there are far more than fifty protests taking place on any given day, it is doubtful that such a title will replace that of ‘’Hands Off Movement’’. Also, the press frequently refers to ‘’Red States’’, which is a reference to the states which, at least formerly, strongly supported Trump. Not so much now!

The finest of the bourgeois economists, and such are exceptional, are now drawing a comparison, of the current state of events, to that of the Great Depression. In particular, the Wall Street Journal has a headline: ‘’Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932 as Investors Send ‘No Confidence’ Signal’’.

Such a headline, by the WSJ, one of the most highly respected, most conservative newspapers in the country, is quite remarkable. Even though the newspaper was careful to avoid the dreaded ‘’D Word’’, that of ‘’Depression’’, it is well known that the year 1932, was the depth of the Great Depression. 

The bourgeois economists are frustrated by the fact that all of this is ‘’self inflicted’’, brought on by Trump and his insane tariffs, as well as his impulses, so that the administration has no coherent policy. In fact, the International Monetary Fund, IMF, is reported to be of the opinion that, ‘’Trump Tariffs Will Slow U.S. Economy to a Crawl’’. 

Naturally, Trump is taking no responsibility for this. He is doing that which he does best- passing the buck! Rest assured, the buck stops nowhere near the Oval Office! 

In this particular case, he is blaming the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, because he did not raise interest rates. He has even gone so far as threatening to fire that Chairman, even though it is beyond his legal authority. Not that such legal technicalities have ever stopped him before! It may not stop him now! Chairman Jerome Powell may well be on his way out the door! More chaos and uncertainty! The very thing that investors hate! Leading to more wild swings in the stock market! At the expense of working people!

The bourgeois press is referring to this as a ‘’Constitutional Crisis’’. They use this expression because, by Constitutional law, there are three separate branches of government, the executive, the judicial and the legislative. Each performs certain particular functions, and this acts as a series of ‘’checks and balances’’ on the others. The executive is headed by the President, the legislative is composed of the Senate and House of Representatives, commonly referred to as the Congress, and the judicial is composed of the various courts, with the Supreme Court at its head. 

The trouble being that the legislative branch has abdicated its authority to the executive branch, headed by President  Trump. He, in turn, is determined to abolish the democratic republic, and establish the rule of the Oligarchy. In addition, the judicial branch is at best, slow to respond to any challenge to their authority.

In fact, this is a crisis in capitalism. The ruling class of bourgeoisie, the multi billionaires, are unable to rule in the old way, and are being forced to change their method of rule.

At the same time, the common people, mainly the working class, the proletariat, but also the family farmers, as well as the lower strata of the middle class, are now in motion, all across the country. They are marching in countless cities and towns, as part of the Hands Off Movement, demanding change.

This is of exceptional significance, as it is the very definition of a revolutionary situation! On the one hand, the ruling class cannot rule in the old way, and the ‘’exploited and oppressed masses’’, cannot live in the old way! Lenin explained all this quite clearly, in his excellent article, Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder: 

‘’The fundamental law of revolution, which has been confirmed by all revolutions, and especially by all three Russian revolutions in the twentieth century, is as follows: for a revolution to take place, it is not enough for the exploited and oppressed masses to realize the impossibility of living in the old way, and demand changes; for a revolution to take place, it is essential that the exploiters should not be able to live and rule in the old way. It is only when the ’lower classes’ do not want to live in the old way, and the ‘upper classes’ cannot carry on in the old way, that the revolution can triumph. This truth can be expressed in other words: revolution is impossible without a nation wide crisis (affecting both the exploited and the exploiters). It follows that, for a revolution to take place, it is essential, first, that a majority of the workers (or at least a majority of the class conscious, thinking, and politically active workers), should fully realize that revolution is necessary, and that they should be prepared to die for it; second, that the ruling classes should be going through a governmental crisis, which draws even the most backward masses into politics (symptomatic of any genuine revolution is a rapid, tenfold and even hundredfold increase in the size of the working and oppressed masses- hitherto apathetic- who are capable of waging the political struggle), weakens the government, and makes it possible for the revolutionaries to rapidly overthrow it.’’ (italics by Lenin)

I consider the preceding paragraph to be of exceptional importance. The reason I say this, is because the ‘’fundamental law of revolution’’, is a Marxist theory, which is ‘’confirmed’’ by all previous revolutions, and ‘’especially by all three Russian Revolutions of the twentieth century’’. And we are currently in a revolutionary situation!

May I suggest that all Utopian Socialists in general, and in particular, all members of the Democratic Socialists of America, take note of the fact that Lenin used experience, to confirm his Scientific Socialist theories. That is the proper application of the scientific method.

Allow me to state that, almost certainly, the next American Revolution, will closely resemble the Great Russian Proletarian Soviet Socialist October Revolution. For that reason, we can learn from that Revolution. 

I can only stress the fact that the ‘’fundamental law of revolution’’ was ‘’confirmed’’ by ‘’all three Russian revolutions of the twentieth century’’. This is referred to as taking the ‘’standpoint of practice’’. 

That ‘’fundamental law of revolution’’, is as follows: ‘’For a revolution to take place, it is not enough for the exploited and oppressed masses to realize the impossibility of living in the old way, and demand changes; for a revolution to take place, it is essential that the exploiters should not be able to live and rule in the old way. It is only when the ’lower classes’ do not want to live in the old way, and the ‘upper classes’ cannot carry on in the old way, that the revolution can triumph.’’

That is a near perfect description of our current situation! The ruling class of multi billionaires can no longer rule in the old way, have decided to abolish the democratic republic, and establish the rule of the Oligarchy, with Trump as their figurehead President. 

At the same time, the ‘’lower classes’’, mainly the workers, but also the family farmers and lower strata of the middle class, are rising up in protest, all across the country. They do not ‘’want to live in the old way’’!

This brings us to the next point Lenin made: 

‘’For a revolution to take place, it is essential, first, that a majority of the workers (or at least a majority of the class conscious, thinking, and politically active workers), should fully realize that revolution is necessary, and that they should be prepared to die for it’’.

This is to say that, above all else, the most advanced workers must become ‘’class conscious’’. They must become aware of themselves, as a class, with their own class interests. As well, they must also become aware that it is necessary to smash the existing state apparatus, at the time of the Insurrection, which sets off the Revolution, and then establish a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. After all, the multi billionaires will be anxious to restore their ‘’paradise lost’’. They must be crushed!

These advanced workers can then transmit that understanding to the less advanced.

This brings us to the next point that Lenin made:

‘’Second, that the ruling classes should be going through a governmental crisis, which draws even the most backward masses into politics (symptomatic of any genuine revolution is a rapid, tenfold and even hundredfold increase in the size of the working and oppressed masses- hitherto apathetic- who are capable of waging the political struggle), weakens the government, and makes it possible for the revolutionaries to rapidly overthrow it.’’ 

Without doubt, the ruling class of multi billionaires are experiencing a ‘’governmental crisis’’. Their plan, that of abolishing the democratic republic, and establishing the rule of the Oligarchy, with Trump as the figurehead President, has hit a snag. That snag is Donald Trump. That boy just will not cooperate! He insists on imposing tariffs, which is driving the country into another Great Depression. Not at all what the bourgeoisie had in mind!

This collapsing economy has had the effect of ‘’drawing even the most backward masses into politics’’. Those who were ‘’hitherto apathetic’’ are now politically active, marching, protesting, demanding change, ‘’waging the political struggle’’. Further, the ruling class of multi billionaires are divided, so that the government is weaker, ‘’making it possible for the revolutionaries to rapidly overthrow it’’. 

As I write this, it is now late April, and various protests are being planned for May Day. That is also a fine time to raise the level of awareness of the working class. Posters could possibly call for Revolution, Insurrection, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, and for people to read State and Revolution, for example. At the very minimum, posters should at least draw the attention of people to class distinctions.

It is also a fact that everyone likes to be entertained. Who better to raise the level of awareness of the working class, while at the same time entertaining them, than celebrities? And in particular Hollywood celebrities! Movie stars!

This is not to imply that such people automatically become experts on Scientific Socialism, as soon as they achieve the status of ‘’celebrity’’. They do not. Yet they can raise their own level of awareness, by studying the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin. They can then bring that awareness to the working class. 

Bear in mind that the fans of these celebrities, especially ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’, pay strict attention to whatever they say. That gives them a great deal of power. Spiritual power. Feel free to use that power. Now is not the time to be shy. At the same time, do that which you do best. Entertain! Education through entertainment!

There is a sense of urgency to this. Time is not on our side. Trump and the Oligarchy are determined to force the issue, to abolish the existing democratic republic, and they have already made great strides in this direction. It has been compared to ‘’taking a wrecking ball to a building’’.

In response, the working people are rising up, protesting, demanding change, looking for an alternative. That is the reason they are flocking to rallies held by Sanders and AOC. Those two are offering paltry reforms, not the alternative of Revolution, and the subsequent Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

The people taking part in the Hands Off Movement are looking for an alternative, not more of the same. The one and only alternative is that of Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

My advice, to those people, is to study the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin, especially State and Revolution. Those works are available on the internet. 

I stress the importance of State and Revolution, as that is the work which is most relevant. The Insurrection, which will start the Revolution, could happen at any time. It is that book which stresses the importance of smashing the existing state apparatus, and replacing it with the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

It is very likely that most members of the Democratic Socialists of America are well aware of this, as well as other revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. The reason I say this, is because they have been exposed to those Scientific Socialist theories in University. Bear in mind that there is a big difference between being exposed to those theories, and learning them. After all, the Universities merely teach the bourgeois distortion of those theories.

To those people, may I suggest that you take the standpoint of practice, of experience. It is experience that confirms the correctness of the theories of Marx and Lenin. As the American Revolution is about to break out, it is urgent to face that fact. 

Further face the fact that the experience of the Soviet Union and China, both formerly socialist countries, now capitalist, confirms the fact that the capitalists must be crushed, after the revolution, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Otherwise, they will return to power, as they did in those two countries.

As I have previously pointed out, the capitalists were able to return to power in those two countries, because of the mistakes made by Stalin and Mao. It is up to us to learn from those mistakes, and not repeat them. Here too, it is a matter of learning from experience. 

We can also learn from the experience of the Occupy Movement of 2011. It was superb, broad based and deep. Yet it failed to overthrow the multi billionaires, as it was not guided by any principles of Scientific Socialism, which is to say Marxism. For that reason, the best it could achieve was paltry reforms, which were quickly clawed back, at the earliest opportunity. 

Unless the current Hands Off Movement is given the proper direction, towards Revolution and the subsequent Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, this movement will also flounder. 

The choice is now stark and clear. Either Donald Trump and the rule of the Oligarchy, along with a Second Great Depression, or Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Choose wisely.

We are now less than three months into the second presidency of Donald Trump. Both he and ‘’Co-President’’ Elon Musk have been busy implementing the completely reactionary agenda of Project 2025, along with a few additions. These additions include hawking the sale of Musk’s precious Tesla electric vehicles, on the grounds of the White House lawns, no less. As well, a well known journalist was included in the ‘’top secret’’ planning for a military attack, on a non secure web site. This has given rise to allegations that the individual responsible, for this serious ‘’breach of security’’, was ‘’drunk out of his mind’’. Imagine that!   

Then there are the proposed tariffs, to be placed on numerous products, coming into the country. The neighbouring countries of Mexico and Canada are the main focus of those tariffs, with Canada being referred to as the ‘’Fifty First State’’, and the Prime Minister being referred to as the ‘’Governor of Canada’’. 

Trump also plans to ‘’take back’’ the Panama Canal, as his loyal boot lickers phrased it, as if it once belonged to America! Which it never did, but that has not stopped them from threatening to go to war, in order to seize control of that Canal. Not that they refer to it as war, but instead use the expression ‘’military force’’. As if the use of such force is not an act of war!

The same can be said of seizing control of Greenland, even though it belongs to the country of Denmark. Bear in mind that Denmark is a member of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, an ally of America. It should be mentioned that NATO was first established, in order to counter the perceived ‘’threat posed by Russia’’.

Apparently Russia is no longer seen as a ‘’threat’’, but as an ally. Or perhaps it is more accurate to refer to Russia as a ‘’Colonial Master’’, with America being the Colony. The manner in which Trump is ‘’sucking up’’ to Putin, has given rise to very serious allegations, that he is nothing other than a Russian agent. 

It is one thing to be a liar and a thief, as well as a convicted felon, many times over. Donald Trump is all of that, and more, yet it is something else entirely to be guilty of High Treason. As the American President, he is the head of state, and the Commander In Chief of the American military. To be guilty of High Treason is a capital crime, which could result in the heath penalty. 

The fact remains that all of these threats, especially that of imposing tariffs, has given rise to ‘’nervousness among investors’’, as the mainstream press so delicately phrased it. As a result of this ‘’nervousness’’, the stock market has been fluctuating wildly, and has ‘’lost over five trillion dollars’’, over a ‘’period of three weeks’’. 

Allow me to add that such a ‘’loss’’, is merely that of a paper fortune. Which in no way changes the fact that the financial capitalists, the ‘’stock market investors’’, take this very seriously. They are even more concerned that further tariffs, promised by Trump, to go into effect on April 2, will give rise to ‘’further uncertainty’’, and a greater drop in the stock market. 

In all fairness to those capitalists, their fears are well grounded, as tariffs give rise to counter tariffs, and to inflation, among other things. In particular, Trump’s threats to place tariffs on all vehicles, not built in America, could raise the cost of automobiles by many thousands of dollars. After all, a great many parts go back and forth, across the border, several times, in the process of production. There are perhaps no vehicles built strictly in America! 

As a result of this, the most conscientious bourgeois economists, and such are few and far between, are predicting a recession, and blaming it on Trump and his economic policies, especially that of imposing tariffs.

The vast majority of ‘’common people’’, by whom I mean the workers and family farmers, are already ‘’feeling the pinch’’. There is no need to persuade them of the fact that a recession is ‘’on the horizon’’. As far as they are concerned, it is already here! Wages are at best stagnant, while prices continue to rise. It is becoming ever more difficult to ‘’make ends meet’’. 

Without doubt, countless working class people were fooled by Trump and his lies. Not too surprising, as Trump is a first class demagogue. They actually believed him when he promised to eliminate inflation, ‘’on his first day in office’’, among other things. Yet now inflation of raging out of control. 

But now the ‘’pendulum has begun to swing the other way’’, so to speak. That which is referred to as ‘’pubic sentiment’’, but which is really the revolutionary motion of the working class, is now ‘’gaining traction’’, if you will excuse the mixed metaphors. 

It is significant that, within the pigsty of Washington, there are a few politicians who represent the common people, both workers and family farmers. In the Senate, we have Senator Bernie Sanders, a self described ‘’Independent Socialist’’. As well, in the House of Representatives, we have those who are referred to as ‘’The Squad’’, led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or AOC. 

It is to the credit of both Sanders and AOC, that they have embarked on a ‘’Fighting Oligarchy Tour’’. Even though neither one is running for any political office -both have already been elected!- they are doing this as a public service. 

The response of the working people, has been quite remarkable. The crowds which are ‘’turning out’’, are even bigger now, than the crowds which appeared, at the time Sanders was running for president! As the Leftist journalists point out, this is most surprising, as ’’there is no election now’’, including ‘’no midterm and no primary’’. It is the opinion of those same journalists that ‘’the people need a place to put their energy’’, and that ‘’they trust Sanders and AOC far more than they trust other Democrats, who are doing very little’’, or worse, actually ‘’helping the Trump administration’’. Well spoken!

Even though this journalist made no reference to classes, he documented the fact that the working class people are in motion, more politically active, gradually becoming more aware that the Democratic Party does not represent them. In fact, both mainstream political parties serve the same class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie. Now this has to be explained to them. 

It is even more encouraging that a number of ‘’celebrities’’, are now becoming politically active. Apparently the mass movement, the revolutionary motion of the working class, has reached those people. That is a fine indication of the strength of that motion. 

One of the finest examples is that of a popular comedian, Chris Rock, who is reported to have ‘’unleashed an absolute firestorm across American social media, racking up over five million views’’. That begs the question: What exactly made this performance go viral? 

The answer is that, according to the narrator, the comedian ‘’had the audience erupting with laughter, comparing Trump’s leadership to a reality TV show…cleverly transformed Trump’s serious public image into one of the funniest moments we’ve ever seen….turning this hilarious bit, into a surprisingly informative revelation…hit Trump exactly where it hurt most, his famously fragile ego…flooding every corner of social media within hours….an online phenomenon…’’

As I have stated so many times before, the best way to educate people, is to entertain them, at the same time! This comedian has just provided us with a superb example of this!

Another fine example of exposing the hypocrisy of Trump, was provided by a superb actor, Robert De Niro, a ‘’Hollywood Movie Star’’. He expressed his opinion of Trump, in terms which left no room for any misunderstanding: ‘’He’s a punk. He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con artist. He’s a mutt, who does not know what he is talking about. He doesn’t do his homework. It makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point. That this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he has….He thinks he’s gaming society, does not pay his taxes…He’s a national disaster, an embarrassment to this country. …He is genuinely a sick person, that somehow has been allowed into our system…There is not one redeeming thing about (Trump)… He is so narcissistic and self centred…’’

As the narrator pointed out, ‘’When De Niro talks, people listen…The more Trump rants, the more people listen to what De Niro actually said’’.  

This is to drive home the point that celebrities have a great deal of spiritual power. Their fans listen closely to that which they say, especially if those celebrities are ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’. Mind you, such celebrities can also be professional athletes, for example. Strange but true.

This is not to imply that the mere act of achieving celebrity status, automatically elevates an individual, to the level of being an expert on political matters. It most certainly does not. It simply means that such people have a certain amount of spiritual power, as their fans deeply respect their opinion. 

As for those who may suspect that this is a less than subtle hint, that other Leftist celebrities should become politically active, I can only respond that you are correct. I deliberately singled out ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’, as such people tend to have the most deeply devoted fans. 

More than that, many of those same celebrities, especially the females, have very likely experienced some form of sexual assault. The ‘’powers that be’’ in Hollywood, commonly referred to as ‘’Moguls’’, consider this to be one of the ‘’perks of the job’’, that this is merely the ‘’cost of success’’. In fact, it is nothing other than sexual assault. But then such people have no sense of morality.

Their victims have every reason to feel bitter, as they have largely been denied justice. To such people, I can only suggest that, ‘’tis better to get even, than to get mad’’.

Bear in mind that you are a ‘’Hollywood Celebrity’’, and as such, have a considerable amount of spiritual power. Feel free to use it, not only against those who have assaulted you, but against the whole class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires. Until that whole class of bourgeoisie is overthrown, nothing of substance will change. 

Now it is a matter of raising the level of awareness of the working class, making them aware of themselves as a class, with their own class interests, as it is the working class, the proletariat, that is destined to overthrow the bourgeoisie.

The best way to do this, is by entertaining them at the same time. But then, that is your specialty. 

With that in mind, may I suggest reading the Essential Works of Marxism, such as the Communist Manifesto, by Marx and Engels, as well as State and Revolution, What Is To Be Done?, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, and Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, all by Lenin.

Further bear in mind that the scientific socialist revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin, are taught only in Universities, and then only with a view to distorting them. Feel free to read those articles with an open mind.

The monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, have determined that they can no longer rule in the old way, and have decided to change their method of rule. America is about to go from a democratic republic, to the rule of an Oligarchy. At least, that is their plan. They must be stopped. 

It is up to the working class, the proletariat, the ‘’only consistency revolutionary class’’, to stop them, although we can expect the family farmers and middle class people, to assist them. The multi billionaires must be overthrown, through revolution, and then crushed, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

That is a fundamental tenet of Scientific Socialism, of true Marxism. Yet as such theories are taught only in Universities, and as few working class people are able to attend Universities, they have no way of knowing this. For that reason, it is necessary for middle class people to bring them that awareness. That is where Celebrities come into action. 

Those who are ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’, are especially qualified to fulfill this task. After all, you are supremely well trained in the art of entertaining. Now it is a matter of applying those skills to the task of raising the level of awareness of the working class. We will know that we are being successful, when the expression Dictatorship of the Proletariat, becomes common place.

This goal is no where near as difficult as it once was. The working class is now quite cultured, with the vast majority of workers having access to digital devices, able to access the internet. Bear in mind that the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin is readily available, on the internet.

Yet there is a sense of urgency to this, as the Oligarchy is determined to destroy the democratic republic, and quickly. We can reasonably expect this to accelerate the growth and development of the revolutionary movement, as is currently happening. Now is the time to prepare for the approaching Insurrection, which will mark the beginning of the Second American Revolution, and the beginning of Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

As for those who are skeptical, may I draw your attention to a key paragraph, from the article by Lenin, titled Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder:

‘’The fundamental law of revolution, which has been confirmed by all revolutions, and especially by all three Russian revolutions in the twentieth century, is as follows: for a revolution to take place, it is not enough for the exploited and oppressed masses to realize the impossibility of living in the old way, and demand changes; for a revolution to take place, it is essential that the exploiters should not be able to live and rule in the old way. It is only when the ’lower classes’ do not want to live in the old way, and the ‘upper classes’ cannot carry on in the old way, that the revolution can triumph. This truth can be expressed in other words: revolution is impossible without a nation wide crisis (affecting both the exploited and the exploiters). It follows that, for a revolution to take place, it is essential, first, that a majority of the workers (or at least a majority of the class conscious, thinking, and politically active workers), should fully realize that revolution is necessary, and that they should be prepared to die for it; second, that the ruling classes should be going through a governmental crisis, which draws even the most backward masses into politics (symptomatic of any genuine revolution is a rapid, tenfold and even hundredfold increase in the size of the working and oppressed masses- hitherto apathetic- who are capable of waging the political struggle), weakens the government, and makes it possible for the revolutionaries to rapidly overthrow it.’’ (italics by Lenin)

May I suggest that the current situation fits the requirements, for the ‘’fundamental law of revolution’’. The ruling class of multi billionaires, can no longer ‘’live and rule in the old way’’. They have decided to abolish the democratic republic, and set up the rule of an Oligarchy. 

As well, the common people, the workers and farmers, the ‘’exploited and oppressed masses’’, have decided that they can no longer, ‘’live in the old way’’, and are ‘’demanding changes’’. That is the very definition of a revolutionary situation!

In my opinion, the preceding paragraph should be copied in poster form, and hung in the homes of all advanced workers. I would be the first to purchase such a poster!

In conclusion, may I suggest that all Leftist celebrities have their work cut out for themselves. In particular, those who consider themselves to be Scientific Socialists, Communists, have to find a way to bring the awareness of classes, the necessity of Revolution, and the subsequent Dictatorship of the Proletariat, to the working people. Rest assured, I have complete confidence in you.

For the moment, may I suggest that our emails and posters proclaim the following slogans:

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Scientific Socialism!

Workers of the World, Unite!

Crush the Oligarchy!

Barely two weeks into the second presidency of Donald Trump, and the news reports are quite revealing. First he took credit for securing peace in the Middle East, or at least in the Gaza Strip. Now, as a reward for this selfless act, he plans to create a play ground for himself, and the members of his class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. It is simply a matter of ‘’relocating’’ the two million people who live there, referred to as Palestinians, tearing down the shattered buildings, and ‘’building spectacular developments in Gaza’’. 

Who would have thought that we would ever see the day, that the President of the United States, openly called for ethnic cleansing? A crime against humanity! 

Yet that is precisely what he is doing! Further, he thinks that he can get away with this. Who can blame him? All his life, he has broken various laws, and not served even one day in jail. This despite thirty four felony convictions! 

As well, there have been numerous allegations of sexual assaults! Various women can testify to that! These ladies have every reason to feel bitter. They have been denied justice, as the law does not apply to billionaires. Not only that, but they have also been denied financial compensation!

To such unfortunates, I can only respond that nothing can change the terrible trauma that you endured, nor the fact that you have been denied justice. Yet let me add, that now is not the time to ‘’get mad’’. Now is the time to ‘’get even’’! Rest assured, the latter is far more satisfying! It is just a matter of selecting the proper approach.

With that in mind, consider the fact that there are countless videos, on the internet, containing suggestions, concerning the proper course of action. Most of them are of questionable value, at best, but a few of them are rather revealing.

One of the better videos, is titled ‘’President Musk and his assistant Trump have woken a sleeping giant’’. The narrator, clearly a man with a strong democratic sense, maintains that he ‘’noticed something different over the last couple of weeks…took part in an uprising against Elon Musk’s illegal, Unconstitutional power grab, to shutter government agencies, to hijack American data, installing private servers at the Treasury….there is no oversight…He (Musk) has been appointed to a position of great power, that is outside the purview of Congressional oversight, the coequal branch that has a check on the executive branch….At the Treasury protest, there was a different tone….shifting….from general protest to turning on Democrats, demanding Democrats do their job, to be an opposition Party…This is not the moment to find common ground, this is the moment to save the Republic’’. 

This individual is correct, when he states that ‘’something different’’ has taken place, within the last ‘’couple weeks’’. That something different is the mass movement, or more accurately, the revolutionary motion, which has increased dramatically. He is also correct when he states that ‘’this is the moment to save the Republic’’. 

Yet his ‘’solution’’, that of ‘’calling the Capitol Switchboard’’, in order to express disapproval with the Democratic officials, would have little effect. Those who took part in the Occupy Movement, of several years ago, can testify to the fact that the two mainstream political parties, Democrats and Republicans, serve the same class. That class is the monopoly capitalist class, the multi billionaires, currently referred to as the Oligarchy, technically referred to as the bourgeoisie. 

Yet the title of his article, in which he refers to ‘’waking a sleeping giant’’, exposes an awareness on his part, that the revolutionary motion has now spread to all segments of American society. 

A second video is perhaps a bit more pro active. It is titled, ‘’American citizens protest Elon Musk hijacking US Treasury’’. 

The narrator says he took part in a protest, against that which he referred to as ‘’Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda, a man who inserted Elon Musk into the actual functioning of the government. They have forced out Treasury officials, overtaken payment systems within the Treasury Department, and in the absence of Congress actually stepping up to do something, citizens are exercising their First Amendment rights, under the Constitution, to redress their government, and express their displeasure and outrage over what is taking place. If you are not able to join in movements like this, in uprisings like this, you find a local group to express your displeasure. It is going to take citizen action, to get anything done, to actually make some change here, so get ready for a fight. People have woken up’’. 

In this, he is correct, when he states that it is going to take ‘’citizen action’’, in order to ‘’make some change here’’. He is also correct, when he says that people should join ‘’local groups’’. These groups are known as Councils, many of which are working ‘’underground’’, and are preparing working people for the approaching Insurrection. 

This was followed by a speech, by a Democratic Senator. He made the appropriate noises, as was expected from a member of the ‘’opposition Party’’. As it was so completely meaningless, there is no need to repeat it here.

The only surprise was when he stated that ‘’people have woken up’’, and further, ‘’We have to reach out to everyone in this country, conservatives, liberals, republicans, democrats, and tell them that we have not months, and not weeks, but we have days to stop the destruction of our democracy. In this country, it is the people that rule, not the billionaires, we are taking this country back from Elon Musk.’’

To think that even a Democratic Senator was forced to admit that ‘’people have woken up’’! He also faced the fact that the Financial Oligarchy is determined to destroy the American democratic republic. That is an indication of the strength of the revolutionary movement.

Even the highly respected, self described Independent Socialist, Senator Bernie Sanders, expressed deep concern. He is afraid that the Oligarchy is transforming the American democratic republic into a ‘’Kleptocracy’’. Yet, in an interview with CNN, he offered no viable method of opposing this trend. Perhaps he has given up?

Incidentally, by definition, a kleptocracy literally means ‘’rule by thieves’’. It is used to describe governments whose leaders misuse their powers, to steal from their people. It is also referred to as a ‘’thievocracy’’. An accurate description of events unfolding, within the American democratic republic!

Without doubt, the ruling class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, has decided to change their method of rule, from a democratic republic, to a Financial Oligarchy. In the process, they have accelerated the revolutionary motion. The opposition, to this Rule of the Oligarchy, is now broad and deep, extending to almost all classes and segments of society. Even the most dedicated, die hard defenders of capitalism, are expressing their concern. The situation is truly revolutionary! 

An Insurrection could break out at any time! The success of that Insurrection depends largely upon the ‘’class consciousness’’, the level of awareness, of the working class, the proletariat. 

Lenin went into this supremely well, in his landmark work, State and Revolution. This was written in preparation for the Great October Soviet Socialist Revolution, of 1917. That revolution was successful, because it followed the advice of Lenin.

In State and Revolution, Lenin stresses the fact that the state apparatus came into existence, with the first appearance of classes. The sole purpose of any state apparatus is to ensure the rule of the class in power, by subjugating the ‘’lower classes’’. Under monopoly capitalism, it is the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, which subjugates all other classes. To this end, they carefully established a state apparatus, in order to crush the vast majority of working people, especially the proletariat.

At the time of the forth coming American Revolution, we can first expect to see a ‘’popular uprising’’, technically referred to as an ‘’Insurrection’’, in which the ‘’common people’’ rise up and overthrow the ruling class of monopoly capitalists. But then what?

As Lein phrases it, ‘’This course of events compels the revolution ’to concentrate all its forces of destruction’ against the state power, and to regard the problem, not as one of perfecting the state machine, but one of smashing and destroying it’’. (italics by Lenin)

Lenin clearly stressed the need to smash the existing state machine, with good reason. Previous revolutionary experience- the most bitter revolutionary experience!- has revealed that if the state apparatus is not destroyed, the leaders of the revolution merely take control of that state apparatus, and set themselves up, as the new rulers! Out of the frying pan, into the fire!

Yet after the revolution, after the ruling class of monopoly capitalists are overthrown, classes will continue to exist! And rest assured, the former multi billionaires are not about to ‘’resign themselves to their fate’’. They are not about to embrace a life of ‘’manual labour’’, as that is merely a ‘’Mexican worker’’! On the contrary, they will make every effort to ‘’regain their paradise lost’’! They will resort to every lie, deceit, deception, bribery and threat, to return to power! The experience of the former Socialist Soviet Union, and former Socialist China, leave no room for any doubt!

For that reason, a state apparatus is still required, after the revolution, in order to ‘’crush the desperate and determined resistance’’ of the monopoly capitalists. But as Lenin phrased it, ‘’It is still necessary to suppress the bourgeoisie and crush its resistance. This was particularly necessary for the (Paris) Commune; and one of the reasons for its defeat was that it did not do so with sufficient determination. But the organ of suppression is now the majority of the population, and not the minority, as was always the case under slavery, serfdom, and wage slavery. And since the majority of the people itself suppresses its oppressors, a ‘special force’ for suppression is no longer necessary. In this sense the state begins to wither away. Instead of the special institutions of a privileged minority (privileged officialdom, heads of the standing army), the majority itself can directly fulfill all these functions, and the more the functions of state power devolve upon the people generally, the less need is there for the existence of this power. ‘’ (italics by Lenin)

Incidentally, this new state apparatus, which exists only under a state of Scientific Socialism, is referred to as the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. 

After the successful Insurrection, after the monopoly capitalists are overthrown, after we establish the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, we must avoid the mistakes of previous great revolutionaries, including those of Stalin and Mao. As I have gone into this in previous articles, there is no need to repeat it here. 

There is a reason for the sense of urgency, expressed by the bourgeois intellectuals, concerning the attack on the American democratic republic. The fact is that the state of California is now openly calling for separation, from the United States. As well, the state of Texas, the ‘’Lone Star State’’, may once again form a separate, independent republic, as it once was.

As I have previously documented, the state of California recently formed an alliance with the two other Pacific Coast states, that of Washington and Oregon. It is very likely that those three states will soon separate and form a separate, independent, Socialist Council Republic. 

As well, on the east coast, seven state have also formed an alliance. In the midwest, the industrial heartland of the country, yet another seven states have also formed an alliance. Two more Socialist Council Republics, soon to be created! 

Truly, the bourgeois scholars have good reason to be concerned! The American Empire is on the verge of collapse! It will soon give birth to several independent, Socialist Council Republics. It is also very likely that those Republics will form a North American Socialist Council Union. 

That largely depends upon the American Revolutionary leaders, taking the advice of Lenin. Choose wisely.
