Revolutionary Movement Emerging In Africa

Gerald Mcisaac

As the title of this article suggests, the world wide revolutionary movement has ‘’touched down’’, on the ‘’shores’’ of Africa. In particular, within the country of Burkina Faso, people are in motion, ’’rising up’’, demanding change, taking control of their lives, setting the example for other countries to follow, and not just within Africa. This calls for a little explanation. 

Burkina Faso is a rather small, land locked country, in western Africa. Ouagadougou is the capital city. The country has a population of possibly twenty four million people, many of whom, perhaps forty percent, are classified as ‘’living below the poverty line’’. It is considered to be one of the poorest countries of the world.

Even though the country is considered to be ‘’poverty stricken’’, it is also a very ‘’rich country’’, in terms of natural resources, especially minerals. These include gold, manganese, silver, copper, phosphate and diamonds. Which in no way changes the fact that most people live in grinding poverty!

According to the internet, the country is located within the ‘’Sehel Region’’, which is a  ‘’biogeographic region in Africa, the ‘transition zone between the more humid Sudanian savannahs to the south, and the drier Sahara to the north’’, a place where ‘’desert meets grass land’’. It has two seasons, a short ‘’rainy season’’, and a long ‘’dry season’’. People who live in the Sehel Region ‘’rely heavily on farming and herding’’. This is to say that most people are family farmers, or peasants, if you prefer, as farming frequently includes herding.

The Sehel Region extends from the Atlantic Ocean, in the west, to the Red Sea in the east. It passes through the countries of Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Sudan and Eritrea.

Incidentally, I should mention that those who live in Burkina Faso, refer to themselves as ‘’Burkinaabe’’. 

Also, for the benefit of those who are just now becoming politically active, the term ‘’sovereignty’’, means ‘’the power that a country has to govern itself’’, while the prefix ‘’neo’’ means ‘’new or recent’’. As well, the term ‘’infra structure’’, refers to the ‘’fixed installations that a country needs, in order to function. These include roads, bridges, dams, water and sewage systems, railways and subways, and airports and harbours’’. All according to the internet, a most valuable source of information.  

Also according to the internet, unconfirmed reports mention that the countries of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, would like to merge, becoming one country.

For many years, Burkina Faso was a French colony, which is the reason most of the people speak French. It was only in 1960, that the country was able to achieve independence. 

Now to the subject of the article.

In response to this revolutionary uprising, within the country of Burkina Faso, a great many people have risen to the occasion. One man, in particular, has distinguished himself. That man is Captain Ibrahim Traore, a former military man, a ‘’soldier turned head of state’’. He came to power in 2022, becoming the leader of Burkina Faso.

Traore is absolutely opposed to colonial influence. He has pledged to make Burkina Faso self sufficient in food production, to rebuild the infrastructure of the country, and to develop their own industry. Without any input from the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund!

What is more, he is succeeding in doing just that!

In a video, posted on the internet, titled ‘’The Ibrahim Traore Speech That Shook the World- Ten Million Views and Counting’’, Traore did a fine job of documenting the manner in which the imperialists crush and exploit their former colonies. This is referred to as Neo- Colonialism:

 ‘’Colonialism did not end, it changed shape. You  used to come and occupy our lands, now you come in established companies. You used to take by force, now you make agreements. You used to rule with the whip, now you rule with credit… the invisible, the secret deals, offshore accounts, transfer pricing tricks. Every year, 88 billion dollars in illegal money flows out of Africa…system of create corruption, bribe our leaders, open offshore accounts, promise them a life of luxury, send the children to your schools, make deals, get 50 or 99 year concessions, ask for tax exemptions, be exempt from environmental rules, ignore labour rights, control the infrastructure, take over ports, airports, railways, but only from the mine to the harbour. Do not build roads to the villages, do not bring electricity to schools. Provide security, set up private security companies, arm them, declare protests illegal, silence the media, suppress opposing voices, serve internal unrest news to international media. This is how the system works, has been for 100 years. You do not see the system …France’s system in Africa is the CFA Franc. Fourteen African countries still use French colonial currency. Fifty percent of these countries central bank reserves still sit in the French treasury. France pays negative interest to this money, so we pay France to use our own money’’. 

In this, he documented the precise manner in which the French imperialists, the bourgeoisie, exploit and crush their former colony. 

This was followed by a helpful comparison to the British system of imperialism, which he describes as ‘’more sophisticated’’, with ‘’London as the world’s money laundering centre’’. 

America was not spared. As he put it, ‘’America’s system is Africom, Africa Command, 46 military bases on the continent. Official purpose, security. Real purpose, resource control. Drones in our airspace every day. Listening devices everywhere. They say fighting terrorism, but it is not terrorists. It is peoples leaders who are targeted.’’

This was followed by a reference to the ‘’new kid on the block’’, the latest country to ‘’try their hand’’ at imperialism, which is China: ‘’They say build infrastructure, give credit, but in exchange for what? Ninety nine year port concessions, mining rights, agricultural lands, debt trap diplomacy. Ask Sri Lanka, ask Zambia, and you write about none of this. Why? Because you are not free press. You are corporate press. Your bosses are billionaires’’.

Traore just did a fine job of documenting the manner in which the imperialists ‘’fleece’’ their colonies. In fact, Lenin referred to this, in his classic work, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. In Chapter VI, The Division of the World Among the Great Powers, he stated:

‘’Since we are speaking of colonial policy in the period of capitalist imperialism, it must be observed that finance capital and its corresponding foreign policy, which reduces itself to the struggle of the Great Powers for the economic and political division of the world, give rise to a number of transitional forms of national dependence. The division of the world into two principle groups- of colony-owning countries on the one hand and colonies on the other- is not the only typical feature of this period; there is also a variety of forms of dependence; countries which, formally, are politically independent, but which are, in fact, enmeshed in the net of financial and diplomatic dependence.’’ (italics by Lenin)

Different imperialists use different methods of ‘’fleecing their colonies’’. Yet the end result is the same. The people in those colonies, such as Burkina Faso, are condemned to a life of poverty.

As well, the ‘’mainstream press’’ makes no mention of this. Of course not! Because they are not ‘’free press’’, but ‘’corporate press’’. The journalists are careful to write that which their bosses want them to write. Those bosses are multi billionaires! It is not too surprising that the journalist flatter the corporations!

At least, that was the way it used to be! But now, things are starting to change. The people of Burkina Faso, led by Traore, are rising up, kicking out their imperialist masters, taking control of their lives. Both the World Bank, and the IMF, International Monetary Fund, have been given their ‘’walking papers’’. They are ‘’persona non grata’’, not welcome! 

In fact, a ‘’specialized audit commission’’, within Burkina Faso, has documented the fact that the country of Burkina Faso has, over the course of several decades, paid back interest on loans totalling nearly fifteen times the original principle! Many of these projects, such as schools, hospitals and roads, existed only on paper!

There is a reason for the wide spread food shortages- hunger!- poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and lack of infrastructure. The loans, also known as ‘’foreign aid’’, which the World Bank and IMF, are so anxious to give, come with ‘’strings attached’’.

These ‘’conditions’’ for the loan, make sure that the African leaders who accept these loans, end up saddled with huge interest payments. Further, as a result of ‘’concessions’’, those same leaders lose control of their governments, as well as their economies. 

As Traore stated, as he declined an offer of a loan of 100 billion dollars, ‘’We will not trade our sovereignty for a lifeline. We are not beggars of the world. We are builders of a new Africa.’’

In the interest of ‘’practicing what he preaches’’, Traore led the ‘’Self Reliant Construction Campaign’’. The first project was the building of a 350 km highway, connecting the two biggest cities in Burkina Faso, that of Ouagadougou with Bobo-Dioulasso. The economists, of the World Bank, estimated that it would cost several billion dollars, and take perhaps several years to complete. 

Instead, in the space of 90 days, 300,000 people completed this highway, at an expense of a mere fifty thousands dollars! The sheer strength of the revolutionary uprising!

As Traore phrased it, ‘’A silent revolution that is shaking the entire African continent. A revolution the west does not want you to know about, because it completely shatters every rule about foreign aid and development, and what a poor nation can do, for itself. Self Reliant Construction Campaign. Mobilize, Organize, Execute, done by the people, with their own resources, no aid, no debt, no dependency.’’

There can be no doubt that Burkina Faso, led by Traore, is setting an example, for so many other countries to follow, and not just in Africa. He is urging other leaders to ‘’take control of their own destinies’’, to ‘’stop handing over their natural resources’’, to the imperialists. Instead, he is urging them to ‘’use those resources to build a better African future’’. He calls for ‘’real sovereignty and economic independence’’.  

This huge ‘’megastructure project’’, the highway, is merely the beginning. There are already plans for a great many more highways, linking various towns and villages, all across Burkina Faso. There are also plans to provide even the most isolated villages with electricity. As well, a great many schools and clinics are to be built, and wells to be dug. The goal is readily available clean water, universal literacy, full employment, and vastly improved medical services.

Once the proper infra structure is in place, then Burkina Faso can develop industry. Food processing plants can be built, taking advantage of the extensive agricultural base. Mines can be opened up, in order to utilize the abundant minerals, of which Burkina Faso is so richly blessed. This will serve to transform the ‘’economic and social landscape’’ of Burkina Faso. Without any loans from the World Bank, or the IMF!

As the imperialists have invested in certain businesses, within Burkina Faso, mainly in the field of mining, this has given rise to the creation of a numerically small working class, a proletariat, within the country.

This is significant, as the proletariat is the ‘’only consistently revolutionary class’’, according to Lenin. The influence they exert, over the rest of the population, is out of all proportion to their numbers. It is considerable.

As for those who dispute that previous statement, may I draw your attention to the experience of the Chinese Revolution, of 1949. At that time, China was primarily an agrarian nation, assuming that is the correct term. The vast majority of the people were family farmers, peasants. Most of them were ‘’dirt poor’’, poverty stricken, as they were being crushed by the imperialists, as well as the landlords. Sound familiar?

Yet over a number of years, the revolutionary motion built up, within China. This was led by the working class, the proletariat, as there was a small amount of industry, within the country. And where there is industry, there is a proletariat.

The Chinese Revolution of 1949, has gone down in history as a ‘’Peasant Revolution’’. There is some truth to this, as most of the people who took part in that Revolution, were peasants. Yet it was led by the proletariat.

Those who are taking part in the current revolution, within Burkina Faso, as well as other parts of Africa, can learn from the experience of previous revolutions. Of course, I am referring to the Chinese Revolution, as well as the Great October Russian Soviet Socialist Revolution.

At the time of each Revolution, in both Russia and China, the workers were in a minority, as both countries were primarily agrarian. Most of the people were family farmers, peasants. Yet it was the workers who led each Revolution.

At the same time, they learned that not all farmers were revolutionary. In fact, some of them, a few, are down right counter revolutionary! The Soviets referred to them as ‘’kulaks’’, or ‘’tightfists’’, in English. Lenin referred to them as the ‘’rural bourgeoisie’’. These are the farmers who can afford to hire labourers. ‘’Rural capitalists’’! 

After the successful Russian Soviet Socialist Revolution, a state of Scientific Socialism was established, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat and Poor Peasants!

The point is that Burkina Faso, as well as other countries within Africa, which are taking part in this revolution, can expect the same response, from their own ‘’kulaks’’, rich peasants, rural bourgeoisie. They are guaranteed to fight this Revolution, ‘’tooth and nail’’. 

The Russian and Chinese revolutionaries learned this, ‘’the hard way’’. To be ‘’fore warned’’ is to be ‘’forearmed’’. African revolutionaries, take note! 

On behalf of the revolutionaries of North America, as well as other parts of the world, allow me to express my warmest possible greetings to the revolutionaries of Africa. Welcome, my Brothers and Sisters, my Comrades! It is so nice to see that you have joined us, in our fight against the international imperialists! We wish you all the best!

Concerning ‘’Bombshell’’ Report By the Wall Street Journal

Gerald Mcisaac

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.

Elon Musk and the Epstein Files

Gerald Mcisaac

Elon Musk recently announced that his newly created America Party, will make the ‘’exposure of the Epstein files’’, a ‘’top priority’’. That is precisely what countless working people want to hear! This calls for a little explanation. 

Jeffrey Epstein was an American ‘’financier’’, a capitalist, a billionaire, a highly successful ‘’investment banker’’. He ‘’rubbed shoulders’’ with some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. These included Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. 

He was also a convicted sex offender. For many years, it is alleged that he ran a very profitable, child sex trafficking ring. It is further alleged that he, with the assistance of Ghislaine Maxwell, was responsible for the rape of numerous under age girls, possibly as many as nine hundred, some as young as twelve years of age!

Bear in mind that underage girls, by law, cannot give consent, so that any sexual acts, with such girls, constitutes an act of rape. 

In 2019, the state of New York charged Epstein with ‘’sex trafficking’’. In an attempt to avoid federal charges, Epstein pleaded guilty to less serious charges, and was sentenced to 13 months in prison. Despite this, while in prison, the federal government charged him with ‘’sex trafficking dozens of underage girls’’. Epstein was looking at spending the rest of his life in prison.

Then in August of 2019, Epstein was found dead in his cell. His cause of death was officially ruled a suicide.

On a related matter, in 2020, New York federal prosecutors charged Ghislaine Maxwell with ‘’sex crimes’’, saying that she helped recruit the underage girls, whom Epstein abused, sometimes participating in the abuse herself. She was convicted of multiple charges, including ‘’sex trafficking, conspiracy and transportation of a minor for illegal sexual activity’’. She is currently serving a twenty year prison sentence.

This is significant, because she ‘’knows where all the bodies are buried’’, to phrase it in popular terms. In other words, she knows the names of all the ‘’clients’’, the ‘’customers’’, commonly referred to as the ‘’Johns’’, all of whom are child molesters, technically referred to as ‘’pedophiles’’. Some of these lowlifes are among the richest, most powerful men, in the country.

Not that she is at all anxious to share that information! On the contrary, she is hoarding it! Such information is as valuable as gold! If someone really wants those names- perhaps Elon Musk?- then first, open that cell door, and grease her palm! Then watch how fast she ‘’sings like a little canary’’!

Now to return to the death of Jeffrey Epstein.

Immediately after Epstein was found dead, countless people questioned the official version of events, that of ‘’death by suicide’’. They point out that there were numerous extremely wealthy, and equally powerful men, who had a keen interest in shutting him up, permanently. After all, as all professional thieves are well aware, ‘’dead men tell no tales’’.

It does not help that certain details ‘’do not add up’’, to state it in popular terms. Such as the fact that the cellmate of Epstein was moved the day before he died. The fact that the video cameras did not cover the hallway, which included the door to his cell. As well, the location of the two guards who were supposed to be watching him, has never been explained. 

The autopsy report was also ‘’less that conclusive’’, in that it was determined that the broken bones in his neck could have been caused by either hanging or strangulation. For that reason, a finding of ‘’inconclusive’’ was warranted, which calls for a more thorough investigation. 

Instead, the investigators concluded, ‘’death by suicide’’, which makes absolutely no sense.

That is not the only thing, which makes no sense. Epstein documented the rape of countless underage girls. In fact, he frequently video taped them! His ‘’clients’’, or ‘’Johns’’, rich and powerful pedophiles, were filmed raping those girls!

Yet professional investigators, highly trained members of the FBI and the DOJ, among the finest in the country, are at a loss to identify even one of those pedophiles! 

The common people, members of the public, American citizens, are outraged. Those girls, now adults, are being denied the justice they deserve! All because the men who assaulted them, are supremely rich! Multi billionaires!

It is to the credit of Elon Musk, that he is ‘’tapping into’’ this wide spread ‘’discontent’’, as the mainstream press so delicately phrases it. In fact, on behalf of his America Party, he has thoughtfully posted an ‘’Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter’’, on his web site. This is to keep track of the number of pedophiles, clients of Epstein, who are currently being charged, as a result of the ‘’Epstein investigation’’. That counter is currently set to zero!

This is his way of mocking the lack of prosecutions, in the Epstein case. It is both effective and entertaining. Education through entertainment! Way to go, Elon Musk!

In another post, Musk stated: 

‘’Time to drop the really big bomb.

‘’Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. 

‘’Have a nice day, DJT’’.

Then in a separate post:

‘’How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?’’

An excellent question!

It is significant that, by July 9, 2025, this post had 32.6 million views! But only because Elon Musk got right to the heart of the matter!

On the subject of the ‘’Epstein files’’, a DOJ memo ‘’clarifies’’ the matter. It states that Epstein had no ‘’blackmail list’’. It goes on to say that, ‘’No further charges will be filed in the Epstein case’’. 

To even suggest that Epstein had no ‘’blackmail client list’’, is ridiculous! He was well aware that if caught, he was facing life in prison! He was equally well aware that his rich and powerful clients could keep him out of prison! It was simply a matter of providing them with the proper ‘’motivation’’. A video of them raping an underage girl was just such a motivation! This is commonly referred to as ‘’blackmail’’. 

So it is reasonable to assume that those same ‘’rich and powerful’’ people, did not wait for Epstein to carry through on his threats. They acted first, ‘’nipping the problem in the bud’’. They hired someone to kill Epstein. 

This murder was immediately followed by a thorough ‘’cover up’’. The professional investigators were first told that the death of Epstein was a suicide, and then told to investigate, and come to the proper conclusion. So the officers went through the usual motions, and promptly lied through their teeth!

Now if they could only get their lies straight!

A fine example of this is the United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi. In an interview with Fox News, she stated that the ‘’client list of Jeffrey Epstein’’ was, ‘’Sitting on my desk, to be reviewed’’.

More recently, she stated that the client list of Jeffrey Epstein ‘’Does not exist’’!  Such nonsense!

In all fairness, there can be no doubt that there are a few Americans who believe the official line, of the Trump administration, that the ‘’client list of Jeffrey Epstein’’, does not exist. Equally without doubt, few of those citizens are over the age of twelve! Everyone else is well aware that Trump and his minions are a pack of liars!

It is also a fact, that Elon Musk is doing a fine job of exposing the lies and hypocrisy, of those same people! For his own reasons, mind you! Political power! We can learn from Elon Musk!

Even though that previous statement may come as a great shock to many, I maintain that it is true. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Both Elon Musk and Donald Trump are multi billionaires, members of the same class of people, technically referred to as the bourgeoisie. As such, both are also completely reactionary. The only difference, is that Musk is far more intelligent.

The current ‘’bone of contention’’, between those two, is political power. Trump is the President, and is using that power in ways of which Musk disapproves. For that reason, Musk has started ‘’his own’’ political party, the ‘’America Party’’. 

This is to say that the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, those who comprise the class of people known as the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided! They are squabbling over the precise method of rule. 

Marx and Engels went into this in their landmark work, the Communist Manifesto. As they stated:

‘’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.’’

The conflict, between Trump and Musk, can be considered to be part of the ‘’process of dissolution going on within the ruling class’’. For that reason, we can expect a ‘’small section of the ruling class’’, to ‘’cut itself adrift’’, and ‘’join the revolutionary class’’, which is the working class, the proletariat, the ‘’class that holds the future in its hands’’. 

This is my less than subtle way, of suggesting that all of those who consider themselves to be socialists, of one persuasion or another, become active. After all, it is clear that the ‘’class struggle’’ is ‘’near the decisive hour’’. In other words, the revolution is very close!

Many of those self proclaimed socialists, but by no means all, have attended Universities. In particular, almost all members of the Democratic Socialists of America, DSA, are University graduates. As such, they have been exposed to the bourgeois distortion of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Now is the time to once again, read the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin. This time with an open mind. 

As for those who have never been to University, and most working class people have never had the opportunity, may I suggest starting with State and Revolution, by Lenin. It is readily available, on the internet. It was written in preparation for the Great Russian Proletarian October Soviet Socialist Revolution. Our next American Revolution, will closely resemble that Russian Revolution. 

As well, other works include the Communist Manifesto, as well as Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, What Is To Be Done?, and Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, all by Lenin.

A careful reading of those key works, should give all revolutionaries a basic grasp of the principles of Scientific Socialism.

The problem is that the working class, the proletariat, is not aware of itself, as a class, with its own class interests. It is certainly not aware that it is destined to overthrow the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, and crush them, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! This awareness can come only from an outside source. What better outside source than Marx and Lenin?

The Essential Works of Marx and Lenin can provide that awareness. In this way, the most advanced workers can be raised to the level of true Communists, those who advocate for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. They, in turn, can bring this awareness to the less advanced.

This stands in stark contrast to the utopian socialists, many of whom are of the opinion that socialism is a fine idea, but ‘’simply not practical’’. It is utopian socialism that is not practical!

There are others, self proclaimed Marxists, who are convinced that the revolution is bound to take place, and are determined to take over the existing state apparatus, at the time of the revolution, and set themselves up, as the new rulers. These people we refer to as ‘’revisionists’’. 

It may help to think of the approaching American Revolution, as an ‘’Act of God’’, or a ‘’Higher Power’’, if you prefer, because that is precisely the case. Previous revolutionary experience has shown that, on occasion, countless people get into motion, and make history! 

As for those who dispute that statement, may I refer you to the experience of the French Revolution. It was a completely spontaneous uprising! There were no leaders, although leaders did emerge. 

The last thing we need, is another such uprising! We need an uprising of class conscious workers! Workers who are aware of themselves, as a class, with their own class interests! That includes the necessity of overthrowing the ruling class of bourgeoisie, of smashing the existing state apparatus, and replacing it with a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! Scientific Socialism!

With that in mind, our goal is to raise the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat. We can do that by focusing on that which is of concern to the vast majority of working people. In this, as previously stated, we can learn from Elon Musk! 

Bear in mind that countless working people are paying strict attention to Elon Musk! If only because he is focusing on that which concerns them. Further, he is doing this in an entertaining manner, without resorting to vulgarity! The same cannot be said of all too many Leftist people.

Our duty is to also focus on that which concerns working people, and use this to raise their level of awareness, preferably in an entertaining manner. Also without the use of vulgarity!

We can only hope that celebrities, especially ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’, will ‘’jump on the bandwagon’’, and join the revolutionary movement, for Scientific Socialism. 

The reason I say this, is because common people, by whom I mean workers and family farmers, pay strict attention to that which celebrities say. Strange but true. 

This places an unfair burden on those people, which is unfortunate. Not that life is fair, so that is not too surprising. It is what it is.

If it is any consolation, bear in mind that the one and only alternative to monopoly capitalism, is Scientific Socialism! Further, the monopoly capitalists are determined to wipe out the middle class, and establish the rule of an Oligarchy. This could even result in a state of fascism. 

By contrast, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, to be established after the revolution, there will be a great demand for highly skilled individuals. These include scientists, engineers and business administrators. They will be paid accordingly.

Middle class professionals have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by embracing the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Feel free to get on board, and spread the message! We will know that we are getting our message across, when the following slogans become houses hold expressions:

Workers of the World, Unite! 

Scientific Socialism! 

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters! 

 

Concerning Petition To Deport Melania Trump

Gerald Mcisaac

It has recently come to my attention that a Petition has been posted, on the internet, calling for the deportation of Melania Trump, her son Barron, and her parents. 

Although this Petition may have been posted as ‘’something of a joke’’, a great many Americans are taking this quite seriously. It has since reportedly ‘’gone viral’’, garnering 7,000 signatures. For that reason, it deserves our attention. The following is the Petition:

‘’Since Trump wants to deport naturalized citizens, I believe it is only fair that Melania and her parents are on the first boat out. In addition, Melania’s anchor baby, Barron, should be forced to leave as well, because we know that his mother’s mother was born in a different country. This is part of the criteria that Trump is putting into place. Your mother’s mother has to have been born in the United States, and we know Melania’s mother was born elsewhere. If it’s good for one, it’s good for all! There should be no exceptions! On the first boat or flight out!’’

No doubt, this Petition was posted in response to the widespread opposition, to the policy of the Trump administration, of arresting and deporting countless people whom it considers to be ‘’illegal immigrants’’. This includes those who were born within the United States, to parents who are in the country illegally. Such individuals are American citizens, by birth! As per the Constitution!

Not that such little details concern Donald Trump! He is of the opinion that, if the mother was in the country illegally, or even on a temporary Visa, then the birthright citizenship is invalid. For that reason, both mother and child are to be deported! 

Of course, this policy does not apply to his immediate family! His wife Melania, the First Lady of the United States, FLOTUS, is an immigrant! She was born in Slovenia in 1970, and then moved to New York in 1996, to pursue a modelling career. She then received a ‘’Green Card’’ in 2001, based upon an EB1 application. In 2006, one year after marrying Donald Trump, she became an American citizen. After that, she sponsored her parents for a Green Card, followed by their citizenship in 2018. 

The manner in which Melania procured a Green Card, has provided the enemies of Trump, with a certain amount of ammunition. They have wasted no time in attacking her. 

In particular, the EB1 Visa, otherwise known as the ‘’Einstein Visa’’, is ‘’typically reserved for individuals with  extraordinary ability’’, especially in the ‘’fields of education, business, athletics, science, art, math or physics’’. Critics have pointed out that ‘’nude modelling’’ is not listed as one of those ‘’extraordinary abilities’’!

During a rather heated meeting, in the House of Representatives, Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett had a few harsh words for Melania. As she phrased it, rather crudely, in reference to the manner in which Melania procured her EB1 Visa, ‘’The math ain’t mathing here’’.

May I suggest that falsifying an application for an EB1 Visa may be naughty, but that does not make it a matter of a Congressional investigation. There are countless other ways to document the hypocrisy of the Republicans. 

As well, the fact is that after Melania became an American citizen, she earned the legal right to sponsor her parents. Now Trump is referring to this as ‘’chain migration’’, and he is determined to ‘’put a stop to this’’. 

Those who posted this Petition, may have done so with the best of intentions. That in no way changes the fact that it is serving as a diversion, a distraction, of the revolutionary movement, of the working class. The proletariat must become focused, on their class enemies, the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. That includes Donald Trump and the other members of that class. As well, it may include certain members of his immediate family. It does not include Melania and her son, and certainly not her parents. 

For that reason, it is our duty to protect Melania, and her immediate family. It is a matter of principle. All calls for those people to be deported, must be condemned. 

To quote an old proverb, ‘’If you want to kill a snake, you cut off his head’’. Or as Mao stated, during the Great Chinese Proletarian Cultural Revolution, ‘’Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters’’. 

With that, I can end my article, with my usual slogans, and one more:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Prepare For Scientific Socialism! 

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters!

Concerning Elon Musk and the ‘’America Party’’

Gerald Mcisaac

The former Speaker of the House, and highly respected Member of Congress, Nancy Pelosi, recently announced that, ‘’Hell must have frozen over’’. The reason she said this, is because she has always maintained that, ‘’Hell would freeze over, before she agreed with Elon Musk’’. Yet now she agrees with Elon Musk!

In fact, Elon Musk has now publicly opposed the ‘’Big Beautiful Bill’’, as Donald Trump refers to it, which he has recently signed into law. By taking such a stand, he has joined the ranks of all Members of the Democratic Party, within the Senate and the House of Representatives, in the capital of Washington, DC.

In fact, this was not nearly as unexpected as it first appeared. The American ruling class, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided. They are certainly determined to maintain their rule, but disagree on the precise method to be used. Trump has decided to cut taxes on the members of his class of multi billionaires, while at the same time, cutting social programs, including medical and food assistance, for those who need it most, the members of the working class, the proletariat.

By contrast, Elon Musk is opposed to this bill, not because it would serve to further impoverish the working class, but because it would dramatically increase the national debt, to the point that it could not be sustained! The cuts to the social programs do not go far enough!

This in no way changes the fact that his opposition to this bill, places him in agreement, or ‘’alliance’’, with the members of the Democratic Party. Temporarily, of course, and strictly on this one particular issue. 

Remarkably enough, this strange alliance is not as unusual as it first appears. In fact, it came about as a natural result of that which was predicted by Marx and Engels, in the Communist Manifesto. As they stated, this comes about when the ‘’class struggle nears the decisive hour’’, as a result of 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…’’.  

It is clear that the American ruling class is currently going through a ‘’process of dissolution’’, so that the class struggle is ‘’nearing the decisive hour’’. 

That same Manifesto tells us what to expect: ‘’A small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the class that holds the future in its hands….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’’. 

This is not to suggest that Elon Musk is about to ‘’raise himself’’, to the level of ‘’comprehending theoretically’’, the ‘’historical movement as a whole’’. That would result in Musk becoming a true Marxist! A Communist! Not about to happen! 

Yet Elon Musk is not entirely stupid! In fact, we can learn from Musk! He noticed that the bill passed both Houses of Congress by the narrowest of margins. He is determined to abolish the Two Party System, which he refers to as the ‘’One Party System’’, by starting a third party, an ‘’America Party’’. 

Musk claims that we live under a ‘’one party system’’, ‘’not a democracy’’, and that the two parties, Democratic and Republican, are ‘’two sides of the same coin’’. In this, he is  absolutely correct!

The political platform, or ‘’agenda’’ of this new America Party, includes promises of ‘’Freedom, fiscal discipline, tech friendly immigration, government efficiency, free speech protection online, and military modernization’’. 

Such an agenda is supremely vague! Deliberately so! No one knows precisely what that means! 

The only definite detail, is the fact that Musk plans to support numerous candidates, for the offices of the House of Representatives, as well as the Senate, in the forthcoming midterm elections, in 2026. All such candidates will run on behalf of the America Party. He is convinced that, even if as few as ‘’eight or ten’’ candidates are able to win election to the House, as well as ‘’two or three Senate seats’’, then that will give the America Party the ‘’balance of power’’. Once again, he is absolutely correct!

It is entirely possible that Musk has learned something from the Marxists! Not that he is about to admit this, but we cannot entirely dismiss the possibility.

Yet as Musk mentioned his intention, of having members of his America Party, run for political offices in Washington, that is most important, and calls for a little explanation. 

It was Lenin who stressed the importance of taking part in ‘’bourgeois democratic parliaments’’, otherwise known as Congresses. As he stated, in Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder: 

‘’Participation in parliamentary elections and in the struggle on the parliamentary rostrum is obligatory on the party of the revolutionary proletariat, specifically for the purpose of educating the backward strata of its own class, and for the purpose of awakening and enlightening the undeveloped, downtrodden and ignorant rural masses. While you lack the strength to do away with bourgeois parliaments and every other type of reactionary institution, you must work within them because it is there that you will still find workers who are duped by the priests and stultified by the conditions of rural life; otherwise you risk turning into nothing but a windbag….The conclusion which follows from this is absolutely incontrovertible: It has been proven that, far from causing harm to the revolutionary proletariat, participation in a bourgeois- democratic parliament, even  a few weeks before the victory of a Soviet republic, and even after such a victory, actually helps that proletariat to prove to the backward masses why such parliaments deserve to be done away with; it facilitates their successful dissolution and helps to make bourgeois parliamentarianism ‘politically obsolete’’’.  (italics by Lenin)

It is entirely possible, even likely, that a considerable number of working people will be attracted to this proposed America Party. The reason I say this, is because of their deep discontent, towards the two mainstream political parties. Most of the working people who are anticipated to join, or at least to vote, for the America Party, will do so out of a sense of frustration, of voting against the other two parties, rather than of approval of the political program of the American Party. After all, no one can really make any sense of that program!

As well, there is no true Communist Party, one which calls for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, the one and only alternative to the bourgeois parties. As no alternative is being offered, we can expect countless workers to go with something that is at least different.

Yet it is the democratic right of all Americans, to create a separate political party. For that reason, it is up to us to support Elon Musk, in his attempts to create the America Party. The working people who join that Party will soon realize that all mainstream parties serve the same class, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. This will serve to raise their level of awareness.

At the same time, it is very likely that Elon Musk is under estimating the potential of such an America Party. Countless registered voters, of both mainstream political parties, will likely vote for the America Party, not because they agree with their policies, but more as a form of protest against the other two parties. Rather than win a handful of seats, within the House and Senate, they could potentially win a great deal. Possibly a majority!

Further, a candidate of the America Party could conceivably become President! And soon! There is no need to wait for the 2028 presidential election! This could happen almost immediately!

This is not meant as a joke. There is a very real possibility that Elon Musk could soon replace Donald Trump as President! As he is a bright fellow, he may decide to hire a team of attorneys, experts in Constitutional law, and order them to challenge the 2024 presidential election, in a court of law, on the grounds that it violated the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution. 

That Amendment lays out the procedure to be followed in all federal elections. It is up to the Electors, and only the Electors, who are appointed by the states, and only by the states, to vote for the individuals of their choice, for the offices of President and Vice President.

This fact is well known to all experts on Constitutional law. As this procedure was not followed, in the 2024 federal election, it follows that Trump is a fraudulent President, and Pence is a fraudulent Vice President! A challenge, to that federal election, could result in a decision, by the Supreme Court, to that effect! This could result in the removal from office, of both Trump and Pence! 

This would have the effect of clearing the way for the office of President, for a candidate of the America Party! What better candidate than Elon Musk?

No doubt, most scholars disagree. They would argue that Elon Musk was not born in America, so that, by Constitutional law, he is not qualified to become president. True! That is a fact. Yet it is also a fact that there are legal experts who can be counted upon to find a legal loophole! Especially if a little ‘’palm greasing’’ is involved! All it takes is money!

For those who are not aware, I should point out that Elon Musk has no shortage of money. Money may not ‘’buy happiness’’, but it certainly buys everything else. That includes the presidency. Bear in mind that the votes of a mere 270 Electors, are required to become President. That is well within the ‘’financial means’’, of a man of his great wealth!

As for those who object that it cannot possibly be that simple and easy, to remove both Trump and Pence from office, may I respond that perhaps such souls have not read the Twelfth Amendment.

Further objections may be made, that the current ‘’Two Party System’’ has been in place, since the days of the Civil War. This also is true. Which is not to say that it is legal! As countless middle class intellectuals are well aware!

Those same middle class intellectuals are equally well aware, that a Supreme Court decision, to the effect that the 2024 federal election was fraudulent, could result in all federal elections, since the days of the Civil War, being declared fraudulent! For that reason, they remain silent, out of a sense of patriotism. 

By contrast, Elon Musk has every reason to be vocal, and no reason to feel patriotic. After all, Donald Trump is threatening to deport him! One good turn deserves another! Better to ‘’get even’’, than to ‘’get mad’’! What better way to ‘’get even’’ than by removing Trump from office, and taking over that same office? Once installed in office, as President, he in turn, could threaten to deport the wife of Trump!

Now to return to the statement of Nancy Pelosi, in which she agrees with Elon Musk, in his opposition to the budget bill of Trump. She should also agree that he has the right to form a new political party, as it is his democratic right. All Leftist people should support Elon Musk, on this one issue, as we fight for democracy as well as socialism.

This creation, of the America Party, is bound to attract the attention, of almost all members of the working class. Many of those workers will also join, or at least vote, for candidates of that new party. In the process, they will learn, from their own experience, that this new party is no different from the other two mainstream political parties. All of those political parties serve the same ruling class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. Those monopoly capitalists are in charge, and fully intend to remain in charge.

In this way, they will come to realize that the Scientific Socialists are correct. The one and only alternative to capitalism, is in fact, Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. 

At the same time, for our part, we can do our best to support Senator Sanders, as well as the ‘’Members of the Squad’’, in the House of Representatives. They are honest people of principle, leaders of the working class, and deserve our support. 

In conclusion, we can state that our goal is to raise the level of awareness of all members of the working class, the proletariat, including those who are much less advanced. This involves respecting their personal beliefs, as well as avoiding the use of such words as ‘’backward’’, as they may consider this to mean that we are calling them ‘’stupid’’. 

With that in mind, may I also recommend publishing some very popular literature for such workers, complete with references to sports metaphors. At the same time, avoid the use of vulgarity, as such garbage is all too common in the revolutionary movement. 

Allow me to stress the fact, that our support for Elon Musk is limited only to his attempts to defend the democratic republic. This includes his attempt to form a third party, an America Party. As well, it could include any attempt to force a ruling, by the Supreme Court, concerning the Twelfth Amendment. This we can only welcome!

At the same time, we must redouble our efforts to expose the completely reactionary nature of the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. 

The level of awareness of the proletariat must be raised. The most advanced workers must be raised to the level of ‘’conscious people’’, true Communists, those who call for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. That is the duty of middle class intellectuals, those who are aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin.

As I have gone into this, in considerable detail, in previous articles, there is no need to repeat it here. 

Bear in mind that the bourgeoisie have decided to wipe out the middle class. All businesses but five are ‘’Too Small To Succeed’’! Middle class intellectuals have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. After the revolution, after we establish a state of Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, then the services of those people will be in demand. And rest assured, they will be paid accordingly. 

We will know that we are getting our message across, that the level of awareness of the proletariat is rising, when the posters and signs contain such slogans as:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Scientific Socialism!
