So, why is it that Marxist organizations is the U.S.. are not not loudly and persistently opposing Trump? In fact, the opposite is true. They are doing nothing.
Some reasons:
1) The foolish belief that Trump somehow opposes the Establishment. That the enemy of my enemy must be my friend. Even if he is a corrupt idiot who would cheerfully put them in prison.
2) Befuddled by their own ideology, they have no idea what to do now. Millions are rising up in protest, yet it is the middle class too, not just the working class. This confuses them because it is not what the sacred texts say should happen.
3) Complicit with, co-opted by Russia Active Measures, who see them as useful idiots? Russia probably wouldn’t even have to try hard.
For example, PSL loves making useless solidarity statements, studiously ignores Trump /Russia. Leader Brian Becker has a Sputnik show. Hmm.
House organ for the academic Left. Fiery rhetoric! Never actually organizes anything. Nothing on Trump. Why it’s almost like they are deliberately ignoring it.
Worker’s World also avoids Trump / Russia completely. Many stirring statements though. The more obscure the cause, the better.RCP as always features gushing commentary about whatever their cult leader Bob Avakian is saying this week. Comically useless.RCP as always features gushing commentary about whatever their cult leader Bob Avakian is saying this week. Comically useless.SWP has been around for decades. Their newspaper, The Militant, manages to completely avoid reporting on Trump and his corruption.I actually like DSA. However, there’s nothing here about opposing Trump either
