Communists of America

What is Trumpism and how do we fight it? In this talk, originally titled "Fascism, Bonapartism, and right-wing populism," Bryce Gordon explains the Marxist theory of the state, and why Trump is not a fascist but a different kind of class enemy. To beat him, we have to understand his rise and what he represents. To fully understand, we recommend a few readings: The context of Trump 2.0 & Where America is Headed: https://communistusa.org/where-is-america-going/ Bryce's article on Trumpism from 2024: https://communistusa.org/what-is-trumpism/ A brand new episode of the RCI podcast, Spectre of Communism: https://youtu.be/t_TuWkVS8pU?si=0Uq6SmhSreJYHdte ✊Join the fight against capitalism: https://communistusa.org/join 🚩 Donate to build your party: https://communistusa.org/donate 📰 Get The Communist: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/the-communist-newspapers/ 📰 Get In Defence of Marxism Magazine: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/magazines-in-defence-of-marxism/

With capitalism in its deepest crisis, some turned to Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump to challenge the status quo. As the two discredit themselves, many of their disillusioned supporters are now looking towards communism—and finding the Revolutionary Communists of America. ✊Join the fight against capitalism: https://communistusa.org/join 🚩 Donate to build your party: https://communistusa.org/donate 📰 Get The Communist: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/the-communist-newspapers/ 📰 Get In Defence of Marxism Magazine: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/magazines-in-defence-of-marxism/

One crisis is layered upon another: Constitutional crisis, recession fears, and tariff chaos. Trump's pro-worker charade won't stand the test of events. The RCA is the only party arguing for consistent, class-independent politics. Our forces are growing, and so is the urgent need for our message. ✊ Join the fight against capitalism: https://communistusa.org/join 🚩 Donate to build your party: https://communistusa.org/donate 📰 Get The Communist: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/the-communist-newspapers/ 📰 Get In Defence of Marxism Magazine: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/magazines-in-defence-of-marxism/

The widespread sympathy for Luigi Mangione has starkly revealed the enormous amount of working-class anger that has built up in American society. But one thing is necessary to ensure the victory of our struggle: the urgent building of a revolutionary party, armed with the ideas of Marxism. ✊ Join the fight against capitalism: https://communistusa.org/join 🚩 Donate to build your party: https://communistusa.org/donate 📰 Get The Communist: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/the-communist-newspapers/ 📰 Get In Defence of Marxism Magazine: https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/magazines-in-defence-of-marxism/

This week we republish an episode from our international podcast: Against the Stream: Trump’s dramatic return to the White House has thrown the liberals into complete panic and confusion. They have flung whatever insults they can at him: from semi-fascist, to fascist, to neo-fascist. To explain how Marxists should understand and approach these phenomena, Alan Woods, the leading theoretician of the Revolutionary Communist International, joined Hamid Alizadeh for another episode of Against the Stream, the weekly current affairs podcast of the RCI. This episode premiered on YouTube. Tune in every Thursday at 6pm GMT.

Despite the decline of organized religion in recent years, there has also been a concurrent rise in mysticism and “New Age” beliefs. How should communists approach this belief with people that we encounter in our work? 📖 Lenin "The Attitude of the Workers’ Party to Religion": https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1909/may/13.htm 📖 Marx on religion "A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right": https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1843/critique-hpr/intro.htm 📖 Engels's letter to Conrad Schmidt on the development of ideas: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1890/letters/90_10_27.htm ✊ Join the fight against capitalism: https://communistusa.org/join 🚩 Donate to build your party: https://communistusa.org/donate 📰 Get The Communist: https://communistusa.org/subscribe/ 📕 Get all the books here: https://www.marxistbooks.com/  

The liberal world order that has been in charge for decades has been put in the back seat by Donald Trump. His rule is accelerating the decline of capitalism and communists must organize for the crises to come and prepare for revolution. ✊ Join the fight against capitalism: https://communistusa.org/join 🚩 Donate to build your party: https://communistusa.org/donate 📰 Get The Communist: https://communistusa.org/subscribe/ 📕 "Colossus: The Rise and Decline of US Imperialism": https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/books/products/colossus-the-rise-and-decline-of-us-imperialism

The liberals are incapable of stopping Trump, neither party can halt the crisis of capitalism, and both are representatives of the billionaire imperialists.

The ferocious blaze that terrorized America’s second largest city is a product of the capitalist system in terminal decline. Private ownership and production for profit put the interests of a tiny capitalist cabal ahead of the interests of humanity as a whole. ✊ Join the fight against capitalism: https://communistusa.org/join 🚩 Donate to build your party: https://communistusa.org/donate 📰 Get The Communist: https://communistusa.org/subscribe/ 📕 Pre-order "Colossus: The Rise and Decline of US Imperialism": https://www.marxistbooks.com/collections/books/products/colossus-the-rise-and-decline-of-us-imperialism

Donald Trump is back in the White House promising to end the decline of America.
