Issue 49 of In Defence of Marxism magazine, which cuts through the bourgeois propaganda surrounding World War Two, is out now!

Whoever wins the election, we will suffer

The liberal elite looks on Trump’s actions with abject horror. They denounce him as an “imperialist”, an “oligarch” and worse. But one should not throw stones in a glass house.

Trump, with his populist indictment of liberalism and its organized system of hypocrisy, is jeopardizing the illusions that capitalist rule depends on. He is exposing the dictatorship of Capital under which we really live.

One can sense panic and demoralization on the left. Trump’s election and the rise of right-wing populist copycats like Pierre Poilievre in Canada could give the impression that there is a shift to the right in society in general. That would be to misunderstand the situation.

As Communist Revolution wraps up its first year of existence, let’s take a look at some of the most important material we were able to put out there.

Our ruling classes are ready to drag us all into war to protect their imperialist interests.

The same capitalist forces which support Israeli imperialism also oppress and exploit workers here. 

“May you live in interesting times”: this saying, supposedly taken from an ancient Chinese curse, sums up our epoch. Anyone who imagined they could live a simple, quiet life is in for a disappointment.
