Trump and Hegseth assembled the military brass, told them they will be fighting the enemy within, and that America cities will be training grounds for the use of deadly force. The army is being converted into a US version of Hitler’s brutal Waffen SS. 1/

Stephen Miller is Trump’s Josef Goebbels; Hegseth is his Reinhard Heydrich. 2/

The Socialist Equality Party has issued a statement: “Stop Trump’s military deployment to Portland! Mobilize the working class against dictatorship!” wsws.org/en/articles/20…

The deployment of troops to Portland comes just three days before the mysterious meeting of generals and admirals in Washington, D.C. called by Secretary of Civil War Hegseth. It is obviously related to Trump’s “Operation Dictatorship”.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland, authorizing the use of deadly violence, is a criminal assault on the American people. Can there be any doubt that this government is engaged in a conspiracy to obliterate democratic rights and create a police state?

The Trump administration is establishing a presidential dictatorship, based on the military, police, paramilitary forces and fascist gangs. The Socialist Equality Party advances this revolutionary program to struggle against Trump and the degenerate oligarchy which he represents.

We call on all workers and young people who agree with this perspective to join the SEP, mobilize the power of the working class, defeat the conspiracy of the oligarchs and fight for a socialist future without fascism, genocide and war. wsws.org/join

The WSWS writes in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk: "It is politically appropriate to condemn the killing, which accomplishes nothing progressive and actually aids the efforts of the Trump White House to attack democratic rights and erect a police state. But that is…

Immediately adapting to the fascistic right, the NY Times posted an editorial headlined "America Mourns Charlie Kirk." Apparently realizing that this was not going over well with its readers, the Times has changed, without explanation or acknowledgment, the headline.

Anyone with illusions in the Democratic Party should listen to this crazed, Russia and China-hating war-mongering speech by former CIA agent and now Michigan senator, Elissa Slotkin. She calls for a new "Manhattan Project" to prepare for "the wars of the future."

Last night Trump hosted a White House dinner for billionaire corporate owners, where they lavished praise on his service to their interests. What a powerful confirmation of the Marxist analysis of the relationship between fascism and big business! youtube.com/watch?v=vxme2F…

wsws.org/en/articles/20… This is a superb analysis of the artistic and historical significance of F. Scott Fitzgerald's (1896-1940) masterpiece. A century after its publication, The Great Gatsby remains a powerful critique of the moral bankruptcy of American capitalism.

"Silence implies consent." Three weeks have passed since Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington D.C. and threatened Chicago and other cities. In all that time, the Democratic Socialists (DSA) and its publications have written virtually nothing. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

The Democratic Party’s complicity with the drive to dictatorship at home is complemented by its support for the war against Russia in Ukraine and its backing of the genocide in Gaza. The DNC defeated a resolution opposing US military aid to Israel. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Among the working class’s most powerful weapons is the revolutionary legacy of the American Revolution and Civil War. These struggles show that no entrenched power—monarchies or slaveholders or capitalists—is beyond the reach of revolution. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Whatever their hypocritical verbal complaints about one or another massacre carried out by Israel, the imperialist governments in Washington, London, Paris and Berlin have enabled and continue to support the Gaza genocide. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

This is the lecture I gave on August 2nd at the Socialist Equality Party's international summer school. I focused on the historical and contemporary significance of Security and the Fourth International, the ICFI's investigation into the 1940 assassination of Leon Trotsky.

On August 16, I participated in an online interview at an event held on the island of Büyükada, off the coast of Istanbul, commemorating the 85th anniversary of the assassination of Leon Trotsky, leader of the October Revolution and founder of the Fourth International. I replied…
