We see no truly serious mass anti-fascist organizing to oppose Trump\u2019s strategems. The Democrats never will. Their first definition, we have said and here repeat, is partnering with the \u201cother\u201d party, their friends across the aisle, in managing the dictatorship of the capitalist class. To vote for them is to validate this setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fascism is the mortal enemy of the working class. For the capitalist class it is an option. A matter of tastes said Stalin\u2019s pet boy Molotov in 1939, as the misleadership of the world\u2019s worker masses slid helplessly toward world war.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, revolutionary workers who identify as Anti-Fascist want nothing to do with Pelosi and Biden&nbsp; (we want to scrape them from our boots as just another pile of dog droppings accidentally stepped in), but the likes of the League for the Revolutionary Party (LRP), Jacobin, the Communist Party (CPUSA), Oakland Socialist Blog, etc. just keep stepping in it. The real task is to win the vanguard elements away from their incessant excuse making and class collaboration treadmill and to the task of fighting for the political independence of the working class.&nbsp; Every four years we hear, \u201cthis is the most important election of the epoch, we have to make a tactical choice,\u201d&nbsp; by one or another of the variety of&nbsp; sects falling prey to petty bourgeois impotence. This year the list is almost all-inclusive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpusa.org\/article\/from-uprising-to-elections-and-beyond\/\">CPUSA<\/a> sleaze their way around their capitulation:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;But for that to happen, it\u2019s got to be organized and connected to the election campaign. Trump and the GOP have to be defeated in November because McConnell\u2019s Senate is now blocking everything.\u201d &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpusa.org\/article\/from-uprising-to-elections-and-beyond\/\"><em>Joe Sims, Co-Chair of the CPUSA<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CPUSA goes on to try to sell political support for the Democratic Party of imperialism as some type of <a href=\"https:\/\/live-cpusa.pantheonsite.io\/article\/call-to-action-vote-against-fascism\/\">struggle against fascism<\/a>:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the Communist Party\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpusa.org\/article\/people-power-at-the-ballot-box-and-beyond\/\">Political Action Commission<\/a> states, \u201cThe 2020 elections aren\u2019t about getting Biden elected as president. This is mainly about defeating a right-wing agenda in the United States.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is nothing but a call for class collaboration, which the CPUSA has been engaged in for decades (longer than most of us have been alive.)&nbsp; For all practical purposes they have been an appendage of the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, the political arguments of the CPUSA on the 2020 elections are reflected by many other ostensible socialists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>History teaches us that facism and social reaction will not be defeated through the ballot box, but through the mobilization of the working class and oppressed on the streets in a fight against the capitalist system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We take them at their word, the CPUSA\u2019s published line, even though Nan Scott on Labor History Facebook page and Alan Maki on SDS and 1960s&nbsp; page are both calling for a labor party. Are they speaking out of both sides of their mouths?&nbsp; One for the activists so they do not alienate their liberal friends who they walk to the polls and one for the militants who actually read Lenin. Are there even any CP candidates anywhere?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we are witnessing on the left today is a repeat of the Dimitrov line, a zig to the right without a Stalin to tell them to zag to the left. The descent into Menshevism\u2026an amazing alliance in retreat from their former Stalinophobia, as the LRP and other 3rd camp types campaign for Democrats along the same line as the CP, RCP,&nbsp; and anarcho-Democrats. This is another retreat from the fight for an independent workers party that identifies the true nature of the class forces in play. This is another fabrication of a \u201cprogressive\u201d wing of the Capitalist Class which today they find around Biden. Biden whose historic role as a center imperialist is made light of&nbsp; by his friends on the left in the run up to the elections.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dialectics, they tell us, requires a more nuanced response to the election. The workers we are told should make a tactical alliance with a wing of the capitalist class centered around Biden, regardless of their actual program, and engage&nbsp; in an all out effort to defeat the main threat to democracy, today- i.e. Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the re-packaging of the illusion that democracy actually exists in nation states which historical materialists define as bourgeois democratic. Historical materialism shows there is no actual democracy in the capitalist state. There is only democracy for the capitalist class. The legacy of the great compromises of the Northern merchant class and the Slavocracy in the US Constitution are the electoral college, the Senate and the Supreme Court.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With capitalism reeling from economic and pandemic crises, with hundreds of thousands of workers and youth marching for Black rights and against racist cop terror, with workers strikes breaking out and with workers and youth becoming disillusioned with the Democrats and&nbsp; interested in socialism, the Democratic Party \u201csocialists\u201d look not to the working class, but to a tactical alliance with a supposedly \u201cprogressive\u201d wing of the bourgeoisie.&nbsp; It is the job of actual socialists to address the immediate felt needs of the masses and build a class-independant, comprehensive programmatic expression of the revolutionary historical role of the one productive social class. This will either be the fighting workers\u2019 labor party, or a revolutionary workers\u2019 party on Bolshevik lines. History, the actions of flesh and blood militants will decide which. In either case, this will be formed as a component section of a worldwide revolutionary socialist party, a new International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NGO fed and Democrat led illusions, in legislative and judicial reforms, are the result we see in the mass movements of the work of the back-steppers running from the communist program and trying to hide in the marsh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our role in the present is to break the illusions in the Democrats while the rightward moving \u201csocialists\u201d are reinforcing these illusions, even as the rightward drive is cemented by the Democrats\u2019 nomination of a former DA and Attorney General. As the remaining habitability time of the planet wanes, the petty-bourgeois class opts for wasting it with their illusions OR in last ditch defence of the capitalist order, swelling the ranks of the fascists.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you vote for Biden your vote of approval stands for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"font-size: 18px\"><li><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Continuing role of US imperialist forces in the Middle East.
