In 2019 I gave a lecture on the subject of fascism: explaining its political function as a capitalist regime of unrestrained war on the working class and dictatorship. The lecture’s warnings are intensely relevant today.

The focus of Aidan Beatty’s work, stretching back to his dissertation, has been to equate Israeli Zionism with Irish republicanism—that is, the ideology of pro-imperialist colonizers (Zionist settlers) with that of a colonized people (the Irish).

While the full details are still emerging, the disaster, the political infighting and cover-up which have followed it already expose and intersect with a colossal political crisis and instability in the United States.

US democracy is so decrepit that it proved incapable of holding Trump accountable for his Jan 6, 2021 attempt to overthrow the Constitution. He was protected by the Democrats, who cleared the path for the 2025 "peaceful transfer of power" to the Führer of the American oligarchy.

The mantra of Trump 2.0 is: “If we stop all reporting on infectious diseases right now, no one will know what is killing them.”

The @nytimes declares: "No one in the world of politics or culture has emerged with a cogent and consistent anti-Trump message since his victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris." The NYTimes means the world of CAPITALIST POLITICS AND CAPITALIST CULTURE. But beyond that "world", embedded in interests of the ruling class, there is SOCIALIST politics and the powerful culture of the Marxist-Trotskyist movement, expressing the interests of the international working class. A "cogent and consistent anti-Trump messages" can be found in the World Socialist Web Site.

In a grotesque example of life imitating fiction, Trump appeared as the incarnation of President Buzz Windrip, the brutal media con man and demagogue imagined by the great American writer Sinclair Lewis in his anti-fascist novel It Can’t Happen Here.

Karl Marx famously declared that history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. In the second inauguration of Donald Trump, this aphorism could be modified: the first time as farce, the second time as catastrophe.

Socialism, which requires the organization of the working class as an independent political force, is the necessary response to the dictatorship of the capitalist oligarchy. Those who are prepared to take up this fight should contact the SEP: 7/7
