Millions
of Americans, including my three daughters, turned out in dozens of
cities for the Women’s March yesterday, much more than the people who attended
the inauguration. The Black Block was out showing what must become routine; the
trashing of corporate U.S. institutions.
I commented: “If
these marches against Trump only result in the next president being a Democrat,
they're a waste of time. Only a socialist president can turn things around
domestically, improve common people's lives, and stop U.S. imperialist policy
in the world.” The bottom line is that if Hilary Clinton was elected, the
crowds would not have been so toxic to U.S. policy, a policy that doesn’t
change no matter who is manipulated into its presidency.
Trump is the
real face of racist, misogynist, capitalist U.S. with its corporate controlled
media; Americans better face it. Better the devil you know than the devil you
don’t know. Charter schools and the looting of public funds for private
investors is a Democrat undertaking. Outsourcing sweatshops overseas, polluting
the world, and dismantling union power are nonpartisan, too. Threatening the
world with Christian millennialism manifest destiny will have to be stopped; it
won’t stop of its own volition. It will not stop until the anarcho-syndicalist
socialist revolution in the U.S. and the world eradicates its tendency.
Let the CIA,
FBI, Senate, Congress, and Supreme Court assist Trump to bring out the storm-troopers
and SWAT teams to force the showdown. The revolution cannot be done peacefully.
U.S./NATO imperialism is ruthless; it knows no peace. It must be fought back.
Every one of the million marchers must become a Black Blocker for direct
action; there is no other way to stop the violence of the ruling class.
Here is
what I wrote back to a friend who joined the Women’s March in New York:
Love that you
went marching, too. While all I do for the movement now is donate funds, write
blogs, and share Facebook posts, you are on the front line with my
three daughters, two in Pittsburgh and one in a Portland march. If
it took a Trump to awaken the masses to the peril that every administration has
imposed on the common people, immigrants, natives, slaves, and women, let the
CIA/FBI and its corporate ruling class know that "the people" won't
go down without a fight.
I copied
it, along with the words and music to Bread & Roses, to my curmudgeon
cousin in response
to his silly wondering what for did they march. He would complain if they
organized, too. I hope Trump goats the ruling class to make many false moves
that agitate the people; better than a suave Obama or Clinton that put everyone
to sleep while they dismantled democracy and started wars. Until the deaths of the
ruling class outnumber those that their bombs and guns have killed, the people’s
war must not end.
