Gustavo Gutierrez
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/23/gustavo-gutierrez-champion-of-christian-liberation-theology-diesWhile Gutiérrez is the central figure, other influential theologians associated with liberation theology include Juan Luis Segundo (Uruguay), Jon Sobrino and Ignacio Ellacuria (El Salvador), and Leonardo Boff (Brazil).
Even Trotsky was not a workers leader, or a Marxist theoretician, and his main thesis is only applicable to economic backward countries which also conducts toward state capitalism as the Soviets did, and the Bolsheviks adopted his thesis of the permanent revolution, and it is an anti marxist theory
One of his best biographers known as Isaac Deutscher wrote that the ascent of Joseph Stalin to power was because Trotsky lost popularity within the Russian working class, and curiously Stalin knew the real definition of socialism/communism and Trotsky never defined it properly.
All followers of Trotskyism have been apologist of state capitalism and the dictatorship of the vanguard party to lead and Lenin himself did recognize that it was only applicable to Russia, and at the end of his life Lenin also recognized that there was not any difference between the bureaucracy of the soviet state and the old czarist state

Global market react to Trump tariff pause.
——————————————————————-
U.S. stocks slumped on Thursday, giving up a chunk of the spectacular gains seen in the previous session, as some of the relief after President Trump paused many of his tariffs started to dissipate.In this photo, President Trump stands outside the White House with a yellow race car and several race car drivers and team owners.

Trump says he will pause tariff hikes for 90 days, but not for China
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended down 2.5% after surging close to 8% on Wednesday. The S&P 500 fell more than 3%, while the Nasdaq lost just over 4% after each index had also soared a day earlier.The declines on Thursday underlie how much uncertainty still remains about what Trump will do about tariffs given that he left others in place, including a 10% tariff on most countries. He also ratcheted up his tariffs on China to 145% so far in this term when including all that he has already imposed.

The president of the USA might be the most powerful man over the earth, but he can not control the market system, it is the opposite way, the market system control and regulate all leaders

The announcement yesterday by US President Trump of a 90-day pause in the implementation of his so-called “reciprocal tariffs,” ostensibly to allow negotiations to take place, is another expression of the deepening economic and financial crisis of American imperialism and its state.
The move came amid growing signs that the entire financial system—in particular the US Treasury market—was just days or even hours away from a meltdown on the scale of the crises of September 2008 and March 2020, or potentially even greater.

The bonds yields forced them to pause the tariffs.

According to this, the Trump administration is pursuing the same policy of restoring manufacturing as long advocated by the trade union movement and Labour Party leftwingers here.
————————————————————————————————————–They are dreaming about a past that is already gone and it will not comeback. The old days when the USA ( and England ) was an industrial powerhouse, and it was the master of the universe is already gone, and its domination around the whole world is declining, and it is isolating itself
During Trump first term some companies comeback, or establish a dual status having factories in the USA and factories in China, but that situation has been eliminated too by China, and also this time Trump is a lame duck, he is one time president and he can not be elected again only if they change the constitution or establish himself as a dictator thru an executive order, and probably, the democrats and some independents groups are going to win the next partial and presidential election
Moving factories from China, Vietnam or Mexico cost a lot of money, and it takes time to be done, and due to the uncertainty of the Tarif many companies are not going to take the risk by moving their operations, they would prefer to stay where they are located and based on a global economic there is not such thing as a national economy, in some way, the USA is only an assembler
That is only the pretext, it is all geopolitical and it is part of the confrontation between the USA and China, and China is holding the frypan by the handle, and their tentacles are extending all over the earth, and they are monopolizing more than 85%
of the mining of rare earth which is needed for modern production

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/04/09/wwkv-a09.htmlThe USA government paused the tariff for 90 days and wants to negotiate with every individual country, it does show that many corporations are not going to move the operations without been sure that the tariff is going to continue. The USA has imposed tariff to several countries that are having commercial trades with China

Contradictions within members of the capitalist class . Ellon Musk against the so called economic adviser of Donald Trump
It is not only Musk vs Gates, it is Ellon Musk against them. The tariff war is hurting the profits of some members of the capitalist class, some members of the capitalist class voted for it, but they did not expect that it was going to be against against all capitalist countries
The economic crisis existed before the Tariff. The real crisis is over production. When the shit hits the fan it will spread all over
Are they really prepared to survive in their underground bunkers? They’d have to take proles with them to breed post-nuclear generations of wage-slaves to try and mould a semblance of capitalist society in a post-nuclear toxic wasteland. A ludicrous notion if there ever was one. Or do they envisage an underground existence in perpetuity?

They are not safe either. There are Bunkers buster bombs that are able to demolish any kind of concrete and metal structure. They were used in the war in Iraq and many peoples were killed
