Participant“Why are we allowing the ICC to advertise their meetings here? I think it was a previous moderator who made the decision, based on the idea that we are part of the “thin red line”.”
Unless something changed after I left, belonging to a supposed “thin red line” was never a requirement for being able to post in the forum, or this section specifically. As explained in the section description; “Such postings do not imply political approval of, or agreement with, the SPGB. Inappropriate posts may be deleted.”
Knowing about meetings of other groups is a useful thing. Surely you would want to talk to these people, at least sometimes?

We publish articles in the websites of others political organizations.
I have two forum where ICC participate in the discussions
I know two leftist organizations who have translated two of our articles and they distributed them in the internet
An ex member of the ICC ( CCI ) is a member of the World Socialist Movement.

Participant“Maybe the Party should get into Tiktok or something..”
Yes the party should be doing that kind of thing. But not without some kind of connected strategy behind it.

ParticipantDonald Trump government is the culmination of many imperialist actions tried and implemented by others US president, including leaders and politicians from both political parties.
Trying to purchase or take over Greenland is not new, even more the USA has a military base in Greenland since WW2, in the same manner that they have a military base in Guantanamo since the US/Spanish war. They never left from Japan and Germany
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_United_States_acquisition_of_Greenland
George Washington also tried to take over Haiti, and they took over the Islands of Culebras and Vieques to build a military base which is contaminated with led and uranium, and the population is suffering from uncurable diseases, and the fauna has mutated
The history of the US is based on fairy tales, and anly a few historians have written the real history, and most peoples have not read them
The history of Hawaii is also based on fairy tales. That land was taken from the Hawaiian natives in order to build military bases, and white settlers were sent from the continental US to take over lands and natural resources
Panama territory was taken from the Great Colombia in order to build the canal and to establish a military base

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_United_States_acquisition_of_Greenland#:~:text=the%2021st%20century.-,Territorial%20expansion,larger%20than%20the%20Louisiana%20Purchase.The US was going to be a small nation surrounded by a French and a Spanish republic, but the capitalist expansion created a large republic controlling half of a continent.
The whole earth has been divided by the capitalist class in order to build imaginary lines and borders known as nations and they have injected a mental poison known as nationalism and patriotism
Ethnic cleansing in Gaza and removing the Palestinian is not new and Donald Trump is not the only that has promoted that plan
https://new.finalcall.com/2025/02/10/u-s-uk-were-aware-of-israels-plan-for-forced-transfer-of-palestinians-from-gaza-to-egypt-report/. To remove the Palestinian from Gaza is an old plan and the US and UK were part of the plan. History is a good tool and that is the reason why the capitalists want to eliminate historical education

ParticipantIn a socialist society we are going to inherit many things from the capitalist society, it is not going to be a perfect society but it will be much better than the capitalist society.
In regard to atomic power plant, the problem is not the atomic energy per se, the problem is the production of profits, and the capitalist do not care about contamination as long as their are able to produce profits,
In a socialist society we are going to have the choice to eliminate it or to continue using it under better conditions by the decision made by the whole world working class
I do not think that peoples leave because they have disagreement with the principles of the socialist party, many who have left continue supporting the socialist party, the problem is that they have had differences with others members, specially with members of the so called organizing committee, and we are following the same path of the socialist labor party of America

Panama was not only used to transport commodities thru the Panama Canal. It was also the country where the School of the Americas was created, and it was used to train military, terrorists and torturers, and it was a catapult to launch invasion to others Latin American countries, the so called military advisers were used to control those nations and to promote coup, military coup and palace couphttps://revcom.us/en/a/445/american-crime-91-school-of-the-americas-en.html

In DJP’s link, at around 2mins30secs we get a clear explanation from a US senator of the need for ‘humanitarian aid’ – it’s about attempting to protect raw materials supplies, trade routes etc. Who’d have thought it?
==============================================================================================================All that crap about undermining USA democracy for the peoples is false, the founders of the USA never believed in the rules of the majority, they were also a bunch of oligarchy, the domination of an oligarchy in the USA is not new, it is more than 200 years old, Joe Biden made a new discovery and he is part of that class.
To dismantle and to eliminate federal agencies is nothing new, it has existed before the time of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump is the culmination of that process, it just proves what has been said by the socialist party that taxation place a heavy burden on the profits of the capitalist class, the idea about workers being a taxpayer is just a USA fallacy to make workers believe that they are part of the capitalist state and they control the government and that politicians and presidents are their employees.
The capitalist state is the executive apparatus that exists in order to manage the affairs of the capitalist class, and a capitalist society without a state is only an illusion, and there are some anarcho capitalists who support Donald Trump, that is the reason why he is a buddy of the president of Argentina, they following the same route of Argentina. Pensions and retirements are just deferred salary and they are part of the class struggle, it is not a right or gift from the state, and entailment, they also place heavy burden on the capitalist profits and the USA is becoming a society of elderly peoples.
All that thing about Panama, Greenland, Gaza, and the USAID is only a show, a distraction from the real purpose which is capitalist expansions and struggle for world hegemony against China and Russia, and the struggle for mining and raw materials, Ellon Musk and the USA capitalists class need raw materials, specially rare earth, and the Latin America region has what they want in order to be used for the modern technological industry including space ships, electric cards, and chips. If the USA wants to apply to itself the slogan from the river to the sea in the Middle East, it will need an army that they do not have and might be defeated again like in Iraq and Afghanstan
The whole east cost of Latin America, has lithium, cobalt and other rare earth and Orinoco basin has everything that they need including gold and petroleum, as well, Joe Biden was doing secretive talks with the government of Venezuela in order to lift certain restrictions and Chevron obtained several permits to be able to export oil toward the USA, the release of prisoners is not deal made by Trump is part of the process initiated by Trump and the agreement was signed in Qatar and it was published by the Venezuelan government.
The new government of Chile made a big campaign about nationalizing the lithium and the Cooper and putting it in the hands of the peoples and it was only a show, that raw materials belong to very powerful corporations, there are rare earth in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and they are sending they new emissary and hawk known as Marco Rubio to protect those natural resources for the USA corporations and the USA is trying to become the leader on chips production. They confiscated two presidential planes of Venezuela like pirates, but it is part of their struggle against those governments that are allied with China and Rusia, and China does not control the Panama Canal, and if they do, it has been the decision of the government of Panama who owns the canal, and the USA pushed a revolt in order to build the canal when Panama was part of the Great Colombia, the used the tactic that was used in order to take the territory of Texas
It is known for many years that the USAID has double purposes, one is presenting itself as an agency of humanitarian aid, and the other one is in order to impose the USA purpose in Latin America and the third world country, to promote coup, and armed government that have been placed by them in power, and in the old days it was part of the struggle with the soviet union, against the so called communism, and against Cuba, Several journalists were also in the payroll of the USAID and now it has been exposed

Attacking Trump as a “Fake Billionaire” Is a Dead End
The real scandal isn’t that Donald Trump is secretly poor — it’s that our system let such an obvious fraud get so rich.

ParticipantHe did not have the money to place a bond bail and some companies did not want to provide insurance him. Most of his attorney fees were paid by his supporters, and probably someone else put the money to obtain a bail for his New York civil suit for frauds.
PS Peoples sometimes suffer from historical amnesia, with the emerge of large real estate business, most working class neighborhoods were completely wipeout and workers were kicked out from those places. Houses and apartments became super expensive, most of them were blacks and latinos, and some of them voted and elected the same class that kicked them out from those neighborhoods.

ParticipantThe civil suit showed that all that was inflated, he did not have the money that he said that he had. There is an articles on The Washington Post indicating that he lied in order to be reported on Forbes as a billionaire. His liabilities are more than his assets

ParticipantProbably, his parents and the atmosphere where he grew up was his biggest problem. This is the biography written by his niece. His brother was different, he wanted to be a pilot, he did not want to run the family business

ParticipantThis is a journalist who knows Donald Trump and has investigated him for more than 30 years.
He has written three books and all three described what Trump really is.
I have read them and he is very accurate, probably, more accurate than Trump niece.
Too bad people did not pay attention to his remarks, but in the USA most peoples do not read books, they prefer bottled news and commentators, and there is a big idolatry about leadership, class struggle is completely hidden within the working class, and class consciousness practically does not exist either
Trump is not a successful businessman as he has always presented himself, and he is not a billionaire either.
His father left him the money that he also made by cheating poor workers in New York during the real estate boom and during the gentrification, he is not like the traditional US capitalist family who have developed the business left by prior relatives such as the Rockefeller, Morgan, Dupont and Ford
He is not a career politician like Joe Biden, he is a con artist, and he has been associated with all kind of peoples and businesses including mafiosos in order to make money.
Trump was legal prosecuted because he was a dangerous opponent to the Democratic Party, but he has been a legendary criminal, without his political challenging he would have never been prosecuted because he has done what others have done, and are doing at the present time, putting him on jail would have open a pandora box, it was like prosecuting Al Capone for his real crimes who had judges, politicians, senators, lawyers, bankers, and policemen on his pocket.
Donald Trump is just administering a capitalist society that is falling apart from its economic base, infrastructure and superstructure, and its hegemony has been challenged by other economic powers, and he is been supported by the most reactionary sector of the US ruling elite,
He is a lame duck and he can not run again unless they amend the constitution, and they are not going to do that, and he is going to be challenged again on the partial election and his opponent are going to take control of the congress, he is like a bull in a ceramic store, and he is going to fall badly.
He is not the problem, the real problem is the actual condition of the world capitalist society
The so called founders fathers of the US created the mechanism to avoid the control of the majority
PS: This is not a progressive journalist, he is the normal US citizen who believes in the so called American dream, and think that the USA government is a government of the peoples and that presidents works for the peoples, and that president are employed by the people, but his recollection on Donald Trump are correct
