He won’t able to follow that election promise. During Joe Biden administration the US pump more oil than anybody else, The USA has a large reserve of oil accumulated despite the fact the Biden was promoting the electrical car and climate change policy, During Joe Biden administration oil company produced a lot of profits, and also chevron and other US company obtained license to continue pumping oil in Venezuela by the meantime both countries are attacking each other but they continue making profits with oil
The sanctions imposed on Russia did not work either, they continue pumping oil and selling them to members of the BRICS coalition, and also Indonesia became a member of BRICS and Russia is exporting oil to Indonesia. Only fools can be believe in the capitalist class

if they pump more oil the price of oil will drop and they would not make any profit, and the US is already an oil and gas exporter country. Peoples have been fooled again, and Trump will not be able to control the prices of foods and other commodities either.
The only thing that he will be able to do is to reduce the tax rates for the rich peoples. He only wanted to be president in order to avoid jail time. The US oligarchy is behind Joe Biden and Donald Trump, both have their own bosses

The latest democratic presidents have deported more workers than Donald Trump. Barrack Obama used to be called the Deporter in Chief.
Some of the immigration policies implemented by them are being applied by Donald Trump.
Ronald Reagan was a republican president that approved an amnesty for millions of foreign workers.
To deport more than 12 millions of workers requires a lot of manpower and financial resources,
The scare tactic was used during 1930 and many workers self deported themselves

Making sense of the deportation debate. by Dr Aviva Chomsky, she has done a lot of research on the history of the US immigration, and Latin America wars in Central America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviva_Chomsky
They use to teach calligraphy and dictation, and we have to write using fountain pen. Curriculum vitae, and thesis had to be handwritten. At Calazans, Bosch, and La Salle schools the graduation gift was a fountain pen. I collect fountain pen, I am a Estilophile
They are bringing Jim Crow back again, those are part of the reforms that were enacted during 1960, and a during the time of the Civil right movement, and the struggles that several groups of the working class pushed the capitalist state to implement certain reforms for employment, it does show that reforms can be implemented by any leader, and they can also be removed by any leader, they are not permanent, and several of them were implemented thru presidential executive orders.
It is just part of the attacks against the working class, and sadly many members of the working class are supporting those anti working class measures.
Many workers with family are going to lose their jobs and pensions, and it also show that pensions is just deferred salary and they are the continuation of the class struggle, most workers do not understand that those so called benefits impose a heavy tax burden on the capitalist class, and the capitalist state is for the capitalists, but many workers in the US believe that the state and the leaders are their benefactors.
Those anti working measures did not start today, they have been carried over since 1970- 1980, and they are part of the elimination of all reforms pushed by the working class during the 1930 and during the New Deal, including housing, education, medical benefits, pensions, employments, social security, retirement, unemployment and disability benefits, and the elimination of the working class unions or syndicates .
When will the working class learn that the capitalist class is their class enemy ? When are they going to stop being massochists ? It is really pathetic to see many workers supporting the elimination of their own reforms, but it also show the futility of the capitalist reforms. Only a post capitalist society will implement real benefits for the vast majority of the human beings
An Anglican/Episcopal priest asked Donald Trump to have mercy with the poor, the workers and emigrants. It has created a great controversy within the so called Christian and Evangelical community that are supporting Trump. It is something new for the US workers, but the episcopal church in other countries is working with the peasants, and some of their priests have been taken to jail

There are many Quakers working in South America and Central America with the peasants and the natives, and the coop movement of Bolivia, they did not support the US slavery and they opposed the inhuman treatment given to the Indians ( Natives Americans ) and the separation from their families
Right wings capitalists do not need fascism anymore when they have a lot of support from the world working class, and they can use the electoral process to win elections, they do not have a large opposition from the working class, right now, Donald Trump does not have a large opposition like during 2016 which started with his presidential inauguration, he is free to do whatever he wants, and the so called opposition party is already collaborating with him, and there are blacks, white, Arabs, asian and latinos supporting him, basically, it is not a problem of the color of the skin
In Chile the leftwing coalition made a big deal about fascism, they raise a lot of dust flapping their wings about the so called post fascism ( a new form of fascism ) in order to scare the workers and to win the election, and after they took the control of the state they started to collaborate with the so called fascists, and the right wingers had total control of the congress. and they were elected by the workers, and thousands of workers did not vote for anyone of them, as a sign of protest their votes was blank despite that fact that voting is mandatory
After 3 months the popularity of the president fell down to 30% and workers made a plebiscite against him, and the medication has been worse than the disease, they called themselves pro feminism and a protest of women was attacked by the police force, and a woman and a leader of the leftwing coalition became head of the army and the police, the same army that overthrew Salvador Allende, and they called it the popular army before he was overthrown, the same army used to repress the mining workers which were called anti patriotic, the same nationalist rhetoric used by the right wingers
Capitalists do not need fascism in order to manage the state apparatus which was the form adopted by capitalism in France and Germany to manage their economic/political affairs, when they can use the state infrastructure in order to manage the capitalist economy, even more, the workers are asking them to dismantle all the state agencies and they are approving dictatorial measures
There have been places where the right wings populists have wiped out completely all the opposition political parties and they have been eliminated by the massive votes of the working class, those opposition parties were eliminated because they did not carried out the promises that they made which prove that capitalism can not be reformed to satisfy the needs of the vast majority of the workers, and the right wingers used those mistakes to win the sympathy of the workers. Next time the left-wingers are going to win again, in the USA the next partial election is going to be won by the other side, workers are oscillating from side into another side
Racism, xenophobia, wars and international conflicts is produced by capitalism it is not exclusively produced by fascism, the so called anti fascist were racists, xenophobic, homophobic, and they promoted wars before the emerge of fascism. and they are as violent as the so called fascists.
The real problem is capitalism, and nobody wants to face that reality
https://www.blackagendareport.com/trump-keeps-his-promises-while-democrats-must-be-abandoned. Democrats abandoned their promises and workers punished themhttps://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/01/22/rzmb-j22.html They are collaborating and supporting the new government.
Donald Trump signed an executive order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America which means that the US will take possession of the whole region and the sea without consulting with other nations.
He does not know that America is composed of North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean islands. If the changes the name it means that the gulf belongs to all the Americas.
Probably he does not know that Mexico is also known as the United States of Mexico, and Venezuela was also known as the United States of Venezuela.
The US workers have elected a new king that is again applying the Papal Bull known as the Doctrine of discovery
The concept from the river to the seas can be applied to the USA, and in this time the slogan is from the river, to the sea and to the space, but wishful thinking or parrot talking is different to reality,
The world hegemonic decline of the USA did not start a few days ago, and it can be stopped by one individual. World market is the one that will make that decision,
There is another empire known as China who also wants to conquer the whole world, even more Mao Tse Tung wrote: When the tiger comes late to diner, the tiger wants to eat more than anybody else, and the Chinese empire is aggressive too. it is known that every new empire finds the world carved by another empires, and that creates confrontations and international frictions, therefore, the USA is not the long ranger anymore as they believe, and a multi polar world has always existed
World World Two showed that the only way to remove a world competitor is thru a war, but in that time the USA was an industrial powerful nation, able to produce and reproduce, and controlled many natural resources around the world, and it was not internally attacked by anybody else, time has changed and China is also a powerful industrial nation which possesses intercontinental missiles like the USA and Russia, and controls many natural resources around the whole world too
Joe Biden has discovered that the USA is controlled, or it is going to be controlled by an oligarchy, but it is nothing new , it has existed since the foundation of the USA, and most of the founders were members of the class, the problem is that the old false illusions can not be covered anymore, it is more open now, and they can not hide it any longer. Russia is not the only country in the whole world that is controlled and governed by an oligarchy. The so called founder fathers of the USA did not believe in the rules of the majority
This Marxist Leninist group call itself Marxist but they do not understand that the means of production belong to the capitalist class, and that workers only own their labor force, the Communist Manifesto clearly says that the workers do not have any country. Greenlanders do not own any land, it is similar to the case of the Falkland island, it does not belong to the Argentinian workers. They never learn, and continue propagating false conceptions
This is another article on the so called national debt:
“The Left Communists and their fellow travellers are like a third rate version of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, prophesying the “end is near”
The spgb would then be the church of England: “Don’t worry, one day everyone will believe” without the need for any struggle.
….obviously this is inaccurate and needlessly offensive but perhaps it is as true as your anti-left-communist nonsense…
——————————————————————————
We should listen to the point of view of others organizations. That is one of the reason why the SPGB has been called sectarian by others groups, and we should try to bring more organizations to this forum and peoples from other nations and treat them properly . I do publish articles from other organizations including the CCI. I think I am going to attend this meeting
This is Peter Hudis book on the Alternative to capitalism
There is a critiques on this book made by Socialist Studies.( Pdf download )
I think Adam Buick book on the Alternative to capitalism is more objective
The Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg
I do not hink Lenin was ambivalent, he was never a socialist/communist, Without Lenin, the Soviet Union and his followers socialism/communism would have been in a much better stand. I do not think that Marx was a Hegelian thru all his life either, I might say as CLR James: There is nothing for us on Hegel. The only thing that I care about Marx and Engel was that their were real socialist/communist, and we should have their class consciousness, and we do not need to worship them, and it is not a question of academia, or for intellectuals, or having PHD to understand them, and both made mistakes like any human beings, and Engels dedicated his life and his personal resources to propagate Marx ideas and socialism.
Kevin Anderson
Probably, I am out of topic, but I am going to answer the question briefly
News and letters committee is an organization original founded by Raya Dunayeskaya, and Peter Hudis was one of her personal secretary, and he was an Organizer along with Olga Domansky
They had difference in regard to Raya Dunayeskaya concept of organization and philosophy, the trustee of her works, and financing of the organization. Olga stayed in News and Letters committee
Peter Hudis and Kilman formed a new group known as Marxist Humanist Initiative, and later on they had differences too and Kilman continued
directing the organization and Peter Hudis and Kevin Anderson formed International Marxist Humanist organizationsBasically these are their differences:
An Open Letter to Members of the International Marxist-Humanist Organization
