On July 4, 2025, America marks 249 years since the Declaration of Independence while facing a political, social, and cultural counterrevolution led by President Donald Trump. The article critiques the current state of U.S. democracy, arguing that Trump’s administration represents a breakdown of bourgeois democracy and a shift toward fascism and dictatorship. Recent events, such as the passing of a significant class-war bill that cuts social programs to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, highlight the ruling class’s war on the working population.
Trump’s threats against political opponents and the establishment of a concentration camp in Florida for both undocumented immigrants and American citizens signal a drastic escalation in governance. The article also discusses Trump’s electioneering tactics and the complicit role of the Democratic Party, which has failed to adequately oppose his regime, thereby contributing to the environment that allows Trump’s policies to thrive.
Amidst ongoing social unrest and mass protests against government actions, the article calls for a revolutionary movement to overthrow the ruling oligarchy. It emphasizes the importance of building a mass socialist movement that seeks to realign society based on equality and democratic principles, responding directly to the threats posed by the current administration. The conclusion posits that a new revolution is necessary to oust the Trump regime and re-establish a government that truly represents the people.
