The article critiques President Donald Trump’s administration, claiming it is systematically working towards establishing a dictatorship in the U.S. following the killing of Charlie Kirk. It describes a roundtable meeting on antifa at the White House, which included far-right extremists and was characterized by threats against political opposition. Trump and his officials labeled protests as part of a “left-wing terror network” and discussed designating “antifa” as a foreign terrorist organization, despite its lack of formal organization.
The presence of neo-Nazi figures at the meeting and Trump’s comments, such as “we got rid of free speech,” illustrated a dangerous shift towards fascism, where opposition to the administration is equated with terrorism. The article highlights the failure of the Democratic Party and media to respond adequately to this escalation and discusses the need for a unified working-class movement to defend democratic rights. It argues that the Trump administration’s actions represent a broader attack on workers’ rights and social programs, predicting increased repression against dissent. The Socialist Equality Party advocates for coordinated resistance and emphasizes that the struggle against dictatorship is linked to the fight against capitalism.
