The speech delivered by Trump on the eve of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence expressed both the terror gripping the capitalist oligarchy and the political conspiracy ahead of the midterm elections.

Speaking before the Mount Rushmore monument in South Dakota, Trump declared war on a substantial and growing section of the American population. There is, he asserted, “a resurgence of the communist menace in our land,” which he called “a mortal threat to American liberty... the greatest threat to our country, including World War One, World War Two, Pearl Harbor, or even 9/11.”

He continued: “Such doctrines can be given no quarter in a democracy.” Socialists, he stated, stand outside the nation: “You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both.” And he pledged, “for all to hear, that the citizens of the United States of America will vanquish communism quickly.”

The logical corollary is that socialists must be treated as enemies of the state, against whom the methods developed over a quarter century of the “war on terror” can be turned. The direct target of Trump’s fascist diatribe are those who supported and voted for members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in Colorado and New York over the past month, which Trump and the right-wing media have presented as the imminent communist takeover of America. 

In the two weeks before Trump spoke, nine young people who participated in a Fourth of July protest last year outside the Prairieland immigration detention center in Texas were sentenced in federal court to prison terms of 30 to 100 years, convicted at trial on charges including “material support for terrorism.” 

Wake up my friends. Not even one year after being elected, the socialist New York Mayor’s double standards have started. Read any history book as to how socialism ends.
