Anyone focused on "defeating trump" smells like a stupid lib with zero marxist analysys. I had never heard of PSL until quite recently (and I follow US politics closely) but they keep making me dislike and distrust them.
Does this sound lib to you?
They have been around for a bit now and are one of the major forces behind a lot of the BLM/anti-cop/anti-genocide protests in many cities. What don't you like about them?
It also seems like you didn't read the article. They're not talking about electoral victory or Trump as a man, but the idea of Trump, and what he is to his followers vs what a true working class leader could be, and the legitimate threat his policies could hold towards vulnerable people
I think you should read the article. The title sounds a bit libby but the piece itself is quite good and has, i would say, overall a correct analysis.
The only thing i'd criticize is the title, because Trump is just a symptom, he's not what needs to be defeated but the entire system that put people like him, Biden, Harris, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. in positions of power. The corporate uniparty is what needs to be defeated, regardless whether it dresses itself in red or blue, whether it wears its fascism openly or disguises it with liberal platitudes.
Then again i suppose you could argue the title is clickbait to get more people to read the piece... Makes it something you could share with a liberal friend or relative and trick them into reading a real materialist analysis for once.
Same. "Working class" is a fuckin settler communist dogwhistle too, legit sick of Brian Becker's family business the Party of Sexualassault and Lyingaboutit that puts disillusioned settlers into leadership roles and when anyone calls them out on their consistent anti-black/indigenous policies you get called a wrecker for their completely useless electoral campaign that most PSL members I've met legitimately saw as the goal of the org. An illiterate black person in the ghetto that thinks the USSR is evil just because they grew up in America has better politics than this infantile american labor zionist org and does more revolutionary work taking care of their family and community
