"The proletariat can only pit its full force against imperialism under the banner of Socialism. [It] is powerless against imperialism as long as its mass organizations stand by opportunism. [It] will be all-powerful when it takes to the battlefield of Social Revolution" - Trotsky

Millions want an end to war, the defense of democratic rights and a decent life. The ruling class, and the union apparatus, are terrified of what the vote anticipates.
Quote from the Perspective “After the US midterms: What next?”: Popular sentiment is far to the left of the Democratic Party. Millions of people want an end to war, the defense of democratic rights and a radical improvement in their conditions of life. Every faction of the ruling class and, one must add, the trade union apparatus, are terrified of the radicalization expressed in the vote and what it anticipates.

The opposition that found expression at the polls is only the beginning. The United States is entering a period of escalating class struggle.
Quote from the Perspective “After the US midterms: What next?”: The opposition that found expression at the polls will not remain on electoral grounds. The United States is entering a period of escalating class struggle.

Wall Street is celebrating the Democrats’ victory. The bankers know their interests are not under threat.
Quote from the Perspective “After the US midterms: What next?”: The bankers are neither naive nor sentimental. They know that the Democrats are not going to implement a policy of social reform, let alone socialism. If they believed the election posed any threat to their interests, they would not be celebrating.

Millions voted to repudiate Trump. But the Democratic Party is a party of Wall Street, and what it fears most is that opposition growing from below.
Quote from the Perspective “After the US midterms: What next?”: The Democratic Party is a party of Wall Street and the ruling class, and what it fears above all is opposition to Trump from below.

Eugene V. Debs (1855) – “If international revolutionary Socialism does not stand uncompromisingly for the working class and the exploited and oppressed masses of all lands, then it stands for none and its claim is a false pretense and its profession a delusion and a snare.”

Just as we predicted. There are far more CIA agents and former special forces officers in the Democratic caucus than faux "socialists." The fauxialists are there to provide a cover for the CIA operatives and capitalist carpetbaggers. They will give Trump an amnesty.

Jeffries: "I haven't had a single member of the House Democratic caucus talk to me about impeachment. We've been relentlessly focused on affordability and accountability."

Why do you believe that Dems want to end the war? They've been criticizing Trump, from the right, for not fighting the war intelligently. D-Sen Chris Murphy: “I and my colleagues will be ready to provide the funding to replenish the stores of munitions.” wsws.org/en/articles/2026/08…
