How to Overthrow the Government

Product Information

Trump and his party brainwashed tens of millions of people with a proposition that could only lead to violence. What choice is there but rebellion against a pretender to the throne? Sedition, for Trump’s true believers, became the patriotic choice. Meanwhile, those rare Republicans who did stand up against this attempt to destroy American democracy are the only ones dealing with real political consequences from their party, facing primary challenges, being forced into retirement, or being stripped of their leadership positions. Republican officials who were unwilling to use their office to overturn the election results are seeing challenges from Trump devotees who will, should the opportunity arise again. If we keep to this orientation, we will be able to take advantage of the excellent situation ahead and provide the working class the leadership it needs to seize state power and establish socialism. Many politicians and pundits initially saw Trump’s refusal to concede as pathetic, delusional, and mostly harmless. “What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time?” a senior Republican official asked The Washington Post in early November, two days after the election was called for Biden. “No one seriously thinks the results will change.” It is under these rapidly developing conditions that the diehard representatives of the labor aristocracy, like Meany, Fitzsimmons, and the Abel/McBride gang, are being shaken off their pedestals after twenty years of unchallenged reign. Even Arnold Miller is being exposed after only brief 6 year stint as a “reform,” second generation, sellout misleader. ( Workers Viewpoint, May 1978, p. 27)

An Istanbul court has sentenced a prominent Turkish businessman and philanthropist to life in jail without parole in a landmark case — a verdict campaigners described as an “outrageous” blow to human rights. It is so much fun get to see everyone with their families and dressed in Halloween costumes. 8. The types of candy and food that are popular during Halloween time are candy corn, caramel apples and many other fun foods.

Both songs follow the hits “Dreams” and “Linger” which also appear on the band's debut. 8. “Twenty One” from “No Need To Argue” I see a more optimistic explanation, less contingent on the happenstance of personality. During Trump’s attempted coup, political actors did the right thing at the moments when the power of decision was directly in their hands. The Republicans who stayed true to the law, who chose to follow their duty, were the ones who had actual power to move events. Putting your name on a brief or a letter is a kind of performance—“a cheap act of virtue signaling, or vice signaling, depending on your perspective,” as Nathaniel Persily, a Stanford law professor, put it to me. Voting can be symbolic, too, when a resolution has no chance of passage. But when it came to concrete, meaningful steps—when state officials could actually have reversed an outcome by decertifying a vote or appointing Trump electors—there were enough Republicans who would not cross that line. T his hypothesis has limits. Conscience restrained the powerful this time, but power also corrupts. If the election had been closer, or if a judge had given legal cover, or if one of the legislatures—Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia—had gone first, the temptations and pressures on others would have been harder to resist. More than once, but for circumstance, Trump’s efforts might have found traction and momentum might have broken his way. The embattled attorney general of Texas, Ken Paxton, filed an absurd lawsuit demanding that the Supreme Court void the election results in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, four states Biden won. The large majority of the Republican delegation in Congress, as well as nearly 20 Republican state attorneys general, supported this attempt to get the conservative-controlled Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 election results by fiat. The justices declined to crown Trump—but the amount of support this bid received from Republican elected officials is itself alarming. This was – and in many cases still is – a radical idea. But it is based on the philosophy that people have rights that no government can grant or deny.

In the third world the dominant classes rule directly with military force. There is no bourgeois democracy, no labor aristocracy, nor any poverty pimps to dupe the masses and suffocate their struggles. All there is is naked force. Consequently the masses’ struggle is sharper and more focused against the ruling classes. The situation is generally always destabilized and the revolution’s target is clearly defined. The third world has no social props, only military props and therefore the main form of struggle is armed. Precisely because of this questioning, this thoroughgoing search for answers, the partial struggles, the different “streamlets of discontent” do not hold the same interest and importance they once had. During the temporary stabilization the questions were economic questions–more wages, better working conditions, winning a particular strike, etc. And while these questions still exist and in fact intensify because of the economic crisis, they are dwarfed by the larger questions of the workers’ whole lives and their future direction. The economic struggles that do go on now assume a whole new light. Strikes are at an all-time low; but the workers that do strike stay out longer, much longer than before. They are also much more militant and violent as in the Washington, Indiana strike where the workers blew up the mayor’s house for assisting the scabs. This single strike, which is becoming more typical, shows the working class’ desperation, their growing awareness that they cannot live in the old way. The official guidance from Biden’s camp was to keep calm and carry on. The election was over; Democrats would not dignify Trump’s attempt to contrive a debate. They took for granted, or anyway said they did, that the results would be certified and formalized by the usual constitutional means.In this article, I would like to discuss some of the fabric and characteristics of U.S. society as compared to the third world and how this affects our preparation in periods of temporary stabilization and destabilization. The disorientation, the disillusionment with the “American way of life,” has not led yet to a nationwide upsurge. It has led to the workers questioning their whole lives, asking is it all worth it, what is it all about? What we’re seeing is the beginning of judgment day. I’ve had a pretty good chance to look at the law the last few days, as you can imagine,” Van Langevelde said dryly in the hearing that day. “I’ve found nothing that gives us the authority to review complaints of fraud.”
