The advance of fascism in the United States is neither an accident nor an ideological detour—it is capital’s response to crisis. Under Trump’s mandate, automation, repression, and racism become tools to disorganize the working class and safeguard the profits of big capitalists. This article analyzes how fascism serves a concrete economic function, and why only a political organization of the working class can confront this offensive.

The recent protests against ICE raids reflect the just struggle of the working class. But the Democratic Party and its allied NGOs turn these protests into electoral platforms that serve capital’s interests. The solution lies in building independent, class-based organization from our neighborhoods and workplaces.

The military parade organized by the Trump administration in Washington was much more than a simple show: it was an act of authoritarianism, a business opportunity for corporations of the military-industrial complex, and a message of repression against the working people. While millions were wasted on tanks and helicopters, millions of people took to the streets to shout “No Kings” and demand an end to the raids, the wars, and the repression.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey of Brevard County, Florida, made clear the brutality of the capitalist state by threatening to kill protesters who dare to challenge the imposed order. His statement is not an isolated excess, but the reflection of a state apparatus that, under Trump’s rule, targets the working class and immigrants with raids, deportations, and political assassinations. This article exposes how violence does not begin in the streets, but in the halls of power, and calls for the organization of the working class in the face of repression.
