The killing of protesters and migrants at the hands of ICE is neither an excess nor an operational error; it is the normal functioning of a capitalist state in crisis. Under the farce of bourgeois democracy, state violence is carried out with total impunity to discipline the working class, sow fear, and sustain an economic order that can survive only through repression, deportations, and institutional terror.

The United States is going through a phase of militarization and repression that is no longer confined abroad: the same apparatus that bombs and sanctions other peoples now turns its weapons against its own population. The deaths of working people, the criminalization of protest, and the expansion of state control reveal a structural pattern in which capital reproduces itself through the precarization of labor power and the normalization of violence. In the face of this reality, only the independent organization of the working class can challenge the logic of a state that prioritizes accumulation over life and justice.

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.

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.
