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.
