Look at all the problems that humanity faces today! Poverty, hunger, unemployment, union-busting, racial oppression, gender oppression, homophobia, endless war, and long hours of work for stingy wages - let's face it capitalism sucks! Capitalism Sucks talks about these problems and what we can do to solve them.
What we need is something besides the same old Democrats & Republicans! And why bother with those Dixiecrat "Socialists" of America (D"S"A)? Didn't Malcolm X say that "Democrats are Dixiecrats"? So how can you be a Dixiecrat and a socialist at the same time? You're either a Dixiecrat, or you're a socialist, you can't be both! Back when the Democrats ran the South, black people were lynched all the time! And what the Chicago Police Department does to black people here in liberal Dixiecrat blue state Chicago, ain't much different than what the Ku Klux Klan did to black people in the South! Choosing between the Demopublicans & Republicrats is like choosing between AIDS and cancer!
What we need is a Trotskyist multiracial workers party that will fight for affordable quality housing & free quality medical care & free higher education & a decent pension for senior citizens! A Trotskyist multiracial workers party will also fight against racism, homophobia, & gender oppression.
A Trotskyist multiracial workers party will fight for free abortion on demand, free quality childcare, equal pay for equal work, and the right of women & LGBT & everybody else to bear arms for self-defense. Unlike bourgeois feminists, Trotskyists do not believe that working class men are part of the “male patriarchy”. Instead, Trotskyists believe that BOTH working class men & women experience class oppression, but that working class women experience the “extra oppression” of sexism. In other words, working class men have it terrible, and working class women have it worse than terrible. As for bourgeois feminists, they want to break through the “class ceiling” and become billionaire CEOs that pay you in matriarchy peanuts on payday, instead of patriarchy peanuts on payday.
And a Trotskyist multiracial workers government would be a WORKERS democracy. It would not be a Stalinist dictatorship like China. But Trotskyists do defend Stalinist countries like Cuba & China against capitalist countries like the USA. The only thing worse than Stalinism is capitalism! The minimum wage in capitalist Ukraine is roughly $200 dollars per month. In capitalist Russia, the monthly minimum wage is roughly $300 dollars per month. Can you imagine trying to survive on that? The Russian soldiers & the Ukrainian soldiers should shake hands and stop fighting each other. And the Russian soldiers should unite with the Russian workers and eat Putin & the Russian aristocracy, and the Ukrainian soldiers should unite with the Ukrainian workers and eat Zelensky & the Ukrainian oligarchy.
A Trotskyist government would leave small businesses alone to prosper. In fact, a Trotskyist government would do everything within reason to help small businesses. However, large corporations would be nationalized under workers control without one dime of compensation for the thieving CEO billionaires.
A Trotskyist multiracial workers party would fight against deportations of immigrants already here, and let us remember that BOTH the Democrat Obama & the Republican Trump have deported huge numbers of immigrants. (However, Trotskyists do not support more immigration.) And a Trotskyist multiracial workers party would fight for peace. To hell with all these bloody imperialist wars, and to hell with BOTH political parties of warmongering American imperialism!
Finally, unlike bourgeois liberals & middle-class black nationalists, Trotskyists do not believe that working class whites are “privileged”. Trotskyists believe ALL working class people experience class oppression, but that working class people of color experience the “extra oppression” of racism. In other words, working class whites have it terrible, and working class blacks & Latinos have it worse than terrible.The rich whites use racism to divide working class whites & blacks & Latinos & Asians against each other. It’s divide & conquer!
