The class struggle, capitalist crisis, and the US elections

All over the world, the working class is dealing with mass layoffs driven by automation, worsening working conditions, and poverty pay. These are the methods through which the capitalist elite are trying to pay the cost of wars and economic crisis.

The American working class, the sleeping giant of world politics, is the social force which can end the ruling class policy of war and dictatorship defended by both the Harris and Trump campaigns. But to win, workers must unite internationally and establish their political independence from all the capitalist parties.
