The socialist perspective in the 2024 elections

The 2024 elections are taking place under conditions of an extraordinary crisis. The reckless militarism of the Biden-Harris administration has brought the United States to the very brink of World War III. The US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza, now metastasizing into a region-wide war across the Middle East, are part of a broader struggle for world domination, which will deepen regardless of who wins the election.

Democracy is giving way to fascism and authoritarianism, in which both the Democrats and Republicans are implicated. Social inequality has reached levels unprecedented in modern history. The collective wealth of US billionaires stands at a record $5.2 trillion, while the vast majority of the population faces increasing social distress. Trump is exploiting these conditions to build a fascist movement rooted in extreme anti-immigrant xenophobia and anticommunism.

Join this online discussion with the Socialist Equality Party's candidates in the US elections, Joseph Kishore for president and Jerry White for Vice President. The event will be streamed live on this website.
