Chaos abroad, chaos at home - What can stop Trump? with Comrade Erica
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mansa is joined by Comrade Erica from Workers Vanguard, the newspaper of our comrades in the United States. We start off with the context in the country and the domestic response to Trump's war on Iran as well as his attacks at home. We then discuss the problem with the dominant strategies on offer--a repeat of the so-called general strike in Minneapolis, and No Kings--both of which lead back to the Democrats, and why class independence is the only way to stop Trump.
