Help us mobilize the working class against dictatorship

The mass media works to protect the interests of the ruling class, but the World Socialist Web Site is telling the truth

Hello, Thousands of people across all 50 US states protested against the fascists in the White House this week, denouncing massive wealth inequality, the financial oligarchy's trampling of the Constitution and the escalating attacks on immigrants and the democratic rights of the working class. Yet you would hardly know about these protests from the corporate media, which has all but ignored them.  Protesters march against Trump and attacks on immigrants in New York City, February 5 The mass media works to protect the interests of the ruling class, but the World Socialist Web Site is telling the truth—reporting on and organizing opposition to Trump's authoritarian agenda. We need your support in order to ramp up this fight. Donate today to our New Year Fund to support the WSWS in exposing Trump's attack on democratic rights and fighting to mobilize the working class against dictatorship. Donate now The Democratic Party has been largely silent on Trump's efforts to establish a dictatorship, and where they do speak, it is only to divert and suppress opposition. The Democrats would rather see Trump consolidate dictatorial rule than allow the emergence of a mass movement of workers and youth. In just two weeks, Trump's administration has launched an unprecedented assault on democratic and social rights, issuing sweeping executive orders to carry out mass deportations and create the framework for presidential dictatorship. The administration has handed the world's richest man, Elon Musk, control over slashing social programs, treating the government like his personal corporation. Trump's efforts to consolidate authoritarian rule are part of a broader turn to dictatorship by capitalist governments worldwide. The genocide in Gaza, the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine, and the growing threat of war with China are all expressions of this crisis. The same ruling elites that trample democratic rights at home are carrying out imperialist crimes abroad, while the working class is forced to pay the price through austerity and repression. Trump's return to power comes amid a global crisis of capitalism—escalating imperialist war, the turn to dictatorship, extreme social inequality, and an upsurge in the class struggle.  The World Socialist Web Site advances a policy of struggle. The critical task is to transform opposition into an organized movement of the working class against both parties of big business. The fight against dictatorship requires a fight against capitalism itself—which means building a movement independent of and opposed to the Democratic Party and all factions of the ruling class.
