Trump runs on ‘peace, prosperity’ as Democrats fold on impeachment – The Militant

What road forward for working people?

....As the Democrats fret and flail and Trump looks like a repeat winner — barring a collapse in the economic uptick — none of this presents a road forward for the working class and others battered by the ongoing crisis of capitalism.

The “peace” he presides over is one of imperialist plunder and his “prosperity” is one where the bosses feel bolder while tens of millions of workers and farmers live on the brink, paycheck to paycheck.

In contrast to the Democrats and Republicans, the Socialist Workers Party candidates point a way forward for working people. They start from workers organizing themselves independently and fighting in their own interests. They urge workers to break from the trap of casting a ballot for this year’s “lesser-evil” ruling-class party candidates. Workers need their own party, a labor party to fight to take political power and organize a workers and farmers government.

SWP candidates point to what workers can do together today to organize solidarity with copper workers on strike at Asarco in Arizona and Texas. To join protest actions demanding Washington get its troops and weaponry out of the Mideast and mobilizing solidarity with those hit by recent murderous Jew-hating attacks.

Join the Socialist Workers Party campaign!
