As 2024 nears, Democrats step up attacks on political rights – The Militant

[….] The gamut of laws targeting Trump today have always been used first and foremost against workers, especially those opposed to the rulers’ wars and those attracted to fighting to replace capitalist exploitation with something better. And, no matter who is targeted today, these laws will be turned against working people tomorrow.

“Every constitutional protection that allows workers to debate a road forward and to organize to defend ourselves from attacks by the bosses and their government must be safeguarded,” Rachele Fruit, Socialist Workers Party candidate for U.S. Senate from Florida, told the Militant. “Workers use these freedoms whenever we resist bosses’ assaults, like striking United Auto Workers are doing today. And they are crucial to organizing opposition to the threat of new wars and actions against Washington’s embargo of Cuba.

“That’s why we speak out against the witch hunt against Trump today. To protect our rights, we say, drop the charges against Trump! Defend constitutional freedoms!”
