Far more murders are committed by US health care executives than against them.

But hoping to "even the score" this way is misguided.

The working class must become educated and organized in a Marxist party to put an end to this system, nothing less. wsws.org/en/articles/20… "The killing of an employer ... an assassination attempt, with revolver in hand, against a government minister ... these are terrorist acts in the full and authentic sense," Trotsky wrote in "Why Marxists Oppose Individual Terrorism" (November 1911).

1. This is a thread of highlights from my report at the @WSWS_Updates event, “The Election Debacle and the Fight Against Dictatorship” on a panel with @DavidNorthWSWS, @EricLondonSEP, and @jerrywhiteSEP.

I made some warnings about what Trump and his allies intend to do. 🧵 Image @WSWS_Updates @DavidNorthWSWS @EricLondonSEP @jerrywhiteSEP 2. When the Democrats refer to a “peaceful transfer of power,” this only means that they don’t actually want mass protests against Trump.

Right: Tyahnybok giving the Hitler salute ImageImage Tyahnybok is an open anti-Semite who denounces the “Russkie-Yid mafia that controls Ukraine."

Following the 2010 conviction of John Demjanjuk as an accomplice in the murder of nearly 30,000 people in the Nazi camp at Sobibor, Tyahnybok called him a hero. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Stalinism is the #1 reason why this planet isn't already socialist. The history of Stalinism is a global political genocide of Marxists, selling out the USSR and restoring of capitalism, and discrediting socialism for a generation. These are the facts. 1/ Stalinism is not a subject about which anyone can "agree to disagree." Trotsky described "not simply a bloody line but a whole river of blood" separating the Marxism from these specialists in assassination, poisoning, lies, torture, and betrayal. 2/ marxists.org/archive/trotsk…
