His decisive actions against the backwards and repressive Polish government have awakened hopes of good times ahead in an otherwise stagnant geopolitical landscape."

He can quote Marx all he wants, he still doesn't seem to me to be at all interested in how we came to this point of total constitutional crisis that we are in now. The conditions that let Trump consolidate power of the US government is all related to, the roll-back of Roe v. Wade, the militarization of the police, the climate crisis, and the various US-backed genocides going on right now. All of these things are related by the same cause. So if there are to be wildcat strikes and mass civil disobediance against Trump's despotism, the movement **must** demand redress of all of those issues at once, or it will ultimately affect no change at all. <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/uspol" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/trump" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trump</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/fascism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/newyorktimes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewYorkTimes</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/davidbrooks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DavidBrooks</a>
