Join SWP on ???right side of history???
Editorial
Vol. 83/No. 25
July 15, 2019
The 2020 U.S. elections ??? with 16 months to go ??? are front-page news, as
incumbent Donald Trump and some two dozen Democratic wannabes pound away
at each other. All these Democratic and Republican politicians, whether
self-proclaimed socialists, liberals or conservatives, share one key
thing in common ??? a commitment to defend dog-eat-dog capitalist rule.
The interests of working people are irreconcilable with the interests of
the capitalist class who depend on exploiting us. Competition with their
rivals continually drives them to attack our wages and working
conditions and to send us to fight and die in wars over markets and
resources. They work hard to keep us divided and to convince us to vote
for whichever party ??? the Democrats or Republicans ??? appears as the
lesser evil. The two-party system is set up to preserve the interests of
the class that exploits working people at home and abroad. There is?? no
???lesser??? evil.
The Socialist Workers Party fights for an opposite course. Its
candidates for office in 2019 tell the truth ??? that all politics
reflects the class struggle, and working people have common class
interests and need to fight side by side. We point to the lessons of
past working-class struggles and our revolutionary continuity. To
effectively combat what working people face we need to organize and act
independently of the bosses??? parties.?? We need our own working-class party!
The SWP???s slate of candidates presents a program to fight to change the
conditions workers face in the only way that is possible ??? by
challenging capitalist rule. They speak out against all instances of
tyranny and oppression and join in fighting to change them.
By recognizing and acting on our capacity to struggle, the SWP campaign
presents demands to increase the unity, courage and self-confidence of
working people. It explains why workers need our own foreign policy to
oppose the wars, military threats and sanctions imposed with bipartisan
support by the U.S. imperialist rulers. They point to the revolution
made by working people in Cuba in 1959 ??? still living today ??? as an
example for how working people here can wrest power from the capitalist
rulers, establish a workers and farmers government and join in the fight
for a world free of exploitation and discrimination.
Only the Socialist Workers Party candidates present a realistic course
to end the carnage capitalism creates. Join in campaigning with the SWP!
It???s truly a life ???on the right side of history??? ??? a life worth living.
