Howard Zin's A People's History is a book that I learned about only in the past
few years and read about 5 years ago. It is from the point of view of the
people, not the rulers. There's also a book by Juan Gonzales which is on
Bookshare, and is about the history of Latin America in relation to the US
which is also not that traditional history that you're talking about. Actually,
I've found a number of them. I'm not sure they're written from the Marxist
point of view. But they're certainly not written from the point of view of the
ruling elite.

I have been something of a reading fanatic ever since I learned to read and
history is one of my special interests. That means that I have read a lot of
history written from a bourgeois perspective. For the most part they recount
the history of the ruling classes and ignore the majority of all the people who
have ever lived, the working people who keep society going and history moving.
You get to learn a lot about statesmen and generals, but very little about the
guy who raises the statesman's food or builds his house and not a lot about the
people who actually fight the wars the generals wage. I suppose if you are just
interested in whoever was in power at any given time that is okay. But if you
are interested in the plight of the oppressed you have to seek out other kinds
of history. And if you are interested in the liberation of the oppressed and if
you are interested in how the fight for that liberation has succeeded and
failed in the past so that you can apply those lessons to the present and the
future then history from a bourgeois perspective does not quite measure up. The
vast bulk of the kind of history that does fulfill this purpose is history
written from a Marxist perspective.

It seems like I have discussed the uneven progression of history on this list
before. In fact, I am pretty certain of it. But alas, I find myself being
lectured to again as if I am the one who does not know what I am talking
about despite the fact that I have been autodidactly studying these things
for about forty-three to forty-four years now.

It was followed by feudalism though. Do you think that the Roman
Empire was immune to the laws of history? If so, then what do you
call the economic system that replaced it if not feudalism?

By JEFF MACKLER

That the leading Republican Party presidential candidate,
multi-billionaire Donald Trump, is a full-blown reactionary
caricature of a capitalist politician is now the common parlance of
most major media outlets. Even the relatively conservative
Washington Post featured a Dec. 1 Dana Milibank column entitled,
“Donald Trump Racist Bigot.”

Milibank, reflecting the general unease at Trump’s virulently
racist, misogynist, and xenophobic outbursts, wrote: “Let’s not
mince words:
Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist. … There is a great imperative
not to be silent in the face of demagoguery. Trump in this campaign
has gone after African Americans, immigrants, Latinos, Asians,
women, Muslims and now the disabled…

“It might be possible to explain away any one of Trump’s outrages
as a mistake or a misunderstanding. But at some point you’re not
merely saying things that could be construed as bigoted: You are a bigot.

“It has been more than a quarter century since Trump took out ads
in New York newspapers calling for the death penalty for “criminals
of every age” after five black and Latino teens were implicated in
the Central Park jogger case. The young men, convicted and
imprisoned, were later cleared by DNA evidence and the confession
of a serial rapist—and Trump called their wrongful-conviction
settlement a ‘disgrace.’”

“Since then,” Milibank continued, “Trump led the ‘birther’ movement
challenging President Obama’s standing as a natural-born American;
used various vulgar expressions to refer to women; spoke of Mexico
sending rapists and other criminals across the border; called for
rounding up and deporting 11 million illegal immigrants; had
high-profile spats with prominent Latino journalists and news
outlets; mocked Asian accents; let stand a charge made in his
presence that Obama is a Muslim and that Muslims are a ‘problem’ in
America; embraced the notion of forcing Muslims to register in a
database; falsely claimed thousands of Muslims celebrated the 9/11
attacks in New Jersey; tweeted bogus statistics asserting that most
killings of whites are done by blacks; approved of the roughing up
of a black demonstrator at one of his events; and publicly mocked
the [physical] movements of New York Times (and former Washington
Post) journalist Serge Kovaleski, who has a chronic condition
limiting mobility.”

What is perhaps a bit different in today’s virtually year-round
election hyperbole is the fact that virtually every one of the
dozen or so Republican presidential contenders have remained all
but silent as Trump daily spews out his noxious diatribes. Indeed,
until quite recently, most of the corporate media relished covering
Trump’s every anti-social rant, fearful perhaps that failure to do
so might lose them critical media ratings.

Trump himself has repeatedly affirmed that any coverage, especially
free media coverage—and to date he has by far had the lion’s share
of the latter—could only work to his advantage.

On Nov. 8, Trump delighted in the opportunity to appear on the
popular “Saturday Night Live” television show, where wacked-out
comedian Larry David, who plays the part of an obnoxious liberal
racist on his “Curb Your Enthusiasm” show, took up
DeportRacism.com’s offer of a $5000 prize to publicly heckle Trump
and call him a racist. David, who has yet to collect his winnings,
did just that—with Trump’s explicit and prior, if not enthusiastic,
agreement. In capitalist America today, a real live, laughing,
racist billionaire is a profitable talent to broadcast!

Meanwhile, the front-running Trump has a dozen Republican
challengers, including the second in the polls—retired surgeon,
Christian fundamentalist, and climate and evolution denier Ben
Carson. All afford Trump virtually free rein in his fear and
hate-mongering campaign, with a few occasionally and cautiously
seizing the opportunity to one-up this racist bigot in order to
better capture an ever greater portion of the Republican Party’s
alienated, largely middle-class, Tea Party-enthusiast voter base.

No doubt Trump’s rants find fertile soil in a small layer of the
overall electorate, but even less in the general population, some
half of which increasingly does not bother to vote.

But Trump’s backwater histrionics are not new to the increasingly
polarized and crisis-ridden world capitalist scene. Overtly
far-right, if not neo-fascist, views are similarly expressed in
France, England, and across Europe. In the former two nations such
right-wing parties have, for the first time in nearly a century,
outpolled the traditional capitalist stalwart parties of the status
quo.

Trump is the American reflection of overtly racist and neo-fascist
ideology— if not a conscious experiment with it. His racist rants
in some instances have encouraged the use of violent physical
attacks by his disaffected followers, who find his scapegoating of
the oppressed to their liking.

Democratic Party charade

On the Democratic Party side of capitalism’s electoral charade,
this ruling-class party’s lead candidates take the opposite tack,
portraying themselves as the font of progressive values.

In their first nationally televised debate, all five of the
original Democratic Party contenders, led by “socialist” Bernie
Sanders and matched by Hillary Clinton, enthusiastically decried
the “casino capitalism” of Wall Street.

Their purported vision of the future society is one in which the U.S.
“returns” to the moral values of its much fantasized “small business”
and “hard-working little man” roots, where prosperity awaits all
who conscientiously put in the effort. References to America’s
slave-labor and robber-baron origins are absent in this scenario.

Given President Obama’s significantly declining poll ratings, none
of the present Democratic Party contenders sought his overt
political support. “Mums the word” with regard to Obama’s record of
leading the nation in implementing each and every corporate assault
against unions, workers, and the poor. None chose to identify with
Obama’s unprecedented corporate largess in the form of
multi-trillion-dollar bailouts to the richest sectors of the U.S.
ruling class.

Rhetoric aside, Sanders’ Democratic Party voting record stands at
98 percent, while Hillary Clinton’s financial support from
corporate America’s giants, as with Obama before her and Bill
Clinton earlier, topped all contributions to her Republican opponents.

We might add that former Secretary of State Clinton backed to the
hilt every imperialist war effort of the Obama administration from
Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya to today’s U.S. war efforts in Syria.
Obama’s countless covert and drone wars abroad murdered millions
while stuffing the coffers of the military-industrial complex at
home. But virtually no comment from Bernie or Hillary!

Meanwhile, Obama’s hard-working “legacy” promoters struggle today
to posture the president as a keen environmental advocate, an ally
of immigrant communities, a champion of health care for all, a
friend of the working class, a champion of democratic rights, and a
man who is reluctant to send more troops to fight in the interests of U.S.
imperialism.

Obama has become the media-promoted rational champion of climate
science, currently partaking in the UN-sponsored Paris talks as the
chief “defender” of the earth against the ravages of global warming.
Yet, Obama’s administration holds the modern-day record for
increasing the use of fossil fuels, opening the floodgates to
corporate off-shore drilling, and maintaining the obnoxiously high
government tax breaks for the leading Big Oil polluters.

Obama’s recent squelching of the infamous Keystone XL pipeline
provided his administration a momentary fig leaf of credibility
that immediately vanishes when contrasted to the massive increase
of environmentally destructive pipeline complexes in place or under
construction across the country.

Obama, the “Great Deporter,” with a record two million immigrants
brutally forced out of the country to his credit, gifted $13
trillion in bailouts over the past seven years to the corporate
elite. He presided over the wholesale shredding of civil liberties
(as so ably exposed by the Snowden revelations). His signature
“affordable” health care legislation gifted $3 trillion over the
next 10 years to the private and largely monopolized insurance,
hospital, and pharmaceutical industries—as opposed to a
single-payer alternative that would have saved $1 trillion in
government expenditures over the same period.

A Dec. 5 New York Times article entitled, “Jobs Report Seen as
Strong Enough for Fed Action” [to raise interest rates on today’s
nearly zero-rate “loans” to corporate America] nevertheless
revealed some bitter truths about the Obama administration’s seven-year
record.

“At 62.5 percent,” The Times notes, “the proportion of Americans in
the labor force remains near mid-decade lows. The jobless rate for
African-Americans rose by 0.2 percentage points in November to 9.4
percent, which is more than twice the 4.3 percent for white Americans.”

“Moreover, The Times adds, “the economy is still 2.8 million jobs
short of where it would have to be to match pre-recession
employment levels while also absorbing new entrants into the
workforce. … Even if the current trend continues, that so-called
‘jobs gap’ will not be closed until mid-2017.”

Another Dec. 5 New York Times article, “Lawmakers Near Deal on
Billions in Tax Cuts,” notes that the upcoming bipartisan tax-cut
legislation, in almost all cases written behind the scenes and
negotiated secretly by the technocrat specialists of the corporate
elite, amounts to nothing less than a five-year duration transfer
of $840 billion from us to them—from tax-paying working people to
the tax-avoiding richest portion of the one percent that really
rules America.

A general shift to the right

Today’s political/electoral drama, almost always devoid of the
crooked corporate machinations that lead to tax cuts and other
perks for the super-wealthy, can best be summarized: “The
Republicans talk the talk:
the Democrats walk the walk.”

The silky and “progressive”-sounding Democratic Party election-time
jargon is no accident or fluke. It is consciously designed to pose
this wing of the ruling class as the “civilized” representatives of
an egalitarian society that respects, if not cherishes, democratic
and human rights and economic fairness.

Similarly, the Republicans’ election posturing as a racist nut-case
party of almost deranged hate-mongers, climate deniers, and war
hawks is not without its own logic. The extreme verbal political
divergence between Democrats and Republicans lays the foundation
for capitalism’s well-honed election-time lesser-evil scenario,
wherein alienated voters who would more than likely abandon the
two-party shell game—a 60 percent majority favor a new third party,
according to a recent Gallup poll—feel compelled to once again
allow themselves to partake in “choosing”
capitalism’s preferred horse in the race.

The seeming Republican Party scapegoating mania combines well with
a generalized disgust with “establishment” politics, and it allows
Democrats to move ever further to the right. Few doubt that
President Obama and his Democratic Party political, social, and
economic policies are far to the right of the most “evil”
Republican propositions of yesteryear.

This generalized shift to the right of ruling-class politics, and
the associated feigned public disputes, never fail to reach
resolution in the hidden congressional and corporate corridors,
where “compromise”
solutions, always at the expense of the vast majority, are
routinely arrived at.

The chaotic and crisis-ridden capitalist system itself—in a crisis
virtually equal in magnitude to that of the Great Depression of
1929—best accounts for today’s public partisan discord. Different
wings of the ruling elite are today at odds with regard to how
much, how fast, and with what means—mass repression or “friendly”
persuasion—to most effectively advance their common corporate
interests.

Sanders pledges to support any Democrat

It is in this context, where massive disillusionment with and
alienation from “traditional” capitalist parties and politics has
reached new heights, that one can also understand the rise of
long-time registered “independent,” now “socialist,” Bernie
Sanders, as well as the racist social dissident, Donald Trump.

Bernie Sanders is now an official Democrat, having pledged in
advance to support whoever of his party competitors emerges from
the upcoming election primary contests as the winner. In some
recent polls in the early primary states, like New Hampshire and
Iowa, Sanders’ ranking appears to be in the political ballpark—that
is, he could win.

It was perhaps some 50-60 years ago, when I first encountered the
“lesser evil” dichotomy at work—Kennedy vs. Nixon and Johnson (LBJ) vs.
Barry Goldwater—that I half seriously predicted that the time would
come when the ruling-class elite, when it believed it was necessary
to head off a likely working-class move toward a break with the
capitalist two-party duopoly, would run a “socialist” for
president, under the Democratic Party imprimatur, of course.

That day has arrived, with “Bernie” filling the bill almost
perfectly as today’s central sheepherder of the unwary back into
the Democratic Party fold.

Sanders’ service record on capitalism’s behalf falls well within
the boundaries of ruling-class politics. He supported the Obama
administration’s wars in Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, and
Yemen—although he, like most other liberals who feigned opposition
to the Iraq War, including Obama, now claim that this war was a
”mistake.”
The Saddam Hussein government after all, they have been compelled
to admit, never had “weapons of mass destruction.” The U.S.
slaughter of
1.5 million Iraqis, we are told with a straight face, was a mistake!

“Socialist” Sanders gave his assent to countless trillion-dollar
military appropriations bills, including all congressional measures
that supported Israel in its genocidal drive to eliminate any
Palestinian presence in their historic homeland.

Thus, campaigning for and organizing mass forces to demand the
immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. troops from
every nation on earth is not within the Sanders campaign’s
calculated political territory. He knows full well that any real
socialist would view U.S.
imperialism’s wars everywhere as nothing less than the extension
and embodiment of U.S. ruling-class policies at home.

Sanders has indeed disappointed some of his liberal and even
“socialist”
supporters today due to his perceived “weakness” on foreign-policy
issues and his failure to unequivocally challenge and condemn the
ever-increasing brutality and police murder of unarmed Blacks. When
confronted with a Black Lives Matter representative who jumped onto
the stage demanding to know where Sanders stood on America’s
deepening racist attacks, the “political revolutionary” was
speechless and quickly exited, leaving the audience stunned. When
he was soon afterward advised that his well-crafted liberal image
had to include a modicum of support to Black rights, he meekly
assented, but only to the point of not significantly interfering
with Clinton’s prior turf “claim” to the Black vote.

Sanders has also made clear that he is not the kind of socialist
that seeks the social ownership of the nation’s wealth and the
establishment of a revolutionary state that once and for all places
society’s means of production and wealth in the hands of and under
the democratic control of those who produce it, in the framework of
a government of the working class and its allies. Sanders’
“socialism,” he insists, includes respect for private
property—operating, perhaps, in a bit more humanely manner.

In short, Sanders, like his “socialist” counterparts in France or
in the Scandinavian countries, seeks a “kinder gentler capitalism.”
The fact that he seeks to emulate Europe’s historically bankrupt
social-democratic capitalist model while these nations are engaged
in supporting all of NATO’s wars and imposing the same, if not
worse, austerity measures against their respective working masses
is not unexpected.

In these troubled times “Bernie,” in fact, perfectly fills
capitalism’s needs for legitimacy. His chatter about the need for a
“political revolution” in the U.S. is subordinate to his
quarter-century service as Vermont’s leading elected
official—unchallenged by the Democratic Party.
His current assignment, for which he will undoubtedly be richly
rewarded down the line, is to corral working-class discontent back
into the capitalist framework and, when the Peter Pan fairy dust
has cleared, to back Hillary Clinton.

Santa is in exile!

There is no Santa Claus on Wall Street, dear friends—neither in the
form of Bernie and Hillary nor charitable gift-giving billionaires
like Gates and Zuckerberg. Indeed, the real Santa likely abandoned
his North Pole abode at the first signs of Industrial Revolution
capitalist-caused global warming.

That once pristine ice-capped area, increasingly barren today, is
the domain of happy Obama’s helpers, including the Chevron
Corporation, which seeks to mine the exposed earth for the very
fossil fuels whose continued use spells doom for all human kind.
The real Santa likely moved his helpers to cities around the world
to join the fight to restore his homeland and ours, and to return
to the people of the earth the opportunity to collectively build a
joyous world, free from those who would irrationally destroy it in
the pursuit of profit.

Another Christmastime hero, a young Jewish rebel who lived a bit
more than 2000 years ago, may have left us with some insightful
words to ponder. “Drive the money changers from the temple,” he
exhorted. Not a bad holiday admonition! Indeed, the socialist
movement of the early 19th century did include followers of Jesus,
who believed that socialism was the modern-day expression of the
teachings of the Lord.

Today’s Marxist revolutionaries base themselves on a qualitatively
grounded or materialist understanding of the roots of capitalist
society’s countless horrors. As the gap narrows between workers’
mounting hatred of the dread consequences of capitalist
exploitation and oppression and their reluctance to enter the fray
to challenge it in all its fundamentals, we will see countless
millions of new and clear-sighted fighters break with all of
capitalism’s ruling-class-based institutions of coercion and control.

That day is not far over the horizon. Today, the conscious
organization of a deeply-rooted mass revolutionary socialist
party—aimed at ending capitalist rule forever and bringing forth a
new world dedicated to advancing the finest yearnings for freedom,
justice, and equality—is Socialist Action’s reason for being. Join us!
