Live zoom discussion with Andy Zee, host of the RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show, this Monday, August 7th, at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET. Message us to register.
Donald Trump’s indictment in connection with his attempted coup on January 6, 2021 is unprecedented. Nothing even remotely close to this has ever happened in U.S. history before. No losing candidate had ever attempted to overturn the results, let alone through a coup. No leading presidential candidate—and in fact right now, according to polls, Trump is the leading candidate in the Republican Party for 2024 by an extremely wide margin—has ever been indicted in the run-up to an election, let alone four times, let alone on counts related to fomenting a coup.
This underscores what Bob Avakian wrote two years ago: “Things are not as they were in the past, and the reality is this: The profound divisions, within the ruling class, and in the society overall, cannot be smoothed over—they are only going to become deeper and sharper, more acute and antagonistic... This rare situation, with the deepening and sharpening conflicts among the ruling powers, and in the society overall, provides a stronger basis and greater openings to break the hold of this system over masses of people.”
