WHAT CONCLUSIONS CAN BE DRAWN FROM IT? NOTES TABLE OF CONTENTS PROLOGUE Rarely, a presidential election will have leaked so much ink, aroused so
many controversial reactions within the same ruling class. Panelists,
journalists, analysts on the payroll have judged and seek to understand the
"mystery" Donald Trump who was not yet one. Only after the election they
will have understood, Donald Trump was chosen and pushed to the forefront
of the political scene for what he was and to accomplish what he makes.
This will not solve the mess in which America is dying, but the plutocrats
hope to quickly reverse the course of history. The America's rich, in deep
economic and social crisis, has conscripted this businessman and his team
of reactionaries that she hopes will reverse the downward movement of
decadent imperialism. Nothing will be done yet, we do not stop a train that
derails, we avoid it, or we push it to the bottom of the ravine so that it
finds its end. In the pages that follow, we will demonstrate that the
bourgeois "democratic" elections - no matter whether they are orchestrated
and manipulated discreetly or ostensibly - are anti-worker and are only
aimed at safeguarding the "Welfare State" for the rich. They aim only at
disarming and compromising the proletarian class and inciting it to put its
fate in the hands of the fetish state, the central staff of big capital.
The pseudo-democracy of the rich is a decoy to distract the proletarian
class from its historical mission. The myth of "the deep state", presented as a malformation of the bourgeois
state, which it would be sufficient to counter and reform, is only intended
to mask the class hegemony of big capital over the fetish state, his
executive council. We do not believe in the existence of a group of
conspirators who would manipulate the bourgeois rule of law against the
agents appointed by big capital through the traditional electoral process.
The collusion and opposition between allies and competitors are part of the
practices of the capitalist mode of production and can not be eradicated
without the elimination of the latter. The American workers who have been
protected from left-wing ideological contamination have maintained healthy
reactions in front of "the whole fetish bourgeois state" and have
spontaneously appropriated slogans such as "Less governance is healthy,
even less is very good" which led them, seeing the inanity of attempts of
electoral conquest of the capitalist state apparatus, to reject any
participation in municipal, state or federal electoral masquerades. The
European proletariat, contaminated by the ideas of the left and the
reformist right, is slow to reject the capitalist electoral circus. The
inanity of these futile pseudo-democratic exercises will teach them little
by little. Recently the French proletariat has made a great leap forward in
this direction. In any mode of production, the fundamental power lies in the economic
authority. The social class that owns and controls the means of production,
marketing, and communication possesses and controls the economic power, the
political, media, legal, diplomatic, military, and finally ideological
power. It is for having forgotten, or denied, this truth that the left-wing
organizations, that claimed to be workers and proletarians, compromised
themselves and then have integrated the state apparatus of fetish to
finally disappear. Like the political sphere, the bourgeois state is
neither the alpha nor the omega of bourgeois power, which is essentially
based on the private ownership of the means of production, marketing and
communication, in fact on the exclusive power of the bourgeoisie to take
advantage of the surplus value. The bobos which try to mobilize the
proletariat in order to vote for one or another electoral party thus
fulfill their commitment for the continuation of bourgeois political power
based on capitalist economic power. Without control of economic power, the
"democratic" conquest of state power is utopian. We must first institute
the economic "democracy" (the workers' power over the means of production,
marketing and communication) if we wish to impose the proletarian political
"democracy" (the dictatorship of the proletariat for a necessary transition
period). The ownership of the salaried labor force. Thus, under the capitalist mode of production the bourgeois class is owner
of the means of production, marketing, and communication, except for the
labor force which belongs to every employee who has no choice but to sell
his property, his working time, to the capitalists and to the fetish state
of the rich. From this postulate follows that the capitalist class
possesses and controls all the social power in the economic, political,
media and ideological authorities, this parcel of economic, political,
media and ideological power attached to the individual property of the
labor force. The employee can dispose of it and refuse to alienate it,
within the strict limits however of the dictatorship imposed by the
hegemonic class on the whole of the activities of the society, even when
this dictatorship takes the name of "democracy". To the one who refuses the
rules of this dictatorship of capital over the whole economic, social and
labor life, there remains only marginality or clandestinity. Thus, for
years, the media on the payroll has concealed the proliferation of
disinherited people in urban areas, present the Mafia circles as an
epiphenomenon of otherness, no longer report about working strikes and the
union bureaucracy - the fifth column of the rich in the working movement -
doing everything what can to sabotage the striking struggles. Finally, when
all this is not enough, the legislator, the judge and the police are called
to the rescue and the full weight of the bourgeois law falls on the
proletariat in struggle and then the right to strike is regulated, framed,
euthanized. In doing so, the proletariat sees the only social power, which
it possesses, withering away - refusing to work and producing surplus labor
and surplus value -. Instead of the bourgeois class and its employees,
petty bourgeois politicians, the NGO industry, and the trade union
aristocracy propose to the proletarians to express their anger in bogus
demonstrations, to sign "candy" petitions, and to vote at regular intervals
for one or other of the jesters that the "democratic" machine of the rich
offers them via the the industry of circus industry. With the worsening of
the popular misery, the traditional political organizations, those of
alternation left-right, which for a long time no longer constitute an
alternative, are increasingly discredited to the point of
having to give way to a force that the oligarchs in place call them
"populist" or "supremacist extremist" as they yesterday called them
"fascist". This widespread phenomenon (Trump and the Tea Party in the
United States, Le Pen in France, Geert Wilders (PVV) in the Netherlands,
MSI in Italy, etc.) is the manifestation of a change in the domination
exercised by the big bourgeoisie in its traditional class alliance with the
petty bourgeoisie "Alliance which organizes with difficulty the so-called
democratic state system since it is a condition of its existence in this
form that has the advantage of making believe that the State is the
executor of the popular willingness»1.
Tom Thomas formulates thus this problematics "The economic crisis is
rapidly generating a political crisis under our eyes. Crisis relating to
the state, therefore, which can no longer, as the people generally believe
that it is its role, to ensure growth, employment, standard of living,
health, in short "the progress" in the general welfare. The so-called
traditional parties of the right or of the left, which regularly succeed
each other in the government, and more generally the political-media and
employers 'elites', are increasingly discredited every day. Members of this
ruling bourgeoisie notice themselves (...) that "the extremes are
strengthening" (...) a survey of Credit Suisse shows "the mechanical link
between unemployment rate and vote for extremist parties (...) that these
elites stigmatize as 'populist'».2 Tom Thomas seems to be unaware that this correlation between the growth of
social despair and the growth of voting for the electoral extremes is
intended and maintained by big capital who is perfectly aware that the old
formations of the classical political circus do not mystify more the
figurehead voters. The Credit Suisse survey is just a pro
