Elections are approaching in the USA, and voters are faced with the dire 'choice' of Trump or Biden. Neither will serve the interests of the working class. Workers must mobilise to kick out Trump and kick out capitalism!
President Trump has attempted to whip up panic around the Black Lives Matter protests, in order to portray himself as the 'law and order' candidate in the upcoming elections. But this desperate move is a sign of weakness, not strength.
