Fighting Trump 2.0 demands no-compromise politics
Corporate power would have stayed intact whether Trump or Harris won, and the Palestine genocide is endorsed by both ‘sides’ of mainstream politics — what we need instead is real, open leftism, argues ROGER McKENZIE

THE re-election of the far-right representative of the corporate elite, Donald Trump, to the presidency of the United States, has sent many into a tailspin.

Some in Britain have told me that if they had the opportunity in November to vote in the US presidential election they would have most certainly voted for the Democrat Kamala Harris as the lesser of two evils.

On one level I do get this but for me, any party that supports the genocide against the Palestinians and promotes the interests of the military-industrial complex does not get my vote — and didn’t in Britain last year.
