Trump bashing on International Women's Day - identity politics gone berserk

Have women as women SUDDENLY lost political clout and visibility under President Trump ?

Has he threatened to reverse the civil rights of black citizens or gay people ? Is Trump behind any real or imagined surge in anti-Semitism ? No law abiding Mexicans were deported under President Obama ?

  Sexism does not have deep roots in the American upper class male " establishment " ?

          What is going on with this endless " identity politics " inspired Trump bashing ? Are we languishing with a longing for neo-liberal political dominance - which hurt most working class Americans ?

        In truth, the American ruling class uses " identity politics " to frustrate the formation of a CLASS conscious majority.

            And the CIA is a major force making the world safe for democracy ? Why are Democrats embracing the New McCarthyism ? President Trump got that right.

       A few thoughts for International Women's Day - with its origins in the world socialist movement

.

Being on the democratic Left myself I see no vile anti-Semitism there. I do see hostility to Zionist, apartheid Israel.

 How much of the NOISE is a dispute between pro-Hillary Zionists and pro-Trump Zionists ? What on earth does this have to do with the interests of working class Americans ?

     On the Left we support a secular, democratic Israel.
