The endless prosecution ( persecution ? ) of former president Donald Trump -what it really means in capitalist USA

The endless prosecution ( persecution ? ) of former president Donald Trump only confirms for me the Marxist view of THE LAW as mostly reflecting the will and interests of the capitalist ruling class. Here there is a dispute WITHIN the American plutocracy on how best to govern the country and remain in virtual control of the world ( does the Constitution authorize American imperialism ? ) . I listened this morning to Law Professor Alan Dershowitz on the Gene Valicenti ( 630 WPRO , Rhode Island )) radio news-talk program . I note that he used the word " McCarthyism " to describe the prevailing state of mind in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ( to which he remains loyal being a more old fashioned liberal Democrat ) . He aroused my interest in his recently published book aptly titled : " Get Trump " . How can the arch-plutocrat Donald Trump betray HIS country ? In fact, the self-serving Joe Biden & Family hardly betray the capitalist system with their corrupt intrigue in " sovereign " Ukraine. To be sure there is nothing self-sacrificing in deliriously money mad American ruling class. Remember : " What's good for General Motors is good for the country ". When privileged people see themselves as THE COUNTRY they simply cannot betray that country. In wars-past , present , and future - all the sacrifice is on the working class . The TWO PARTY SYSTEM uses both parties to bamboozle the American people into acceptance for austerity at home and war ( always for " OUR democracy ") abroad. The mainstream news media in the United States never fails to go along with a finally decided ruling class agenda. Soon the squabbling will be over and they will get on with the inspired program : nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ( and China and North Korea and Iran ). The nation's public schools and schools of higher education will also cravenly fall in line. Study the propaganda war at home in 1917 at the beginning of our entrance into the " Great War " to make the world safe for democracy , the war to end all wars ! American socialist Eugene V. Debs got it right more than a hundred years ago in his famous " Canton Speech " ( which landed this presidential candidate in jail . And never to be forgiven by righteous patriot Woodrow Wilson. )
