The Socialist Equality Party's Position on the " Revolutionary Communist International " ( led by Woods ) EXCERPT below )

[ In fact, in advance of the election, Trump and the sections of the corporate and financial oligarchy backing him were "determined" to use all means, "fair or foul" to return to the White House, actively plotting to reject the outcome of any election that did not lead to his victory. As it turned out, the complete bankruptcy of the Democratic Party allowed Trump to secure an electoral victory. Having won office, Trump is rapidly assembling a government of, by and for the oligarchy, while utilizing all means, "fair or foul," to implement his agenda.

As for the Democratic Party, it did everything it could to create the conditions for Trump's return. The Democrats had four years in the White House to prosecute Trump for his attempt to overthrow the Constitution. It took no serious measures to do so. In his inauguration speech two weeks after the January 6 fascist attack on the Capitol, Biden said he wanted a "strong Republican Party," even though the Republican Party for the most part supported the coup attempt and continued to defend the ex-president.

This was because the Democratic Party's overriding priority was the preparation for war against Russia and China, and that required support from the Republicans. Going after Trump seriously would cut across this war policy. At the same time, Biden and the Democrats were fearful that the explosive crisis of American capitalism and breakdown of its traditional forms of rule could lead to the breakup of the two-party system, which is how the US ruling class maintains its political domination of the working class. ]
