Fight

The

Rich

It’s time to declare war on the rich.

Reject the Whitewashing of Charlie Kirk’s Legacy & Fight Back Against the Right-Wing Assault

Cracks in the Trump regime: How to defeat the right-wing, anti-worker offensive

08 . 14 . 2025

But now, things are looking precarious for Trump, as he faces obstacles and erupting divisions among his base of supporters. In some ways the Democratic Party is in even more dire straits, facing dismal approval ratings despite being out of power. Working people urgently need to fight back against both parties, and there are real openings for us to make gains, if we can understand the processes at play and what it will take to wage the most successful battles against the billionaires and their political servants.
