Charlottesville: How To Defeat Trump And The Far Right

After eventually condemning racism and the far-right groups that perpetrated the recent murderous violence in Charlottesville, Donald Trump, the ‘alt-right’-friendly US president, then reverted to his initial statement of condemning violence “on many sides”. Outrageously, Trump had earlier described sections of the neo-Nazi torchlight procession in Charlottesville as “very fine people”. Later he was forced to do a u-turn in order to deflect the intense political pressure on the White House. But Trump doesn’t want to distance the alt-right constituency which his campaign had assiduously courted in last year’s presidential election, hence his latest flip. Socialist Alternative (US co-thinkers of the Socialist Party) points out that although Trump’s regime is mired in deep crisis and key parts of his agenda are stalled, he still enjoys higher favourability ratings than the Democrats! As Socialist Alternative argues in the following statement, mass demonstrations and, crucially, a left political alternative, are needed to fight the right.

Universal Basic Income What Do Socialists Say?

The idea of welfare benefits being replaced by a ‘universal basic income’ (UBI) has resurfaced in recent years - a welcome discussion because it raises the fundamental right of everyone to have an income that meets their basic needs. Exact proposals vary but they are all based on the idea of everyone in society receiving an unconditional, taxfree, regular payment, regardless of whether they are working or the composition of their household (see box).
