Minneapolis Murder, ICE Thugs and the Mass Movement


Richard Mellor

There is one important point I want to make. Do not limit your criticism or blame solely to the degenerate serial sexual abuser and felon Donald Trump. This is a crisis of the system. It has been ongoing no matter which Wall Street party is in power. The US Congress is as guilty as Trump or the fascistic Noem for this murder and many before it including the millions that have died due to US capitalism's predatory wars. There was a general strike in Minneapolis in 1934. It would be a historic moment for US workers and the world for the second one to occur and call on all US cities to follow suit.
If you are in a union and are not in a political battle for the transformation of these organisations that our ancestors built, a transformation to remove the class collaborationist clique that has captured the leadership, you are failing your membership and the working class as a whole. You are failing your children and grandchildren.
Any local union leadership that claims to be in opposition to the status quo must call for a unity with all workers at home and abroad, unity with our communities, the unorganised and immigrants, undocumented or not. Working people have the power, we have the ability to confront this big business offensive and build a better world that every worker regardless of background desires.
