"Not Bolsonaro, not Mourão, not a congress of corrupt people and not the Reactionary Armed Forces!" Popular Revolutionary Student Movement (MEPR) and Red Unit-Revolutionary Youth League (UV-LJR), Brazil, 2021
Hello comrades, in this blog we will refute arguments used by both sides of Yankee imperialist politics for this year's electoral farce. Many debates have recently arisen in the USA due to the electoral circus, and we must demystify bourgeois elections.
Note: The texts in blue will be pro-Biden, using the traditional color of the Democratic Party, and those in red will be pro-Trump, with the color associated with that.
"Biden is a communist, socialist, leftist! Throughout his administration he destroyed American patriotism and Christian values!"
Biden can't even be left-wing, who would have thought a communist! Biden is a Keynesian “center-right” aligned with the interests of imperialism. He has already called Cuba “a failed state” and communism “a universally flawed system”. Furthermore, Biden had plans to privatize Medicare (a program that provides universal health insurance coverage for people over 65 and those on the disability insurance program) and give the water to the private sector with the Forever Chemicals Rule. .
Claiming that Biden 'destroyed American patriotism and Christian values' is the purest form of ignorance. The Democrats have a worse military record than the Republicans, examples include the military coup in Brazil in 1964, the bombings in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia by Lyndon B. Johnson, attacks in Yugoslavia by Jimmy Carter, invasion of Libya, Syria and Yemen by Obama and the current genocide in Gaza by Biden, proves that Democrats are aligned with imperialism, but since the 2010s onwards , the Democrats are trying to "make up" Yankee chauvinism, giving the role of pornographic chauvinism to the Republicans. Regarding the issue of "Christian values", it is the purest form of stupidity for an American reactionary to claim that the Democrats have destroyed values. American Christians, because this is just part of a conspiracy theory (which, by the way, doesn't even make sense).
"But... Biden wants to increase social policies and he is aligned with the Woke Agenda!"
Yes, in fact, several Democratic politicians preach more social policies (which end up not being applied in practice), but this does not make them left-wing, at most they can be centrist. Brazil under the fascist government of Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022) also had social programs, such as Auxilio Brasil, a social income transfer program established, but that is not why they consider Bolsonaro to be left-wing.
There is no "Woke Agenda" wanting to "dominate America and implement socialism using Gramscian methods". The 2017 Oxford Dictionary defined "Woke" as "being aware of social and political issues, especially racism." The term woke has become synonymous with liberal policies, which defend themes such as racial and social equality, feminism, the LGBTQIA+ movement, the use of neutral gender pronouns, multiculturalism, vaccination, ecological activism and the right to abortion. However, these agendas are not exclusive to the left. Several right-wing movements and people have already defended these agendas, such as Margaret Thatcher (in the beginning), Eduardo Leite (governor of the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil), Libertarianism of Bleeding Heart and several others.
"Biden cannot be a communist, however there are several ultra radical leftists within the Democratic Party, such as Bernie Sanders and AOC! These ones behave like the Khmer Rouge!"
From that point on, the Yankee chauvinist showed himself to be extremely ignorant. It is true that there is a group of members of the Democratic Party more aligned with the center, called "The Squad", but we call them "ultra-radical leftists" and even compare them with the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia - which was financed by the US , RU and Deng Xiaoping - is nonsense in itself. AOC, for example, sided with Pelosi and Trump in the attempted coup in Venezuela, AOC transferred $160,000 from her own campaign funds to the “CIA Democrats”, in addition to not supporting the strength of the vote to demand the " Medicare for All.” Ilhan Omar supports $62 billion bill that includes unconditional support for Israel. Bernie Sanders supported the US bombing of Yugoslavia in addition to Biden's attacks in Yemen. They can at most be social democrats who follow the Nordic model, from center to center-left, but not communists.
"Trump wants to turn America into a fascist dictatorship! Biden prevented this from happening in 2020!"
The USA was NEVER GREAT! It was a country born on top of thousands of indigenous corpses, then there were the corpses of black people and, from the 1950s onwards, the corpses of Cubans, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Chileans, Syrians, Yemenis, Afghans, Mexicans, Salvadorans, Libyans, and several other peoples who were judged. by Yankee imperialism. The USA has always been a country that has had presidential absolutism, an Apartheid (just like in South Africa and Israel). Changing from right to right there was no change in the policies of imperialism.
"But... But Project 2025..."
Yes, Project 2025 is a danger for everyone, but this is just another phase of capitalism and the bourgeoisie becoming more and more reactionary. Biden uses a "peaceful progressive" mask to hide his real imperialist intentions. We could call this pseudo-progressivism, which is progressivism used as a mask to hide fascism.
It would be the same thing as supporting Israel because they have one of the biggest pride parades in the world, even though this is just a phenomenon called "Pinkwashing", which is the use of pro-LGBTQIA+ rights speeches as propaganda to divert the focus from other themes and cover up human rights violations.
"Okay, but at least Biden isn't racist, unlike Trump!"
It is true that Trump and various wings of the Republican Party have racist thoughts, but this also does not ignore the fact that historically Democrats have been more racist than Republicans. An example of this was when Joe Biden met with members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Racist symbols, such as the Gadsden flag, Confederate flags, etc., are widely used by Republicans, but Democrats have more connections with these groups.
DON'T VOTE! FIGHT FOR THE REVOLUTION!
REBELLING IS FAIR!
DOWN WITH THE ELECTORAL FARCE OF YANKEE IMPERIALISM!
BOYCOTT THE 2024 YANKEES ELECTIONS!
