The second term of Trump has been onset by a series of attacks on the most oppressed 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ of the community; giving inspiration to right-wing movements around the world.
Worse the politics of Trump is increasingly becoming normalised.
Far-right politicians and groups around the world are emboldened by Trump’s win. Far-right parties such as AFD in Germany are projected to gain a majority in the upcoming German elections.
In so-called Australia the Albanese government is openly aligning itself with the Trump administration through the US-Australia millitary alliance. Meanwhile Dutton and the Liberal Party are increasingly taking inspiration from Trump's brand of reactionary right-wing politics including campaigning against immigration.
Yet the roots of the Trump presidency are rooted in rising inequality and economic insecurity through decades of neoliberalism and a massive transfer of wealth towards the rich.
Join this discussion hosted by Socialist Alliance and 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ on how we can resist the politics of Trump and discuss how Capitalism today is enabling the growth of the far-right.
