Whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris ends up in the White House, the working-class road forward advanced by the SWP campaign is what workers need, in the face of today’s unrelenting capitalist crisis.
The working class cannot allow layers of our class to be driven down toward poverty and despair, nor accept conditions that increase the burdens we face sustaining families and being able to afford housing, health care and other essentials. Workers are joining together today to use unions to fight for protection from the bosses’ drive to profit at our expense.
The SWP explains why workers should fight for cost-of-living measures in every contract and all social benefits, so that when prices rise our wages automatically go up. In the face of layoffs, we need a shorter workweek with no cut in pay to share the work available around, coupled with a union-led fight for a federally funded public works program to provide jobs at union-scale pay building the housing, schools, child care and hospitals we need and repairing decrepit infrastructure.
The Democrats, Republicans and other capitalist politicians utilize Washington’s wars and conflicts abroad to call on working people to fall in line behind “our” national interests and subordinate our demands to them. But that’s a fraud.
Everything Washington does is to advance the U.S. imperialists’ predatory class interests, not the interests of working people. That’s true whether it’s their response to the deepening showdown in the Middle East, to Moscow’s attempt to conquer Ukraine or other conflicts generated by the crisis-ridden imperialist system.
The SWP candidates tell the truth — the capitalist rulers are marching humanity toward more bloody conflicts and a third world war. The only way to prevent this is advancing the political organization of the working class.
The SWP is the only party in the U.S. that acts on unshakable confidence in the capacities of working people. In the course of the class struggle, workers can be won to building a party to lead tens of millions to topple capitalist rule in the world’s final empire, and to replace it with workers power. With a working-class program, discipline and leadership, it is possible to open the road to a world free of exploitation, Jew-hatred, and oppression.
Workers that have endorsed the SWP campaign can join party members now and in the days after the election to win more support for this working-class perspective. This is the way you can learn more about the party’s revolutionary continuity and join in advancing the only road that can bring an end to the disasters that capitalist rule is preparing.
