SECTION 2
HOW THE LEFT CAN DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP
Version 1 ... February 2025
  • 8:02
  • in a country like ours which has its cold war Legacy which I would Define as
  • follows a liberal consensus on both sides the kind of
  • moderate Republicans and the usual Democrats um moving steadily to the
  • right both of them in the aftermath of the Great Depression in a program I
  • would call the UN doing of the New Deal which they did together um what the lesson was to the

  • How the Left Can Defeat Donald Trump
    •
  • 8:35
  • mass of people is there is an establishment we have Tweedle Dum and
  • Tweedle D we oscillate between the Republican and the Democrat nothing much changes and if you do want to change the
  • only allowable place is to go to the right because the left was anathema the
  • left was evil we had had we had a purge of people on the left after World War II

  • 9:04
  • very serious we didn't have a comparable Purge of people on the right the American people were taught there's
  • really two options this consensus and the right you see that in
  • many European countries too you've developed it they copied you know you developed this core
  • middle but if people don't want to Middle anymore and begin to ask themselves what else is there what they
  • what they've had what has been available is the rightwing alternative so they go
  • there if you develop a serious left-wing alternative then you're going to see
  • which is going to shock people but it shouldn't you're going to see that a good percentage of those who went to the
  • right will go to the left because that alternative is more attractive to them
  • and the best example we see right now is France the people in France who are in

  • 10:00
  • power the big block in the assembly majority Block No that's wrong plurality blocks
  • it's not a majority is the left it put four parties together ran them as a
  • unified party and ends up the largest Block in the assembly to the shock and
  • the end of Mr macron's career for sure Etc and there's no reason to believe
  • that that's unique to France you see a right-wing in France to show the point
  • but it's not big enough the left wing is bigger over nobody should be surprised I
  • wouldn't be surprised if that happened here but for that to happen there has to be one of the things that was foreclosed
  • in this country which is a leftwing because it was rendered the
  • evil communist other for so long that nobody has the nobody has had yet the
  • key to bring the existing left into a position where it could be an

  • 11:04
  • alternative change from the consensus so Mr Trump sits there all
  • alone another way to understand it which is consistent is to see
  • that in the second part of the undoing of the New
  • Deal the Democratic party succeeded in attracting
  • the support and the money of a large number of American Mega
  • corporations they had always favored the Republicans they still do if you look at where the money goes it's very clear but
  • the Democrats were able to get Silicon Valley portion of them and
  • others and that that was an existential threat to the Republicans because if the Democrats can
  • continue to get the unions the women the

  • 12:03
  • minorities disproportionate number of of workingclass people and they get the
  • money the Republicans are done what they can get given their history you know the
  • the Christian conservatives the white supremacists and so on they're dead they
  • they lose and they did one election after another so they made the decision
  • or rather Trump did on the people around him okay if an end run of the Democrats
  • was to get some of our supporters the money we've got to do a comparable end run around them which we will we'll
  • start talking to the working class we'll outdo the Democrats with the working
  • class the way they have outdone us with the financial supports we used to count
  • on to be a viable political operation and that's what happened Mr Trump
  • talks you know going to bring back jobs here and he's going to get rid of those

  • 13:05
  • awful immigrants that contest and Destroy and eat pets yes that's that's
  • right I forgot it's already several months old um but no look at the
  • symbolism he has an airplane in which he has a helpless group of apparently
  • Colombian immigrants here puts them in shackles their crime is their immigrants
  • which in most parts of the world is not a crime it's not even clear it's the crime here that would have to be
  • determined unless the old premise of innocent until guilty has been absorbed
  • too and he dumps them on a Runway at an airport in Colombia I mean
  • what you didn't sit down with the Colombians to work you just dumped them

  • 14:00
  • on and the answer is yes he didn't sit down with the head of Panama to discuss the canal or the head of Denmark to he
  • announced he announced this this is Naughty Boy this is Naughty Boy and he's
  • made a career out of being the naughty boy he's upset that he's treated like a naughty boy and then acts like a naughty
  • boy which is not all that unusual among naughty boys so that's what we had
  • symbolically and the working class loves it because they felt abandoned which they had been
  • the Democrats are as responsible for Mr Trump as anybody else and it should be
  • understood for the historical moment that it is and I think Mr Trump won
  • because he managed this symbolism very well I am naughty I am not of that
  • establishment I hate them like you do they have abused me personally just like

  • 15:04
  • you this and kamla Harris Can you know she would have had to develop a different


    • Why Kamala Harris Lost the Election
  • 15:11
  • Persona a different projection she didn't do that I'm not privy so I don't know what
  • her calculations were but I think they were wrong I think she lost the election
  • not because Mr Trump became more popular but because her side became less so and
  • so the the votes you know there were fewer voters and blah blah blah and he was able to make inroads among young
  • voters and black voters more than enough to and he only won by one and a half% of
  • the vote you know he he has to create the Mandate verbally because he doesn't have it in
  • reality whe but you with him you never quite know whether whether he grasps the
  • boundary between the fantasy and and the B and the reality or whether he really
