In capitalist society, Karl Marx said, an individual’s power is equal to the power of their money.

Julian Zelizer : Most of the capitalist class is using its money power to try to re-install Donald Trump in the White House and put MAGA Republicans in charge of Congress .

The billionaire mega-donors hail from a rogues gallery of some of the most anti-worker corporations, predatory hedge funds, and financial powerhouses in the U.S ..

The 2024 election is a major battle in the class struggle in the U.S. class struggle.

Marx bet that working people have the ability and tools to get themselves organized, too.

The defeat of Trump will be a step forward, but the struggle to rein in the ruling class will continue.

Growing the consciousness and organization of the working class means growing its political independence.
