Protests against Trump dictatorship: working class rises worldwide!

In the USA it is bubbling: Resistance to the increasingly dictatorial tendencies under President Donald Trump grows noticeable. Especially in Los Angeles, where military forces from the National Guard and Marines are active, the waves are highlighting the violent raids from the ICE immigration authority due to the protests. On June 14th, more than ten million people took to the streets, united under the motto "No Kings!" To demonstrate against the deportations of millions of migrants. The mood is heated up and many demand an end to military presence and repressive measures.

Trump himself fueled the situation by threatening military interventions into the conflict between Israel and Iran. All of this is done against the background of a systematic renovation of the US government, which is strongly linked to the ambitions of his consultant Elon Musk and the newly founded Doge (Department of Government Efficiency). This has received far -reaching access to ministries and authorities without creating a legal basis for this, which historian like Manfred Berg sees as an "administrative coup". This could lead to a serious constitutional crisis because the separation of powers is in danger.

The resistance organizes

While some US observers see signs of the urgently required unity of the working class in the protests, international supporters also comment. For example, a bus driver from Berlin, P. Nihat, explained his solidarity with the American protesters. He criticized the treatment of immigrants and emphasized the urgency to fight against war and oppression. Voices from Norway also show that the fight against Trump's government style is not just a local problem. Kim, a metal worker, described the resistance to Trump as a global revolutionary struggle.

Among the demonstrators there are also sharp critics of American inequality. Max, a nurse from Bavaria, sees the current protests in Los Angeles as part of a deeply rooted global problem. He demands a united movement of the international working class to combat social injustices and to defend the rights of workers.

Risks of government reform

The Trump's Doge Initiative aims to drastically reduce government spending, which has already led to massive layoffs in the public service in practice. Official figures are missing, but it becomes clear that these reforms are seen as an attempt to build a more loyal apparatus. The distrust of the government is growing, and the leadership known by many is concerned. While six of the congress has a short republican majority, there is a lack of active resistance to Trump's measures.

How will it go on? The coming weeks will be crucial to observe whether resistance to the growing dictatorial currents in the USA will take on speed, and whether international pressure can help to bridge the gap between the loud warnings and the shocked political elite. The clock ticks.

While the protest movement is formed, the question of the legitimacy of the Doge and the reforms arranged by Trump remains, which are considered legally questionable. The development is followed precisely nationwide and internationally. We are watching the situation intensified.
