PROTESTS WILL GREET TRUMP PRESIDENCY
Donald Trump’s election victory will only generate more resistance across the world since he is expected to continue the bellicose policies of the Biden-Harris administration.
He supports the genocidal actions of Israel in Palestine, the warmongering of U.S. forces, and imperialist meddling in various geopolitical hotspots in the world. During his first term as president, he praised Duterte’s fake and brutal ‘war on drugs’ as he expanded the presence and activities of US military troops in the country and in the region.
His return to power will goad more people to oppose and protest his fascist agenda and the destructive legacy of US imperialism. Like his predecessors, Trump is ready to install puppet regimes, destabilize countries, intensify proxy wars, provoke and escalate conflicts, and ruin the economies of small nations to preserve and boost US hegemony. The people have no recourse but to challenge and defy the new Trump presidency.
We are in solidarity with the American people, Filipino-Americans, women, LGBTQ+, and migrants who are pushing back against Trump’s racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and demagoguery. The working classes inside the US will lead the fight against imperialism as they expose the nefarious impact of militarism and monopoly capitalism in their communities. In other words, there will be no honeymoon period for the second Trump presidency.
Instead of asserting the country’s national interest, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr reiterated his government’s subservience to US imperialism as he assured Trump about the continuation of existing security agreements.
In contrast to the shameful and traitorous stance of the Marcos government, Bayan will be part of the global protest movement denouncing the US war machine, neoliberal impositions, and Trump’s neoconservative agenda. We enjoin our freedom-loving fellow Filipinos to call for the expulsion of US troops, the removal of US military bases, the abrogation of unequal treaties, and the condemnation of US military aid which are being used in the government’s tyrannical “war on dissent” and counterinsurgency program.
The US election is over yet the struggle of the American people and the peoples of the world for genuine freedom, democracy and justice will persevere.
