The Bankruptcy of U.S. Institutions

The current situation in the United States shows
the anarchy and chaos into which the U.S. government and financial
oligarchy have plunged the country, because that is all they have to
offer in their efforts to save the imperialist system and their
absolute power. The president's response to the broad opposition
movement of the people and youth to U.S. governance, police and
military power illustrates the bankruptcy of U.S. institutions, the
obsolete constitution and undemocratic system. His response is anarchy
and violence, the imposition of police and military powers, total
contempt for the people, war, aggression and dictate. The situation is
such that the powers of the dominant U.S. elite, with the darkest and
most reactionary forces in place, have declared that what the United
States cannot dominate, it must destroy. This applies not only abroad
but also at home. If we cannot contain the anger of the people and
youth who aspire to a bright, just future, free from discrimination,
impunity, exploitation and war, we must subdue them and force them to
submit, the ruling elite say.
 The images,
reports, interviews and videos available of speeches by the youth
reveal this anger, this search for modern solutions, new and modern
mechanisms which enable them to be an active force which can pave the
way for progress in the United States and contribute to the same for
the peoples of the world.
The Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist)
has long pointed out that within the conditions of neo-liberalism, the
authorities in place in various countries are in contradiction with the
conditions. This is evident in the United States with the murders, the
military response and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The result is an
extremely disturbing situation for the U.S. working class and people,
and for the peoples of the world. Settling scores with the U.S.
authorities is the task which the peoples of the world are joining the
working class and people of the United States to take up.
The ruling authority appears as the greatest
obstacle to the peoples of the United States and the world in their
efforts to settle scores with the imperialist system and its state, and
to emerge as one humanity which controls the conditions it faces and
that has the authority to govern itself and to face the conditions
objectively.
The current situation is one sign of the enormous
dangers which face the American people and the peoples of the world. In
this period of pandemic, which requires the collective effort of the
world to overcome it, the situation that prevails in the United States
with the governance of private interests at the helm is very fragile
and dangerous. Everything is done to block the collective response of
the people and this block, this wall called American democracy, blocks
the whole of humanity.
In Canada and Quebec, the governments and cartel
parties have quickly, and even jointly, made declarations and adopted
motions to denounce racism and discrimination, rejecting the need to
modernize the state institutions that propagate the racist arrangements
and governments' racist policies as part of everything they do to
ensure that the people do not vest decision-making power in themselves.
This blocking of the New is systematic and objective. It persists and
suffocates.
The people must persevere in transforming
themselves into an organized force, which aims to play its conscious
role, which activates the human factor/social conscience to place
itself at the heart of decision-making. The opposite will become a
block.
Let us firmly support the struggle of the people
and the youth in the United States!
