The killing of Ahmaud Arbery

{The Trump administration has elevated far-right and fascistic individuals into the highest levels of the state and has systematically promoted racism against immigrants. As part of the drive to force a return to work amidst the expanding coronavirus pandemic, the administration has hailed far-right militia members and other fascistic organizations that have held demonstrations in state capitals to demand an end to social distancing measures.}

As I covered a few days ago, this is not just fascist right groups out on grass root endeavors. These are nationwide events being orchestrated by groups with an long range agenda. As last week, exposed were the Minnesota Dorr brothers organizing several state capital protest in which they were using these events to make money.

The meaning of the anti-quarantine protests

And in the above: The proto-fascist Proud Boys, militia members, and groups linked to the far right DeVos family, the Kochs, and other rightist figures participated in this mobilization.

{While some disoriented workers may have participated in this mobilization, the real social base of this manifestation was in the petty bourgeoisie, such as small business owners, shopkeepers, and small contractors. Small capitalists, who didn’t get the same bailouts as the richest segment of society, are also threatened with ruin by the current COVID-19-associated economic crisis.

These protests are not being organized by robed Klansmen or neo-Nazis. They are being put into motion by powerful interests, including the Michigan Conservative Coalition, a GOP front group, and the Michigan Freedom Fund, a conservative group with ties to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.}

{In 1932, Trotsky wrote about this phenomenon, “At the moment that the ‘normal’ police and military resources of the bourgeois dictatorship, together with their parliamentary screens, no longer suffice to hold society in a state of equilibrium—the turn of the fascist regime arrives. Through the fascist agency, capitalism sets in motion the masses of the crazed petty bourgeoisie and the bands of declassed and demoralized lumpenproletariat—all the countless human beings whom finance capital itself has brought to desperation and frenzy” (italics, my emphasis).}

In other words. How quickly we can lose site and turn on ourselves joining opposition forces within ignorance when you allow the ruling class to control the narrative.

It may appear to you that I lost track in this post from the initial post at the top. It's imperative that you use a sense of that article along with the underlining article from Socialist Resurgence to put the pieces together. As Joseph Kishore does so in the initial article towards its end. I'm using the Socialist Resurgence article to further correlate and support the foundation of how Kishore ends his article. Kishore is the current presidential candidate for the Socialist Equality Party.
