Trumpism: A Morbid Symptom of Declining Empire

The second Trump administration exposes the deepening crisis of US imperialism and deterioration of its preeminence within the global capitalist system. While still the dominant global economic and military power, the US is seeing fracture and decline in the “world order” that it has constructed and maintained through bipartisan commitment and execution since the end of World War II. It is facing counter-hegemonic challenges by Russia and its emergent allies in Central Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as by political division and political fragmentation among its allies in Europe and Asia; by Chinese economic influence across Asia and Africa and its subsequent burgeoning military buildup; and from Iran and its aligned forces across the Middle East.

Eat the Rich

The image is of planet Earth encapsulated by flames to represent climate change. Big corporations or billionaires burn fossil fuels, the mass production of beef which causes deforestation, the use fertilizers and equipment that produce carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and harmful man-made gasses; all of which ultimately deplete the ozone layer which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet light rays of the sun.
In the image the Earth is clearly distressed and has chosen to consume a miniscule number of individuals. This is an attempt for survival. On the left is Richard Sackler, an American billionaire, businessman and physician. Richard Sackler is best known as the developer of OxyContin. Richard Sackler is the cause of the Opioid Crisis in the United States. His net worth is currently $1 billion dollars, while the Sackler family as a whole is worth about $15 billion.
