Fascism becoming commonplace in the new 'real America'
We do not have much reason to suppose that the Trump case was just a diversion and that the developments in the US would find their own course. It is a process which would pressurise Biden for these obligations, with some kind of brake maybe.

During the Capitol raid, a lumpen with a Viking hat, who expressed its hatred against communism and globalism and said that "We will take America back from its enemies", became the symbol of the event. Trump, who was elected with the material and moral support of the forces of capital, lobbies, interest groups, deep bureaucracy, who are the fixed guarantors of the country's real internal and external interests, and who could remain in power under the same conditions, was an extreme figure that no one could compete in lumpenness. Trump, was in accord with the symbol of his movement. It was not only Macron who said "This is not the real America" about the Capitol raid in the US, which has been claiming successfully to be the most democratic country while at the same time being the main perpetrator of coups, invasions and parliamentary raids in countries where it has been causing great distress to the peoples of the Middle East for two decades, first pressuring them not to democratize, then claiming to export democracy.
It is that Macron who was brought to power in order to stop Le Pen's fascist party by the united effort of the real forces of the state, as well as the voters who felt that they had to choose the lesser of two evils… Now, Macron thinks that the US will have overcome the accident caused by a madman, and with Biden, the ceremony in which the Republicans and Democrats share the power in turn will continue without an accident.
He also assumes that everything is going well in Europe with its established criteria, which have already become invalid because of the establishment of fascist regimes in two countries, and of new fascist parties having greater control in parliaments in other countries, and criteria which no one takes seriously, including Erdogan. Moreover, outside Europe, in Russia, India, the Philippines, Turkey, and China and countless other countries a political tumour, which is growing and being tried to be included in the established order under the name of liberal democracy, radical right populism, etc., is being metastasized. The US and the EU are not outside of this process, and in a world where others get pneumonia when the superpowers sneeze, the situation is extremely dangerous.
The world is paying the costs of the past years with rising fascism. In the US, the capital segments that support Trump have been in a clog for some time. It is this US that has determined the competition conditions for international capital through the World Trade Organization and various "G" meetings in the 90's-2000's, and GATTS, MAI-MIGA, TRIPS agreements; which tried to take the states with legal and bureaucratic restrictions on investment and capital circulation to international courts; which named those who did not submit as 'rouge states', threatening them with occupations and sanctions; and which had the agriculture and industry of less developed countries plundered with support of local collaborators.
Similarly, those white working class who were impoverished as a result of the closure or transfer of their industries to countries with cheap labour have become more and more anti-globalisation, and these reactions were easily channelled towards radical right and have created Trump who had come up with the slogan "We are abandoning globalisation". The Hispanics and black labourers, the women who filled the labour market, etc. were portrayed as enemies and this functioned as a vail for the greed of American financial capital. Trump's "Make America great again" slogan, quotas and taxes in favour of certain financial capitalist groups, withdrawal from some regional and global agreements, and his proposals of withdrawal from the Middle East due to high cost, etc. had parallels with the demands of the masses for more protective and nationalist economic policies. Trump voters assumed that the money spent on the labourers in other countries, on blacks in the US, on the wars waged to "export democracy" to other countries would be brought back to themselves.
This is now the position that eagerly demands the highest point of the US state, trying not to be lost to Biden or to the Democrats.
Past fascisms came with an army of some coloured shirts, parallel police force and paramilitary armies. The new fascism, with its lumpens with Viking hats and with Trump dancing awkwardly on the election rostrums with his lorry driver cap, blinking on the borders of populism, does not resemble the old models of fascism. However, the essence of the fascism called by the crisis that emerged in the conductor position of the economic policy that condemned the world to standard neoliberal prescriptions that promised to turn the world into a global village, in order to manage itself and rule the world, is the same. In America, fascism is born as a by-product of liberal democracy.
We do not have much reason to suppose that the Trump case was just a diversion and that the developments in the US would find their own course. It is a process which would pressurise Biden for these obligations, with some kind of brake maybe.
(…) The events have shown that the game might expand to an area outside of democratic institutions. The developments in the world show that the 50 per cents cannot be kept under control. It is of course likely that the expectations of those 50 per cents who go out onto the streets may not materialise. The Yellow Vests who were claimed to go out in France last year with the call of Le Pen is an example. Also, the demonstrations against racism, misogyny and anti-democracy following the election of Trump and as a reaction to the developments afterwards are signs that there is a live opposition fighting for the protection of the democratic gains. Surely, this resistance is crucial. Otherwise, it will be the working people who would pay the price for the games played on the borders of fascism.
Our reasons for assuming that developments in the US will show that the Trump case is a deviation, that everything will work out on its own, is less than proof that the opposite will happen. This is a process that forces Biden to pursue obligations and with less gas that Trump initiated. It is not difficult to say that the forces behind him, with or without Trump, will try to manage the next time in an action manner, and that they will try to accumulate votes by turning the accumulated anger of disgruntled laborers into racism. But we can recognize that the printing of the congress is premature to say that the defeated leader not knowing to withdraw will make it easier to make American liberal democracy redundant, but it is an indication that the game will now be played outside democratic institutions. The trends in the world show that fifty percent cannot be kept at home. Of course, there is a possibility that the home account of those fifty percent who went out on the road and on the streets did not match the market. The Yellow Vests, allegedly taking to the streets with the call of Le Pen in France last year, are a good example of this. In addition, starting after the elections that brought Trump to power in the USA; Protests against racism, hatred of women and democracy, rallies condemning Trump in every country he went to, and the rising anti-racist protests when George Floyd was finally murdered point to the existence of a mobile opposition to protect the won democratic positions. This resistance is undoubtedly vital. Otherwise, the cost of the game played on the frontiers of fascism will of course be paid by the laborers who were put on the field on behalf of those known forces, but not only that but the laborers of the whole world, not lumpen in Viking hats.
