Hillary Clinton: Will She Be Crowned Queen of Capitalism?
Many have illusions that
as a Democrat and a woman,
Clinton's policies will be much more "worker friendly"
But in the final analysis,
she defends the same system of
capitalist exploitation and imperialism
It's what American presidents do best
If elected President, Hillary Clinton
would be yet another in a long line of
representatives of the U.S. ruling class
Just as her foreign policy would be
one of war and exploitation,
her domestic policy would be aimed at
maximizing the profits of the capitalists
Queen Hillary for the United States of Capitalism
Why is it that millions of ordinary Americans vote for conservative policies that seem inimical to their lives?
Why are the politicians who support health care reforms to give access to a doctor for the 47 million Americans without insurance branded as closet socialists or worse?
Why, in this upside-down world do so many blue-collar Americans vote Republican, and family farmers support a President whose Wall Street friends would gladly push them off the land?
Why do people shrug and say "tough", when they read that hundreds of thousands of Americans have lost their homes, after falling victims to crooked mortgage salesmen?
The most common response is that millions of people who otherwise could never have afforded a home are now enjoying the American Dream.
Perhaps the greatest political riddle of the US is why so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests?
If it were otherwise, then surely John Edwards, the telegenic Democratic candidate for President would lead the polls since he has dedicated his campaign to lifting tens of millions out of poverty.
Instead it is Hillary Clinton, whose economic policies might as well have been drafted by the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, who looks a shoo-in for the Democratic nomination.
Queen Hillary: Defender of Capitalist Exploitation & Imperialism
Pressure to support the "lesser evil" Democrats in the next Presidential elections is already high.
One of the center-pieces of the Democratic Party is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Many have illusions that as a Democrat and a woman, her policies will be much more "worker friendly".
But in the final analysis, she defends the same system of capitalist exploitation and imperialism as Bush Jr., Bill Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, etc.
She is sparing no expense and choosing her words carefully in order to prove to the billionaires that really run this country that she will be a loyal defender of the established order.
This is the same approach taken by every other candidate for the Presidency, be they Republicans or Democrats.
Hillary Clinton's main aim is to assure the ruling class that she will be a loyal defender of their interests and profits around the world. She can't possibly serve two masters - working people and the capitalists.
Based on the above, it's clear who she will choose.
For some, the fact that Hillary is a woman, and that she is allegedly a great defender of women's rights is reason enough to support her. But the reality is that the vast majority of women in the U.S. and across the planet are not in the privileged position of Hillary Clinton.
Due to the actions of U.S. capitalism and imperialism, which she supports enthusiastically, hundreds of millions of women around the world live in conditions of abject misery and subjugation.
The vast majority of women in the U.S. and across the planet are not in the privileged position of Hillary Clinton.
The wars Hillary supports are a disaster for women around the globe and here at home, as health care, child care, education, and other vital services are cut to fund them.
If elected President, Hillary Clinton would be yet another in a long line of representatives of the U.S. ruling class.
Just as her foreign policy would be one of war and exploitation, her domestic policy would be aimed at maximizing the profits of the capitalists.
We oppose Hillary Clinton because her interests are diametrically opposed to ours. Working people need a genuine alternative - a mass party of labor, armed with socialist policies that can truly address our needs.
Until we break from the two parties of the bosses, we will always be under the rule and domination of their corporate paymasters.
