An interesting analysis by Marxism-Leninism Today.
The 2016
elections reflect the deepening crisis of the capitalist economic
system in general and the US political party system in particular.
The
Democratic primary contests are over. Sanders has endorsed Clinton.
Supporters of Bernie Sanders are being prodded to accept meekly the
corporate Democrat Hillary Clinton as the Lesser Evil.
Some suggest
that this foreshadows, by some alchemy, a “resounding progressive
mandate,” someday.
For example,
The Nation magazine, a liberal bastion that supported Sanders,
unfurls the white flag of surrender (June 22-27):
“A
Democratic Party that incorporates and embraces the ideals of the
Sanders campaign and the people who supported it will be better
positioned to defeat Donald Trump in November – and to govern the
country with resounding progressive mandate in the years to come .”
