Markin Shasok Shreni Ebong Trump Jomana

“There is no doubt that for the past hundred years, American capitalism has been home to the most powerful and class-conscious ruling class in world history. They control both state power and the economy, seeking to establish their hegemony in their own country and throughout the world. At the heart of this regime is an ideological construct that seeks to convey that the rule of the country has nothing to do with the monstrous economic power of the capitalist class, and that no matter how financially divided American society becomes, its commitment to democracy remains intact. According to this conventional ideology, the interests of the super-rich, no matter how much they rule the market, do not rule the state. This separation is important for liberal democracy. However, given the structural crisis that the US economy and world capitalism are facing, and the weakening of the liberal democratic state system itself, this conventional ideology can no longer survive. From here, a deep rift is being created within the ruling class; a new right-wing force has been born, the open domination of capitalism over the state” . Starting in this way, the prominent Marxist thinker John Bellamy Foster, in his long article titled "The U.S. Ruling Class and the Trump Regime", shows how a section of the US capitalist class around Trump is openly controlling the state system of the current neo-fascist US administration, while the influential group of former liberal politics has become a junior partner. Although the book is written in the context of the United States as a whole, the reader will understand the surprising similarity with our country. In India too, we are observing how a special group of the capitalist class is capturing the state system and plundering water, forests, land and state resources. Added to this is the rise of reactionary communal ideology, which, on the whole, points towards a new fascist trend.
