Fightback Radio #14: Trump's 'coup' and the crisis of US democracy

In this recent talk Antonio Balmer - from the Socialist Revolution USA editorial board - discusses the unprecedented dramatic events in Washington DC, which are yet another symptom of the decline of American capitalism and the extreme political polarization within society. The storming of Capitol Hill by a mob of Trump supporters on 6 January is a graphic illustration of the deep crisis gripping US capitalism, and the whole system of American bourgeois democracy. This 'insurrection' has exposed the fragility of US bourgeois democracy.
