ical situations are very different the united states did barack obama by no means a radical by no means a socialist but someone who was identified with the liberal slash labor wing of the democratic party obama raise the hopes of tens of millions of people and while he has not delivered he is not sarkozy he is not the new british government he has pursued a counter cyclical keynesian policy of pumping large sums of money into the economy . so that. the american situation is a little different is that why people's reactions are so different that yes the united states does not have a welfare state in the european sense it has if we just talk about psychological reaction yet do you feel like inertia is sort of becoming a trend in the united states because we know for example recently there have been polls out that are seeing in the united states nearly half of the population is

believe that the federal government poses some kind of threat to u.s. freedoms and civil rights but it seems that you know instead of acting this philosophy of sort of i'm going to sit on the couch and see what happens has some somehow prevailing why is that first. americans are the most media saturated society on earth they are bombarded with counterfeit opinions that come from the mass media to them and they are encouraged to believe that these are their their ideas they become consumers as against actors and producers of political culture whose ideas are reflected in the media is that there were actions. the ideas of the right the far right and a center that would be considered conservative in the european context so by no means no opinions of not all sides of the spec by no means. are responsible left to

find that when one must search. and it does not exist on media in media labor leaders are almost never taken seriously in media unless they go on strike is that why people feel like there is no real labor movement in the united states because we were seeing millions of people who've lost their jobs whereas the labor movement the labor movement. is one third roughly of was what it was at the end of the second world war the labor movement is there but its history has been the formed by cold war anticommunism and by some of the worst labor was in the developed world what kind of relationship would you say the labor movement has with the government us well the labor movement has aligned itself with the democratic party. since the one nine hundred thirty s.

. that alliance made sense and was essentially an orphan sivan positive alliance in the one nine hundred thirty s. and one nine hundred forty s. and over the last fifteen years or so beginning with the election of john sweeney now richard trumka the national leadership has been. a lot better in terms of its commitment to workers' rights and its attempt to sort of in instill and encourage militancy brought at the same time the relationship with the democratic it's been called by some like a bad marriage the union are sort of like the women within the bad marriage they know it's bad but they're afraid to get up i want to ask about the middle class in the us you know teacher and right from a marxist standpoint yes and recently a lot of attention has been brought to the issue of the gap between the rich and poor in the united states that this gap keeping that keeps expanding has become

bigger than it's ever been is the middle class basically going to cease to exist at some point well in the united states. the people who are called the middle class are the working class that's a very important point and the consciousness what happens if the working class is not working what are known to the working class is not working. then they become what in marxist terms would be the women proletariat the marginalized poor do you know the utopian movie playground or yeah a world where you have a small group of enormously powerful super corporations and a world and the masses of people living in a kind of endless slum and the rich in that in that novel the elites are planning to colonize outer space but if we're showing to the other planets that he speaking of you know you know we need to controlling the situation on the masses really being in terrible conditions many are saying that that is what's going on right now

yeah well so it's not it and isn't it is yes yes no it's not a fantasy at all the united states is the richest country in human history in terms of its general wealth and it has had more poor people than any other rich country in human history the united states was never seriously invaded the united states never had to look for any ports the united states had the richest agriculture for any developed country on earth the united states had ports of course the atlantic and the pacific and the gulf coast and the mississippi valley that it's all these fantastic advantages along with being a magnet for capital and labor for the whole world and these advantages these advantages bred a consciousness of basically having it all. and not really looking at the people below you right now in the united states many people

are at a disadvantage millions of people tells me this tens of million writes post the economic collapse yes do you think this american sort of pride and patriotism that you mention will end up feeding and where we can ascend up leading the country well they're great dangers today in the united states there are dangerous and sinister reactionary forces who. are like european countries where these forces are organized in groups like the national front and in in france and here these forces have become a significant force in the republican party and. the dangers of these elements becoming a major power in the us government and what they would do to immigrants to minorities to workers what they would do in terms of. at the very

least creating a deadlock with the obama administration. the possibilities are catastrophic potentially potentially is it time for a third party in the u.s. intelligence you know americans are at a distrust you know a lot of them are to distrust with governments right with congress right is it time to create a third party and who should carry out this push so that this actually happened was because there's been a lot of talk about it's you know what can change the political establishment or how do we how do we create a third party i have always believed that the best way and. the communist party of the united states. still stood and stepped stands for this in the long run to create a kind of broad party of labor and the people amass labor party what we face is the reality that. the people who are most committed to progressive political action have been the most loyal to the democratic party what's going to

make a shift forward for the country hopefully hopefully the working people will fight off their reactionary and quasi fascist forces who call themselves tea party and other absurd names and nothing to do with what they really are hopefully. the. obama administration will begin to itself with labor and progressive forces radically improve on the united states used to present health care legislation as the beginning for a real national health care legislation and most of all most of all. a policy of the kind that roosevelt launched in one nine hundred thirty five one social security unemployment insurance national labor relations act and a whole series that was eventually adding three years later in minimum wages fair

labor standards begin to provide legislation to create a real public sector and called bail out the people begin to invest in the masses begin to invest in labor this brings us to my last question you have said before that you believe that barack obama could be a unifying leader for the working class in the united states do you still believe that our yes i still believe that because. there is no other alternative in the short run or in the medium run. the defeat of the obama administration will be can only mean the strengthening of not only reactionary but reactionary and racist forces. and set back people struggles in the united states.
