Only the demise of the Democratic Party can free up the potential of the
people to resolve the many problems created by capitalism and imperialism.

*=E2=80=9CBernie=E2=80=99s millions of supporters  remain inside of an enti=
ty that is
completely hostile to their demands.=E2=80=9D*

Bernie Sanders supporters have received a sharp dose of reality in recent
weeks. After an inspiring win in Nevada, the DNC coalesced around Joe Biden
to ensure that Bernie Sanders=E2=80=99 momentum would be a temporary phenom=
enon.
Black misleaders from across the American South were quickly mobilized by
the DNC to give Biden a boost of =E2=80=9Celectability=E2=80=9D with Black =
Americans. Voter
suppression tactics employed across states such as Texas, California, and
Michigan had voters waiting for hours to choose their candidate if they
were able to vote at all. Endorsements for Biden kept on coming from ruling
class servants such as Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. The DNC deployed
the entirety of its resources to stop Bernie Sanders and clear the path for
Joe Biden.

Of course, Bernie Sanders and his advisers are not without fault for the
downward trajectory of his campaign. A historical materialist analysis
presupposes that all developments are shaped by a struggle between
subjective and objective forces. Objectively, Sanders and his legion of
supporters were always going to be derailed by the Democratic Party=E2=80=
=99s
capitalist donors. Subjectively, Sanders=E2=80=99 expression of loyalty to =
his
=E2=80=9Cfriend Joe (Biden)=E2=80=9D and the politics of civility indicates=
 that the
insurgent movement behind Sanders still has a long way to go before
breaking from the suffocating grip of the Democratic Party. Whether
subjective or objective conditions have played more of a role in the sharp
downward turn of Sanders=E2=80=99 =E2=80=9Celectability=E2=80=9D in the 202=
0 primary is not the
question. The most critical question of the moment is whether a massive
break from the Democratic Party is more likely now than it was after the
2016 election exposed massive fissures between the party elite and its
youthful, working-class base.

*=E2=80=9CSanders and his legion of supporters were always going to be dera=
iled by
the Democratic Party=E2=80=99s capitalist donors.=E2=80=9D*

It isn=E2=80=99t as if anti-Democratic Party sentiment doesn=E2=80=99t exis=
t in the Sanders
camp. The morning after Sanders=E2=80=99 defeat in Michigan, a significant =
number
of his followers tweeted #DemExit to express their anger toward the
Democratic Party establishment. There is a very real possibility that
Biden=E2=80=99s candidacy will manifest even more disaffection from the you=
nger
generation than Hillary Clinton for the simple fact that Sanders=E2=80=99 p=
olicy
agenda is now favored by majorities in both parties. However, the current
forces behind Sanders and much of the left generally struggle with the
issue of power. The likelihood that millions of Sanders supporters will
continue to try and organize their way into the Democratic Party machine is
just as high, if not higher, than the possibility that they leave the
Democratic Party for good and focus instead on other strategies to win
power behind their demands.

Much of what occurs politically in the United States is dependent on the
political activity and organization of Black America. Black Americans have
been the most radical and revolutionary force in the U.S.=E2=80=99 destruct=
ive
history. However, Black America is not a monolithic people. The last
forty-plus years has seen the state-ordered destruction of the Black
liberation movement be seized by the ruling class to create a misleadership
class that holds great influence over Black voters. Class contradictions in
the realm of political ideas have sharpened between increasingly
impoverished Black youth and those older Black voters who believe that a
proximity to power and status is more important than the class interests of
a formerly enslaved people. That means warding off the Republican
boogeyman, especially Donald Trump, whose very presence in the White House
is an existential threat to the Civil Rights brand that the misleadership
class has built over the course of two generations.

*=E2=80=9CThe misleadership class holds great influence over Black voters.=
=E2=80=9D*

The political conditions that exist in Black America shape the entire
political landscape, but they have been suppressed by the popular
mainstream adage that Sanders alone could have won the Black vote if he had
tried harder. Sanders could indeed have done more to appeal to the most
progressive sentiments of Black America by speaking directly to the needs
of the community. However, to do so would go against Sanders=E2=80=99 class=
-first
social democratic political tradition. A major ideological weakness of
social democracy is its inability to challenge power beyond the realm of
bourgeois elections. Another critical weakness of social democracy in
imperialist contexts is the failure of the ideology to respect the right of
self-determination of* all* oppressed nations.

By running in the Democratic Party and espousing the worldview of
=E2=80=9Cdemocratic socialism,=E2=80=9D Sanders was in a double bind from t=
he beginning.
Sanders had little incentive to shed his anti-Venezuelan views or appeal to
the interests of Black Americans without facing a gauntlet of establishment
wrath for embracing =E2=80=9Cdictators=E2=80=9D or assuming he knows what B=
lack Americans
should think and do about their problems. The Black political establishment
was never going to favor Bernie Sanders. And Sanders himself was in no
political position to take a leap outside of the bounds of the Democratic
Party.

That leap cannot be made within the electoral arena at all. It must be made
in the streets and in the struggle to galvanize a mass Black political
conversation, led by Black America. The conversation will inevitably take a
class struggle orientation if not for the simple fact that the vast
majority of Black Americans do not hold positions of power or status. Most
Black Americans are workers, and very poor workers at that. If the
Democratic Party is going to die, it will have to be Black Americans who
kill it. Everyone else in the struggle must organize their own communities
to oppose racist state terror, endless war, and capitalist plunder and use
any means necessary to unite workers and poor people around a set of
specific demands.

*=E2=80=9CIf the Democratic Party is going to die, it will have to be Black
Americans who kill it.=E2=80=9D*

The Democratic Party continues to be the most formidable impediment to the
development of a mass movement in the United States. Bernie Sanders=E2=80=99
campaign has millions of devoted supporters who are committed to Medicare
for All, a Green New Deal, and a wide array of universal programs that
would improve the lives of the eighty percent of people suffering under
late stage capitalism. However, those millions remain inside of an entity
that is completely hostile to their demands. Tens of millions of dollars
have been donated and invested in a Democratic Party candidate. It is clear
from the ruling class=E2=80=99 reaction to Sanders that neither he nor anyo=
ne like
him will be allowed to hold the most coveted position in the U.S. imperial
state. The Democratic Party is thus where social movements are sent to die.
Social democratic movements such as the one led by Sanders will be crushed
again and again should future attempts to wrestle control of the Democratic
Party be mobilized after the 2020 election debacle.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States and across the world poses
both dangers and opportunities in terms of facilitating a mass exit from
the Democratic Party. U.S. imperialism is inherently structured to impose
the utmost of exploitation upon workers and oppressed people. Black workers
who disproportionately make up the low-wage capitalist service economy will
be hurt the most by both interruptions in work and an increased exposure to
the virus from the inability to take off from work. At least thirty-three
million workers do not have access to any sick time at all. The United
States has no public health system capable of testing and treating people
on a nation-wide scale. Even worse, U.S. imperial sanctions have left
nations such as Iran vulnerable to the spread of the disease and Americans
of all classes are blockaded from access to Cuban-made anti-viral
medications that have helped over a thousand people recover from the virus
in Italy and China.

*=E2=80=9CThe Democratic Party is where social movements are sent to die.=
=E2=80=9D*

The putrid response to the coronavirus is compounded by the fact that the
U.S. lacks a single-payer healthcare system and is ruled by a capitalist
dictatorship that prioritizes profits over the needs of the masses. In
contrast, China=E2=80=99s policy of containment has nearly eradicated the v=
irus
from Wuhan. China's central government built two hospitals, mobilized tens
of thousands of health workers, and employed its massive high-tech industry
to track and treat those who contracted COVID-19. Countries like Cuba,
Vietnam, and South Korea have taken similar measures with great success. As
the virus spreads around the world, an opportunity exists for experiments
with international solidarity and socialist political organization in the
United States.

The Democratic Party, however, is more interested in bailing out capitalist
enterprises at a clip of 1.5 trillion dollars than with mobilizing an
effective response to the virus. Bernie Sanders=E2=80=99 New Deal-like spee=
ch was
ignored by the Democrats and the corporate media. Only the demise of the
Democratic Party can free up the potential of the people to resolve the
many problems created by capitalism and imperialism. The repression of
Sanders creates more favorable conditions for the Democrats=E2=80=99 demise=
 to
occur, but only if the people are ready to seize the time. And as of this
moment, fear is in command of politics in the U.S.=E2=80=94 a fear of China=
, of
Donald Trump, and of socialism. Fear must be replaced with a desire for
control over the commanding heights of the political and economic system
that dictates our lives. Organizing our way out of the Democratic Party is
a critical first step in this process.
