There is no doubt that Donald Trump is an unpleasant individual. Many people call him racist, sexist and narcissistic – with good reason. His attitude towards the environment, immigration and the under-privileged is awful.
But social divisions, racism and environmental destruction all existed before Trump’s presidency and they will continue after it. While his language is particularly nasty, like all capitalist politicians he represents a brutal system that puts profits before people. A different president might have been a ‘lesser evil’ but they would not have ended the problems inflicted by the profit system.
We don’t need to get rid of a particular politician or party. We need to abolish the whole capitalist system and the profit-seeking force that drives it.
