Statement on the Election of President Trump

The American Communist Party has taken note of the inauguration of the 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

It is our view that the systemic contradictions of the United States of America rapidly drive it toward constitutional dissolution. The contradiction between the official form of the state and the real content of America’s novel historical circumstances have already brought the former past a point of termination. The reconstitution of the United States is now inevitable.

With the reshaping of territory, signaled by the incoming administration’s public designs on Canada, Greenland and Panama, comes an inevitable reshaping of state power. This is a reshaping that is certain to divide both the highest levels of power and the country as a whole.

The Party affirms its commitment, outlined in its Program and Constitution, toward the construction of One United Republic in America, the full restoration of popular sovereignty, and the promotion of the principle of national self-determination in both North America and in all other nations affected by US and NATO Imperialism.

The Party exercises utmost vigilance, just as it had under the previous administration, in defending the constitutionally and civilly enumerated rights and liberties of the American people against illegitimate exercises of state power.

The change in administration does nothing to dissuade the Party’s commitment to deepening the just struggle of American labor.

The future belongs to the working class.

The fight goes on.
