The question of our era is "why are the Republicans going so rightwing crazy ?" Why is it that almost everyday we hear of some outrageous statement, some wild legislation attacking workers, women or people of color ? WHY IS THE RIGHT WING SO DESPERATE ? THEY HAVE ALL THE MONEY !


 The epidemic of desperate political actions and declarations by Republicans means that a major section of the bourgeoisie feels a political crisis. It approaches part of Lenin's definition of a revolutionary situation: the ruling class no longer can rule in the same way.  For some reason, the sections of the bourgeoisie represented by the Republican Party do not feel that they can continue to adhere to the laws and customs of US bourgeois democracy as it has been practiced for the last 100 years or so. The Republicans are elevating the Legislative branches over the Executive unconstitutionally and rudely in terms of American political custom.
