The United States and its empire is presently ruled by a belligerent
and deranged narcissist. A racist. A warmonger. A xenophobe. A
misogynist.
We have confronted imperial presidents before, but
Donald Trump has sharply escalated the risk of nuclear and
environmental destruction. He is waging a far-ranging assault on the
poor and the working class, especially immigrants and people of color.
He contributes to an atmosphere in which the worst racists, Neo-Nazis,
and sexists, the most reactionary elements in our society, feel
emboldened to act on their hatred.
As publishers of books that
seek to explain how we arrived at this perilous moment — and how we
can overcome it — we want to express our solidarity with all of those
in Davos, Switzerland, and beyond, who are confronting the clear and
present danger Trump presents to the world.
We need an
international movement to confront this threat. We need to work across
the borders and divisions Trump is seeking to intensify and exploit. We
need to overcome the fear and intimidation he fuels. And we need to
clearly declare our commitment to overcoming not just Trump, but
Trumpism, and the conditions that allowed him to rise to power.
