Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections is a political earthquake that has shattered the entire global Establishment. Trump is not the problem, however, but a symptom of a more general malaise in society. The system has broken, and the American Dream has become a nightmare for millions. John Peterson of Socialist Appeal USA analyses “America’s Brexit”.

The world waits with bated breath as the “leader of the free world” is selected. The Election 2016 campaign has been like no other seen in the US for a century or more. Voters are trying to make up their minds as to “which candidate they hate less”. As John Peterson of Socialist Appeal USA comments, the US elections have destabilised the already chaotic world situation even further.

Around the world, millions of people are waiting nervously to find out whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will become the most powerful person in the free world. Whoever wins, the election result is not the end of the process; for Marxists, the work is just beginning!
