KAMALA HARRIS, LIKE SENILE JOE, HAVE A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF SERVING CRIMINAL
BANKSTERS AND THE RICH.
All of this is, if we
can be permitted to use Biden’s catchphrase, “malarkey.” Harris has already
proven herself as a trusted servant of the interests of the rich and powerful
at the expense of the working class. The Wall Street Journal wrote
last week that Wall Street financers had breathed a “sigh of relief” at Biden’s
pick of Harris. Industry publication American Banker noted
that her steadiest stream of campaign funding has come from financial industry
professionals and their most trusted law firms.
The
Democrats hope that the endless celebration of the trite, empty symbolism of
Harris’ candidacy will serve as a repeat of Barack Obama’s run for president in
2008, deploying identity politics to cover over the right-wing content of her
record and that of the Democratic Party. This is the logic of the reactionary
politics of racial, ethnic and gender identity, promoted incessantly by the
pseudo-left opponents of Marxism.
The nomination of Kamala Harris and the
right-wing logic of identity politics
20 August 2020
The
Democratic Party concluded the third night of its convention on Wednesday,
culminating in the official nomination of California Senator Kamala Harris as
the vice-presidential candidate of Joe Biden.
Wednesday’s
proceedings were in line with the inane and insipid character of the event as a
whole. Various reactionaries and multi-millionaires, from Hillary Clinton to
Nancy Pelosi, declared the urgent need to elect Biden, the corrupt corporate
shill from Delaware recast as a living saint, to right all wrongs and restore
America to the path of prosperity and righteousness.
No actual
program was advanced to deal with the massive social and economic catastrophe
produced by the coronavirus pandemic and the bipartisan response of the ruling
class to it. Everything was reduced to the fictionalized narrative of the life
of Biden and his comrade in arms, Kamala Harris.
The
selection of Harris was presented as a “historic” moment in American politics.
This appraisal was based entirely on the fact that Harris is the first African
American and Indian American woman selected by the world’s oldest political
party to run for vice president. There were the inevitable proclamations that
young girls throughout the country will conclude from this fact that they too
can someday be vice president of the United States of America.
All of
this is, if we can be permitted to use Biden’s catchphrase, “malarkey.” Harris
has already proven herself as a trusted servant of the interests of the rich
and powerful at the expense of the working class. The Wall Street
Journal wrote last week that Wall Street financers had breathed a
“sigh of relief” at Biden’s pick of Harris. Industry publication American
Banker noted that her steadiest stream of campaign funding has come
from financial industry professionals and their most trusted law firms.
Just before
she ended her bid for the presidency in December 2019, Harris’ campaign boasted
the most billionaire backers, including oil fortune heir Gordon Getty and
vulture capitalist Dean Metropoulos.
As San
Francisco District Attorney from 2004 to 2011, Harris pursued an agenda that
included the implementation of a law to fine and jail the parents of truant
students for up to a year. As California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2017,
she warned parents across the state that they would face “the full force and
consequences of the law” if their children missed out on too many days of
school.

LABOR!
During
her tenure, Harris also oversaw California’s resistance to a Supreme Court
order that it release prisoners from the state’s overcrowded prisons. Her
attorneys (“for the people,” as Harris put it last night) argued in court that
releasing too many prisoners would deplete the cheap labor pool of inmates who
fight the state’s notorious wildfires for less than $2 a day.
Serving as
the junior senator from California since 2017, Harris sits on the committees
overseeing the federal budget, the judiciary, homeland security and the
intelligence agencies.
Through her
position on the Intelligence Committee, Harris has been privy to the most
sensitive information about American imperialism’s criminal operations all over
the world. In this role, she has backed the Democrats’ anti-Russia campaign
aimed at pressuring the Trump administration into taking a more hostile posture
towards Moscow.

HILLARY HAS MUCH DEFENSE ON.
She also
supports the persecution of WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange, who faces
175 years in a US prison for exposing American military war crimes, declaring
that the organization had done “considerable harm” to the US.
BLOG EDITOR: KAMALA HARRIS SENATE COLLEAGUE DIANNE FEINSTEIN
IS THE BIGGEST WAR PROFITEER IN U.S. HISTORY. HER HUSBAND, RICHARD BLUM, HAS
HANDED OUT GENEROUS ‘CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS’ TO VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE DEM POLS
CLASS SO THEY KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT ABOUT FEINSTEIN-BLUM’S STAGGERING
SELF-SERVING CORRUPTION.
While feinting to the left as a proponent of cutting the
Pentagon’s $750 billion-plus annual budget, in July Harris voted against a
proposal by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders that would have cut funding by a
meager 10 percent, saying she supported the idea but that any cuts to the
military should be done “strategically.”
Harris
represents the Democratic Party, a party of Wall Street billionaires, the
intelligence agencies and the military. Her nomination Wednesday came just one day
after the Democrats paraded a number of Republicans who endorsed Biden,
including Colin Powell—the first African American chairman of the joint chiefs
of staff and a chief architect of the 2003 war in Iraq—and the widow of the
notorious warmonger, Senator John McCain.
Harris’
closing remarks at the convention last night were preceded by those of Obama,
of which we will have more to say later. Suffice it to say that Obama, the
first African American to be nominated by the Democrats and win the presidency,
proceeded to bail out the banks, continue the wars of George W. Bush, implement
a policy of drone murder, and deport more immigrants than any of his
predecessors.
It was
the right-wing policies of the Obama administration that paved the way for the
ascension of Trump to the presidency.
The
Democrats hope that the endless celebration of the trite, empty symbolism of
Harris’ candidacy will serve as a repeat of Barack Obama’s run for president in
2008, deploying identity politics to cover over the right-wing content of her
record and that of the Democratic Party. This is the logic of the reactionary
politics of racial, ethnic and gender identity, promoted incessantly by the
pseudo-left opponents of Marxism.
However, the
elevation of an increasing number of women, African Americans and other ethnic
minorities into positions of power, from city councils, to mayoral offices,
police departments and the presidency itself, has done nothing to advance the
interests of the working class. In fact, over the last four decades wealth
inequality has grown most rapidly within racial groups, as a small layer of the
population has been elevated into positions of power and privilege while
conditions for those of all races and genders in the bottom 90 percent have
deteriorated.
In addition to Obama, the likes of Supreme Court
Justice Clarence
Thomas, national security advisors Condoleezza Rice and Susan Rice, and Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton—and, one might add, British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and German Chancellor Angela Merkel—have shown that women and racial
minorities can pursue the interests of the financial oligarchy as ruthlessly as
any other representative of the ruling class.
There is
something fitting in the selection of Harris to co-lead the Democrats’ ticket.
The response of the Democrats to the mass multi-racial and multi-ethnic
protests against police violence that erupted earlier this year was to divert
them into the politics of racial division, using the reactionary and false
claim that what was involved was a conflict between “white America” and “black
America,” rather than a conflict between the working class and capitalism. This effort now
culminates in the selection of the former “top cop” of California as the
Democrats’ vice presidential candidate.
This is
aimed at blocking the emergence of a powerful, united movement of the working
class. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the criminal indifference of the
entire ruling elite to the lives of the working class. As was shown with the
near unanimous passage of the trillion-dollar CARES Act bailout, their concern
is for their stock portfolios and corporate profits at the expense of more than
175,000 people who have now died and the more than 5.5 million who have been
infected by coronavirus.
The fight to
advance the interests of the working class will have to be waged through the
methods of class struggle, in opposition to the Democrats and Republicans and
the capitalist system which they defend.
