Remember that metaphor about the frog that slowly cooks to death in
the pot of increasingly warm water? Leftists have used it for years
to describe how people can accept dwindling health care, fading job
opportunities, eroding racial and gender equality--as long as the
loss occurs gradually. Now, with Donald Trump having slouched off
to Washington, most of the mainstream media are working overtime to
convince us that we can still stand the heat. Leave it to John
Bellamy Foster, one of the world's outstanding radical scholars, to
expose Trump for who and what he is: a neo-fascist. Just at the
boiling point, Foster offers us cool logic to comprehend the system
that created Trump's moral and political emergency--and to resist
it. In Trump in the White House, John Bellamy Foster does what no
other Trump analyst has done before: he places the president and
his administration in full historical context. Foster reveals that
Trump is merely the endpoint of a stagnating economic system whose
liberal democratic sheen has begun to wear thin. Beneath a veneer
of democracy, we see the authoritarian rule that oversees
decreasing wages, anti-science and climate-change denialism, a
dying public education system, and expanding prisons and
military--all powered by a phony populism seething with centuries
of racism that never went away. But Foster refuses to end his book
in despair. Inside his analysis is a clarion call to fight back.
Protests, popular demands, coalitions: everyone is needed. Change
can't happen without radical, anti-capitalist politics, and Foster
demonstrates that--even now, with the waters ever warming--it may
yet be possible to stop the desecration of the Earth; to end
endless war; to create global solidarity with all oppressed people.
Could a frog do that?
