I'm a Neverpoilievre Canadian committed to continuing to fight for rights for people including lesbians, gay men, trans people, women, unfairly treated immigrants and just about anyone targeted the Musk/Trump administration. Our work is never done.

Ten Basic Observations
1 This is not 1933 Germany. It's worse. The coup coincides with a civilisational crisis of climate change; it is nuclear armed. The USA is not a troublesome friend. Their government is our enemy, and seeks our destruction. The US is now the most dangerous nation in the world.

2 The Musk coup is more than a national coup. The tech oligarchy seeks to consolidate a global corporate totalitarian dictatorship. A fascist alliance whose power transcends national boundaries seeks to destroy democracy and reduce the nation state to an instrument of its power.

3 Trump cannnot be negotiated with. He is immune to diplomacy; he does not bargain. He may be tactically distracted or manipulated. Diplomacy is useful inasmuch as it gives him cover to retreat, but the only real options are to surrender to him or to defeat him.

4 Trump is a frontman: he is not the power behind the coup. The tech bros, Project 2025 and their ideologues are the real threat. Beyond Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg lie Peter Thiel, Russel Vought, Curtis Yarvin, Kevin Roberts. Learn their names. They are running the world now.

5 Don't pin hopes on the US judicial system or the mid-term elections. By all means, use any available instruments to delay the carnage and buy time for the resistance. But expect American democracy and the US constitution to be demolished before this summer.

7 The US piggy bank is smashed. Its military is in the hands of the enemy. The surviving liberal democracies must fill the gap: to fund UN programmes, defend Ukraine, deter Russian, Chinese and US aggressions. No truck, no trade with the US or Russia. Extreme caution with China.

8 Liberal democracies must re-arm. We must seek anti-fascist alliances where we can on every continent. Assume that a world war is beginning. It has. Do we have the means to win this fight? We do, because we must. The choices are to fight or to die. Ask Ukraine.

10 Expel the US from NATO now: there are ample grounds. It threatens other members with military aggression, supports Russia against Ukraine and subverts democratic processes in member states. Rename and expand NATO to include Japan, South Korea, Australia, Ukraine, Taiwan, Mexico, Brazil, etc.
