A-Infos (en) France, Union Communiste Libertaire UCL - Extreme right-wing coup in the United States (ca, de, it, fr, pt)[machine translation]

As the US Congress was preparing to validate the election of Joe Biden, the 
demonstration by supporters of Donald Trump invaded the Capitol. In front of the 
building at the heart of US parliamentary power, militiamen destroyed Associated 
Press material openly calling for civil war while inside, covered in neo-Nazi, 
Confederate and anti-Semitic symbols, these people took pictures of themselves 
with cops, complicit in letting them invade the square, and threatened a coup. 
Explosive material was discovered at the scene. ---- Trump tried to appease by 
throwing fuel on the fire ---- During his speech, the president called on his 
supporters to return home and themselves while perpetuating the lies that 
galvanized them. Overwhelmed by the turn of this historically tragic event, he 
announced, with undisguised pride, that he loved the militiamen and continued to 
fuel them with his fantasy of massive fraud in a largely lost election.

This event is in the continuity of the murders perpetrated by the American 
extreme-right in Charlottesville (Viriginie), during an anti-fascist 
demonstration, or Kenosha (Wisconsin), in full demonstration of the movement 
Black Lives Matters, and with the rise in power of the militias. armies like the 
Proud Boys, which Trump had encouraged to mobilize during the election.

Trump's entire tenure is summed up in these words and in this coup.

In France, the fascosphere is excited
Identitarians, negationists and nationalists from all walks of life rejoice and 
exult or try to create a diversion by vomiting on the Black Live Matters movement 
and its alleged violence. The neofascists know how to recognize each other and 
confirm that in France, they are ready to support a coup d'état. Trump and his 
strategy have indeed been emulated since the European tour of his special adviser 
Steve Bannon in 2018. The unwavering support, the elements of identical languages 
and hazy theories have punctuated the speeches of the leaders of the right and 
the French extreme right. And the strategy is paying off if we judge by the 
meetings of Macron's advisers with the Le Pen or the still worrying 
trivialization of reactionary terminology in the mouth of the French president.

Anti-fascist and international solidarity
Our thoughts are first and foremost with our American comrades who, despite 
several mobilizations and movements of different natures and importance, have 
resisted this rise in power by far-right forces. We want to recall that the 
anti-fascist struggle was, is, and will remain internationalist and that our 
solidarity knows no borders. It is therefore important to mobilize against all 
reactionaries, in Europe, the United States and everywhere else in the world.

This is why the UCL calls for mass mobilization during regional demonstrations on 
Saturday January 9 against the religious ultranationalism of Erdogan who in 
addition to oppressing and massacring the inhabitants of Kurdistan regularly 
causes wars as recently in Haut -Karabakh.
