In interviews conducted by the World Socialist Web Site, workers from across the country—delivery drivers, food service workers, teachers and others—spoke with moral force about the war, the ceasefire and the need for organized resistance. Their voices reflect a growing sentiment that the Democratic Party will do nothing to stop the outlaw regime in the White House and that it will be up to working class to do it.
“What our president is doing is not only inhumane but against international law,” a Fed Ex worker said. Another added: “The president has proven time and again he is a criminal. The innocent people and children killed in this useless war has to lead to prosecutions. I thought this was a land of law and order.”
On the announced two-week ceasefire, the Fed Ex workers expressed a uniform and unsparing skepticism. “I think it’s a step in the right direction, but I always take the good with a grain of salt,” one worker said. “I truthfully believe they’re taking this time to plan something worse.”
Another put it more bluntly: “I believe it’s for Trump to catch his breath before he starts to plan for another attack.”
The memory of past imperialist disasters in the Middle East loomed large in these assessments. Workers drew direct and damning parallels. “We’ve seen so many ceasefires in past Middle Eastern conflicts, and rarely did it ever lead to true peace,” one said. “It’s a façade—to prepare for another attack.”
