Two international coalitions call for more intensified people's struggles against US imperialism in the coming years as Donald Trump, the most undeniable champion of US monopoly capitalism, has been declared the winner of the recent US presidential elections.

The International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS) US Chapter, in a statement on 7 November 2024, called on the people of the United States and the world to prepare for another four years of organizing the people to strike imperialism and all forms of local reaction as the crisis of US imperialism continues to unravel under another Trump regime.

The ILPS explains, Trumps reelection marks the outright failure of the Democrats under Biden and Harris to deliver genuine solutions to the people and does not primarily mark a "rightward shift" among the masses of the US. "Trump came to power because his campaign rhetoric unmasked the Democrats’ true nature as an anti-people party. Given his own viciously anti-people policies and his unapologetic backing of the richest and most powerful monopoly capitalists, his election reflects the critical urgent need for people to build a genuine alternative for themselves that would guard peoples’ rights and deliver a just and equitable society."

ILPS says, under Trump, we should expect to see an exponential rise in anti-people policies, racist, anti-LGBTQIA rights, against equal pay and opportunity for women, and ultimately an intensification of the anti-socialist and anti-Muslim witchhunts and  attacks, from both state and non-state forces, and a rising concentration of power in a shrinking handful of monopoly capitalists, particularly in the tech, energy, financial, real estate, and weapons industries.

"Trump has promised  to use military might to maintain US imperialism’s declining superpower status in the world. He threatens more aggression towards China at the expense of Filipino, Korean, Hawaiian and other peoples’ sovereignty, continued funding of the Zionist genocide of Palestine and war moves towards Iran. Despite his public criticism of the NATO alliance and his supposed desire to make a peace deal with Russia over the war in Ukraine, Trump has cozied up to the far right and neofascist movements taking power in Europe, and these elements are nearly all united in keeping NATO."

Meanwhile, in a statement published on 8 November 2024, The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) urged all its member organizations and the wider international community to brace for a sharper and more fast-moving campaign to uphold the basic rights of the Filipino people.

ICHRP renewed its call for an end to the US-led counterinsurgency campaign in the Philippines, and a stop to its widespread indiscriminate bombing and artillery strikes in the countryside. ICHRP called for the respect of agreements made in peace talks between the government of the Philippines and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines , including the accord on the respect for human rights and international humanitarian law. It is essential to address the root causes of the social conflict to bring the armed conflict to a just end.

Peter Murphy, Chairperson of the ICHRP, says, "The key interest of both Biden's and Trump's administrations was the utility of the Philippines as the biggest base in the ‘first island chain’ for containing China’s political and military influence. As long as the Manila government remains a reliable ally against China, the US continues to turn a blind eye to the dire human rights and democracy situation."
