Trump declares “Anti-Communism Week” as millions of Americans struggle with poverty and homelessness

For the second consecutive year, US President Donald Trump has mobilized the machinery of state-sponsored anti-communism, proclaiming November 1–7 “Anti-Communism Week” in another preposterous attempt to demonize communist ideas and defend the capitalist system.

In a presidential proclamation signed on Election Day, Trump urged Americans to stand firm against threats to the “American way of life” and protect the flame of freedom from what he described as the “darkness of communism.”

 

President Trump, your unhistorical anti-communist crusade will fail — Socialism will triumph!

On 7 November 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump proclaimed the week of 2–8 November as “Anti-Communism Week”, inviting the American people to “honor the victims of communism” and to remember the “devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies.”

But this proclamation is not a moral gesture — it is an ideological weapon. It revives the same Cold War rhetoric that once justified imperialist wars, fascist coups, and the persecution of workers, intellectuals, and freedom-fighters across the world. Behind Trump’s pompous words stands the oldest lie of the capitalist order: that communism, not capitalism, is the source of human suffering.
