Letter From Wisconsin:

The Presidential family, and a cohort of administrative higher ups visited the state of Wisconsin on a campaign PR trip this day, October 13th 2020. This visit is but one of many that both ruling parties in the US have conducted across the country; and a tradition for bourgeois candidates who participate in the electoral process of bourgeois democracy. These visits are applauded by regime unions and employers alike. However, in the background of the cordial photo shoots and hopeful speeches, the working class toils away, thrown into the background with the rest of the machinery they work.

The inertia of electoral motivations compels the brain-dead bourgeois political figures to make visits to various locations across the country. Team Industries, a military contractor for the Navy and fabricator of piping systems used in petrochemical and power plants in Kaukauna, Wisconsin has been the most recent of these to opened it’s doors to presidential candidates and a procession of officials and staffers. This visit of course does not benefit the working class that exhaustively works within the confines of the production floor, and many facilities across the state, as the production managers and business owners mingle with such high profile personalities. Both the Republican and Democratic candidates’ only goal with these visits is to celebrate the continued increase in production capacity that companies like Team Industries have experienced despite the toll this takes on the working class; and in the current situation, despite the dangers that are introduced by the pandemic.

Production facilities in Wisconsin have been lax to casual in how they deal with one of the most severe COVID-19 outbreaks in the country. Despite the fact that industrial companies have forbidden a majority of their office staff from coming into the building, this does not minimize the risk of infection for the working class that must remain in the facility to fabricate the actual products that each company makes to sell on the market; who are pushed to death at work every day the government and employers push the problem down the road. Ultimately Employers and politicians see the working class for one thing, its ability to increases the value that the company produces and the investors this vigorous production attracts.

Even with prominent political figures getting infected with the virus, bourgeois candidates and those who invest their energy to the 4 year electoral pageantry haven’t stopped from continuing to shout the top of their lungs about the need to keep the economy going. They mingle with the corporations and industrial production that has continued and remained prosperous at the expense of the health and safety of the working class across the country, while these candidates speak to the need to honor and celebrate the necessary workforce they have gambled with to save the economy; because in this world of class subjugation the federal government’s only duty is to industrial capital. The visits to Wisconsin, and to Team Industries, is nothing more than a publicity stunt, and an irresponsible poorly thought out one at that.

The actions and decisions to continue like nothing happened is, sadly, rather typical for a gang of capitalists who benefit from the sisyphean push for the working class to produce more and more. Sacrificing their own bodies and health for the prosperity of private companies, and the investors that prop them up through an economy forever trapped in crises of overproduction. So it is no wonder that bourgeois politicians, after callously defending capital over the working class from SARS coronavirus, would visit the steadfast production of a state that has equally ignored the damage this outbreak has had on the working class.What this pomp and circumstance hides is that the working class is not being appealed to with these visits. The photo shoots that come out of this affair are done to show how supportive the candidates are towards the production of commodities and reaffirms their dedication to the expansion of capital that drives that production. The working class is not the target audience as politicians walks through a production process they know little to nothing about. What the government and the candidates see is the production of more capital and a strengthening of the economy, which for them shows their commitment to the success of the United States economy. These clowns and actors of the bourgeois ruling class with their egotistical irresponsibility endanger the working class who has worked steadfast through the pandemic; they make personal visits to the production process of companies and over look the class that animates that production! Rather than feeling warm and fuzzy about a visit from these patron saints of capital production, the working class can reaffirm it’s existence through the united struggle of the class itself.
