The Deportation Lie: How Trump Turned Immigrants into a Detention Economy

Forced Labour and the Mirror Washington Won't Look Into.
On March 12, 2026, the United States Trade Representative launched Section 301 investigations into 60 of its largest trading partners — Canada, China, the European Union, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and dozens more — to determine whether they have failed to ban imports produced with forced labour.

Lenin deployed these tactics to overthrow oligarchs and empower the working class. Project 2025 deploys them to entrench oligarchic rule and corporate dominance. It is not merely borrowed methodology; it is revolutionary tactics inverted to serve reactionary ends. Here is how the Right’s 'anti-Marxist' crusade became a mirror image of the very thing it claims to hate.
