Our new issue, “The New Empire,” argues that under Donald Trump, US imperialism is making itself felt in its most blatant and dangerous forms. Alongside tariffs, trade wars, and “America First” rhetoric, Trump’s intensification of military and economic coercion has been catastrophic. Trump and his allies have dispensed with the language of nation-building and humanitarian intervention once used to justify American aggression. In its place is a more brazen politics of military force and personalized dealmaking. This isn’t the behavior of a resurgent power, however. These are the tactics of an empire that has grown far less confident. Beyond Trump, we ask why the erosion of US dominance has generated more violence rather than less, why militarism remains so durable at home, and which institutions still sustain American power. We examine NATO, the global role of the dollar, the arms industry, and the prospects for a renewed left internationalism capable of confronting empire and capital alike. “The New Empire” is for socialists confronting these questions and the urgent need to challenge US power in all its military, political, and economic forms.
