Of course, the ruling class desperately tried to keep this movement from developing. They fear the people building struggle and learning that it is only the mass, militant struggle of the people that forces social change. They desperately try to channel our righteous anger into their courts, their politicians, and their elections. Throughout the whole “Nixon crisis” we were constantly told by the politicians, the network news, and the newspapers that the fate of Richard Nixon lies in the impeachment process; that we should continue to go about our everyday work and let the tools of the monopoly capitalists– the courts, Congress, and judicial process– decide the guilt or innocence of Richard Nixon. The ruling class worked mighty hard on building up the whole impeachment process. They went “all out” to isolate and judge Richard Nixon and his henchmen as corrupt and power hungry individuals, and they went “all out” to restore the dying faith in their decaying monopoly capitalist system.

So the seemingly endless hearings went on...as day after day, the number 1 news stories were the Deans, Magruders, and Haldemans charging and denying the scandal of Richard Nixon ollowed by the loyal servants of the rich and the press’s new heroes: “cute” Howie Baker, Bible quotin’ Sam Ervin, and the tearful Lowell Weicker; all expressing statements of contempt and shock that individuals would “abuse the privileges of power” in this way. This was accompanied, of course, with their endless comments and speeches, about the proper functioning of American Truth and Justice.

The “liberal” elements of the ruling class–the Kennedys, McGoverns, Bakers, and Rodinos–always try to channel the anger of the people away from the mass struggle to where it is safe for the ruling class. These forces always come out and try to hold us back whenever the people start to build a movement, as we saw during the Black people’s struggles of the 60’s, the anti-war movement, and getting rid of Nixon. And their strategy is always .the same. They speak to our genuine feelings and desires for peace, justice and democracy, and they try to channel us away from building the fight and struggle of the people and into “the vote”, the courts, and letters and petitions to Congress. In addition to holding our struggle back, these lying deceivers try to set us up for future attacks and slaughter by spreading the illusion that we can rely on this system for justice, democracy and well-being– when in fact this system must attack the people for its very basis is the profit wrenched out of the working people.
