There is a global commotion due to the revelation of the list of people linked to Jeffrey Epstein, Hollywood actors and actresses, Wall Street magnates, members of royalty, political leaders, etc. The list became known after New York Judge Loretta A. Preska ordered the disqualification of 40 documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case with names of celebrities who would have contacted the billionaire for the sex trafficking access that the millionaire had. out on their private island called "Little St. James" .

There is no better way to understand what capitalism is than to study the life of Jeffrey Epstein. For those who lie claiming that there are 2 types of capitalism, on the one hand, "neoliberalism" as a form of capitalism, inhumane, and other forms of "more humane" capitalism , the facts about Epstein show that there is only one capitalism managed by a group of 1%. of oligarchs. These magnates are a broken class with repugnant morals, who live partying on private islands, while they starve billions of people in the world, promote slavery and all kinds of forms of oppression to sustain exploitation, and They are dedicated to destroying the climate, mortgaging the future of humanity.

Epstein was a Wall Street tycoon whose private island held disgusting parties that included VIP prostitution, pedophilia, and human trafficking, in which members of the exclusive jet-set of the richest 1% participated. Once the lists were known, names appeared such as former US president Bill Clinton, his assistant Doug Band, Prince Andrew of England, former US president Donald Trump , former governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson, the modeling agent Frenchman Jean-Luc Brune, model Naomi Campbell, Hollywood director Woody Allen, Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, singer Courney Love, Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey, magician David Copperfield, millionaire Bill Gates, the American lawyer and politician Alan Dershowitz, etc. in a long list that includes all kinds of famous names.

A Wall Street oligarch

Epstein's fall began on July 6, 2019, when he was arrested in the United States upon his return from France on a private plane following a complaint from Virginia Giuffre, a victim of sexual abuse who was 17 years old when she took a photo with him. Prince Andrew of England on Epstein's island The American has been denouncing for a decade that Andrés sexually abused her when she was a minor, making her an accomplice in the search for girls to participate in the " parties" that Epstein organized. The court charged him with sexual exploitation and conspiracy to sexually exploit minors.

According to the indictment, between 2002 and 2005, Epstein took girls, some as young as 14, to his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, in the state of Florida, in the United States, a truly scandalous case that took another dramatic turn. when on August 10, 2019, when he was 66 years old, Epstein was found hanged in his New York prison cell. With a long career on Wall Street, Epstein reached the zenith of his career as a financial officer at the Bear Stearns Global Corporation, where he became a billionaire with enormous political and social influence among prominent figures in European and American public life.

Epstein added other activities such as co-founding the Clinton Foundation, along with the Clinton couple . When Bear Sterns went bankrupt in 2008 amid the collapse of all the major Global Corporations, the US central bank lent up to $30 billion to JP Morgan Chase to bail out Bear. That is to say, the people of the United States and the people of the world are the ones who ended up paying for Epstein's luxurious life with hunger and poverty. Millions suffer hunger and poverty so that Epstein can acquire his private island to rape children, and carry out trafficking of vulnerable people, in partnership with other Wall Street tycoons such as Leon Black of the investment company Apollo Global Management, or Jes Staley of the British Barclays Global Corporation .

Epstein was also a creator of tax havens by placing companies on the island of St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, to reduce taxes on profits by 90%, which also allowed him to gain prestige among the other financiers of Wall Street. Epstein was president of the company Liquid Funding Ltd. that defrauded the entire world by speculating in commercial mortgages and residential mortgages, thanks to the credit rating agencies Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service giving it a gold-plated AAA rating.

A sadistic financier of the Nazi state of Israel

But Epstein didn't just do financial deals. He also did arms sales business with Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi and Douglas Leese, both Pentagon defense contractors, who sold weapons to Israel and the entire world. Linked to these global arms sellers Epstein traveled several times between the United States, Europe and Southwest Asia and was an advisor to Steven Hoffenberg whom he met through John Mitchell, the former attorney general of the United States. Hoffenberg ended up being one of the world's biggest fraudsters when his company Towers Financial Corporation went bankrupt, leaving thousands of investors bankrupt. Epstein began consulting for the Victoria's Secret company, taking advantage of its location to attend fashion shows and host models at his New York home, as well as helping aspiring models get jobs with the company.

Israel has murdered more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them children, the elderly, innocent civilians and vulnerable people. He was able to do so thanks to the financial assistance of people like Epstein who financed the company Reporty Homeland Security, renamed Carbyne in 2018 dedicated to providing weapons to the Defense Industry and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The heads of the IDF themselves are senior businessmen who make a living from the arms trade business, such as Amir Elihai, who was a special forces officer, or the director of the company Pinchas Bukhris was at one time director general of the Ministry of Defense and commander of the IDF cyber unit 8200.

The Carbyne company was also headed by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who was also at one time defense minister and chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Both Elihai, Bukhris, and Barak, who were officials and leaders of the state of Israel and his army, were friends and associates of Epstein. 

In April 2008, the pimp and Wall Street magnate visited Israel, different military bases and met with several research scientists. That is to say, machismo and patriarchy is promoted and established from the highest echelons of the Wall Street magnates, as well as by their thugs paid with the money obtained through the scams they carry out daily on the entire world. 

Every missile launched by Israel, every rocket, every tank, every plane, is the product of Epstein's investments. This weaponry bears the inescapable seal of rapists of girls, human traffickers, sexual exploiters to satisfy their sadism, who then have no problem defending their location as part of the 1% by murdering, killing, torturing thousands of Palestinian children and women, Ukrainian, or Syrian, as does the Nazi state of Israel, the semi-fascist religious dictatorship of Iran, or the semi-fascist regime of Putin. All these regimes have a common denominator: They massacre people to defend capitalism.


Sexism and Patriarchy come from Wall Street

Bourgeois feminism lies to millions of women in the world, saying that machismo and patriarchy are inherent elements of the male sex, the oppression of women is a gender and biological issue. And then women cannot organize with men to defend their rights because they should not organize with sexists. In its political illiteracy, bourgeois feminism has a perfidious objective: It seeks to confuse those honest activists seeking to make them believe that machismo and patriarchy have nothing to do with capitalism and the existence of dominant classes repugnant in their privileges as well as in their methods.

But when the life of Jeffrey Epstein's sinister sexist is analyzed, those charlatanisms of bourgeois feminism collapse. As soon as the events surrounding the case are analyzed, what we Marxists have stated that machismo and patriarchy are a historical-social phenomenon are confirmed. The oligarch Epstein was able to organize the rape and trafficking of minors, pedophilia and prostitution thanks to the work of a woman, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was the one who dedicated herself to organizing the entire network of capturing women to satisfy Epstein's requests.

Maxwell was Epstein's right-hand man not only in building the prostitution and trafficking empire that became the private island of the 1% oligarchs, but it was discovered that the Maxwell-Epstein duo filmed personalities having sex with minors with hidden cameras to later extort them. It was also reported that Epstein's New York mansion was extensively wired to a video system. The facts are devastating against bourgeois feminism. How is it possible that Ghislaine Maxwell is a woman, who organized Epstein's sexist rapist and pimp structure? Because Ghislaine Maxwell was an oligarch, just like Epstein, she defended the interests of her social class, the Wall Street capitalists.

Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of billionaire media mogul Robert Maxwell. As we explain in our works "The Women's Revolution of the 21st Century" , and "A Marxist Vision of Abolitionism", machismo and patriarchy arose from the emergence of private ownership of the means of production and the emergence of societies of class. 

And today, machismo and patriarchy are institutions that are constantly defended by the dominant classes such as the oligarchy of the 1% of Wall Street, as exemplified by the role played by the millionaire Ghislaine Maxwell, who was the "main girlfriend" , and was in charge of the hiring, supervising and dismissing personnel. Epstein's life illustrates how necessary it is to advance the struggle of Marxist feminism to end bourgeois feminism and its lies, which seek to "reform" capitalism with a ministry or secretary of Women in the capitalist state.


The Epstein scandal reveals that it is necessary to abolish capitalism and Wall Street

For Bill Clinton, Epstein is "a committed philanthropist" with "insight and generosity . " Epstein was on the board of Rockefeller University, and was a major donor to Harvard University. Epstein visited the White House while Clinton was president on four known occasions. He had multiple financial accounts with millions of dollars in offshore tax havens, the "Paradise Papers" records showed that Epstein became a client of Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm that specialized in creating offshore companies and investment vehicles for mega-millionaires.

Epstein's life, and the scandal that astonishes the world today, only highlights the need to once and for all end Wall Street and the oligarchy of the 1% that dominates the world. Every minute that capitalism controlled by this group of oligarchs persists in its domination of the world, the lives of billions of people who suffer from hunger, poverty, climate change, oppression, sex trafficking, machismo, pimping, murders and massacres are in danger, like those carried out by the group of Zionist Nazis from Israel in occupied Palestine.

The eviction of this group of oligarchs from power is the most important task that we Marxists in the world address. The working class, the people of the world who fight every day against capitalism, hunger, poverty, machismo, patriarchy, the rights of minorities, the abolition of human trafficking and prostitution, must fight to impose the Global Socialism to put an end to the Jeffrey Epsteins, and free millions from the clutches of this oligarchy whose repugnant morality expresses the final decadence of capitalism.
