Good!

My favorite piece I've written thus far.
“The soul of revolution is nothing mystical; it’s the rediscovery of what we’ve always been capable of: cooperation, compassion, creation.”

Roosevelt, Kennedy, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, Ford.

Those families have been in power much longer than the Castros and have not liberated a fly.
Debt isn’t just numbers on a balance sheet. It’s a leash: on individuals, on nations, on the future itself. Credit disguises control as opportunity, and freedom as obligation.

If we want liberation, we have to confront how debt is weaponized against us.

A Mamdani type candidate would win the next US election in a landslide, but the Democrats will work harder to prevent that than the Republicans. That's the sad truth.

Capitalism doesn’t just exploit workers, it colonizes our imagination. We’re trained to think freedom is choosing between two brands of the same thing, rather than imagining a world where we don’t have to buy survival.

Strength is not found in conquest, but in liberation. A body made strong for struggle. A class made strong in unity. A people strong enough to abolish exploitation.

Every collapse of a society begins with the ruling class convincing people that the present order is eternal.

Nothing is eternal. Not feudalism, not slavery, not capitalism. Everything ends.

The only question is: did the old society get replaced by a better one?
What’s more dangerous: a government that openly calls itself authoritarian, or one that insists it’s “free” while ruling through prisons, racism, police, propaganda, and debt?

50 cereals. 1,000 sneakers. Dozens of streaming services. Capitalism calls this freedom. But the choices that actually matter, housing, healthcare, work, are rigged. We have been chained by consumerism.

The UN letting Netanyahu speak is a disgrace. A butcher, drenched in Palestinian blood, standing at a podium of “peace.”

Every minute he talks is another insult to the dead in Gaza.

The world doesn’t need his speeches. The world needs him, and everyone else involved, tried for war crimes.
