Unfollowing opportunism enthusiasts! We have to build our counter-institutions and anti capitalist organizations outside the state in order to defeat capitalism!! People enthusiastic about reformism want proletarian rage to be assimilated back into broken corrupt edifices instead of building anew

The mere existence of the ultra wealthy means that the floor is able to rot due to the billionaires actively trying to enrich themselves at the cost of the poor! As long as divisions of labor exist between the people born into wealth and the people born into poverty, the rich will loot the commons

My stock response to those who try to get me to vote for their party. Works for both Republicans & Democrats: I will not support a party which supports endless wars & genocide, suppresses civil liberties & democracy & ignores science to defend their leader's mishandling of Covid.

Love it when I have successfully evangelized my favorite arcane misunderstood Marxist tendency to a random person on the internet!! So many people on the internet do not do research in Marxist tendencies that were not elevated to international fame due to their suppression by state capitalists
That being said, the more I discover about myself and immerse myself in the world around me it's dawned on me that my journey has led me to identifying with more leftist positions within the Marxist/communist spectrum, council communism specifically. That's not to say I'm against anarchists...

It’s tiresome seeing people fantasize about prominent figures of The Regime standing trial. The US has neither the system nor culture to enforce accountability for governing class offenders. That so many United Statists remain in Denial about this says a great deal about Fascism’s ascendancy.
"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

What we know for certain about the era of alcohol prohibition is that many politicians were very obviously bought off by organized crime during this period and just prior Woodrow Wilson who had been a KKK member was president and lead the US into world war 1 which was an obvious war for empire!

Voters don’t elect politicians though…. Corporate donors elect politicians and they did long before citizens united happened! Citizens United only legalized gangster corruption that was very obvious previous to it.

You have to form organizations that are not just nonprofit charities but are dedicated to actual revolution! You need to raise strike funds for workers to go on long illegal labor strikes ! You have to organize tenant unions and help people get everyone on the block they live in to organize

It is worth reading Marxist and anarchist theory about how actual revolutions come to pass! And it is also good to just get better at organizing your fellow groups of human people!

Ai would still be making people unemployed regardless of who is president! There would still be 2 wars at least if Kamala was president! Higher education would still be going through its own bubble pop of a crisis even without Trump demanding universities sign his compact. The economy is bad !
