Are you starting to see it now? Oppression isn't "freedom." #SocialistSunday

"capitalism fosters life and abundance, not death." Capitalism fosters worker/labor exploitation. If someone can't provide that, they are deemed worthless to the capitalist class. That's not "fostering" life, it's herding sheep for profit.

The workers are surrounded on all sides by such a sea of lies in the bourgeois newspapers that they must fight for the truth at all costs, they must learn to recognise falsehoods and reject them.

The general masses may not see this as class war (they should), but the ruling class sure does, and they have been waging this war for a loooong time...

Just a reminder: We, the working class, outnumber these elitist PIGS by the millions. Do not underestimate yours, and our power as a collective majority.

While everyone plays duopoly games the 1% are playing #classwar. youtu.be/uWt0u5Uf010?...

No notes. 10/10

The deepening inequality we see, the recurring crises, and the widespread alienation is all that comes with capitalism. It's the boot on our necks that seeks to squeeze and take everything until nothing is left. It's only a matter of time until it's overthrown by the very workers it exploits.

They were enabled by a broken system. A system that is not sustainable in any measure of the word.

This right here.

While hegemony seeks to dominate, socialism seeks to empower; where hegemony fosters division and exploitation, socialism strives for solidarity and shared progress. I think the choice is obvious.

They build walls on stolen land to hide the truth they know: none of us are free while the logic of the cage exists anywhere. Liberation for all oppressed peoples. We will not stop until it is so. ❌ #AntiZionism ❌ #AntiImperialism ✅ #FreePalestine

It's inevitable. ✊ #SocialistSunday

Expecting the Democrats, who're paid by the same class of people who pay the Republicans for the same purpose of maintaining capitalism, to destroy the Republican Party, is like expecting the Washington Generals to play to win against the Harlem Globetrotters. It's literally all a show. BELIEVE IT!

No war but class war.

We could incentivize society towards collective good and solidarity. Most choose not to.

Even as the mass of profit soars, often to stratospheric heights, the profit rate per dollar of investment, tends to fall. Why? Because profit, like all surplus value derives from the surplus labor of workers, not from investment in technology.

Left Voice was on the ground in Minneapolis during two important days of protest against ICE’s relentless rampage through its communities. What’s happening in the Twin Cities could herald a new chapter of class struggle for workers in the United States.

We have inherited more than just technology and scientific knowledge from capitalism. Its culture of selfishness and greed will not simply disappear, nor will the ecological problems it has created.

Socialism is not destined to succeed capitalism. Capitalism can collapse in a brutal, chaotic endgame of wars and natural disasters. To avoid this is our task, and to accomplish it, we must fulfill the transition to socialism.

"The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying & the new cannot be born." On #tdih in 1891, Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci was born. A founder of the Italian Communist Party, imprisoned by Mussolini & known for the concept of "cultural hegemony."

A reminder: Socialism offers a framework of solidarity and collective good, which can heal social fragmentation and act as a counter to hyper-individualism, and reactionary nationalist "populism."

Radical is relative. To me, their complacency with the current unethical, unjust system is "radical." What I want is just common sense.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." —MLK Jr.

The new deal didn’t work. The capitalist class should not exist at all

The return of The Black Panther Party to the public consciousness and to community work is a vital step forward in the enduring struggle for liberation.

Hard pill 💊

Marxism is great in that it provides a profound analytical framework for understanding the dynamics of class struggle and the inherent contradictions within capitalist societies. (Learn more here): www.marxists.org/archive/marx...

The development of a popular resistance is not like flipping a switch. It's a process. As more people feel the injustice more will be radicalized. Material conditions matter.

Socialist Karl Liebknecht (KPD) was murdered on this day, January 15, 1919, alongside Rosa Luxemburg, by far right-wing paramilitary Freikorps soldiers following their arrest in Berlin. He was killed for his revolutionary leadership, and dedication to advancing class struggle of the proletariat.

"Oh yea, we should have a government that's of, by, and for the people" Erm sorry, we will never have that as long as Capital controls everything.

People can say what they want but the real US left is developing rapidly. People are falling into different communist strains of thought. Orgs are exploding. Lenin lives

We want to build a world where poverty is history and exploitation is a painful, yet distant memory. Let our measure be human need, not corporate greed. Put people over profits. Let's secure an equitable share, for all, not just a few.

Having a sustainable future is impossible under a capitalist system that systematically undermines critical thinking and truthfulness. Sagan's fears were well founded.

Immigration isn't the problem. Pronouns are not the problem. Tax is not the problem. Greed is the problem. All the problems flow from greed: fear, war, social division, climate catastrophe - all of it flows from the endless greed of a tiny minority of the (already) unimaginably wealthy.

The essence of unequal exchange is described as the dual expression of exchange value as price and labor time. Understanding unequal exchange is critical to comprehend how the world economy has functioned for the past 200 years. "Unequal exchange" - with Torkil Lauesen #SocialistSunday

Time to take it all back.

The average CEO now makes 300 times their average worker. That's not just a wage gap, that's a moral eclipse. We need to make sure this level of inequality is an aberration, a passing shadow, not the permanent condition of our economy.

"We know that communism is the right hypothesis. All those who abandon this hypothesis immediately resign themselves to the market economy, to parliamentary democracy-the form of state suited to capitalism-and to the inevitable and 'natural' character of the most monstrous inequalities." - A. Badiou

We need to disincentivize maximizing wealth extraction. Smart and powerful people should be incentivized to leave their mark on the world by making positive contributions to humanity, not by hoarding wealth.

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point

"Law and Order" is often just the polite term for "do what we say, or else," where the "or else" has been meticulously legislated, funded, and uniformed...

And after the recent rhetoric, you'd be a fool to believe they won't do whatever it takes to get this. The US hegemony is fragile, and it requires much to sustain itself. Nobody is an ally in capitalism. It's just a matter of how long it takes to consume those around you.
