"We don't fight racism with racism. We fight racism with solidarity. We don't fight capitalism with Black capitalism; we fight capitalism with socialism. We don't fight imperialism with more imperialism; we fight imperialism with proletarian internationalism". - BPP

Remember: it's never the wrong time to learn about dialectical materialism. It was, in fact, historically inevitable that you'd be interested right now.

Neoliberal capitalists will not save you. Liberation can't come from a system designed to oppress... We need to change the system.

A radical idea, but if we can pool our money for a pizza, can we please pool our resources for some fucking healthcare in this country?

This is not a bug, it's a feature... It was always going to come to this. (yes) ⬇️

People, reared under capitalism, aquire an ingrained willingness to take orders, to bow down before authority. Many aquire a vested emotional stake in all types of authoritarian relations.

I’d explain Marx’s theory of alienation, but I feel too disconnected from the product of my own labor to bother...

What are the most important economic concepts for intro level Marxists to understand

#SocialistSunday time again

The world does not need billionaires.

"A nation cannot become free and at the same time continue to oppress other nations." -Kwame Nkrumah True freedom for one group cannot be genuine if it comes at the expense of another’s oppression.

Could be because AI and automation threatens to replace nearly 100 million jobs across various industries over the next decade... But, probably just an after thought for Microsoft. Profits come first. (obviously)

If you haven't listened to Proles pod, you should definitely give it a go. You will learn something. Lot of info we aren't taught growing up. Hell, all their episodes so far have been fire.

Welp... 🤷

Socialists want the value of their labor to be fairly and equally distributed to the workers instead of hoarded as profits for greedy corporations, their CEOs, and shareholders. Who doesnt want that? You know, other than corporations, CEOs, shareholders, and the politicians they pay to condemn it.

Imagine being so indoctrinated you conflate a fascist dictatorship with socialism while capitalism continues to exploit us all. When is Congress going to condemn capitalist exploitation? Fascism? Even pedophilia? C'mon... 🤦‍♂️

Labor, not capital, has always been the true foundation of the American economy. Capital is, in essence, crystallized labor and exploited by capitalists. The labor movement has always fought for a fair share of the value that workers themselves have created. Its up to us to continue that fight.

Exactly right, they intentially create or exacerbate the conditions that allow them to exploit communities and segments of the population for profit. It's so fucking dirty...

Its no secret that we have far less purchasing power than young boomers had, while corporations are making record profits. Because the money we SHOULD be making is the surplus value the ruling class scrapes off the top as profit, while we, the working class, struggle to make ends meet. By design.

The only way out of this is through Socialism or barbarism. No more corporations, no more wage slavery, no more homelessness, no more class divide. A nation for the working people can change this.

As automation and (AI) technology replace jobs to increase profits, skilled labor will increasingly be rendered obsolete. This maximalist focus on profits and productivity will lead to a significant portion of society feeling useless and left behind by the system... It doesn't have to be like this.

We could have more public ownership ensuring accountability and a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources, giving everyone the chance to thrive. But socialism is "evil" and "never works." Sounds like someone just doesn't want you to thrive, and live your best life.

👇

The working class needs a legitimate, independent political organization of our own. We need a workers party that unapologetically rejects capitalism and fights for a socialist future. The capitalist class already has two political parties of their own. And they have BOTH failed us...

"Materialism and freethought are the necessary qualifications of a cultivated man." - Engels' "Socialism, Utopian and Scientific."

Controlled Opposition Say “nice” things Pretend to care ALMOST make things happen Never obstruct Side with MAGA now & again “Fight fire with fire” a decade too late Get in office, break all campaign promises Fail repeatedly Ask for MORE money to “fight” & “stand up” CONTROLLED OPPOSITION

More and more people are saying

Not even the bourgeoisie has been exempt from using revolution to gain state power. While now, resisting a working class proletarian revolution that targets them, by often allying with, or manipulating other elites to preserve their interests. Which is what were seeing today.

We really need to overhaul our political and economic system in a way that benefits working class people. We prop up these systems. Wealthy people and polticans use the money they get from us, and use it to oppress us, not benefit us.

Democracy cannot consist solely of elections that are nearly always fictitious and managed by rich landowners and professional politicians. – Che Guevara #SocialistSunday

As fascism and anti-intellectualism spreads, while self-serving capitalists relentlessly drain our money and resources, this moment presents a vital opportunity to share Marx’s insights with friends and family. He was right, after all...

However you feel about Mamdani, his victory is a huge opportunity for left-wing activists, organizers, and everyday individuals, by fostering mass class consciousness that is essential in our current political landscape and genuinely striving to enhance the material conditions of the working class.

The state is an instrument used by the ruling class to uphold capitalist oppression. What will it take for working class Americans to fully come to grips with this reality, and work together in solidarity to free themselves from their chains?

The propaganda against communism is right when they call it a dictatorship. They just never say whose. Yes, communism is a dictatorship. But it’s not the dictatorship of a few over the many, like the one we live under now.

Collective ownership would reduce inequality and ensure that everyone has access to basic needs, while also fostering a sense of solidarity among individuals. It's not as "scary" as some would have you believe.

"If you're not part of the problem, then you are part of the proletariat." - Probably someone somewhere

In a country as wealthy as ours, NO ONE should go hungry, poverty shouldnt exist (nor wealth hoarding billionaires), and access to quality education/healthcare/food SHOULD be a human right.

Billionaires do not provide jobs Billionaires are not geniuses Billionaires are not necessary The workers do the work, the billionaires take their money The scientists create the technology, the billionaires take their credit Without billionaires wages would be higher and products cheaper

Under our capitalist system, a boss will pay you just enough to keep you working, but not enough to keep you from realizing the wealth you're creating while they pocket the profits... It's as if the workers are crafting a masterpiece, but only the gallery owner gets to sell it for a fortune.
