tired of winning yet?

hierarchy here is imagined as a system of values and not as a tool that can be utilized for a million different outcomes ranging from great to terrible. capitalism utilizes hierarchical structures, but it deploys them for unconscionable means

it's not until you experience even minor disability that you realize how deeply uncaring this society is to anything that veers from the manufactured basic "normal." irony is that everyone will experience disability at some point, even if it's old age

one of the most insidious achievements of capitalism has been to entirely strip us of any relational connection. "I just work here," "it's not my decision," "sorry it's company policy" are all capitalist maxims that have depersonalized everyday life and have left us all alienated and alone

the men's olympic hockey thing couldn't be more on the nose—the US gets everything it wants despite being an inferior team, everything goes its way even though it doesn't deserve it, but it simply cannot enjoy the win because of how thin-skinned, bitter, and full of brainless hatred it is

*throws up arms* well I guess I can't party with the director of the fbi and degrade women athletes on video with the president of the united states without it becoming POLITICAL

NEW EPISODE manolo de los santos joins us for a deep dive into Cuba's revolution—from the epic voyage of the Granma to the time in the Sierra Maestra to Batista's fall to the land reforms that ensued. ¡Viva la Revolución!

woke up at 5am to watch a hockey championship that ended with kash patel partying in the USA locker room and the official white house twitter posting an eagle bullying a mallard duck

the people who scream about stalin supposedly starving millions of people in ukraine sure are quiet about capitalists starving 11 million people in cuba

it's all theatre by the way—the supreme court could have made this ruling a year ago but decided to do it now after hundreds of billions were already looted from us with no possible way of ever being returned

two islands. one embodies the very best of humanity—communism, care, collectivism. the other embodies the very worst—a capitalist class that's filled with greed and hate. the latter wants to starve the former because it knows its very existence is a threat to the evil world it wants us all to accept

NEXT WEEK: cuba pt. 2: ¡viva la revolución! w/ manolo de los santos

we could all be living simple lives of camaraderie, nourishment and contemplation but instead they forced unto us into this:

there was a couple year window where recording apps were good but now each one of them is unusable in their own unique way

NEW PATREON EP kristen ghodsee joins us for a fascinating conversation on the various ways that love is co-opted, commodified, and destroyed under capitalism—and how we can reverse this

if you added up all the deaths caused by health insurance CEOs in the country I wonder if it would surpass the number of deaths caused by hitler

just a reminder that every last democrat voted to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state. this is not an opposition party—you are being deceived

NEXT WEEK'S PATREON: the political economy of love in capitalism w/ kristen ghodsee

most people understand that it's the capitalist class that's responsible for making everything worse—they just truly believe there's no better way. this is why the ruling class devotes so many resources to spreading anti-communism in every nook and cranny of life

NEW EP gabriel rockhill joins us for a wide-ranging and fascinating conversation on intellectual knowledge production under imperialism and how the anticommunist left is propped up by the capitalist state—from marcuse to chomsky

the epstein files aren't just an insight into a sadistic monster—they're an insight into a ruling class produced specifically by the united states and the capitalist imperialist system it has imposed upon the world through sheer violence

coming tonight!

the uniquely staggering unaccountability of the US ruining class is on full display both domestically and internationally and is a direct result of their decades long assault on the US communist left

it's crucial to understand that Atlantic slavery and the plantation system *was* capitalism—not proto-capitalism or the laying of capitalism's foundations—but straight capitalism. enslaved labor is part of capitalism and has been since its inception

the US invaded the USSR after the bolshevik revolution and then launched the most expensive military and psychological warfare campaign in the history of the world (the Cold War) against it. the US imposed illegal sanctions regimes on venezuela and cuba. why? because socialism works

NEXT WEEK (thrs): the intellectual cold war w/ gabriel rockhill

the epstein class also manipulated the intellectual and cultural sphere by controlling information and culture. the people who crafted your entire ideology were part of a pedophile cult that rapes and tortures 9 year old girls

USA: we are rounding people up into ICE prisons in antivax counties where they are exposed to measles and are then deported, spreading the disease internationally china:

USA: venezuela and china are corrupt autocracies also USA:

USA: we are rounding people up into ICE prisons in antivax counties where they are exposed to measles and are then deported to countries to spread the disease internationally china: 90 percent of people in our country own their home

the person who succeeded most at capitalism is utterly miserable—this system is rotten from root to branch

anyone who was a pedophile associate should be named as such in any journalistic or media instance where they are mentioned. Steve Bannon (Epstein associate), for example. Laurene Powell Jobs (owner of the Atlantic and Ghislaine Maxwell associate). time to delegitimize everything these sickos say

one thing I can tell you about china or cuba or venezuela is that they aren't run by unaccountable psychopathic pedophiles who enjoy raping and torturing children

NEW EP @granadosceja.bsky.social and andreína chávez join us to discuss the aftermath of the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, the state of Venezuelan sovereignty, oil, resistance, and more

anyone else excited to start another work week where 40-60 hours of your one precious life are sacrificed to a class of pedophile warmongers so that they can own a rape and torture island

my first impression was that chomsky wasn't directly collaborating with the institutions of capital and that he was unknowingly embraced by the deep state because his anti-communism was convenient in the intellectual world war. but then I saw this and realized no, this man is a psychological warior

they released less than half of the epstein files redacting almost everything except the names of underage victims and the only people they're prosecuting are the legal observers and journalists covering the crimes of their street thugs

you're absorbing the propaganda of a cabal of pedophiles who rape and torture children for fun. you're letting them and their media lapdogs tell you exactly how to think and who to hate

NEXT WEEK'S PATREON venezuela pt. 6: the empire strikes w/ @granadosceja.bsky.social and andreína chávez

repressive and autocratic tendencies in revolutionary states are not natural—they are the direct result of being encircled, threatened, and attacked by the United States. from the bolsheviks in the soviet union to the islamic republic of Iran, the repression would end if imperialism ended

NEW EP manolo de los santos joins us in part 1 of our new series on Cuba where we discuss colonization and its resistance, the batista dictatorship, cuba as a playground for the US, and the material conditions leading up to the Cuban revolution

because only like 5% of the population is unionized and there aren't any strike funds for the vast majority of workers, one thing you can do to support the general strike on Friday is to offer donations to small businesses to help cover lost income

what neocons in Washington want for Cuba is nothing less than colonial enslavement. before the revolution, Cuba was a playground for wealthy Americans and was controlled by a brutal dictatorship with a life expectancy in the low 60s. the revolution reversed this—and gusanos have never gotten over it

the average right winger doesn't actually believe in anything, they've just adopted the cheap contrarianism of an adolescent who thinks he's being rebellious by lapping up the slop peddled by powerful entities profiting off of his performance

I get this but what all these gotchas are missing is that the right is easily able to modify their positions in the face of concrete material conditions. it would actually be very helpful if liberals could do this is well

tens of thousands of bloodthirsty white nationalists paid & armed by the government are grabbing anyone they can off the streets & executing people who try to stop them. this will be coming to your city soon. those fighting against it on the frontlines are heroes and should be treated as such

[UNLOCKED] How Fascism Works (a Michael Parenti Reading)

yesterday hundreds of thousands of people poured out in the streets to protest ICE. in response ICE murdered another person this morning, proving that one-day protests and strikes are not enough to stop fascism

NEXT WEEK cuba pt. 1: before the revolution w/ manolo de los santos
