Why do you want Cubans to die?

Georgists seem cool, but like, what would georgism really change? If business owners can still extract a profit from the labour of a working class, and those working class people have no control over their industry, then the main contention with capitalism stays the same.

The Ayatollah has been killed in an Israeli strike. A US-backed replacement is likely to be imposed. Khamenei wasn't a leftist; his government destroyed the Tudeh Party and suppressed working-class organizing. But instability and imperialist governance will mean pain for the Iranian people.

The reality of revolution is that it can only be done by applying pressure to the industries that a capitalist economy relies on. Students are enthusiastic, and I can appreciate that, but they don't hold any industrial power

The graphs and sliding-scale ideology measurers are fun, but when applied to marxism, kinda miss the point. We either care about surplus value extraction from the working class, the accumulation of wealth, or we don't. Internationalism, progressiveness, partisan-ness; it's all empathy for workers

If anybody's looking for a lightweight introduction to Marx's toughest concepts, I highly recommend FinBol's reading of Political Economy, 1954. Perfect to listen to while you're chowing down on a Smash barm pea wet. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Makes me cringe but I love it

Calling for unity is admirable, but some socialists don't hold the interests of the working class to heart. For example, Yugoslavia; Tito and the LCY introduced market competition, resulting in unemployment, and then liquidated Marxist-Leninists who criticised these moves. Marxism is a science.

How tf does theFinnishBolshevik create a 10 part series on revisionism in Soviet urban planning. I want to do whatever drugs that guy is doing.

The stock market, through it's inherent structure, is an extraction of surplus value from the working class. Profits don't materialise out of thin air.

The most conservative people I know are generally well off; our managers, business owners & investors. People who want to further the capitalist system, distract us from revolution. The narrative that conservatives are overwhelmingly 'poor' is capitalist propaganda meant to divide the working class.

I just spent half the day debating a relatively large ML creator on TikTok, only to notice they seemed to be using ChatGPT. I asked them if they were, and they flat out said yes, but that the points it made were still legitimate. What are we doing?
