Don’t look at a landfill :)

You ever think about how conscious time is basically the most valuable thing we have and it’s been commodified for us to labor for other people’s benefit and all the objects around the world are the embodiment of people’s lives spent on this process :)

I don’t really understand how people don’t grasp that capitalist competition leads to monopoly. Something wins a competition. It is a pretty obvious thing.

My favorite thing about Lenin is that was just his anon username and everyone just kept calling him that even after they won

“The final lunacy of the system is that the ‘crisis of overproduction’ is not overproduction at all. All that ‘surplus’ steel, for instance, could help solve world hunger.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Basically the cool thing about being a communist is that both your critics and friends / comrades are constantly pushing you to learn more

"At least $5.9 trillion will be inherited by billionaire children over the next 15 years, the bank calculates."

Which will result in capitalists being able to use their wealth to eventually take their momentary losses back.

If someone is not using it this way, they do not actually want to make capitalists pay their fair share. They just want the proportion of the surplus produced by the working class and kept by them to go up slightly. But leave this whole system of theft in tact.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

I often think about the fact that many of the brightest, most innovative people in our world die in obscurity under capitalism with no opportunity to reach their potential.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

It's DAY 12 of our national, open-ended ULP strike. Thousands of baristas in over 65 cities are on strike demanding higher wages, better hours, and an end to union-busting. And we're just getting started 🔥

I've seen liberals blow up at me for daring to suggest ICE was always bad, even when democratic presidents were managing them. When I mention I'm a witness to their violence, they really become defensive. It's how I know their empathy right now is a lie.

Same people who think that ICE became a brutal agency in January 2025.

“They are willing to genocide others but I’m safe probably” It’s the same shit they make fun of republicans for. Leopards and Faces

“I’m organizing” for what. Say you are a socialist. Stop this shit. Tell people what you are trying to build. It will wake up more people more quickly

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it. We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

More and more people are saying

Dancing outside the concentration camps thinking that’s helping is your brain on idealism

If we just show people how reasonable and nice we are policies will change. People will stop being tortured How long until the liberal mind realizes that’s not how things work

"In one way or another, all official and liberal science defends wage-slavery…To expect science to be impartial in a wage-slave society is as foolishly naïve as to expect impartiality from manufacturers on the question of whether workers' wages ought not to be increased by decreasing the profits..."

Chomsky is a lib anyway

I know parentis ass isn’t on this shit

It should be obvious the ruling class will not hold themselves accountable for this and the only way for justice is a radical redistribution of power in society

The ruling class is dumb and we let them take everything we make and live lives of disgusting opulence and cruelty We need socialism immediately

(And yes I’m also aware of the fact that people think capitalism is eternal and natural for the same reasons)

It is an obvious fact that capitalism will end at some point. It continues to confuse me that people don’t want to advocate for an equitable economic organization of society as the next form our economy takes. (Not really dont tell me why Im aware of ideology propaganda and false consciousness)

Unfortunately if the economy is capitalist it doesn’t actually matter how rational the people at the top are, the economy will boom and bust. The only way to stop this is a managed economy

Reposting with alt text bc omfg and they claimed shortages to drive up prices on top of this shit.

Some so called communists need to read more Engels

I want to ban marriage as an institution. Ceremonies should be allowed but there should be no benefits over other relationships and living styles for monogamous couples over everyone else Ideally this would happen in socialism where private property isn’t a thing so that doesn’t matter either

another point to reiterate is that a lot of the 21st century push around anti-lgbt legislation across africa is funded by white evangelical missionary organizations. they'll claim lgbt inclusion is a "western colonial" imposition while reading off scripts given to them by family watch international.

The only way to remotely manage productive forces at this point is with public intervention and subsidies. It’s due time for socialism. And it gets more obvious every day

It has never been so obvious that capitalism has outlived any supposed usefulness it ever had a claim to

The only conspiracy theory I subscribe to but don’t actually believe is one where the intelligent aliens won’t talk to us until we achieve communism.

Like the litmus test for whether they risk letting you into the club is whether your species passes a great social filter and you can be trusted to not destroy a planet for greed reasons

BREAKING: "Ecuadoran voters roundly rejected the return of US military bases to the country in a referendum on Sunday... in a major political blow to Trump-friendly President Daniel Noboa." www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

The bad guys are winning and destroying the world because too many of the so called good guys aren't willing to fight as hard and as dirty as they are. "When they go low we go high" is how you get your ass whipped. Badly. theconversation.com/how-the-rich...

The only real solution is to overcome capitalism and achieve a post-capitalist economy. It is 100% possible to have a functioning economy that ensures human well-being and ecological stability *without* needing imperialism. But it requires abandoning capital accumulation.

Social democracy is not a viable alternative to capitalism. It is a tempting prospect, but ultimately suffers from violent contradictions that cannot be sustained. 🧵

People erroneously assume communists have some innate desire for revolution and bloodshed, but the reality is most just understand it to be historically necessary and thus believe we should organize and learn in accordance with that knowledge.

Nothing makes me shout at the tv like when I pause to point something out and the screen gets covered in an advertisement why did the reformists of the 20th century condemn us to this capitalist hell

And if China wasn’t doing what it’s doing a lot of our projections would be just as bad as they were 5 years ago. So I don’t really count that as capitalism, even if I have critiques of their so called market socialism
