Ask yourself:

If those in power had to choose between giving up their power to save humanity or keeping their power and thus destroying humanity, which do you think they would choose?

This question is not hypothetical, climate change will kill us all. Self defense is a human right.

Eat the rich.

Direct democracy was never possible in the past, but now it is. We don't need representatives, we don't need a republic. We don't need a "temporary" ruling class with absolute control over the country, just to replace the old.

Don't let your ideology become your religion.

Also, ML was designed for a time and place which no longer exist. This is not 1900's russia.

When asked if communism could work in russia, Marx said he had no idea because his theories applied only to europe. Both are political theories tailored to the circumstances of their time and environment.

ML requires the formation of a "temporary" oligarchy of ideological elites who are tasked to "guide" the people and the economy on the path to democracy and de-capitalization. But that is simply not how humans work. Those in power will never give up their power. They will always think they know best

A Marxist-Leninist, however, I am not. For the exact reasons I cited above.

Yes, the capitalist elite are systemically bound to exploit and oppress the working class, but the fact remains that they are the ones in power and the cognitive effects of power are just as material as a heroin addiction.

You could have hovered over my name to know that I'm already a democratic socialist and therefore an anti-capitalist lol

Yeah, in order for humanity to survive we must have the complete decommodification and democratization of all essential goods and services, natural resources, etc.

Prescott Bush was their liaison with the Nazi Party

On power and its corrupting effects: the effects of power on human behavior and the limits of accountability systems Power is an all-pervasive, and fundamental force in human relationships and plays a valuable role in social, political, and economic interactions. Power differences are important in social groups in enhancing group functioning. Most people want to ...

Power and status literally make humans evil. Economic democracy and a wealth cap ratio are the only way for humanity to survive.

And they are more than happy to destroy our planet to make that happen. Because they are insane. They arent geniuses. They arent evil masterminds. They dont have complex 5d plans. Their power and status have simply caused observable cognitive damage that has made them dumb and crazy.

It's just so insane. It's so incredibly difficult to believe the most powerful people in the world are actually actively trying to destroy civilization so they can rule over the ashes as neo-feudal lords. Ruling from the shadows wasnt enough. They want to rule it directly, out in the open.

I was trying to fit it within a single comment, but yes.

What i mean is that the economic elites are currently trying to literally destroy civilization because they're insane. There are still the status quo neoliberal oligarchs, but more and more of them want to actually genocide humanity.

Wealth inequality has destroyed capitalism. There is no meaningful difference between economic power and political power. "Private enterprise" is inherently autocratic in structure, and as they grew powerful enough to control the government, they worked hard to dismantle democracy.

Eat the rich.

We need to stop pretending that the richest people in the world arent all knowingly trying to destroy the rules based global order so they can "buy the dip" and become the open rulers of the world. They are insane. They are delusional. They are evil.

Fascism is the inevitable result of capitalism.

Younger people who identify as liberals are usually actually closer to socialists than they realize. It doesnt take much to convert them. But old libs are just fascists who cant stand how unprofessional the republican party is at doing fascism. They want fascism to be orderly and behind the curtain.

Because old white liberals have no idea they support fascism, so they fail to see that Hillary is a Reaganite conservative and that they themselves are also conservatives who believe in nothing. They are blindly loyal to the dems and to the cult of capitalism, chanting, "We need better regulations!"

This is the inevitable result of pretending there's any difference between economic power and political power. Corporate and billionaire interests dominate our politics. It's not about money anymore, it's about control.

The democrats defend corporate interest just the same as the GOP. Eat the rich.

The "Epstein Files" are a masterclass in propaganda YouTube video by struthless

"If the situation really were hopeless, they wouldn't be spending billions of dollars on propaganda to make you feel hopeless."

This is a video about propaganda and the normalization of evil.

I voted blue but that take ignores the fact that the majority of Democrat politicians are knowingly complicit in the rise of fascism. If you serve corporate interest, you serve fascism. If you prioritize "the economy" when 1% of the population owns over 2/3 of the economy, you're a fascist.

I've told so many people to read this over the last decade. The fact this study alone wasnt enough to incite a revolution already had me despairing, but even now as we see the democratic party clearly defending fascist interests, it still isnt enough. How much more will it take?

Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens : Martin Gilens, Professor of Politics at Princeton University, and Benjamin I.

"The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence."

It's frustrating that so many people are somehow still under the illusion that the majority of the democrat electorate are anything other than knowingly complicit controlled opposition.

We cant keep pretending there's a difference between economic power and political power. A system is what it does

There is no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do. The purpose of a system is what it does.

Capitalism is evil because evil is always more profitable than empathy and goodness.

I love it when the establishment gets so out of touch with reality that someone can come in and just already have normal popular opinions and easily make all of their competitors look stupid and fake

I love the randomized thumbnails that dont care about the thumbnail i made specifically to be the thumbnail 🥲

Proposed ICE concentration camp floor plan

If we rounded up all the billionaires, they would fit in just one of those ICE concentration camps

The greatest myths of emancipation are:
1. That white people ended slavery and freed black americans. Enslaved people continuously organized and revolted, and the ruling class of the north simply read the room to retain control
2. That slavery ended at all. Our lives belong to capital

Eat the rich

The Democrats arent incompetent cowards. They are malicious. They know what they are doing and they are succeeding.
