TENNESSEE VOTERS: Check your ballots carefully. Local news outlets are reporting complaints from early voters who say voting machines displayed candidates they did not intend to select.

Teaching the French Revolution today and I have to say when we got to the part about rich people going to the guillotines my students were…unusually interested.

Marxist Unity Group deliberated & voted on the following statement to demonstrate our commitment to abolition as a central tenet of DSA's program. The working class cannot rule while a large part of it remains policed & caged. While there is a soul in prison, we are not free.

reminder that the d in dsa means DEMOCRATIC--if you dont like the direction of the org, show the 100k+ workers in the dsa that you know a better path forward. quit whining because democracy doesn't immediately go to your route, organizing involves working in the mud with workers, not ivory towers.

do some american marxists recognize that we can be adults and walk and chew gum at the same time? dudes be like "dsa running candidates is reformism and wont overthrow capital" then ignore everything else the dsa does so they can sit comfortably in their book clubs and group chats doing nothing.

conversely, socialist projects failing under extreme external pressures is always blamed on supposed structural contradiction. there is often only ever nuance when the conversation is defending the continued existence of capitalism.

when capitalism fails blame is never put on the system but rather on groups of people. Injustice and inefficiency are exclusively blamed on jews or immigrants or trans folk or people of color and oftentimes just workers themselves.

whoever designed the shitty paper wraps on ice cream sandwiches should be flayed alive

within the trans community there's a huge difference between those trans people who want an end to all oppression and those whose goal is to liberate trans people because they wish to be oppressors themselves. Fuck identity politics. Advocate for true solidarity, not an inclusive labor aristocracy.

libs really seethe about russia and make up conspiracies about them all the time its really fucking embarrassing. im more worried about the western oligarchs than the russian ones and you should be too. we have way bigger fish to fry in our all-american capitalist hellscape

DAMAGED LEDGER - Two octopuses are smiling, reaching their tentacles toward each other in the coloured pencil drawings. The tickets permit access to a zoo in Revachol East. The aquarium costs extra -- they let you go there too. You should go and kill yourself there.

you can say you think it can be advantageous to vote in elections sometimes and someone will try and insist you must be an imperialist socdem ignoring the global south bitch thats a whole new sentence! these people also insist they’re the truest marxists while very clearly being baby leftists.

finally saw someone on instagram say that voting can’t solve capitalism but can be utilized as a tactic and i think this is an indicator of 0.002% of communism being built i remain in existential despair at how many people cannot comprehend this in 2026

libs organize action better than leftists, but their actions suck much to consider

important trans milestone: realizing you do fit in with other trans people but the first ones you were around aren’t your people just because they’re trans

i love my girlfriend

tactical larp is drag

israelis genuinely say shit like “my precious baby boy (idf soldier) got kidnapped while attending coachella outside aushwitz” and expect me to not support october 7th wholeheartedly

mixed adderall and melatonin and in stead of sleep i realized nobody in half life 2 got a knee pad on like you’d expect at least one but no

i’ve seen like three green people on my feed this morning and nobody talking about it

Women like women too, officer. Try not to fixate on this. Let's move on.

Hey, midterms are nearly a month out. You will rarely hear this from a communist, but go vote. It won't end capitalism, but harm reduction is *real* I'd like to see my immigrant friends and my community safer. Keep organizing, but also throw a vote out too. Sincerely, a transwoman in a red state.

fearmongering about ai code mashing up games somehow creating a security blackout is quite literally y2k shit all over again. new failure modes will be solved in the same way that prevented y2k. people doing their jobs and updating their processes. do people think programmers never saw this coming?

Finally, no I am *not* advocating reformism. Choice is not merely a ballot box, it's what someone is capable of doing. Dual power structures are the best method through which, in the process of building and exercising it, alienation withers.

This brings me back to a belief I sincerely hold regarding America. Americans are capable of building socialism. What stops this is not a deficiency of intelligence but of ability. Soothing contradiction is done by setting the working class in a position to *choose.* Alienation is what traps us.

"Its self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order. This is the situation of politics which Fascism is rendering aesthetic. Communism responds by politicizing art." ~ Walter Benjamin

Politics and pop culture have become the same thing. I have met various trump supporters who seemingly hold no personal animosity toward the oppressed, some have even expressed progressive ideas. It doesn't really matter when it's not about politics. It is pop culture, identity, and aesthetic.

PAYPHONE - You're not a revolutionary, Harry... You're drunk.

i think the true “western left” these types cry about are actually themselves. There’s raw ethnocentrism in this outright denial of the IRGC’s view. The IRGC is actively facing imperialist aggression, I think they know a bit more about what impacts them than Americans Iran flag emojis online.

Scrabble 🇵🇸@scrabbleposs.bsky.social · 3w ago

it’s entertaining to watch third-worldists and campist types suddenly laugh at the IRGC for suggesting americans should vote. Suddenly when it would require more nuanced analysis of the american moment these types have chosen to ignore or downplay multipolar perspectives.
