History Grad. Geo-politics and Marxism rants. Ancom. Economic democracy for all! Professional food surplus womble for a charity. Welsh. Palestinian family in the WB. Autistic. Delicious but cis. I harvest wild memes and redistribute them to the masses
This Halloween, as every Halloween since 1848, I shall be dressing as the Spectre of Communism.

Some elements of the western corporate economy are doing very well out of the war.

Fossil capitalism is based on a systematic transfer of wealth from workers to fossil capitalists. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
The MET police in London have said they will arrest anyone attending the Palestine protest tomorrow, regardless of whether they are holding a sign with illegal words or not. Taking a bottle of water to an old lady? Arrestable. Giving someone a lift? Arrestable. Facilitating terrorism!
The Israeli election has two zionist blocks neck and neck, but neither is capable of forming a government because getting a majority would mean working with Palestinian parties. Doing so would mean making deals to treat Palestinians a bit better, so it's off the table. Zionism is racism.
Israel and the US are having elections to try and change leadership. People in the UK think this is amateurish. Why not just install some random bloke from outside of the parliament? That's how democracy is done right.

Polls are saying that the Israeli opposition would win the election hands down if they would form a coalition with Palestinian parties. Obviously they rule this out, because Israel is racist as shit.
Humanity invents machines to make work easier. We can now produce more with less human labour than ever before. Yet we're still expected to spend most of our lives working just to survive. The problem isn't in the machines. It's who owns them. #Marxistmonday

The Israelis have kicked 450 people out of their houses in Hebron as part of the election campaign, including 300 kids. If you want to win an 'election' in a fascist state, you have to prove you are the biggest arsehole standing.
A house is somewhere to live. Somewhere to raise children. Somewhere to feel safe. Somewhere to grow old. We turned that basic human need into an investment asset, then acted surprised when millions couldn't afford one. The housing market isn't failing investors. It's failing humanity.
Israelis go to the polls in two days to choose between; - Ultrazionist supremacists with a religious angle. - Ultrazionist supremacists with a nationalist 'state first' angle. Both are full supporters of the genocide, neither wants to see a Palestinian state.

We're told to work harder if we want a better life. But when wages rise, rents rise. Bills rise. Prices rise. And somehow the people who own the houses, businesses and assets keep getting richer. You can't work your way out of a system designed to take back everything you earn.
If the economy grows but you can't afford a home, who benefited? If productivity rises but you work longer hours, who benefited? If corporations make record profits but you can't afford food, who benefited? The owning class is robbing us all blind.
Marx said capitalism would inevitably consume itself, and when the head nation of the capitalist empire starts turning its own majority into an impoverished underclass that we would have called 'third world' in the past... Well, yeah. Read the bearded man.
