Columbus was not a "heroic explorer," he was the vanguard of imperialist exploitation. To say otherwise is an insult to Indigenous peoples everywhere.

"There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery."-KM Here to remind you there is an alternative. Build class consciousness. Liberation can be ours ☭ Stand with 🇵🇸 🇱🇧 🇨🇺
"Intellectual darkness is essential to industrial slavery. Ignorance alone stands in the way of socialist success. The capitalist parties understand this and use their resources to prevent the workers from seeing the light." -Eugene V Debs #SocialistSunday
Capitalism is, at its core, organized theft. Marx laid it out clearly over a century and a half ago, and nothing has changed except now it's far more relentless and extractive. Though that was inevitable.
🚨 NEW VIDEO! This one discusses the rhetoric of "oligarchy" as used to deflect against class consciousness and the ways in which liberals suppress class struggle via reformism. Be sure to share it with your liberal friends! 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHgO...
Why Won't They Just Say "Capitalism?"

Liberals would rather dismiss socialists than take us seriously because that means admitting that their prized "compromises" aren't pragmatic, they're complicit. Deep down, that frightens them far more than the shit status quo ever will.
The oppressor never willingly surrenders control. You cannot negotiate with a machine whose very existence depends on your destruction. Palestinians know all too well this reality. #FreePalestine
So many "allies" showing their liberal Zionist asses lately. Palestinians have the right to resist genocide by any means necessary.
"The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to vote blue no matter who." -Che Guevara
But according to Bernstein it would appear as though Marx in these words warned the working class against excessive revolutionary zeal when seizing power. A cruder more hideous distortion of Marx’s idea cannot be imagined.
Workers and the colonized must understand the actual conditions of their struggle to act effectively. "Hide nothing from the masses of our people. Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories." - Amílcar Cabral #SocialistSunday
Every horrible thing we're seeing and experiencing both in the US and around the world is the result of capitalism. Fascism is ascendant globally because this is where capitalism inevitably leads as it spirals into crisis and self-destruction.
A class-conscious worker sees the machinery for what it is. The same state violence used to crush labor at home funds the bombs dropped on families abroad.
Reject the reactionary eugenicist framing that human value equals market output. "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." We ALL have a stake in this.
Why are they trying to make you hate disabled people?

Trillions for war, foreign military "aid", genocide, and domestic repression, but suggest something like guaranteed healthcare for all? Suddenly, the coffers are empty... fucking parasites are running the show.
The capitalist state does not exist to save you. It exists to guarantee the extraction of profit and finance the police apparatus when the oppressed dare to organize. The rot is total, the system is irredeemable, and no mere reforms will change that.
The contradictions of capital have reached a pitch so glaring, so grotesque, that even the bourgeois press can no longer mask the systemic rot. Not for a lack of trying.
People aren't poor because they fail to create wealth, they're poor because the wealth they create is stolen by greedy capitalist fucks.
The crux of the matter is that this bourgeoisie is more afraid of the people than of reaction. The crux of the matter is that this rightward swing has not been accidental, but has been caused by the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
“I’m more and more convinced it’s only through communism that we can become human” - Frida Kahlo #SocialistSunday
"We are not communists out of a desire to destroy, but out of a desire to build. We want to construct a world free from human exploitation, where every individual can flourish." -Thomas Sankara
Now is the time to promote real socialism. Stop repackaging social democracy and calling it socialism. The public is receptive to an anticapitalist message and we should be engaging in education and building class consciousness, not trying to save capitalism from itself.
Surveys Show Socialism Growing in Popularity
Forty-three percent of Americans have a positive view of socialism, the highest share since Gallup began tracking the measure in 2010.

The working class NEEDS to get on the same page or they are just going to keep steamrolling us...
We need central planning. Ruling class simps will scream, "but society will collapse without the market." Let them. They refuse to see that market anarchy is precisely what starves millions while food rots in warehouses.
