Most/all anti-gov populist rhetoric resonates because the goal of a bourgeois gov is to facilitate the exploitation of surplus value from the working masses. Now imagine a proletarian government, where the goal is to improve people’s lives. China’s gov has a 90+% approval rating. Just saying.

abolishing the american senate would be an unalloyed good. doing the same with the supreme court and presidency would be even better

I would also add the same goes if your socialist group shows up and hijacks a movement from the local community to its own ends. Vanguardism is at root about empowering the masses to fight for themselves, not dictating policy and imposing strategy as outsiders.

Socialists seeking to sabotage other socialist organizations instead of working to improve them or just showing their own organization to be organized correctly through practice are useful idiots for the ruling class

Liberals: We don’t want fascists in our country! Also liberals: bruh, why you gotta be so mean to them and get in their faces? Also liberals: Vote harder! 🙄 If we had 50 of these people in all major cities, ICE would be paralyzed. Dude’s a hero www.huffpost.com/entry/arturo...

A 23-Year-Old Is Using Unorthodox Tactics To Expose Federal Agents. He Has No Plans To Stop.

ICE considers Arturo Gonzalez an “agitator,” and his tactics make even some allies uncomfortable — but many followers call him a hero.

If even the WSJ is basically saying “we don’t have enough weapons to keep fighting beyond a few more weeks, we need to sign a peace to end the war immediately”, it’s *really* bad. ALL IMPERIALISTS ARE PAPER TIGERS! www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Trump Pauses Iran Strikes as Officials Weigh Dwindling Air Defense Stocks

not funding israel is actually no longer enough. i want at bare minimum to see sanctions on the level being placed on russia on the state of israel and the israeli economy as a whole, they should be being treated like south africa during apartheid.

If Democrats want to reduce the political centrality of Israel, literally all they have to do is stop voting to fund it. Half the salience of the issue, sadly, is baseline opposition to foreign aid generally Remove that & it remains an issue but not a politically central one

Americans need to stop publicly supporting their military. WE are the Evil Empire. US soldiers are the stormtroopers. The Vietnamese and Koreans and Iranians are the Rebellion. Until we stop publicly proclaiming the US military to be ‘the good guys’, nothing is going to change in this country.

Feeling overwhelmed with the tasks of building a better world, with the complexity of it all? Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. The first two steps are to join an organization, and start reading theory. Just a little bit each day adds up. A better world is possible!

Government: sets up oversight and regulation to make sure food is healthy and diseases are wiped out Republicans: “We don’t even need this oversight and regulation anymore! Government overreach!” Trump: gets rid of it Public: “why does everyone have diarrhea and measles again?!”

Anyone else think the rich people in control of our government using their power to destroy our lives should be, I dunno, maybe just a little tiny bit afraid of how much we all hate them? www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

US justices make rare Capitol Hill appearance to warn of threats against them

Questions have persisted over the conduct of some justices, including Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas.

Senators Graham and McConnell are dead (or practically). I refuse to be polite or civil about it. These men wrought evil (war, bigotry, poverty) for evil ends (exploitation, empire, personal gain). They helped build American fascism. Their names should be cursed and memories damned.

Man, someone should really put together a show going through the true history and debunking the propaganda… 🤔

platner going "I won but (((they))) are taking it away from me" is a fantastically demented exit line, this mfer is 💯 going on the Cancel Culture circuit to rebrand as a conservative

If the Democrats had any political fight in them at all, Bashear would simply name a new senator and dare the Republicans to stop him, instead of playing the game they’ve rigged for themselves. Stopping fascism ❌ Doing it the “right” way ✅

Ona Judge successfully fled her enslavement to Washington. He spent his entire adult life trying to re-enslave her.

It’s so disgusting how politicized SA is. Other allegations were ignored and belittled bc the accuser is a Rep. So what, only “good guy” victims matter? I hope liberal and Dem women take note. They dgaf about you. They don’t care. They. Don’t. Care. Call it the Bill Clinton effect.

If you still vote for/support Platner, the following does not matter to you as long as your person gets in: -voluntary military service to kill Iraqis -association with fascism -MULTIPLE accusations of sexual assault Question: In what way are you better than a Trump voter? I’ll wait.

Platner to Maine women

Cannot WAIT for all the socdem folks on the online left to tell us why Maine still needs to elect Platner, otherwise the SA in Chief will get away with it

Capitalist realism is when life essentials like medicine or baby formula are kept in locked cabinets in stores because people are so desperate that they might steal these things… and we all look at that and say “sure, theft is wrong,” instead of asking “should life essentials be paywalled?”

This 4th of July, what should we celebrate? Slavery, genocide, misogyny, class warfare, exploitation, ecocide, fascism? ❌ Resistance, endurance, radical feminism, class consciousness, conservation, socialism? ✅ Oh, and defeating the alien invaders. Can’t forget that.

I was raised Catholic. Anyone else perturbed by the recent praising of Pope Leo XIV? He’s against AI and the war in Iran - literally two of the easiest issues to be on right side of. But he’s still the head of the greatest reactionary institution which ran the largest ped0ph1le ring in history.

US Supreme Court clears way for Trump administration to revive restrictive immigration policy

Communist parties and DSA chapters NEED to be organizing around this and getting into communities and providing regular assistance as explicit socialists. This needs to be a priority

This Juneteenth, take a moment to reflect on the truth of the US Civil War. The end of slavery was not something benevolent white folk handed down to black and African people. It was something for which black and African people fought, bled, and died. Freedom wasn’t a gift; it was won!

In case it isn’t clear: - Iran won the war - Iran now gets to set the peace terms - The US has to bring Isr*el to heel or risk losing the deal - Trump is a dementia-addled fascist wannabe dictator This is what it looks like when an empire collapses. apnews.com/article/iran...
