To liberals, the state is essentially a class-neutral and independent institution whose character is simply determined by whether it is managed by "good" or "bad" people

The opium of the masses of men

In class society, masculinity basically functions as one massive coping mechanism. It allows men who live alienated and insignificant lives that are in alignment with capitalism and the state to still feel powerful by enabling them to see themselves as more capable than women and (some) other men.

Imagine if democracy was actually an integral part of everyday life and not just a liberal buzzword for bourgeois electoral politics

While right-wing crimes are at record levels, there are more and more people repeating the "Antifa are the real fascists" nonsense.

Way too many leftists are way too comfortable with reproducing ableism, racism, classism, transphobia etc. towards shitty people that say shitty things.

You don't beat the right by capitulating to their worldview

Reminder that the current mass deportations are not unique to the Trump administration. The Obama administration was infamous for its rapid mass deportations.

The Democrats always have been just as complicit as the Republicans in the domestic and foreign evils of US empire.

Liberals being ok with Che Guevara but then hating Fidel Castro even though they literally stand for the same thing is so funny to me.

There is literally no coherence in the liberal mind. Just decades of red scare propaganda

The Curb-Cut Effect:

You can apply this to all kinds of struggles of various marginalized groups. Be it the struggle against neuronormativity, ableism, the gender binary, classism etc.

Dismissing something because it is "populist" is as liberal as it gets. Populism is a term liberals love to use because it allows them to frame racist right-wing conspiracy theories and materialist class analysis as the same thing that should both be opposed

Keynes didn't consider the fact that we live in a capitalist economy 🙏🏻😔

Our education system teaches us that politics is something for academics, elites and politicians, while the working class masses and marginalized groups are simply seen as the object of politics rather than its active subjects.

A prime example of class society impacting education.

Fascism is a process

Angry Wojak: "Stop calling everything fascist! Things aren't like the Third Reich!"

Response: "before the establishment of a fascist dictatorship, bourgeois governments usually pass through a number of preliminary stages and adopt a number of reactionary measures which directly facilitate the accession to power of fascism. Whoever does not fight the reactionary measures of the bourgeoisie and the growth of fascism at these preparatory stages is not in a position to prevent the victory of fascism, but, on the contrary, facilitates that victory."

Many people who say "Political violence isn't the answer!" because of what happened to Charlie Kirk are the same ones who were either intentionally silent or actively supported and enabled the erasure of the palestinian people.

"The prison has become a black hole into which the detritus of contemporary capitalism is deposited. Mass imprisonment generates profits as it devours social wealth, and thus it tends to reproduce the very conditions that lead people to prison."

These are all things that prevent people from having agency over their lives and from actualizing their full potential. [2/2]

Capitalism promotes hyperindividualism and yet prevents genuine individualism (the ability to self-actualize) from actually being possible for many people.

Poverty, homelessness, wage-labor, lack of reliable healthcare and education, an unhealthy environment... [1/2]

The Marshall Plan came with severe strings attached, as is often the case with aid from the US. And those strings hurt workers, marginalized groups and leftists more than anything else.
