I know this’ll probably come across as incredibly arrogant, but I swear once you develop an understanding of dialectical and historical materialism, liberalism just seems like complete baby talk.

The aim of the ruling class over the last fifty years has been to make the working class lose all awareness of itself as a class.This is behind the relentless propaganda to declare that everyone was "middle class" in the 1990s and 2000s.

"On the left, we don’t know how to appeal to people’s deep passions. We think we’re very smart and very critical. But where’s the radical imaginary by which people will be passionately absorbed?"
“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

People think of human existence as plagued by certain familiar problems from time immemorial, and I think most would be shocked to learn that most of those problems are created, enacted, enforced and perpetuated as a matter of policy and law because they are immensely profitable for a handful of us.

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

Dick Cheney, architect of the invasion of Iraq, was found dead near the toilet today. He shitted so much that he lifted up into the air and sustained 800 broken bones when tumbling off of the top of his geyser of shit. Officials have elected to concrete off the area rather than deal with the corpse.

No one died in blockaded socialist Cuba during Hurricane Melissa, one of the worst storms ever to hit the country.

At least two people died in the world's richest city, in the world's richest country, during a Nor'easter.
I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.
Two Die in NYC Basements as Squall Brings Massive Rain Burst to City
Two men, one in Central Brooklyn and another in Upper Manhattan, were found dead in flooded areas after intense rain arrived late on Thursday.

I think one problem a lot of people, Marxists and non-Marxists alike, have is they assume a sort of textbook idea, and not a set of ideas or principles that should be applied within context.

It's easy to imagine how rich people might take a short-term hit for long-term gain.

I think one thing keeping us from talking frankly re: how much it costs just to live is the constant “baristas/people with iPhones/etc. aren’t working class” bullshit conflating superficial cues with capitalist relations to the means of production. Nobody wants to admit they make ANY money!
People did warn me when I was younger to pursue high-paying fields, and I always shrugged them off. I thought, “I’m not a materialistic person, I don’t want to live in luxury—I’ll be fine making a modest salary. Money’s not important to me.”

Turns out you need a shitload of money just to be broke.
