Unfollowing opportunism enthusiasts! We have to build our counter-institutions and anti capitalist organizations outside the state in order to defeat capitalism!! People enthusiastic about reformism want proletarian rage to be assimilated back into broken corrupt edifices instead of building anew
The workplace, the tenant organization, the neighborhood: these are the main terrains of struggle! We must build organization across the life worlds of worker quotidian existence! This is not the time to forget history ! No crisis is when we build the root network of power to outlive the shattering

The programs of revolution all end in the same direction if you look at history: in Russia, before the Bolshevik party, Soviets or worker councils did a general strike. In Hungary, Spain, Haiti and in numerous colonized countries, the same. Wielders of invariant principles must connect in workplaces

Incoherent people may prattle on that there is no thing to do except for charity and this is a misrecognition of the historical mission given to us as living materialist thinkers in the age of great capitalist crisis! We must take up the program of principled organization of workers!

To Do a job interview you have to have a webcam! To have a web cam, you have to have a laptop or phone! And without the inheritance made of prior thefts of worker efforts and of nature’s wealth, all of these products seen as baseline are inaccessible to the worker. Communalize Internet technology!

Went to fucking staples to buy a 30$ webcam because my laptop webcam and speaker stopped working with the new windows update and the earlier version of windows can’t be downloaded any more ! Fuck techno capitalist obsolence! Fuck the value form ! Fuck consumerist technology !

From Horkheimer’s unpublished Notes for Reason & Self-Preservation (1941/42): “For modern reason, what demands further justification is not the atrocities of the plantation owners—which might then be found in the works of missionaries. Rather, the plantation provides the excuse for the missionary.”

We don’t even get good propaganda anymore, now is the age of slopaganda, cheap ai images and rhetoric that merely hints at 20 year old Sabre rattling about the “war on terror” farce which was plainly fought for oil…we don’t even get media blitzes or fake evidence presented at the UN.

Manifesting a world in which people whose only meaningful contribution to the world is saying “this is cooked” aren’t the primary arbiters of radical critique.

In workplace organizing is when you see the function of the anarchist idea of an affinity group and the council communist notion of the action committee and the revelation of how parties and workplace organizing often get woven together but also how corruption and gangsterism appear!

People who claim that theory and practice don’t align probably have never tried to unionize a workplace both through the liberal method of getting workers to sign union cards and then having an election and through the spontaneous method of getting the workers in a shop to give demands to managers

European countries like Germany have 3rd parties and 4th parties as well and that isn’t making their governments any less controlled by the rich and by people who hate immigrants!! The solution is not a better political party or politician, the solution has to be complete overthrow of the system

It's so frustrating because if they weren't masked and if they had badges and if they had real training they would still be pieces of shit and we all know there wouldn't be real accountability either

I shared a video of ice agents aiming a rifle at a peaceful protester and I just want to break down the most common comment I got

"These aren't real police"

Yes they are, this is what police do. There isn't a good version of this. They are far more doofy and less organized but they are LEOs

Fucking liberals LOVE their military, they love their pigs except for the "few bad apples" and they love their gestapo "if they'd just only kidnap the criminals." They also love to "debate" (validate) nazis... Liberals are a real problem.

Getting lots of Marxists and anarchists to actually read theory and consider how theory is useful for making practices align with principles is an uphill battle! There is belief in simplistic dogmatic narratives that is used to mischaracterize the nature of revolutionary movements! Crisis will teach

The mere existence of the ultra wealthy means that the floor is able to rot due to the billionaires actively trying to enrich themselves at the cost of the poor! As long as divisions of labor exist between the people born into wealth and the people born into poverty, the rich will loot the commons

My stock response to those who try to get me to vote for their party. Works for both Republicans & Democrats: I will not support a party which supports endless wars & genocide, suppresses civil liberties & democracy & ignores science to defend their leader's mishandling of Covid.

Love it when I have successfully evangelized my favorite arcane misunderstood Marxist tendency to a random person on the internet!! So many people on the internet do not do research in Marxist tendencies that were not elevated to international fame due to their suppression by state capitalists
That being said, the more I discover about myself and immerse myself in the world around me it's dawned on me that my journey has led me to identifying with more leftist positions within the Marxist/communist spectrum, council communism specifically. That's not to say I'm against anarchists...

It’s tiresome seeing people fantasize about prominent figures of The Regime standing trial. The US has neither the system nor culture to enforce accountability for governing class offenders. That so many United Statists remain in Denial about this says a great deal about Fascism’s ascendancy.
"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

What we know for certain about the era of alcohol prohibition is that many politicians were very obviously bought off by organized crime during this period and just prior Woodrow Wilson who had been a KKK member was president and lead the US into world war 1 which was an obvious war for empire!
