Marxist Texan | Blue Collar I like to read theory DOTP all day, every day. Capitalism must end. Free Palestine. Protect our trans comrades. Lift the Cuban embargo. It's been long enough.

I think I've come to terms with the fact that I won't live to see Communism in my lifetime. This will take centuries of cultural and social change.

But I do think we can achieve socialism in my lifetime. Everyone having the right to what they need.

The NYT's making sure everyone sees this piece pushing eugenicist views of autistic people.

Alt text: A smartphone notification from The New York Times at 7:20 PM. The headline reads “Diagnosing Autism.” The subtext says, “Families of people with severe autism say the expansion of the diagnosis has pushed them to the sidelines.” There are “Share” and notification options below.

Visiting the National Museum of Mexican Art, there is a section dedicated to socialist and anti-capitalist art/politics. Amazing pieces, I’ll probably come back again.

Why blame the fossil fuel companies when we can blame people with asthma? That just makes so much sense. 😑

The people who are most vulnerable to the hard-to-breathe air that comes with climate change may inadvertently be adding to the problem, new research finds. https://cnn.it/4pWQMoh

My god, the subtitles from the original had a spelling mistake.

Normally, if given a choice between doing something and nothing. I'd choose to do nothing.

But I will do something if it helps someone else do nothing.

I'd work all night if it meant nothing got done.

Bourgeoisie:
Normally, if given a choice between spending money & keeping people poor. I'd choose to keep em poor.

Bourgeoisie:
But I will spend money if it helps poor people make less money.

Bourgeoisie:
I'd spend it all if it meant they got nothing at all.

We gotta make it. We have to. Communism is inevitable. The poor in the world have been pivoting towards socialism. And we have to play our part.

It's a lot sometimes. It crushes your sanity. But we gotta take hope in the fact that we KNOW a way forward that is proven to work.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

Great books to dig into to develop an understanding of intersectionality.

Non-exhaustive, but they helped me, so I'm sure they will help others as well.

If we are going to embrace a Marxist world-view, it can't be seen through a White lens only. Arguably without incorporating a racial analysis, Marxist frameworks fall short in fully understanding the complexities of oppression.

They sell us individualism because we can't defeat them alone.

Maybe a lot of people are over thinking it and instead….its really simple, cuz it’s exactly what it looks like. What we’re watching is not a bug. It’s the feature of a (capitalist imperialist corporate and government) duopoly in action and it’s working as designed.

Dem leaders are just not up to the job. I understand healthcare is vital, but if we dont have a democracy we won't have to worry about Healthcare. Why are dem leaders not in the streets with protesters???????

The only subject capitalists and their supporters are less informed about than communism is capitalism.

Make sure you vote in the duopoly and pay your taxes so that the government can do this to American citizens.

Really “cool” stuff.
