The image shows two people sitting on a subway or train. On the left, there is a person with bright blue hair styled in pigtails, wearing headphones, and looking at a smartphone. They are dressed in a dark coat, patterned tights, and colorful shoes, with leg warmers and holding a bag.

On the right, there is an older person wearing a military-style green coat and a cap, holding a cane and appearing to be resting or sleeping.

Above them, the text "there are two types of communists:”

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

The image depicts a handshake between two Nazi pieces of shit. On the left is President Donald Trump, dressed in a blue suit, a white shirt, and a blue tie, smiling warmly. Above him, the text reads,

The image is a meme shared by a Twitter user named "SocialistFlamethrower" with the handle "@SocialistFT." The text above the image says, "Never in my life, have I seen a meme this concise."

In the illustration, there is a large boot labeled "capitalism" pressing down on the ground. Underneath the boot, a person labeled "liberals" is painting a scene on the underside of the boot. The painted scene depicts a sunny sky with clouds, suggesting an attempt to beautify or improve the oppressive nature of the boot.

Beside the person, there is a small table with two chairs, a teapot, and cups, adding to the imagery of a quaint, idyllic setting under the boot.

Therapy helps but let's be clear. You can't CBT your way out of capitalism. You can't mindfulness your way out of racism. You can't self care your way out of oppression. You can't journal your way out of ableism. This isn't about coping, it's about deconstructing the systems.

Gaza has gas. Sudan has gold. Congo has cobalt. Haiti has limestone. Afghanistan has copper. West Papua has crude oil. Every nation suffering from some form of genocide or intense suffering is attractive in the eyes of the western imperial machine of consumer capitalism.

They tortured and imprisoned Nelson Mandela too.

But they never beat him.

The image is a meme that combines a tweet with an illustration.
1. Tweet: At the top, there is a tweet from a user named "Paulaspaulatics." The tweet reads: "Arrest every single one w/a mask, black clothes and back pack. They are anarchists who are committing seduction."
2. Illustration: Below the tweet, there is a simplistic cartoon-style drawing of a person lying on their stomach. The person is wearing a black mask and black clothing, with their lower body accentuated in the drawing. The image humorously exaggerates the concept of "committing seduction" mentioned in the tweet.

Stop being afraid that they will come for you if you say or do anything "against" them.
They are coming for you anyway.

The image is an illustration with a blue background. It features a teddy bear diving downward, surrounded by bubbles, which gives the impression of being underwater. Below the bear, there are cartoonish depictions of food items, including a can labeled "BABY FORMULA" with a smiling face, a bag labeled "FOOD" with a wheat design, and other cans with similar designs. There's also a small red label in the lower right corner with the text "SUPER DORKUS." The overall tone is playful and whimsical.

Crazy that Obama, Hillary, the NYT, Darren Aronofsky, Time magazine all puffed up Greta Thunberg when they thought she'd settle into a life of Aspen institute panels and Pepsi-style gen z NGO activism but she instead went beastmode on Gaza and now they act like she never existed

does anyone else notice that when these people talk about "free speech" it's almost never about the freedom to challenge power and systemic abuse, and almost always about the freedom to denigrate marginalized people without being criticized for it?

love how the govt think that young people become anti-capitalist because of teachers/the curriculum and not because we can't afford to buy a house, we're competing with 200 other people for a job at Tesco & we have increasing access to info that shows us what the rich actually do

The image is a meme featuring a dog sitting at a table with several cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. The dog appears to have a serious expression, and there is a text overlay in two parts. The top text reads, "Me: ok, I promise I won’t get all political," and below it, "Me after 4 beers:" The dog's speech bubble reads, "Hey Dave, why do you fuckin hate poor people you fuckin bootlicker?"

This image is a meme featuring a scene from "The Simpsons" with Marge Simpson. Marge is looking out of a window at a van parked outside. The van is labeled "Flowers By Irene," with the initials "FBI" highlighted in red, suggesting a humorous take on an FBI surveillance van.

Above the scene, there's text that reads, "when your 🛠 meme gets too many ❤️”

And the moral of #Marxistmonday is...

It's almost like people with tons of capital benefit from running the economy into a huge recession every decade or two so they can buy up assets on the cheap and consolidate even more wealth into a small number of hands

The image is a political cartoon depicting a man being crushed between two large millstones labeled "Low Wages" and "High Rent." The man appears distressed and is lying on the ground with coins scattered around him. Above the millstones, a figure is turning the crank, pressing the stones together, which symbolizes the oppressive financial pressures faced by workers.

The stones are also labeled with words like "Profits," "Monopoly," "Speculation," "Rent Slavery," and "Depreciated Money," indicating various economic forces contributing to the man's plight.

Above the cartoon, there is a caption that reads: "I always get pretty depressed when I see old union cartoons from the late 19th century that are still super relevant to today, like this one." This suggests the ongoing relevance of economic struggles depicted in the cartoon.

The image is a meme featuring three people in a room, seemingly at a formal gathering or meeting. Here's a detailed description:

- Left Person: A person clapping, with the text "normies liking my shitposts" overlaid. This suggests they're representing people who enjoy casual or humorous online posts.

- Middle Person: A person also clapping, with the text "libs unaware they are liking anti-capitalist content." This implies they symbolize people who may not realize the political implications of what they are supporting.

- Right Person: A young person standing with a neutral expression, with text that reads "me about to post some content thats gonna put them on a watchlist."
