Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
You're a worker. You don't have to agree with every decision of the communist movement or of the socialist states throughout history, but to disavow them in their entirety means you disavow your own right to imperfectly fight for liberation. This is your history, too.
This might sound pessimistic, but I’ve always wondered why no billionaire has single-handedly funded the halting or reversal of climate change purely for the narcissistic thrill of being able to say they literally saved humanity.
Hoy es 1 de mayo.
No es el "día del trabajo".
Es el día internacional de la clase trabajadora.
Trabajar menos.
Trabajar todos.
Producir lo necesario.
Redistribuirlo todo.
Socializar los medios de producción.
The media moved on like nothing happened.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.
The hardest thing to explain to someone inside the imperial consensus is the concept of structural violence.
They understand individual violence.
One person harms another person.
There is a perpetrator and a victim and a clear causal chain.
What they cannot see, what the entire educational and media apparatus has been carefully designed to prevent them from seeing, is the violence that happens when a system is arranged so that certain people predictably die, predictably suffer, predictably lose, not because any individual decided to harm them specifically but because the overall arrangement of power requires their subordination.
The people of the Global South do not die of poverty because individual Americans wish them dead.
They die because the international economic architecture, the terms of trade, the debt structures, the conditions attached to IMF loans, the intellectual property regimes that prevent technology transfer, the agricultural subsidies that undercut developing world farmers, is arranged, in aggregate, in a way that concentrates wealth in already wealthy countries and extracts it from already poor ones.
And that architecture was designed.
It was negotiated.
It was implemented by specific people in specific rooms making specific decisions about who would benefit and who would not.
This is violence.
It does not look like violence because no one is pulling a trigger.
But the deaths it produces are just as dead.
And when you try to explain this to someone whose entire identity rests on the belief that what they have they earned, and what others lack they failed to achieve, you are not making a political argument.
You are dismantling the story that makes their life make sense.
They will not thank you for it.
They will defend against it with everything they have.
Because the alternative, accepting that their comfort is downstream of other people's dispossession, is not a policy position.
It is an identity catastrophe.
A message for all you people leaving MAGA -
Fuck You.
It wasn’t the “Grab ‘em by the pussy”,
It wasn’t the mocking of a disabled person,
It wasn’t the thousands of lies,
It wasn’t the $130,000. 00 Porn Star Payout.
It wasn’t the rest of the infidelity,
It wasn’t the 34 felony convictions,
It wasn’t the 400 million dollar jet from Qatar,
It wasn’t the withholding of federal funds to Blue States devastated by wild fires, hurricanes and tornadoes.
It wasn’t the Americans killed and deported,
It wasn’t the illegal wars started without Congressional approval.
It wasn’t the 160 school girls he murdered with a Tomahawk Missile.
It wasn’t the Children He Raped.
It was a fucking AI picture that drove you over the edge.
I will never forgive you.
I will never forget who you are.
You are, and always will be a Trump supporter.
Read the list again.
You Are Shit.
