No-one of consequence, and getting used to disappointment. Like the twenty-second elephant with heated value in space (bark!).

It's pretty funny how cities can't fix the endless potholes and cracks in the roads but have the money to put surveilance camera's everywhere.

The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.

Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.

This is the myth of the genius.

Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.

Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.

Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.

This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.

Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.

The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.

It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.

Jobs are gone. The economy is tanking. Thrifting is ruined. Music and movies are getting worse. There’s no housing. Everything is expensive. Romance is deaď. Authenticity is ďying. Honestly, what is there to live for??

Marx and Engels dealt with this in The Communist Manifesto. You reproach the communists for wanting to abolish religion, the family & private property, but capitalism is already undermining all three & bolstering the the domination of the state over society.

@Thunderballs007 I remember seeing that poster at my local cinema (sadly long since demolished), wondering who this `Pierce Brosnan‘ guy might be, and getting so excited at the prospect of a brand new Bond movie I could actually see on the big screen (it was my first such experience)

@birrion @StardustRedding @NotPotBol I'm sure many probably shared that sentiment about another coup attempt a century ago in Munich...

[Patrick 🥀🚩🇸🇩 🏴‍☠️ @RadarRanger]

@birrion @StardustRedding @NotPotBol Of course there is; the current petty bourgeoise base for the rightwing movement might be among the largest and most influential in modern history.

[Patrick 🥀🚩🇸🇩 🏴‍☠️ @RadarRanger]

@birrion @StardustRedding @NotPotBol Why shouldn't the current rightwing parties in power and their network of allies & supporting organizations solidfying their power base over the last half-century be called a fascist movement? As for the working class, we're nowhere near as organized or supported as our enemies.

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

Saddam wasn’t removed for 'freedom' -he started selling oil in Euros.

Gaddafi wasn’t bombed for 'human rights' -he threatened the dollar with a gold-backed African currency.

Maduro wasn’t targeted because of 'democracy'- Venezuela dared to sell oil in Yuan and step outside U.S. financial control.

Every time someone messes with the petrodollar, they magically become a dictator overnight.

Call it what it is, racketeering with flags. 'Liberation' is what they sell to the evening news.

happy fucking new year😣

[Jack Tye Wilson ☭ @bolsh3vik]

People on the left need to stop relying so much on the concept of "illegal invasions" going against "international law".

There is no "international law" under imperialism – and there never has been! The US has always acted unilaterally to assert its interests, from the Monroe Doctrine to the present day.

The very idea of a lawfully-governed "international community" was only over meant to be window dressing for US world hegemony.

Making "international law" the thrust of your critique sows illusions in the idea of a harmonious and rational capitalist world order, where imperialism can be defanged by diplomacy and UN discussions.

It also means you restrict yourself to the same language and outlook as Starmer, and the rest of the liberal establishment. That can never be a good thing.

We oppose the invasion of Venezuela not on the basis of legal abstractions, but from a class point of view. Because it infringes the elementary democratic rights of an oppressed and exploited nation. Because it will mean the parasitic carving up of its resource-rich economy, to enrich the US oligarchy. Because it will plunge into misery the workers and poor who were uplifted by the Bolivarian Revolution.

We oppose imperialism because we want to weaken and overthrow our ruling classes – which, by the way, is especially "illegal" and "against international law".

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

There is no justification for supporting the U.S.’s invasion of Venezuela. This was a blatant act of war and imperialism. The world can see the United States for what it is: A barbaric capitalist empire that enriches itself by invading and stealing resources from other nations.
