Workers are now taking home the smallest percent of America's economic output since records began in 1947.
At the same time corporate profits are now at the highest point since 1950.
You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.
America has never been a democracy. The Founders considered democracy to be mob rule. They were terrified of what was at the time called “levelling”, or enforced equality of rich and poor. The Quakers were in this tradition as well, they were widely seen as working for the British. There was no Marxism then, but there were various egalitarian movements in England that took inspiration from the Bible that arose in response to the ongoing theft of the commons. Democratic rights were tied to property. These were men of property, and every document that wrote was in the service of their defense of it. If you were a white male and did not own land, you were considered too irresponsible and stupid to vote and participate in government, and prone to leveling desires, and lust for their property. They did not rebel to empower Irish and Germans fresh off the boat, they rebelled because they saw the British system as a brake on the advancement of their class. The idea of women, Indigenous, and Africans participating in government was at the time as ludicrous as dogs participating.
It doesn’t matter who started each of the fires. What matters is most people aren’t reacting the way the capitalist class wants us to.
What matters is people recognizing that capitalist property is protected by the government more than our lives & human rights.
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
The Black Panther Party was the last great attempt at developing a revolutionary class of Americans willing to push back on National Tyranny.. After our Gov & the FBI dismantled the Panthers.. they learned exactly how to destroy any group that attempted to do the same.
it’s 2050. the world cup has been expanded to 128 teams. italy has missed out on a trip to the finals in greater israel after a difficult away loss at gibraltar
The reason why we have Black ICE agents is because sociopathy is not simply a white man’s condition, and certain of our people are willing to sell their souls for money.
Undocumented people do not get any resources from the United States government. They avoid contact with authorities because they will be arrested, tortured, and deported.
Certain employers prefer to use undocumented people because they are not union, and thus are cheap. This is the fault of the capitalists, not the people they exploit.
This is ignorant and irresponsible rhetoric. This is how racist whites talked about our ancestors when they came North looking for work, and it stirred up race riots.
