There's no better case for socialism than the world's first trillionaire being a massive loser who cosplays as his mom and baby online and lies about being good at video games in an attempt to give his life meaning.
without class consciousness & political education, the masses in the imperial core will continue to self id w the politics of liberalism even if their desires for change go far beyond.
most communists/socialists in the us went on their ideological journey because of bernie’s insurgent “democratic socialist” campaign in 2016 when he ran as a democrat against hillary clinton. the electoral system is a viable route to reach the masses w an alternative. this is what the moneyed interest in both parties fear, this is why they spend against their left flank & fight it tooth and nail.
we must continue helping people awaken to the reality of this systems design that creates such inequality, it is not the migrant workers, nor trans people, or muslims or jews- but the billionaires and the parasitic forces of capital and its servants that are responsible for the deteriorating material conditions.

Shut the fuck up you smug closet case.
In the 1950s, one out of every three workers in this country carried a union card. Today, it’s fewer than one in ten.
That decline didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of decades of coordinated attacks by corporations that have grown richer while working people have been asked to settle for less.
That’s the crisis we’re living through: deepening inequality, eroding stability, and a political system that too often answers to wealth instead of the will of the people.
Union Now is changing that — rebuilding the power of working people from the ground up. Yesterday, alongside @BernieSanders, I was proud to stand with organizers and workers at the @UnionNow_ rally.
An F-15 fighter jet starts at roughly $90 million. For every one of them shot down in Iran, we lose millions of our taxpayer dollars that could have funded healthcare and housing for all.
We must demand that the US end its illegal war with Iran so we can invest in our future.
Piker: Every single dollar that is spent on a bomb is stolen from each of you because that’s a dollar that they spend blowing up a school overseas instead of building schools in your neighborhood.
classic trump move:
break things 100%
market plunges into chaos
people yell at you
roll it back 20%
modest market relief
claim victory
(things are still broken 80%)
break things again the next day

Vigeland: You could pay for college for all for Americans in a week with what we're spending in Iran. And you know what a lot of these young men and women who are signing up to be on the front lines, who might die in this war in Iran, are signing up for?
In many ways, patriotism, a sense of duty. But also a college education, these are the choices that we have made as a country. And this is the choice that Donald Trump is making.
Over 3.2 million Iranians displaced in the last two weeks. Over 800,000 Lebanese displaced in the last two weeks. Over 2 million Palestinians displaced in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th. All in the service of one country and its genocidal, neocolonial project.
