So long as capitalism persists, it also continually reproduces the social conditions from which the communist movement emerges (generalized commodity production, wage labor, crises, and class antagonism). Capitalism produces, above all, its own gravediggers.
It should be illegal for medical professionals to work for 24 hours straight. What an absurd practice. We don’t let pilots fly planes for 24 hours straight. Why do we let people who make life and death decisions for total strangers do this?
the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.
The postwar boom was a historical anomaly only made possible by the destruction of World War II, but its duration convinced generations that this was "normal" capitalism. In fact capitalism is now merely returning to its normal state of chronic crisis and insecurity for workers.
I brought up how in Cuba after the revolution their literacy rate increased dramatically to ~90% and a guy in my class who I was telling this to laughed, leaned in and said “you know that in Cuba they have to write on stones” and then looked at me like this
En Francia, grabaron uno de los contenedores de basura de la cadena alimenticia Carrefour, donde desechan todo tipo de alimentos comestibles para seguir el bucle consumista y no bajar los precios.
Mientras más de 2,300 millones de personas en el mundo (29.3%) padecen de hambre, 1300 millones de toneladas de comida producida al año (1/3 del total) es desechada para la especulación de los capitalistas.
Asi es como la burguesía capitalista mantiene sus beneficios, especulando con el hambre, porque en el capitalismo el derecho a la alimentación no existe, solo es negocio.
True story, after centuries of Romanov incompetence, the Czar was going to pull and all nighter and fix everything -- but then the revolution happened!
It’s probably fine that vast swathes zoomers and younger millennials exist in a kind of permanent internalized panopticon in which all actions are assumed to be (and interpreted as) performances for a viewer
Workers around the world are enraged by the injustice of the capitalist system.
What’s needed is a mass revolutionary party to unite all that class anger into an organized force that can overthrow the Epstein class and their system of exploitation.

@rushicrypto this is the paradox nobody in silicon valley wants to address. every company is racing to eliminate labor costs while depending on a consumer economy that runs entirely on labor income. they're all individually rational and collectively suicidal
