@christoaivalis The working class want people to fight for them. They are crying out for socialism.
Socialism can and will, win everywhere and crush the old society.
Donald Trump spewing anti communism will have the opposite affect. Now anti Trumper liberals who are disillusioned with the establishment democrats are gonna google Karl Marx by the thousands, learning what the movement truly is.
I know it’s happening, it happened to me.
@Inhumansoflate1 Actually a good intro pipeline could be,
- Manifesto (with principals of communism)
- Socialism Utopian and Scientific
-Wage, Labor & Capital, Value Price & Profit
- Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State
- The German Ideology
@WarrenGLewis1@TedRall They are allowed to do this because the capitalist constitute the ruling class of society, who, as capitalism historically developed, have a legal system and a state apparatus that shifted to serve the needs of this new system and of this new ruling class.
@WarrenGLewis1@TedRall Why wouldn’t capitalist feed you when you are going after their pocket book, trying to get the wealth that you produced back?
This is what socialists mean by class war. The second you step out of line, they threaten you with brutality, that is what a lack of shelter and food is
@WarrenGLewis1@TedRall Yes they originate from the labor of workers in the past. That is all what wealth is, free time given by the growing efficiency of means of production, build and developed by workers.
Money is a stand in for the resources that represent this wealth.
@WarrenGLewis1@TedRall This forces businesses to shut down or to fire workers in order to maintain profit margins as they can’t sell all of their output. This is called a business cycle, or a recession if it happens all across the economy.
@WarrenGLewis1@TedRall Well in order for restaurants to succeed people need more disposable income, which comes from wages. Wages, which capitalist try to suppress as much as possible, hurt the economy.
The contradiction is that this means there is less money for consumption.
