the Soviet Union’s violent crushing of the 1956 Hungary revolution protests.

Did you know that was recently revealed (through Trump’s jfk doc dump) to be yet another CIA backed fake color revolution?

It’s more “it’s time to try something else.”

I don’t know who else needs to hear this, but electoralism is over in the United States. These people have stopped playing by any rules.

This is in our hands now. Nobody’s coming to the rescue.

You feel this way because you’ve been intentionally individualized.

There is strength in community, but community threatens the capitalist class so they’ve done everything they possibly could to drive wedges between us.

You’re absolutely right that nobody is coming to save us. That means it’s up to us to save each other. It’s not too late.

Yes, because that’s obviously what I meant. You totally got the exact right thing out of what I wrote and didn’t read your own bullshit into it at all. You sure got me pegged.

Fucking toad.

Which is fucking terrifying and why I’ve (and others) been screaming that nobody is coming to save us, we have to save each other. Put down the identity stuff for now and rekindle the militant labor movements we used to have in this country. Withholding our labor is the only way out of this - they need us a lot more than we need them.

Most of the members of Congress are extremely wealthy, Republican and Democrat alike. They’re not doing anything about this coup consolidating capitalist class power because they stand to personally gain from it. They don’t have to pretend to not have the votes to stop yet another grab at working class wallets because they can point at Elon and say “we have no power here.”

There are certain people who never want to hear it, but very few national politicians give a shit about us, certainly not enough to make a difference. They’re in it for personal gain, everything else is performative.

Regex is a write only language.

Ding. Both major parties have abandoned the working class, and a whole lot of people have given up on the system as a whole. Give a real choice that has a chance and people will turn up. But that means the politics-as-sports folks need to hang up their team colors, and that’s only going to happen by spreading class consciousness. No war but class war.

Liberals are pro-capitalism, which is the ultimate mechanism for inequality.

“Neoliberalism” isn’t a pejorative, it’s a political philosophy that has dominated the Western world for about 50 years, though it has roots much further back. It is a philosophy embraced by both Republicans and Democrats. It’s about privatization of services, lowering taxes, and deregulating corporations. It’s why we have for profit healthcare in the US, for example.
