"Capital increasingly employs militarism for implementing a foreign and colonial policy to get hold of the means of production and labour power of non-capitalist countries and societies. This same militarism works in a like manner in the capitalist countries to divert purchasing power away from the non-capitalist strata. The representatives of simple commodity production and the working class are affected alike in this way. At their expense, the accumulation of capital is raised to the highest power, by robbing the one of their productive forces and by depressing the other’s standard of living. Needless to say, after a certain stage the conditions for the accumulation of capital both at home and abroad turn into their very opposite – they become conditions for the decline of capitalism.

The more ruthlessly capital sets about the destruction of non-capitalist strata, at home and in the outside world, the more it lowers the standard of living for the workers as a whole, the greater also is the change in the day-to-day history of capital. It becomes a string of political and social disasters and convulsions, and under these conditions, punctuated by periodical economic catastrophes or crises, accumulation can go on no longer."

This is such a common talking point that gets completely refuted by this study

This is how normalization of these things works. It slowly enters into everyday culture and, over time, makes you more susceptible to more exterme and overtly eugenic talking points.

Obligatory "No this doesn't mean that everyone who likes working out or wants to improve themselves is a right-winger" because I know some of yall have no media literacy whatsoever and will take the least charitable interpretation of what I intend to convey as if it's a fact and it's tiring.

Colonialism never ended.

"The imperial nation conceives of only two kinds of nations beyond its boundaries: satellites (or vassal states) and enemies (potential and actual). Among the satellites can be included 'allies,' those of lesser powers that remain friendly by staying more or less in line with the imperial transnational investment policies of large-scale capital accumulation. The satellite is a vassal state bonded to the imperium. Among the enemies (or 'potential' enemies) is any country that seeks to chart an independent and self-defining course, to use its land, natural resources, capital, labour, and markets for its own development and possibly for regional hegemony."

This is also why it's so easy for people who don't consume seemingly "apolitical" online content as critically as they probably should to get sucked into right-wing spaces.

Also a lot of the shows that are considered "left-wing" in this study are just liberal and therefore right-wing as well since any serious leftism starts at anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism. So the reality is even worse than what this study depicts.

Neurotypicality isn't some sort of mythical essence that some people have while others lack it.

"Only in community [with others has each] individual the means of cultivating his gifts in all directions; only in the community, therefore, is personal freedom possible. In the previous substitutes for the community, in the State, etc. personal freedom has existed only for the individuals who developed within the relationships of the ruling class, and only insofar as they were individuals of this class. The illusory community, in which individuals have up till now combined, always took on an independent existence in relation to them, and was at the same time, since it was the combination of one class over against another, not only a completely illusory community, but a new fetter as well. In a real community the individuals obtain their freedom in and through their association."

The idea that there are "too many people" and the belief that we need to "work harder and be more productive" in order to keep society functioning are probably two of the most harmful neoliberal myths.

[queercodedangel]

Less puritanism, more materialism. Puritanism hurts women, queer people and other marginalized groups by framing their desires and bodies as "wrong" and "dirty". Systems and industries of oppression are the problem.

[queercodedangel]

As material conditions worsen and the contradictions of the liberal capitalist order intensify, this sort of reactionary rhetoric will continue to become more and more appealing to people. This is why it's more important than ever to help people develop proper class consciousness and a materialist analysis of the world.

"People who fail in the neoliberal achievement-society see themselves as responsible for their lot and feel shame instead of questioning society or the system. Herein lies the particular intelligence defining the neoliberal regime: no resistance to the system can emerge in the first place. In contrast, when allo-exploitation prevails, the exploited are still able to show solidarity and unite against those who exploit them. Such is the logic on which Marx’s idea of a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ is based. However, this vision presupposes that relations of repression and domination hold. Now, under the neoliberal regime of auto-exploitation, people are turning their aggression against themselves. This auto-aggressivity means that the exploited are not inclined to revolution so much as depression."

"The character of a bourgeois government isn’t determined by the personal character of its members, but by its organic function in bourgeois society. The government of the modern state is essentially an organisation of class domination, the regular functioning of which is one of the conditions of existence of the class state. With the entry of a socialist into the government, and class domination continuing to exist, the bourgeois government doesn’t transform itself into a socialist government, but a socialist transforms himself into a bourgeois minister."

"Do not allow yourselves to be deluded by the abstract word freedom. Whose freedom? It is not the freedom of one individual in relation to another, but the freedom of capital to crush the worker."
