Fated

Star-crossed lovers were never meant to be Lost and recovered Trying to avoid destiny The threads of fate Twisted and weaved All to uphold The patriarchy Men and might Fancy and flight Ages forgotten When we ran free Like wolves Unpacked and wild Spirit as light as a child’s But then makers and creators Fakers and haters Wanna keep their bloodlines Stuck backwards in time With a…

False Consciousness

Some clarifications are needed on the state of false consciousness in the United States that precludes it from revolutionary potential. First off, while most of the population of the United States technically belongs to the working class, many of that class are extremely privileged on an international scale. Therefore, despite their relations to the means of production, they do not necessarily…

Teenage Wasteland

The capitalists are okay with leaving us with a desolate wasteland for a planet. Since they will not take climate change seriously, our future looks bleak sooner many than most imagine it to be. In fact, the consequences of their inaction will be sealed for good within a decade. It is absurd and would be laughable if not given the grave nature of the situation that those of us most alarmed by…

Climate Disaster

Spending the next 50 years as wage slaves to the same corporations that will have irreparably damaged the planet by that time is an unfathomable existence. The IPCC climate report has set 2030 as the emissions reduction deadline to avoid this irreparable damage, but none of climate change’s biggest contributors have shown interest in the past 20 years and we are a decade away from failure. We are…

Should I Vote?

American democracy is broken. This system relies upon voters’ gut instincts and disregards facts due to oversaturation of advertising, broken promises from politicians in office, and a general ignorance of how the system works. The education system could be used to give voters a foundation. But instead, people get defensive in front of strangers who want them to vote. The campaigns spend a…

Voter Turnout

Late stage capitalism in the United States has a decidedly ominous character for the overdeveloped nations soon to continue along the same path. The nation’s government, through rigid adherence to its archaic system of governance and written laws, has been transformed into an oligarchy. Only half of its 240 million eligible voters regularly turn out. The rest don’t vote because they know their…

Narcissism

“Americans in general,” have been identified by a series of studies “as meeting criteria for pathological narcissism as articulated in the DSM-5.” This is a result of their bourgeois economic conditions, and is yet another reason to strategize over the marginal capacity for American class struggle. These conditions lead to an overwhelmingly powerful Fourth Estate that simultaneously pacifies and…

Indoctrination

Children are growing up inundated with capitalist propaganda designed to convert them into consumers. With the advent of the information age, children are constantly exposed to the ideas of the capitalist class. Through mediums like YouTube and TikTok, which sponsor video content akin to the previous tool of capitalist propaganda, the television, children are fed false realities to inspire their…

New Class Struggle

The American experiment has failed. Not the antiquated institutions that sustain its power, but rather the hope that change can be achieved through these flawed institutions. America is a nation with a pervasive false class consciousness. The working class has been so effectively inculcated with bourgeois cultural hegemony that its revolutionary potential is absolutely nullified. Bourgeois…

America First

America’s ‘me first’ attitude is perpetuated by the flow of global capital. When Frantz Fanon concludes at the end of The Wretched of the Earth that “America became a monster, in which the taints, the sickness and the inhumanity of Europe have grown to appalling dimensions” he was being prophetic. The monster continues to grow, to perpetuate itself, until we ally ourselves against it. Observers…

Class Struggle The American experiment has failed. Not the antiquated institutions that sustain its power, but rather those who believe change can be achieved from underneath these flawed institutions.

Critical Association

Critical association is an educational method aimed at reformist movements in order to bring them into the folds of the proletarian movement. It entails conditioning learning associations for members of a population to form associative memories in regards to their material economic conditions.

Both the causes of their material conditions and the alternatives proposed are highly relevant here.…

Revolutionary Potential

For many years, I thought that Latin America was destined to throw off the chains of imperialism and pave the path for the campesino to have the same privileges as the rich and powerful. A promising start to the 19th century in fact did little for the indigenous who watched the invaders change hands. The 20th century began in a similar fashion, but the United States had a heavy hand in ensuring…

International Proletariat It must be acknowledged that although the working class, by definition, includes all of those who don’t own the means of production, their material conditions are relative and vary greatly.

Shithole Countries It’s ironic that none of the nations that most expansively practiced imperialism for over 400 years rank amongst the…

Did Communism Fail?

There is a falsely held belief that communism and socialism has failed. What such detractors fail to acknowledge is that having a handful of extremely rich and extraordinarily powerful own the equivalent of 3.5 billion people who live without meeting basic human needs.

That half the world experiences artificial food and water shortages when modern technology enables us to provide for everyone…

Is Capitalism really the best?

Is Capitalism really the best?

If capitalism is so effective, why have there been so many oversight measures introduced by governments to keep it in check? Advertisers, for example, run the television industry. How many ads for pharmaceutical industry have you seen today? The media is colloquially known as the fourth estate because of its collusion with government that today benefits solely corporate sponsors such as these. The…
