    “We are entering an era of severe currency crises, capital controls, and the weaponisation of the legal infrastructure to execute the final looting of the public and private citizen alike. The legal and financial architecture is being re-engineered behind the scenes. Under the guise of securing ‘systemic stability,’ the collateral of ordinary individuals, pension funds, and public assets is being positioned to be absorbed by the clearing houses of the financial elite when the debt and derivative bubbles burst. This is the logical endpoint of a system that has moved from the ‘too big to fail’ bailouts to architectural re-engineering”

  2. If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?

    For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric.

  3. 'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.

    'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

  4. The Lover of Che and Marx

    Samudrala Avinash Rahul Vamshi Krishna
    What a long name. Does not sound at all
    Like the name of someone
    Who belongs to the proletariat
    Their names will be Pullaiah and Yellaiah
    Yours sounds far too sophisticated
    As sophisticated as your accent, almost like a Brit
    You say you have bruxism and what not
    But your accent lives on, on and on...
    Making people give you a second hearing
    While at 62 I am searching for my second wind...

    And your gonads have not yet started firing
    Were you crazy then to be stopping by
    Sundarayya Vignana Kendram in Bagh Lingampally
    Where that Reddy girl taking courses in statistics
    Was getting distracted by you, but you were never by her
    And you stuck to your guns, pretty appropriate metaphor
    Since Marx and Guevara interested you so much
    No skirt or some peculiar shade of lipstick
    Could hold your attention for long...

    Being a Naxalite appealed to you as your svadharma
    Long, long ago, and when I discovered you
    You were the more sauve urban naxal, so I blocked you
    Lest I the guy interested more in Maharshi than Marx
    Be picked up at midnight, because the smokin' gun
    Of Marxian literature was plenty on my bookshelf
    I who believed that the stream of truth flows
    From all sources and not just from some blokes
    Doing something somewhere in the Himalayas.

    Then, you texted me after a long while, saying
    You were now more moderate in your views
    Kind of a rare conversion, maybe Rosa Luxemborg
    Started appealing to you more than Lenin
    And that writer of The Motorcycle Diaries
    Though Che never left your bedside and your dreams.

    Nowadays, you are more into studying material girls
    Rather than dialectical materialism, so tell me
    Where in your heart have you created a cemetery
    Where you have interred Marx though not Che.

    But, my dear chum, or should I call you comrade
    Listen to me dyed in the whispers down the centuries
    Not only of the topography including the Himalayas
    But also including Thames, Seine, and Black Forest
    Marx was good as far as what he wanted man to be
    But in what man was now in the present
    He misread him so badly that his idealism
    Was bound to come a cropper, though not before
    Bloody revolutions meted out the karma
    To all those people who erred in their previous lives
    When they took birth long before Marx was born
    Including maybe the likes of Alexander Solzhenistyn
    For karma is backed by God, not some floundering startup
    Ah, it satisfies me so much to end with this imagery
    From Capitalism, and make Marx stir in his grave
    And rethink his philosophy at least when he is reborn
    And become an opium addict to discover newer realities.

  5. Hype for the Future 68B: List of Capitalist Constructs

    Overview The vast majority of symptoms of modern capitalist and hyper-capitalist societies are indeed capitalist constructs, including the following coercive outcomes: Deadlines Procrastination Laziness Safety (Normativity) Heteronormativity Wage Labor Wage Slavery Commodification Privatization Individualism (especially hyper-individualism) Inflation Paychecks Pay cuts Pay raises Ageism (ranking individuals by seniority) Corporations “Solutions” have become fake and […]

  6. Just saw a '"Death to the IDF" is counter revolutionary' post.

    The piece makes the Palestinian resistance into Iran proxies and completely ignores how Israeli workers PROFIT from the Israeli subjugation of Palestinian workers, and how American workers BETRAYED Palestinian workers. (I've a YT on that one, and here it is: youtube.com/watch?v=R6zDvSacg1)

    The liberation of Palestine has always been a part of the class war, and people who share this now, after watching 20 months of Israeli workers gleefully genociding Palestinian workers and 77 years of colonisation of Palestinian workers by Israeli workers, show mostly their arm chair Whiteness ideas about liberation, IMNSHO.

    FFS, just read the letter of Césaire on why he left the French Communist Party.

    SORRY FOR THE EDITS, BUT THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF.

  7. We have posted a slightly updated version of our flier "University of Alaska workers, prepare to strike! Let's impose our will on the bosses!"

    If you are in #Alaska please print out a copy or two and put them out!

    This gets the word out, but just as importantly it helps confuse the bosses about the locations of our militants!

    Share it even if you don't agree in full. This is an elementary act of solidarity!
