History Grad. Geo-politics and Marxism rants. Ancom. Economic democracy for all! Professional food surplus womble for a charity. Welsh. Palestinian family in the WB. Autistic. Delicious but cis. I harvest wild memes and redistribute them to the masses
This page exists to promote the Marxist idea that those who own the properties of a society are the real rulers of that society, and that the only way to achieve both economic and political democracy - true socialist democracy - is to put those things in the hands of the ordinary people. (Thread)
Polls are saying that the Israeli opposition would win the election hands down if they would form a coalition with Palestinian parties.
Obviously they rule this out, because Israel is racist as shit.

Humanity invents machines to make work easier.
We can now produce more with less human labour than ever before.
Yet we're still expected to spend most of our lives working just to survive.
The problem isn't in the machines.
It's who owns them.

The Israelis have kicked 450 people out of their houses in Hebron as part of the election campaign, including 300 kids.
If you want to win an 'election' in a fascist state, you have to prove you are the biggest arsehole standing.
A house is somewhere to live.
Somewhere to raise children. Somewhere to feel safe. Somewhere to grow old.
We turned that basic human need into an investment asset, then acted surprised when millions couldn't afford one.
The housing market isn't failing investors.
It's failing humanity.
Israelis go to the polls in two days to choose between;
- Ultrazionist supremacists with a religious angle.
- Ultrazionist supremacists with a nationalist 'state first' angle.
Both are full supporters of the genocide, neither wants to see a Palestinian state.
The only real difference is that Netanyahu nationalist, less religious, opponents are arguing to stabilise the over stretched regime by making life more tolerable for Palestinians in the West Bank.
Gaza is totally f*cked either way.

We're told to work harder if we want a better life.
But when wages rise, rents rise. Bills rise. Prices rise.
And somehow the people who own the houses, businesses and assets keep getting richer.
You can't work your way out of a system designed to take back everything you earn.
If the economy grows but you can't afford a home, who benefited?
If productivity rises but you work longer hours, who benefited?
If corporations make record profits but you can't afford food, who benefited?
The owning class is robbing us all blind.
Marx said capitalism would inevitably consume itself, and when the head nation of the capitalist empire starts turning its own majority into an impoverished underclass that we would have called 'third world' in the past...
Well, yeah.
Read the bearded man.

Why TF do streaming companies think playing the sad ad at you 400 FUCKING TIMES is a good idea? Do they think its going to make you want to watch whatever it is, rather than hating it in the very depth of your soul?!?!?!?
Mix it up a bit, ffs!

Inflation is rising again.
Millions are struggling with bills, food and housing.
Meanwhile Barclays has just announced £2.3 BILLION in quarterly profits and another £500 million share buyback.
Apparently there's plenty of money in the economy.
It's just flowing in the wrong fucking direction.
'Trilateral' peace talks between the US, Russia and Ukraine.
Not mediated by the US; the US as a participant in the talks.
It's a crucial difference.
This war was never between Russia and Ukraine. It was between the US and Russia, fighting over - and in - Ukraine (with the EU paying the bill.)
Ukraine will be partitioned at the end of this, as it was always going to be, and history shows that it is very hard to tell which half will be exploited more.
Eastern and Southern Ukraine will either be a Russian strategic proxy or annexed entirely...
...and the bulk of Western Ukraine will be a US resource colony like Venezuela, permanently crippled by vast debts that it accrued buying US weapons.
NO ONE in this war was fighting for Ukraine apart from the forced conscripts.
Good luck fitting that into one of the two bullshit narratives.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations.
Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

Forcing a mother to live in a damp flat where her children get asthma is violent.
Blaming migrants for all of capitalisms ills is violent.
Paying minimum wage to a manual worker who has to physically destroy their health for other peoples profit is violent.
Smashing a police car is not.

French history is as imperialist as British history.
But at least they have the dignity to stand up for themselves.
Got to love the French "burn it down" instinct.
There's a US ambassador on AJ arguing that if over 100 historical Jewish, Christian and Muslim prophets couldn't bring peace to the region, how is the US expected to?
Does he know he sounds like a mad, blithering child with a deranged world view? Such talk just sounds surreal outside the US.
People suffer systemic violence their whole lives;
Manufactured poverty, over-exploitation, disposession, class prejudice, racism, sexism...
When they eventually set fire to something - or climb a ghetto wall - suddenly everyone wants to talk about violence, as if theirs was the first shot fired.

UK, US & EU workers are struggling.
South American workers are struggling.
Asian workers are struggling.
Across the world, people work harder, pay more and get less.
Meanwhile, the world's wealthiest people grow richer.
Different countries. Different governments.
Same fucking economic system.

Rather than spend the last few decades converting the power sources of civilisation from apocalyptic to renewable, the capitalist class has kept doubling down on oil.
It is now fighting multiple wars over that oil worldwide, destroying our collective wealth for its own profit.

Village of Al Ma'ani in Gaza, 2023, 2024, 2026
You can see the systematic demolition of every house and tree gradually moving in from the East.
This WAS NOT a result of fighting.
Don't stop talking about the genocide.
