Henry Ford still underpaid people for their labor. That is the fundamental key to capitalism. Profit is surplus labor that capitalists steal from laborers.

Asking ChatGPT isn’t research.

Pampas grass is actually super invasive in certain areas (like all of California).

The idea of “weeds” is a colonialist construct.

If you want to be effective at changing the system, killing random ICE Nazis won’t do it. Everyone here is advocating peaceful protest, but that also won’t do it - or at least, not by itself.

Instead, consider direct action - sabotage of the means of production that prop up the fascist state.

Take a listen to Rev Left’s interview with Palestine Action to learn what I’m talking about: https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=Palestine+action

Isn’t the whole point of civilization to get away from the tyranny of men with sharp sticks? We can’t let the crimes of our ancestors justify modern crimes.

You know there are people out there who are actually getting off their couch and fighting?Active revolution isn’t for everyone, but you don’t have to keep normalizing laziness and cowardice. You can instead use your voice to encourage action.

No, I don’t give critical support to Israel because they are a settler colonial project who, along with the US and other Western powers, started all of the troubles in the Middle East in the first place.

No critical support for imperialists.

If I learned anything from the 2024 election it’s that we must unequivocally support the lesser evil. Since Israel attacked first (and is actively committing genocide), that means Iran is the lesser evil and therefore they are perfect and not supporting them means you support genocide. /s

4. Why is it ok for them to assassinate civilians?

Well according to the Democrats, I should always support the lesser of two evils, so now Iran is good. /s

For real though, it’s called critical support. You can support Iran’s right to defend against genocide while simultaneously criticizing their human rights abuses.

All I see are terrorists.

All I want is a party by and for the people.

Sounds like you’d be interested in Marxism then.

Fascism isn’t a stage of capitalism necessarily. It’s more of a tool that capitalists bring out whenever labor threatens to take back what’s ours. It’s always there, loitering in the background, silently threatening us to stay in line.

Absolutely, but many people do not have the time luxury to read dense theory books, and (good) podcasts can at least get people acquainted with the ideas.

Also, (and I’m putting words in your mouth, so sorry for that) I think it’s a fallacy to say that every comrade must be a theory scholar. Certainly our leaders and organizers should be, but I think it’s fine if people don’t have the academic inclination and want to contribute in other ways.

For all the people talking about Vaush and Hasan and their controversies, realize that there are other folks out there where you can learn about theory without the Twitch brainrot. The Revolutionary Left podcast is my personal favorite.

Socialism or barbarism, indeed.
