@hellomiakoda You may get your wish. The border might just be a trench. -

Quick public announcement: I am, and always have been, about left unity in the west. We are nowhere close to the point in revolution in which factionalism makes a lick of difference. The only problem you and I are going to have is if you have a problem with me. Like, imagine thinking that less than 1% of the population is some sort of threat that you'll talk about in the same breath as ongoing fascism — whose right hand is all you're being right now. Congrats on running offence for the enemy.
So if you're going to be jerking off on your timeline about how evil "tankies" are with your dipshitted libertarian friends who've likewise never opened a book in their entire lives, I'm just going to unfollow you.

Pacifism is the single most important value late capitalism-come-fascism teaches its working class. It's in every schoolroom, every cartoon, every superhero comic, every news broadcast: If someone does harm to someone else, or someone else's property, even if it's for the right reasons, they're automatically in the wrong. This way, even if you gain class consciousness, even if you surpass their shitty education, even if you organize, even if you discover that you're in the majority and it's time for a racist, authoritarian, bourgeois state to finally come to an end, you will never fight for it. You'll vote them out, you'll be a "white flag warrior", you'll idolize the myths you were told about Gandhi and Mother Theresa, and even as a member of the miserable masses, you will assure the evil empire not to worry, that you aren't a threat. -

@hellomiakoda It's a shame that the best we can hope for is that the pendulum swings back. When it does, we need to be sure we're prepared for next time there's an opportunity to make a lasting change through revolution. -

Not to be alarmist...well, maybe, but a #famine will be incoming for the United States. Famines under capitalism tend to take the form of "there's food, we promise, it just happens to be too expensive for you to afford", so...you've technically been under famine conditions for a little while, but it's about to get a whole lot worse. Your latest administration has completely slashed agricultural subsidies, drained a reservoir in California, and levied tariffs on the three countries it imports the most food from. This is a good time to remember that many revolutions are preceded by famines, and it's time for you to start preparing and start organizing with anyone you can, before you're starving — which, again, I'm sorry to say, it's going to happen.
Talk openly about it; this is the time you can do it safely, and that window is going to be short. Find anyone, literally anyone, who is willing to talk back about the possibility of organizing together. It can be as simple as a mutual aid group, to try to afford bulk food more cheaply together when this happens, but we here, the people of the imperialized world, your fellow workers, are hoping that you will do more, and fight to end both famine and fascism in your country once and for all, no matter what it takes.

@garbados "Job creation" is such a fucked up idea when you stop to think about it for more than a second. Everything we need is out there already being produced, it's just that people can't afford it — so we need to 'create' more artificial reasons for people to deserve to have those things that themselves are not scarce, thus producing even more of the things.
