The #fascists always had better #propaganda. Unfortunately, it's easier to divide people by arbitrary things like #race & #gender than by class. This plays right into the hands of the #rulingclass who want nothing more than to divide us.
"Never has libertarian ruling-class theory been put more clearly or forcefully than in the words of (James) Mill: there are two classes, Mill declared, ‘The first class, those who plunder, are the small number. They are the ruling Few. The second class, those who are plundered, are the great number. They are the subject Many’." https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought #aphet #jamesmill #libertarianism #rulingclass #economics #rothbard #politics

"On Saturday, March 22, several hundred protesters held a joint rally of international solidarity on opposite sides of the US/Canada border. Crowds gathered in Hart Plaza in Detroit and at the Riverfront in Windsor, visible to each other across the Detroit River. The sentiments of the protesters was a sharp rebuke to the poisonous nationalism being promoted by the ruling classes in both countries."

Despite making up only 10% of the country’s population, the #Alawites exerted outsized influence during the #Assad family’s >50-yr rule. The Alawites, who practice an offshoot of #Shiite Islam, dominated the #RulingClass & upper ranks of the #military under Assad.
The new govt called on all members of Assad’s forces to relinquish their ties to the fmr govt & surrender their weapons at “reconciliation centers.” While thousands have taken part in that process, some…have not.
For over 40 years the #rulingclass has spent billions shifting the Overton Window towards fascism. To erase the Left they created #EvergreenModerates, told us other parties are idiots, AND cooperation is the only way. There are only #citizens #publicservants & #oligarchs. Who are they eliminating?
#Scotland: local council threatens to fire, hire employees for not agreeing with policies. #Union threatens to remove their grant funding by removing #FairWork status. Council "pauses" threat.

“Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.” - Tommy Douglas, Canadian hero
The actions of the #usa of late have again proven that rule of law is applicable only when they want to use it against the #workingclass. There was a felony conviction for #trump but he never had a punishment. If the law doesn't matter then why do people follow it.
I think it's time for the people to take matters in their own hands. #Luigi is one example. There's others out there. Mass strikes, mass organization. #eattherich workers outnumber the #rulingclass
Over a week in an if it's not clear to you that #Trump and many in his administration are just #rulingclass #elite #nationalist #fascist #WarCriminals, you are likely very #propagandized and #complicit.
#Socialism is #workingclass #solidarity all around the world.
#Abolish the #capitalist ruling class.
I came up with this acerbic ballad, "The Ruling Class," just before the David Lynch news broke. I'm definitely going to flesh this one out later in the year.
In his farewell address, #POTUS #Biden cautioned against the “concentration of #technology, #power & #wealth” & said that an #oligarchy is forming.
I see the world and communities in shambles and I have a crazy idea but hear me out.
#Abolish the #rulingclass and #billionaires !!!
We are living in a #capitalist #dystopia #hellscape because they make it so.
The future of the #NLRB: if #RulingClass guts #NLRA, workers and #unions may press for demands in streets, a venue where they have advantage

Labor Notes · Dark Clouds Gather at the National Labor Relations BoardDecember saw a number of important developments at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The month started well for unions but ended badly. Some observers complained of whiplash! THE GOOD On December 10, the five-member board, still under Democratic control, issued a long-awaited decision freeing unions from the most deleterious features of management-rights clauses. The case, Endurance Environmental Solutions, LLC, overruled MV Transportation, a 2019 decree from Donald Trump’s first term in office.
"The truth is that their ideology of greed requires them to want more, and more and more. And if that greed makes us sicker or shortens our lives, that’s the price they require us to pay." - Bernie Sanders on the #rulingclass
My opinion on #capitalism based on historical and current events.
Capitalism brings out the worst in humanity unlike #socialism that intends to provide everyone with basic human rights and stability.
A capitalist structure is incentive for the #rulingclass to be predatory to hoard more power and wealth at the expense of the #workingclass. This is the only way people become billionaires while there are so many in need.
This is why as socialist we ask for #solidarity in abolishing billionaires.
