#KarlMarx is the most consequential #economist of the past two centuries, and his work as a #sociologist identified the struggle against #oppression as a key motor of history. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1883 he died in London. Meanwhile, the #RulingClass keeps adapting and lives on.
From Epstein to Bezos, the Ruling Class Is Rotten to the Core

Let this week be yet another reminder that plutocrats are a threat to democracy, not its saviors.

The author of this article, Daniel Richman, is part of the evil ruling class. The NYT is state media for the ruling class.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

Just now, when every one is bound, under pain of a decree in absence convicting them of lèse-respectability, to enter on some lucrative profession, and labour therein with something not far short of enthusiasm, a cry from the opposite party, who are content when they have enough, and like to look on and enjoy in the meanwhile, savours a little of bravado and gasconade. And yet this should not be. Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has as good a right to state its position as industry itself.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1877-07), “An Apology for Idlers,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 36

Did I share this yet? One of the best movies ever and a great glimpse into Christianity and excesses of the ruling class. It's rough and not for the timid, based on historical fact.

A quotation from George Orwell

One ought not to pay any attention to Hitler’s recent line of talk about being the friend of the poor man, the enemy of plutocracy, etc etc. Hitler’s real self is in Mein Kampf, and in his actions. He has never persecuted the rich, except when they were Jews or when they tried actively to oppose him. He stands for a centralised economy which robs the capitalist of most of his power but leaves the structure of society much as before. The State controls industry, but there are still rich and poor, masters and men. Therefore, as against genuine Socialism, the moneyed class have always been on his side. This was crystal clear at the time of the Spanish civil war, and clear again at the time when France surrendered. Hitler’s puppet government are not working men, but a gang of bankers, gaga generals and corrupt right-wing politicians.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-02-19), “The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius,” Part 2 “Shopkeepers at War,” sec. 3, The Searchlight Books [ed. Fyvel and Orwell]

I sometimes ask myself in which f***g snake pits those fascists survived the last - let's say - 80 years and how it came that they are now taking over the evil business their grandfathers left behind unfinished ... And then I remember that our societies were never cleansed from those fascist creatures of the dark. They were just shadow men and quite a few shadow women too I guess, who now dare to come out of their castles and mansions and whatever ... Let's put the spotlight back on them ... and call them what they are, f***g fascist nepo kids!
