BEWARE of common sense as it's what usually stops/prevent the brain to think the point over again, that's what makes the brain so lazy... Beware. Keep thinking and do not despair.
Maybe your hope/goal won't be attained during your lifetime yet human history is long (as you shown in another post).
That's why on top of your goals, what's of uttermost importance is transmission.
Best regards.
The working class is is not homogeneous. Don't paint us all with the same brush. It's deeply insulting. It's also factually incorrect.
Spreading misinformation is counter-productive. So are classist insults.
You can never convince anybody of anything if you start by insulting them.
As my grandma used to say, "You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar."
Just a suggestion.
They're not all mercenaries. A substantial portion of the grassroots fascist movement here is made up of misguided volunteers. They're not getting paid. In fact, it costs them.
But that's not the working class. That's just the working class fools. We're not all fools. If you want to condemn the fools, be specific. Also take note of their growing disillusionment with the Trump regime. It's only just begun.
Even fools resent being lied to. They were, and they're waking up to it. We should encourage them. Try starting with the things we agree with them. They're against foreign wars. We're against foreign wars. We're against being lied to. So are they. They hate the elites. We hate the elites. And so forth.
Don't just write them off because we disagree with them about Trump, or race, or whatever. He's screwed them over, too. That means we have common enemies. We choose our friends but history chooses our allies. We need allies. Everyone needs allies. Even them.
Yes, enemies can bury the hatchet and fight side by side. Consider for example the fight at Itter Castle:
It matters to the rest us. If we don't nip this fascist coup in the bud, *by any means necessary* we're the ones who are doomed. We can't do it alone.
Well that about sums him up better than anybody else around here. We know part of who he is. He's a or sale. Who all he's working for is a little harder to pin down. Some of them are obvious. Some not so much. Who's paying him to move against Putin about Ukraine all of a sudden, is what I want to know. It's like a WWE heel turn, a big one. WTF is going on here? Is it real? Is it theater? It's getting hard to be sure *anything* is real anymore. Maybe that's the whole point.
sorry, it's the use of -capital-that makes it capitalism. And that involves using a bunch of accumulated money/resources to buy the means of production in order to produce at scale.
Unlike mercantile systems of tradeโฆwhere competition can help keep exchanges fairish,
producing at scale is mostly done with the intent to maximize PROFIT (gain above and beyond fair value- so exploitative by nature) and to decrease the number of competitiors.
misanthropy is cynicism, and cynicism is acceptance. so no
Capitalism is working as intended. That's why rejecting it and forming communities that help each other scares them so badly, because once you do that you realise just how much of a drain on humanity the rich are.
