We believe in magic or aliens before we believe that labor is the only source of new value in society.

One foot still in birdsite and another in Mastodon.
I tend to post things about #antiCapitalism, #antiColonialism, #antiRacism, #antiSexism, #LGBTQ and so forth. Lefty leftist spreading leftism.
As a proletariat, I am also interested in the development of our human world through #science and #technology. And the development of the human spirit through #humanism and #religion.

Not long ago, our species was not on the top. There were lions and other courageous predators that stood above us. We were still scared monkies always thinking somebody was behind us going to eat us.
Through the miracle of language and cooperation, we rose to the top far faster than we should have. Instead of being courageous dominatrs, we are scared dominators. And that fear is what makes us the most dangerous species to ever have existed.
It's not so much that people don't want to work anymore, it's that people don't want to work under harsh conditions anymore. Workers are being less masochistic. That's a good thing.
Most countries are democratic. And most countries are wealthy. The critical questions are democratic for WHO? And wealthy for WHO?
If everything feels like its falling apart, it probably because it is but the for the people in charge, it's highly likely that everything's going very, very well.
I guess we got just five more years of falling apart and then the world can finally get on with making a better future for itself.

From #Lenin 's "The State and Revolution".
The state is there to mediate between classes as best it can. So long as it is successful at doing so, the class system can remain functional. When it falters at it's job, things get violent, and revolution becomes possible.
