  • The bourgeoisie reinforce their ideals through various means, primarily through silencing and systematically dismantling any proletarians ideals.

    Another means is through the intelligentsia, which is an extension of the bourgeoisie class that holds academic pull. Think of the capitalist economists whose solution to a capitalist crisis is more capitalism. But yet these individuals are given a platform and allowed to perpetuate a failing system because they have degrees from institutions funded by capitalists and run for profits.

    The culmination of all these factors leads to our present reality, where the idea of suggesting that shareholders take less profits for a while so the conditions of the workers can stabilize is such an alien and foreign concept that you’ll be laughed at for even suggesting it, because profits take precedence over everything. Even thinking of profits as something that can be regulated is seen as a grave sin.

    That’s how the bourgeoisie ideals permeate society. Even the workers don’t question it. That’s how the ideas of the ruling class become the ideas of the society at large.

    I’ve long believed this also ties in some way to Gramsci’s cultural hegemony, where the ideas of the ruling class of the imperial hegemon also permeate it’s vassal states / neo colonies. It’s why this idea of American individualism is so pervasive in so much of the third world.


  • Aight I’ll be honest with you, I’m in a similar mental state as you, and here’s the thing. Every life is precious, I know that sounds stupid, but every life is precious. In all the vast universe, there isn’t another you. Yeah shit sucks right now. But I always think about our comrades from the past who had it worse, and still fought on, because someone has to. And I think about our comrades from the future, that will fight on because they’ll think of us. We, too, must pitch in the liberation of the workers.

    Sometimes you gotta kick back and take a breather. Let yourself calm down and acknowledge that you’re worthy of life simply because you’re alive.






  • I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I come from a small farmers family in a third world country. My parents’ generation moved away from farming into teaching and other essential industries for stability. But looking at how things are, I asked my father if we should consider starting farming again. He said given the erratic climate patterns that have been forming lately, tons of farming families we know have endured massive losses because of crop failures.

    Things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better
