One time I asked my coworker what she was reading off her e-reader and she said she didn’t know because she set her ereader to roll into a new book immediately after finishing the previous one and she can no longer tell where one book ends and another begins.
Despite my repeated editorials calling for a mass working class socialist party, the US left still doesn't have one. We should fix this by creating a mass socialist working class party. Read my latest editorial for more.
I've designed an app called Laundr that takes 1% of every purchase you make and saves it to donate to insurgent groups in the global south. If you don't download it you're a fascist.
lmfao this is so wild lincoln asked garibaldi to run the union army, garibaldi agreed under the condition that lincoln declare the abolition of slavery the goal of the war, and lincoln refused
If I could pull a big lever that would kill Shinzo Abe instantly I wouldn't do it because it'd distract the working class from the real prime minister of japan: the value-form.
I love it when commies turn their little hobbies into the secret to destroying capitalism: gardening, walking around cities, book clubs, Model UN, racism. its so cute im glad theres things that bring them joy.
Proud to announce that my essay I've been working on since 2014 is finally being published today, December 2024! Hope you all find it timely and groundbreaking!
Accidentally mentioning that I'm a communizer in public and frantically having to explain to everyone that I'm not a pedophile, racist, French, Zionist, a police informant, French, or a tenured professor.
Tragically, the writers of this piece recently perished after their comically large collection of “The Turner Diaries” toppled over, killing them instantly.
In Texas, National Guard members faced painful cuts and absurd assignments by Republican governor Greg Abbott. So they did what many exploited workers before them have done: they organized a union.
WHAT DID MARX MEAN BY "LABOR VOUCHERS?" A THREAD 👇
marx envisioned labor vouchers as a sort of octagonal coin. laborers would be awarded one for every hour spent digging pits or turning cogs, and could then use them to purchase treats, like stale bread or stuffed animals 1/?
Can’t agree more with your post. It would be truly crazy if joe Biden said read settlers. Unfortunately I did a quick scan of your tweets and found you were commenting “inshallah” under posts about Bernie sanders winning the 2020 election.
Being a left wing pop intellectual must be so cool. You get to go on Democracy Now and say stuff like “football… it’s all about controlling the working class” or “football… there’s no capitalism on the football field” and you don’t have to wake up early to go to work tomorrow
it’s interesting to hear opinions from people who aren’t terminally online vs those who are
those who aren’t really do seem to just parrot whatever NYT / Fox / MSNBC / NPR tells them to think
those who are, like me, are crazy in the first place

It must be said though, if youre to build a shape-themed city, a line, or well, a rectangle, has got to be one of the least interesting shapes to choose from. Total lack of imagination.
Gotta love the Fredric Jameson style diagram: a couple arrows connecting several sentences of text. Thanks for putting that in a picture brother, clears everything up.
[2007] its actually quite like 1848 again
[2014] its actually quite like 1848 again
[2020] its actually quite like 1848 again
[2023] its actually quite like 1848 again
lol. nice super bowl bet bro. as a committed Marxist I have a six way parlay on the aftermath of the election in Pakistan (its aleatory), a tornado in Australia (overdetermined), the profit rates of three AI companies (all aleatory), and the contradictions (heightening). but gl.
Althusser is so funny for saying a bunch of shit is “determined in the last instance” and then clarifying that the last instance never comes. That’s why he’s the best.
Been thinking about this one a lot lately. Beautiful format, passing along the insights of an anonymous artist friend. There’s a lot to be done with this.
It’s crazy how 2024 is a carbon copy of 1366. If you don’t know what I’m talking about do material analysis + read a book + kill yourself + maybe leave your house for once in your goddamn life?
The plan? Make a living off writing editorials calling for DSA members to create a mass working class socialist party, the one bloc completely incapable of ever doing so.
My mom loves texting me 2 year old Mike Davis articles with the caption “Wow. Shades of Gramsci in this one.” So I think I’ll be fine if twitter goes down.
Frantz Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth" captures the revolutionary possibilities of decolonization. Yet the book has been marred by a misreading that ignores Fanon’s socialism and class analysis, and turns the great thinker into a prophet of violence.
Many so-called leftists will suddenly turn into conservatives the moment you mention mud pits, giant cogs, primitive fires, wizard towers, geoengineering, slow roasting elves, or any number of other orc technologies.
the exchange rate between labor vouchers and various prizes and treats would be calculated through an extensive system of cockshottian equations. due to widespread illiteracy, said calculation would be carried out by the highest scoring child in each villages yearly math exam 2/?
I have a fleet of beggars who use a mix of bird calls and light signals to communicate Elon's exact location to me. He's currently pacing around Secret Honor style behind a closed taco bell with a Mikes Hard Lemonade and a gun.
However, technological advancements have left Marx's archaic and fantastical "Labor Voucher" scheme in the dustbin of history. Today, leading communist theoreticians hypothesize future societies will use something called "OrcCoin" instead. 3/3
x files episodes switch between "the government is run by child abusing aliens" and "the government doesnt want you to know that the weird guy in the forest has a big heart"
go to any open mic comedy night in austin and youre guaranteed to get at least three jokes that go something like "gee golly as a 35 year old man i love having illegal sex with minors"
Now that I’m unemployed I can feel my species-being rushing back into me. I’m starting to develop true moral virtues again. And honestly? All that stuff’s over hyped. Not that important to me
If you're an optimistic young communist, don't become an activist. Manage investment portfolios. Do high frequency trading. Earn to give. Work at dad's hedge fund. Malaria nets. Strategy consulting. Donate 10% of your income to arm low level insurgencies in the global south.
Don't like when kids get into Marxism. They're supposed to receive minimal combat training and a few Mao quotations before being sent off as low cost swarm units.
crazy to remember that all of the batshit MLs on this site have families. Imagine being TechnoStalin☭🇨🇳’s mom. Imagine having to call your son asking why the money you sent him was Venmod to “egirl of the revolution” with the message attached “I just want to see your feet again”
