Sheesh. What is it with AmeriKKKa with all of these recent shootings. Land of the ‘free’ boys… The so Called ‘Land of the free’ is having a normal one.

    The shootings are very likely a direct result of the crisis of capitalism and a disorganized working class. People understand something is wrong, that shit sucks and only gets worse if they’re not among the silver spoonfed. But the proletariat has no organisation. They’re don’t know what they’re raging against. So they lash against in the only way they have been taught to - through individual acts of absurd violence. Even if USA didn’t have widespread access to firearms, such events would still be happening - just look up school stabbings in Russia in the recent years.

      It’s not just that; these dudes are lumpenproletarians who get siphoned off the fascist camp because that’s an ideology that makes them feel…unemasculated. Like, why do you think these things happen at public schools and Black churches instead of VIP golf clubs or whatever? TLDR these actions are not “proletarian vengeance” in nature, it’s like a slave bludgeoning another slave after getting whipped by their master

        I’d imagine VIP clubs have better security, although I get your point. And you are right. But I think you misunderstood me, however.

        That’s exactly what I am talking about. We are dealing with a slave that’s been led to believe they’re not one, despite acknowledging it quietly to themselves. But they have no Marxist theory, they are taught that’s how things always have been and nothing better is possible. So yes, they do “bludgeon another slave” - because that’s the only form of “rebellion” they know and understand.

        Far it be for me to defend school shooters or the like, since many of them are acting out some disgusting Nazi-based ideology. I am simply suggesting we look at the issue in all of its complexity.
