Comrades, I am losing hope.

    The “eat the rich” slogan seems to have been fully co-opted by the capitalists, hasn’t it

      We should leave the metaphors and euphemisms behind and say it like it is: kill all capitalists, imperialists and reactionaries. Try to co-opt that, libs.

    Don’t lose hope, things here in America et. al. must and will continue to get much more grotesquely worse before things can ever get better. All of the devious tricks of our particularly abominable expression of capitalism must be exhausted before the people are ready to do what is necessary.

    Most of the rest of the world is leaps and bounds ahead of us, and as the capitalist hegemony gets kettled into a smaller and smaller sphere of influence, its power will only continue to wane until it is a paper tiger.

    Things might get ugly here over the next few decades but this was inevitable no matter what direction human history went. The difference is now that after the dust settles we as a human species very likely can have a bright future ahead of us. If we can weather the challenges ahead then it will be more than worth it in the end.
