From the river to the sea

Palestine must be free

Capitalist society is socially isolating by design. To take back our autonomy we have to collectively organize in our local communities

Borders must be abolished to sustain the capacity for life to exist, not to aid in the continuation of capitalism. Capitalism is a reactionary death cult maintained by hyper-exploitating all forms of life.

I recommmend analyzing the strategies of the so-called New Left during the 1960s-70s. Their ability to disrupt the status-quo and bring attention to the State's death machine can't be understated. For a starting point - check out the direct action tactics used by the Weather Underground.

One of the ways the state maintains capitalism & white hegemony is through information warfare. The US state has the largest and most advanced propaganda apparatus on the planet. Revolutionary left wing tendencies do not exist for long in the status-quo. This is by design. Ignorance to left wing prefigured politics maintains the status-quo's legitimacy. The state is incredibly effective at coopting narratives to reform its image.

Capitalism is socially isolating by design. The potential for the people to organize is revolutionary. Capitalists do not want a social revolution originating from the bottom rings of the social hierarchy

Personal property and private property are important distinctions. Personal property is established and maintained autonomously through social connections, while private property is maintained thru coercive systems and institutions (an invention from capitalism).

The threat of starvation and coercive violence are the main factors incentivizing people to work under capitalism.

Legitimizing capitalism will not free us from our material conditions

A rat done bit my sister Nell

With whitey on the moon

Her face and arms began to swell

And whitey's on the moon

I can't pay no doctor bills

But whitey's on the moon

Ten years from now I'll be payin' still

While whitey's on the moon

The man just upped my rent last night

Cause whitey's on the moon

No hot water, no toilets, no lights

But whitey's on the moon

I wonder why he's upping me?

Cause whitey's on the moon?

Well I was already giving him fifty a week

With whitey on the moon

Taxes taking my whole damn check

Junkies making me a nervous wreck

The price of food is going up

And as if all that shit wasn't enough:

A rat done bit my sister Nell

With whitey on the moon

Her face and arm began to swell

And whitey's on the moon

Was all that money I made last year

For whitey on the moon?

How come I ain't got no money here?

Hmm! Whitey's on the moon

Y'know I just 'bout had my fill

Of whitey on the moon

I think I'll send these doctor bills

Airmail special

To whitey on the moon

We are in a parasitic relationship with capitalism. Capitalism constantly extracts from life and the environment. When life begin to limit captialism, capitalism will go to great ends to remove life. Capitalism is not sustainable, nor is it naturally occurring. Abolish this evil system.

Both mainstream political parties in the US state are fascist in their relationship to capital and empire. We need our own organizations separate from the state that meet our needs and cannot be bought out.

Landlords exploit property for profit. They hold all power over the tenant.

We need to create organizations in our communities to take power back into our hands.

Abolish private property!
