Good post! Fuck coop capitalism for sure.

To quote #Bordiga, "#Socialism resides entirely in the revolutionary negation of the capitalist ENTERPRISE, not in granting the enterprise to the factory workers."

Today in Labor History June 13, 1889: Amadeo Bordiga was born (d1970). Proponent of Council Communism and the Italian Communist Left, as well as a founder of the Italian Communist Party. He was a proponent of Council Communism and a major influence on the 20th century Ultra Left. He called Stalin "the gravedigger of the revolution." Bordiga was imprisoned twice by Mussolini. Lenin criticized him in his screed, "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder (1920).

Nicest thing ever said about me:

"like I've seen you work, and you're a professional human when you are working *with people you don't know* but like, if I hadn't seen you work, then I would've thought you were the most unprofessional person 😂."

I'm doing my part to wage the "A decisive struggle against professional specialization" that #Bordiga called for in the "The immediate program of the revolution."

The only problem with the January 6th insurrection was that it was an interclassist horde rallying to defend its particularly abhorrent vision of the capitalist state.

But let's be clear. Revolutionaries do not defend the state, its personnel, or its democratic processes:

"The communist party unleashes and wins the civil war, it occupies the key positions in a military and social sense, it multiplies its means of propaganda and agitation a thousand-fold through seizing buildings and public establishments. And without losing time and without procedural whims, it establishes the 'armed bodies of workers' of which Lenin spoke, the red guard, the revolutionary police. At the meetings of the Soviets, it wins over a majority to the slogan: 'All power to the Soviets!'. Is this majority a merely legal, or a coldly and plainly numerical fact? Not at all! Should anyone -- be he a spy or a well-intentioned but misled worker -- vote for the Soviet to renounce or compromise the power conquered thanks to the blood of the proletarian fighters, he will be kicked out by his comrades' rifle butts. And no one will waste time with counting him in the 'legal minority', that criminal hypocrisy which the revolution can do without and which the counterrevolution can only feed upon." - Bordiga, Proletarian Dictatorship and Class Party

Often, it's said that the rich fear democracy. Nah. See Musk's "Vox populi vox dei" or billionaires and corporations "getting out the vote."

#marx and Engels: "the ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas."

#bordiga: "Bourgeois electoral democracy seeks the consultation of the masses, for it knows that the response of the majority will always be favourable to the privileged class and will readily delegate to that class the right to govern and to perpetuate exploitation."
