The deadly intersection of labor exploitation and climate change

"The current design of our economic system privileges the well-being of only 1 percent of all humans. Whether it’s a deadly virus or the deadly climate, unless we clearly identify the systemic problems and redesign our economic system to center the well-being of all human beings, the future will not be livable, rendering discussions of “productivity” moot in the deadliest possible way."

#Space #SpaceExploration #Capitalism #ClassStruggle: "As grim as it all sounds, we are not defenseless against the space capitalists. We have our own weapons. First, much of what I have outlined is currently in violation of international treaties. This seems like a flimsy reassurance, given that treaties are violated constantly, but it does buy us time and provide opportunities for alliances. Capitalists will need to sort out the legal and political complications of space before they can weaponize or colonize it. Actors who might otherwise be hostile to many left goals on Earth have shared interests here, and the nightmare scenario I have outlined should be equally terrifying to them.

That said, pessimism and fearmongering can become numbing, and alarmism is a poor foundation on which to build a future, no matter how alarming the alternatives are. Instead, alongside attention to the dangers of capitalism in space, we can organize around a vision of space for the people. Even our brief forays into space have produced an incredible bounty in terms of research, and further experience and exploration holds the possibility of untold realms of knowledge with which we can improve the human condition. The vast resources of space, currently not owned by anyone, can be used to improve conditions on Earth. Why tear up soil full of life when we can tear into lifeless asteroids? And why should capitalists, who have only made it this far on the backs of workers and the state, be allowed to profit from this?"

@LeviKornelsen That almost makes me want to make a game where the character classes are "Proletariat", "Bourgeoisie", and "Aristrocracy".

Social mobility is achieved my multiclassing, but most GMs don't allow it because it's considered powergaming.

#ClassStruggle

Quick guide for French political debate:

If you think #racism exists, you're an "indigéniste."

If you think some suffer more from #discrimination because of their background, you're a "communautariste."

If you believe in this *and* the #classstruggle, you're an "Islamo-gauchiste."

Now, you're ready to play chess with a pigeon, sorry, to discuss with a french citizen that has been watching TV for the past 10 years.

Once upon a time, not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"

'Direct Action', by Émile Pouget
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emile-pouget-direct-action

"Direct Action... means that the working class, in constant rebellion against the existing state of affairs, expects nothing from outside people, powers or forces, but rather creates its own conditions of struggle and looks to itself for its means of action."

There's a better and more accurate way to frame this story - Republicans acting on behalf of the capitalist class stepped in to prevent cities from doing too much to help and support workers.

The primary support of the legislation was National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB). It argued local regulation poses an existential threat to #Texas businesses.

This isn't Dems VS GOP. It's capitalist vs workers. #Socialism #ClassStruggle

The #May1stActionNetwork march on Sunday with our comrades @lucyparsonscent @_mass_struggle #MassFeministStruggleCommittee #BrandeisLeftistUnion @baystatejbgc #JerichoBoston and #ProvidenceRevolutionaryStudyGroup was a blast despite the crappy weather. We showed the rain we couldn’t be bothered and met new comrades anyway.
“Working Women give them Hell! It is right to rebel!”
