Immediately After the 1973 Chilean Coup, US Socialists Supported Those Fighting for Freedom https://jacobin.com/2023/09/chile-coup-allende-dsco-nam-democratic-socialists-america-aoc/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #socialism

Will It Be #Socialism or Barbarism for the Twenty-First Century?

fewer than half of Americans believe that the US is a #democracy.

The reasons are 1) corruption (73%), followed by 2) corporate control of the political system (72%). In other words, the reasons for this missing democracy are economic.

Illuminating the depravity of late-stage capitalism is a fools errand without alternatives. The US— Left, Right, and Center, is beholden to the logic of #capitalism

How do I as an autistic trans woman with crippling social anxiety and limited access to transportation advocate for and spread anticapitalist thought in my local community? (Or just throughout the country (US in my case, good luck we need it)) I'm seriously asking for advice here, paleontology is my forte, not this. #anticapitalism #anarchism #socialism #communism #localgovernment

Started chapter 15 of Marx's Capital today: Machinery & Large-Scale Industry

Under capitalism, machines are not designed to lighten the burden for workers.

The role of machines is to cheapen commodities.

Cheaper commodities means more surplus-value for the capitalist.

By the time Marx was writing, machines were an established feature of the world, pre-existing and "objective." The nature & value of work had already been redefined by the machine age
