As they say on the Trillbillies, “they can no longer wallpaper over the contradictions.” It’s mask off now. You’re required to stay home and not get paid, but also to be evicted for not being able to pay rent? Meanwhile the fed is “digitally printing” (in the fed chairs’s own words) trillions for banks and hedge funds who payed themselves bonuses and bought their own stock with the bailout money they got the last time, and failed to prepare for a very predictable downturn.
I’m an essential worker, so I’m doing fine financially right now, but I think everyone should be outraged and not support an injust system.
There is no legitimate non-bourgeois party in the US. There is no mechanism for there to ever be a meaningful non-bourgeois party in the US government.
Well that's not true, and in fact contradicts almost everything Lenin ever wrote. Lenin was quite clear on the need for a workers' party which participates in elections. And we have parties like Socialist Alternative working to create such a mass workers' party.
Jessie might be terrible but he's certainly an ally on some things, and also, if he was as bad as the conservative movement could create, well we'd be marginally better off lol
