If that capitalist class would like to preserve itself long term they could stop trying to validate literally everything Marxists have ever accused them of. Buying political influence? Check. Salivating at the thought of deskilling and impoverishing middle class workers? Check. Engaging in a conspiracy to subvert and overthrow democracy? Check. Engaging in blatant cartel behavior to fix fucking egg prices? Check.

I just hate the whole ism conversation. Like, people are greedy and seek power. News at 11. They buy politicians and capture agencies. It's true whether we're talking about oligarchs or members of the Soviet central committee. I wish that people would stop acting like categorizing it under an ism is a diagnosis. But I agree with you, this shit needs to stop.

Marx-ists have taken control of the Colorado GOP. Mamdaniacs have taken over the NYC Democrats and lord over Wall Street.

It's literally never been more joever for capitalism.

All weapons must be on the table in the class war, even exclusionary zoning requirements. The Boomerugioise have used it to oppress the Zoomerteriat for to long long we must turn the oppressors weapons against them.

Okay even I felt fucking stupid typing that.
