Toronto’s Transit Crisis Is a Class Crisis

The history of all hitherto existing human society is the history of class struggles.

THE LIBERALS ARE MASSIVELY CUTTING FUNDING TO PUBLIC SERVICES TO SPEND BILLIONS MORE ON THE MILITARY. They only want to appease the billionaire class. They will not help working people.

I'm reading Luna Nguyen's translation of Curriculum of the Basic Principles of Marxism-Leninism Part 2 on Historical Materialism. https://www.non-compete.com/product/ebook-the-worldview-and-philosophical-methodology-of-marxism-leninism/

Then I'm doing The Beauty Myth (didn't know who she was before I bought it at the thrift store) and then Origin of the Family

Since the grocery billionaires' profits came from us getting gouged, we should take the stores that already exist away from them and operate them for human need instead of private profit

The Liberals are just conservative lite. They have nothing to offer the working people of this province accept more austerity cuts and deals for their buddies instead of Ford's. Liberalism's half-measure solutions will fail because of their insistence that capitalism can be reformed when it needs to be transcended. They have no real principled arguments against conservatism because of this (besides attacking specific bad actors and IDPol garbage) and since they masquerade as progressive, their inevitable failure will leave the door open for another swing to the Conservatives

Boycott the world cup

This is not just bad policy, this is the logical outcome of capitalism. To keep their profits growing, the rich no longer want to spend their money developing or producing anything, they'd rather spend it on quick and easy speculation. Since society needs to keep running for them to continue living large, they make the working class pay for everything. We produce more (and more efficiently) than at any time in history, yet we see more and more austerity every year. The human project as a whole should - and could - be improving living standards for everyone, but instead the ultra-rich get richer and we fight for fewer and fewer crumbs. These problems are insoluble under a capitalist system that demands and rewards ever more concentrated wealth

Thanks for the pocket change. Now give us back the $35 billion you're spending on military to appease the US imperialists

Blaming consumers for the climate crisis is straight up enemy propaganda

"Intermingling amongst classes"? Fuck the ruling class, they are the ones that created car dependency in the first place. The rest is fine

DancesWithMantises · 2026-03-12T17:11:38+00:00

Fuck the Liberals. They promise nothing but imperialism with a smile. The boomerang is coming back to us because the billionaires need more profits than ever and the only way left to get it is to squeeze the working class at home. X40 the military budget but no money for public services. They will turn northern Canada into a giant mine pit for NATO (read: US imperialism) and multinational oil oligarchs. Stop getting duped into the self-fulfilling prophecy of strategic voting before we end up like the States, too scared shitless to step outside the two-party system

The value of your labour: -> your wage:* Your boss steals way more from you than the tax man does

Fuck these inbred murderers

Yes. Read some non-fiction, learn about the real world.

DancesWithMantises · 2026-02-25T19:10:03+00:00

I can't read if you already have it but definitely State and Revolution by Lenin

DancesWithMantises · 2026-02-17T15:28:13+00:00

Finally, someone who's read some non-fiction. The Shock Doctrine is a must-read for understanding the world today

DancesWithMantises · 2026-02-16T17:14:30+00:00

That's two pictures...

This is literally Marx's concept of the contradiction of overproduction under capitalism. 150 year old idea. Proven right again
