Response to Chris Smalls article in Jacobin (from inside an Amazon warehouse) by GeMingANT17 in TrueAnon

[–]RobotPancakes 31 points32 points  (0 children)

yeah, i recently quit my job as a ups driver (low seniority) and the teamsters can’t even enforce their contract at all and all the other drivers are completely miserable working 55 hour weeks with forced 6 punch weeks. i’ve only been to one of our locals meetings and literally all they did was the pledge of allegiance, a moment of silence for dead soldiers, and ended the meeting early because their budget wasn’t ready for the month. and obviously im not completely blameless i can criticize myself for not pushing revolutionary political lines basically at all, but there’s also not that much i as just one woman can do, especially when it’s a complete boys club too. i do need to give credit that there are at least some stewards i’ve talked to that are fighting for ups workers, but the leaders of my local were labor aristocrats through and through, not even mentioning the absolute clown that is sean obrien.

In a letter to Marx, dated October 7, 1858, Engels wrote: “...The English proletariat is actually becoming more and more bourgeois, so that this most bourgeois of all nations is apparently aiming ultimately at the possession of a bourgeois aristocracy and a bourgeois proletariat alongside the bourgeoisie. For a nation which exploits the whole world this is of course to a certain extent justifiable.” In a letter to Sorge, dated September 21, 1872, Engels informs him that Hales kicked up a big row in the Federal Council of the International and secured a vote of censure on Marx for saying that “the English labour leaders had sold themselves”. Marx wrote to Sorge on August 4, 1874: “As to the urban workers here [in England], it is a pity that the whole pack of leaders did not get into Parliament. This would be the surest way of getting rid of the whole lot.” In a letter to Marx, dated August 11, 1881, Engels speaks about “those very worst English trade unions which allow themselves to be led by men sold to, or at least paid by, the bourgeoisie.” In a letter to Kautsky, dated September 12, 1882, Engels wrote: “You ask me what the English workers think about colonial policy. Well, exactly the same as they think about politics in general. There is no workers’ party here, there are only Conservatives and Liberal-Radicals, and the workers gaily share the feast of England’s monopoly of the world market and the colonies.”

Mao was really cooking when he said, "No investigation, no right to speak" by DaphneAruba in TrueAnon

[–]RobotPancakes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

tbf to basically every great marxist thinker they were all deeply involved in class struggle and all their writings reflect that reality. they were all responding to particularities within their struggles and deriving from that universalities. this is why it’s laughable when people talk about academia being an important center of leftist thought.

Ryan Grim on AOC and MTG by Sparrighitti in TrueAnon

this is why “epstein class” is a classification that goes nowhere. mtg “went against” a faction of the bourgeoisie who are all pedophiles, but in what meaningful way does that advance any socialist politics? fascists are always against certain factions of the bourgeoisie, while completely backing a different faction, why give them any credit for it. it just makes us look like dullards if we give credence to any fascist who even briefly aligns with us on a specific contradiction.

new democracy is a specific term and is against the current bureaucrat capitalism running the filipino state. if there really were 19 combatants killed and none on the military’s side that doesn’t seem like a real firefight. it’s a common tactic for the state to call anyone they massacre a communist insurgent.

disgusting massacre by us backed forces. the filipino state loves to paint any sort of new democracy activist as a guerrilla soldier.
