Raging Against the Machine
know your enemy
The history of the world - and particularly the rise of republics and democratic states - is best understood through the lens of class struggle.
"The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy.” - Know Your Enemy
The French Revolution was a mass uprising against the absolute power of the nobility and clergy.
Indian independence was not just national liberation, but the revolt of an exploited population against imperial extraction.
The Russian Revolution was workers and peasants asserting themselves against a system built on their exploitation.
Today, the rise of racism, antisemitism and hatred towards those deemed "different" serves a similar function: distraction. Division along racial or cultural lines fracture the solidarity that has been built and keep attention away from the real criminals - the billionaires who have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the world combined. If people were truly class-conscious, this system would be impossible to sustain.
“Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.” - Killing In The Name
Wake up, people.
Your enemy is not an immigrant seeking a better life. It is the billionaire underpaying you, extracting your labour, and turning your exploitation into profit.
We live in a world that could feed everyone, house everyone, and educate everyone - but chooses not to, because inequality is profitable. Anger is not the problem. Misplaced anger is. Directed properly, rage is fuel.
“Anger is a gift.”
Do not let hatred distract you. Do not let them turn neighbour against neighbour while they loot the future. The human race is capable of far more - but only if we stop fighting each other and start confronting those who actually hold the power.

The worst thing is that most people still defend the people who actively make everyone's lives worse!! The amount of people who defend billionaires, and also capitalism, and hate on minorities is awfully high

Lemme run this down.
We live in a corroded echo chamber of consciousness neoliberal capital theory, which has corroded itself and permeated all theories of the compass; Marxism has de-evolved to a mere reformist and revisionist theory, which goes against orthodox Marxism, creating a disunited theory, which therefore makes them unable to mass their arms, further made worse by liberal syndicalism. Liberal corrosion into far-right ideas has led to a reactionary-liberal synthesis of theory inside ideas such as fascism with neo-nazism, further degenerating itself into random instances of terror which catalyse into nothing as liberalism covers its blood. Anarchism falls to nothing as it dominoes itself towards an escapist theory and echo chamber of its own, as it cannot cope with the ever-dominated compass liberal theory has created, therefore engulging into nothing but a rabid echo chamber.
Therefore, revolution is nothing; revolution cannot happen as the revolution itself has already corroded. Neo-leftist theory has evolved further away from praxis. You are blinded
A lot of talk, but you haven’t really engaged with what I discussed.
Ideological fragmentation does not negate material conditions. Class exploitation does not vanish because theory becomes incoherent. Workers are still underpaid, rents remain exorbitant, and wealth continues to be extracted upward.
Declaring revolution “impossible” simply because movements are fractured is not analysis — it is resignation. Material reality does not wait for theoretical unity.
If anything, the persistence of exploitation is precisely why disengagement and fatalism are luxuries afforded only to those least affected by it.

This should've been realised when the masses started to shell out money for things that the soil fosters itself...
We live in a world where we buy the plants the Earth grows, we buy the water that flows in the rivers, we struggle for clean air, the primal requirements of even the nonhuman....
All that's left of humanity is a chassis... a chassis of what we were once
Perhaps we really are...
It's never too late to rise. Never too late to wake up. We have our entire future to fight for.
This is your life and mine.
