"It is certain that the coming Revolution — like in that respect to the Revolution of 1848 — will burst upon us in the middle of a great industrial crisis. Things have been seething for half a century now, and can only go from bad to worse. Everything tends that way — new nations entering the, lists of international trade and fighting for possession of the world’s markets, wars, taxes ever increasing."

"Everywhere you will find that the wealth of the wealthy springs from the poverty of the poor."

"But a free society, regaining possession of the common inheritance, must seek, in free groups and free federations of groups, a new organization, in harmony with the new economic phase of history."

"It is not difficult, indeed, to see the absurdity of naming a few men and saying to them, “Make laws regulating all our spheres of activity, although not one of you knows anything about
them!” "

Think about the destruction of this unique community treasure the next time some libertarian is glibly trying to persuade you that minimizing constraints on private property will maximize social welfare.

Workers unite! Form unions to gain collective strength against bosses. Recognize that harm to one worker reflects the systemic exploitation affecting all workers. We have a world to win!
High-functioning autistic people should come out of the shadows.
They should openly say that they are best suited to rule and have the best ideas, i.e. libertarian ones.
This should not be an insult to Korwin or Mentzen that they are autistic (Asperger's), it should be an open advantage, and only such people should be admitted to the party.
"[A] great embarrassing fact ... haunts all attempts to represent the market as the highest form of human freedom: that historically, impersonal, commercial markets originate in theft."
About 6 minutes into this video, it goes into a hilarious but accurate presentation about the libertarians and their bullshit Nolan Chart.
You know what it is even if you don’t know it by that name. It’s the one that has left/right but also authoritarian/libertarian. And, as the video points out, it’s a lie.
"f you regularly follow debates about public policy, especially those involving wealthy tech bros, it’s obvious that there’s a strong correlation among the three Cs: climate denial, Covid vaccine denial and cryptocurrency cultism."
"How do tech bros plan to ride out Armageddon?" Arwa Mahdawi asks.
Her answer: "Living it up on their private islands."
She points to the case of Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, and his younger brother, Gabriel, who wanted to buy a Pacific island to escape the coming Armageddon — to whose coming their me-first tech-bro libertarianism has lavishly contributed.
Tittar på en vanlig gatlykta och tänker på hur mycket logistik och infrastruktur som krävs för att få den på plats och att fungera. Visa mig en "entreprenör" som fixar det ensam.
Listen, I'm not pro-Reddit. In fact, I've stopped using it.
But claiming that the users provide all of the value to Reddit by being their volunteer content creators, and Reddit itself adds no value, is a bit like when libertarians pretend that infrastructure plays no role in facilitating private corporate profits.
It also implies that all the work that someone like @ernest and the other devs at Kbin and Lemmy and such contribute no value.
