Soon they’ll offer the hardware for free with a subscription and that will guarantee their dominance. Late capitalism in the imperial core will be really wacky with all the financialization, monopolization and the desperate urge to continue the generation of profit despite the conditions for that fading away (higher labor costs and less labor involved in production). Artificial scarcity is already the order of the day for most consumer goods, planned obsolescence too. The “everything-is-a-subscription-and-consumers-own-nothing” is all these ideas taken to the extreme. With guaranteed revenue, you don’t have to worry about trying to get the average consumer to buy more of your stuff with advertising, making their stuff break after a planned amount of time, or only offering them stuff in low quantities to keep the price high, etc - you have them for as long as they have a computer, or a TV, or a car, a house, clothes, food, etc.

Careful, the MAGA communist fash heads believe this unironically

Socially necessary labor value plus the natural value of the linen, as nature is a source of value as well as labor.

Don’t worry, the sadness will remind you!

Take vitamin D and use a SAD lamp. Big difference!

Another incredible achievement of socialism

You’re doing it right now player, what’s up

The struggle is not so apparent in the beating heart of 21st century imperialist hegemony, but if you look you will find it. In many real ways, the world proletarian revolution continues everywhere, even in the minds of the oppressed. The goal however is to widen the frontier of revolution everywhere

That is true, my bad. My point still stands in the case of the Dem party leadership, who pretended to parrot the same rhetoric cynically whereas the Lincoln Project circlejerkers et al believed it actually

“Here’s my revolutionary new strategy: what we just tried to do!”

Nobody allowed near money is truly incompetent. The function of all of this rhetoric, so called “strategy” etc was to win with a pro-capital mandate or lose to fundraise again. Lenin asks us to consider who stands to gain when it comes to bourgeois politics

Don’t spend another minute arguing with family, friends, coworkers or Internet strangers. Go read the classic Marxist canon, read the history of socialist movements, and join an organization

The world to an American is what they can fit inside their new F150. This is what the culture of imperialism and settlerism has wrought

This will probably not happen. He’ll do some public gaffe while his handlers and cronies disassemble the public sector shock doctrine style, just like 16-20. He’s not really a cunning motivated guy, he’s just a saucy old narcissist mostly. Hamburber dinners and more AmeriKKKan fascism. Although he may die soon, especially if he gets COVID again

Good luck, kick ass

Most have correctly realized that bourgeois democracy is a sham for working people

Step #1 of the new revolutionary government: proletarianize Halloween

Anyone offering you anything that’s not written down can take it away at any time. It could be a legit offer, but if you rely on it, it puts you in a position of vulnerability. My advice is say sure, and have a back up plan. Trust your gut in all things. Good luck!
