The working class needs jobs. Capitalists own the means of production; these means require the workers. Are you arguing that some capitalists are good/bad? They all ravage the world and exploit labor as the capitalist system requires.

I don’t trust MTG, but I also don’t trust AOC!

No reform is forever. We should know this by now, as they reverse Roe v. Wade, erode labor protections, attack LGBTQ people, etc. The change we need is system-wide…

In a class-based system like capitalism, the state (cops, courts, military, ICE, etc.) exists to maintain the rule of one class over another, in this case the capitalist class. American neo-liberalism has served the capitalists’ interests well for the last few decades, but it is no longer. They need to tighten their grip because they are losing ground economically (to China, specifically).

This is when you see every effort to divide (weaken) and repress the working masses. Minoritized people and leftists are the first to be repressed - they are easy targets because the capitalists and the media outlets spend billions propagandizing the working masses to turn against these groups. This is when you see right wing reaction - as we are seeing now, not just in the US, but in many of the capitalist countries that are allies with US imperialism. This is a cycle that keeps repeating in every capitalist crisis.

It is in the interests of the whole working class - internationally - to recognize this tactic used to divide the working masses (which will lead to even lower quality of life for all) and to instead stand up against this repression and to defend people on the receiving end of US Imperialist aggression, whether this be workers, minorities, and/or countries (Iran, Cuba, etc.).

The ruling class has always made sure their spaces are safe. They control all of the machines of propaganda.

Only the imperialists have the right to self-determination. None of the rest of us….and that includes the workers within the imperial core.

There is no leadership that can make a system designed from the ground up to screw workers and minorities in order to enrich billionaires work in the interests of workers and minorities. You can’t reform rot.
