You kinda swerved right around the real issue: class.
It’s not the democrats, it’s not other races, it’s not gender, it’s not anything that they use to drive a wedge between us. We are all the same and we’re all working class, being intentionally driven apart by issues created to do exactly that. If we can all fight together, we would win. No ifs or maybes about it. It’s their entire goal, to keep us fighting over the made up cultural divisions so we don’t unite under what truly keeps us all down and all disenfranchised.
Fuck all that they want us to think divides us and join together over what unites us: we’re all getting fucked by the ownership class and it’s time we took them down.
Exactly my point, but people have been conditioned against trigger words like class. I don’t hide that’s what I’m really saying, but I try to present the argument without activating their red scare brainwashing. I don’t even consider myself a Marxist more than I consider myself a liberal, yet it’s still difficult to avoid being branded as such. When they put you in a box, you can’t get through to them and have an honest conversation.
Capitalism is the problem, but the concept itself is loaded like a landmine. I find that trying to disarm or weaken that trap is necessary if you’re to ever get through. It isn’t fair. It isn’t logical. It’s just the reality we have to deal with.
