#Trump’s blitz of executive orders was a deliberate assault. Overload #workers, fragment attention, and silence resistance—all to unleash brutal attacks and expand the power of #capital. The antidote? Fight for #socialism. Put the #oligarchs’ power into workers’ hands!

#Capitalism thrives by dividing the #workingclass — first they come for the undocumented, then they come for the rest. Build a socialist movement to defend #immigrants and resist! #Socialism

By legitimizing Trumpism as “normal politics,” the liberal media shows its real function: propping up the capitalist state, even as it drifts into authoritarianism. The answer isn’t curiosity; it’s resistance. No platform for #fascists. Build #socialism!

Technically, under the Constitution the entire country is a "sanctuary city." The 4th and 14th Amendments don’t vanish at any city's limits. The only problem is: the Constitution doesn't enforce itself. Hence the need for all #workers to fight this. #Immigrant rights are all of our rights!

Under capitalism, the #workingclass often votes against its own material interests, manipulated by promises of "greatness" while #capitalism itself conceals its exploitation. Workers must awaken to their role as the creator of all wealth and organize internationally for #socialism! #Marxism

Wall Street’s "animal spirits unleashed" is #capitalist barbarism unmasked—profits drenched in blood and sweat, workers crushed, #wars waged, and chaos sold as "growth." #Workers must respond with organized opposition! Build #Socialism!

National #teacherstrike now! Let their fascist attacks provoke a national breakdown of public #education in Week One! Defend our #immigrant students and families! #Teachers have the social power to reject this. We should take the lead! Teachers, let's be the spark to the resistance!

Capital openly embraces brute force over Enlightenment ideals like the rule of law. But the force of labor, as the true source of value and production, will overpower capital and make Enlightenment ideals—liberty, equality, democracy—permanent. That force is #socialism.

Control is the #Zionist regime's language, and every attempt to silence resistance exposes its fragility—a hallmark of colonial domination, where capital’s only way to thrive is to subjugate and oppress. Fight #imperialism! Build #socialism! Free #Palestine!

Could there be any clearer sign of the death of the rule of law? The #oligarchy discards any pretense of democratic rule to crush "enemies" and any #workingclass opposition. And the #NYT and #Democrats cloroform any resistance to the coming iron fist with "wait and see." Fight #fascism!

From Columbus’s caravels to Manifest Destiny's wagon trains to tech bros’ private jets, #imperialism marches on. As #Marx said, “Capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.” Some things never change. #Workers, don’t let them drag us into new wars for plunder!

Billionaires assume direct control of the government. This is the natural progression of #capitalism: the concentration of wealth and power into fewer hands to intensify the exploitation of the #workingclass. Only #socialism can break the #oligarchy and guarantee democracy and social equality.

#ICE raids in schools are a violent extension of #capitalist oppression, targeting the most vulnerable to divide the #workingclass. #Schools, sites of collective social good, must be defended. #Teachers and communities must resist, with or without #union leaders' help, & be prepared to act without.

The #Democrats have historically sidelined workers to defend #capitalism. Workers must stop waiting for crumbs from them and fight for a new system run by #workers that guarantees good #wages, universal #healthcare, free #education, shorter workweeks, and worker control of production: #Socialism!

The #NYT, cheerleader for #imperialism and #genocide, still uncritically echoes Israeli claims of minimizing harm, despite having reported just days ago that Israeli commanders were (are) allowed to kill up to 100 civilians per target. #GeneralStrike to stop genocide! www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/w...

#Capitalism creates conditions where people feel isolated, hopeless, and, in some cases, resort to violence. It prioritizes profit over people’s basic needs, fostering social breakdowns that can lead to tragedies like this. Build a society that values human life, not profit for the few- #socialism.

The #NYTimes year-end charts avoid the real economic story: class divisions and #inequality. No mention of the Gini coefficient or the growing gap between #workers and capital. Instead, they celebrate national productivity—as if almost all of its gains don’t go to the few at the top.

The #NYTimes paints #Israel as the victim, ignoring #genocide: 45,000+ killed, mostly women and children. #Imperialism must be countered, and resistance supported, while understanding that bourgeois nationalist movements like #Hamas and the #Houthis serve class interests, not #socialistrevolution.

A four-day workweek sounds great, but under #capitalism, any productivity gains go toward profit, not advancing workers' interests. Without structural change—abolishing private ownership of production and basing society on meeting collective needs, i.e. #socialism —it’s just smoke and mirrors.
