Drive fast, bash fash, and support the working class
Capitalism does not self regulate, it consolidates. You should try reading Marx and Lenin’s actual writings, you seem very earnest and dont come off as a troll. There are multiple free audio recordings on YouTube of their works. Humanity must escape the all powerful driving forces of the profit motives Capitalism enforces or perish off the face of this earth. That process if it is to take place will appear extremely authoritarian to those who value profit above all else.
Investment Capital should not be a prerequisite for workers to own their means of production.
Yes it is, because authoritarianism isn’t the end goal of ML. You readily acknowledge that we currently live under an authoritarian Capitalist system, can you tell me what the end goal of this system even is? I mean most workers are one missed paycheck away from homelessness. While vast sums of wealth are horded by the top 1% of society with the only end goal being more wealth being extracted from the working class, with no actual goal besides more profit and greater wealth. The end goal of Marxist-Leninism is a classes society where each person contributes what they can to society and receives back what they need to live a fulfilling life. They are extremely different.
Because very few workers possess class conciousness due to decades of capitalist propaganda.
There is nothing authoritarian about workers owning the means of production, and for the record you live under the authority of Capital everyday.
So you’re saying you’d rather have Corporations and Billionaires continue to rob the working class?
It would increase the cost and also complicate the manufacturing process.
Reminds me of my thoughts after reading “Why Buddhism is True” by Robert Wright. If you haven’t read it before I highly recommend it.
The British East India Company killed 40 million People. And that is just one singular corporate entity.
A lot of people Starve to death under Capitalism every damn day while excess food is destroyed to secure more of a profit. Not having enough to go around is bad and happened alot before the advent of modern farming techniques, but creating that deficit artificially to secure a profit is damning of the viability of an economic system.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
I’m in this image and I dont like it.
You are ever so welcome and Im very happy to help out, its a great read and the protagonist is even in the age range that you are looking for.

Social liberalism is better than what we have atm, in the States, however it sounds like a half measure that could easily be rolled back with Conservative Propaganda against that status quo. I would prefer Gay Space Communism like Star Trek.
Yes workplaces should be a democracy, not the dictatorships that they currently are.
