The mind of an artist is refuge for imagination, a cabin for incandescence to endure the imperfections of the world we don't choose.

As someone whoโs black and poor, and who has been my entire life, the way liberals use us as props with this harm reduction shit is so disrespectful and I wish theyโd stop. Iโm telling you that you arenโt reducing the harm I feel lol

Democrats co-opted the civil rights movement so thoroughly that ppl think that the fight for our right to vote was so that we could vote for democrats when in reality the majority of that work was done by organizations that ran their own independent candidates.
When white people say that class struggle is the defining struggle of history, they donโt mean of their own history exclusivelyโ but they should.
For BIPOC, colonialism is their defining struggle, and white people seek to disguise that by erasing BIPOCโs beef with them.

Capitalism is apparently the most efficient allocation mechanism ever invented, provided you ignore empty houses, homeless people, destroyed food, planned obsolescence, medical bankruptcies, wage theft, monopolies, pollution, bullshit jobs, and periodic financial catastrophes.

โBeing left-wing can create a little problems sometimes in the United States, but I would have fun with it! Thereโs nothing like being at a dinner party in Beverly Hills with fancy guests and telling them youโre a socialist.โ

โNo altar, no belief, no holy book... have ever been able to reconcile the rich and the poor, the exploiter and the exploited. And if Jesus himself had to take the whip to chase them from his temple, it is indeed because that is the only language they hear.โ

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) on the โfree marketโ:
โThe free market mythology argues that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us through something called the invisible hand.โ
The rise of socialism in the United States, particularly among young people, is precisely because Americans can see how ridiculous this mythology of free market capitalism is, given the deteriorating material conditions for millions of Americans, while a tiny oligarchy prospers to astronomical heights.
Socialism may be in its infancy in the United States, some who call themselves socialists may only understand it as โwhen the government provides public servicesโโฆ
But the ideas of socialism in the US will snowball and mature, bringing in the ideas of places where socialism has a long tradition such as China, Russia, Latin America, and Europe.
Socialism is in its infancy in the United States, the obvious dystopian realities of late-stage capitalism in the US will only fuel its rise and maturation.
Prof. Richard Wolff on the rise of SOCIALISM in the United States๐บ๐ธ:
โYou have to remember when you talk about the US, that for the last 70-75 years, we have lived under a regime. It is a regime that has demonised anything and everything having to do with the Soviet Union, the arch enemy, the communists, the socialists, the anarchists.
Most of my students, who are otherwise intelligent, hardworking, very good young men and women, but when you ask them about these issues, they talk as if socialism, communism, Marxism, anarchism, and many other things are synonyms. They have no concept of them beyond theyโre bad, theyโre foreign, theyโre negative.
Therefore, for there to even be a serious socialism in this country, which there now is, is an amazing achievement. The whole country is indebted to Bernie Sanders because he broke the taboo by saying, โNo, Iโm not going to run away from the label socialist.โ But we are in the early stages now, so itโs basically too early to answer your question beyond saying itโs very impressive how quickly itโs growing.
The latest Gallup polls in our country show that if you ask people below the age of 34, the majority now say they prefer socialism to capitalism.โ

King Leopold II is not demonized like Hitler because his victims were Black Africans โ and Black lives have never mattered to the people who built their wealth on our suffering.
He killed over 20 million innocent Congolese, and oversaw a regime that amputated the hands of countless Africans.
Leopold was even buried in a Catholic church.
Even worse, Europe still honors this colonial monster with monuments, while his African victims are forgotten.
Imagine an African leader doing this to 20 million Europeans.
Would the world ever let them forget ?
Western hypocrisy is absolutely disgusting.

France spent a century telling Africa it was bringing "civilization."
The "mission civilisatrice." The white manโs burden in a beret.
They meant: French language, French law, French culture, French schools where African children learned the history of "their ancestors," Gauls with blond hair and blue eyes, while French companies extracted the rubber, the phosphate, the uranium, the labor.
That was the civilization.
Now the grandchildren of those Africans live in the banlieues of Paris, Lyon and Lille, and in the quartiers nord of Marseille.
French citizens, products of the French school system, speaking French as their first language.
And France is asking why theyโre so difficult to integrate.
Integrate into what, exactly?
The civilization that went to their grandparentsโ country and took everything?
Or the republic that promised equality and delivered a suburb with a police problem and a school with no books?
