Giving out Marxist pamphlets, but no one's taking them because they don't care about Marxism? Copy a bunch of dollar bills, cut them out, write the information on the back, leave them on the ground, and someone will pick it up in less than 5 minutes. Capitalism causes people to be obsessed with money. Use it to your advantage.

...improving the conditions of the working class and 2. That in order to alleviate the problems caused by the contradictions between the proletarian class and the bourgeois class requires an actual engagement of class struggle (not class collaborationism, ACO and Bernie Sanders), a.k.a, the overthrow of the capitalist class and the establishing of the proletarian class, the majority of society, as the new ruling class. 2/2

There is a difference between AOC/Bernie types who say they want to improve the working class's conditions of living but are too ignorant to realize that 1. In order to do so, it requires the abolition of capitalism through a proletarian revolution and 2. That achieving this through reforms is impossible (read "Reform or Revolution?), and ""tankies"" who recognize 1. The ineffectiveness of reforms within a capitalist system alone at... 1/2

Why do people focus on acquiring weapons during a societal collapse? To protect themselves, obviously. With no police or with a severely reduced police presence, people will have to be able to defend themselves, and you need all kinds of weapons for that. Food, water, medicine, and all the other things listed in the image are obviously important, but none of it will matter if you and your comrades get murdered or robbed of all your stuff.

Some books you should read after "State and Revolution" are "Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder" (Lenin), "Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism" (Lenin), and "What Is To Be Done?" (Lenin). 3/3
#socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism
Some other books I would recommend reading or listening to before "State and Revolution" are "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" (Engels), "Orgin of the Family, Private Property, & the State" (Engels), "Wage-Labor & Capital, Value, Price, & Profit" (Marx), Introduction to Marx, Engels, and Marxism" (Lenin). 2/3

Between the two, the Manifesto is the better one to start on. You can't really understand Leninism without first understanding Marxism since Leninism is an extension of Marxism. 1/3

Odd. Usually, it's liberals who are telling leftists to stop calling MAGA Republicans Nazis and are constantly collaborating with them in deed while opposing them in words only.

Making a map for geoguessr, it's breweries in Scandinavia. That forces me to sit and read some history of different breweries. Guess what? Marx was right. That capitalism eventually will monopolize. Most breweries have one of two destinies; bought by Royal uni brew, or Carlsberg, and then moved from the local brewery, often very old, from 1850-1900, to a bigger brewery, or bought and then killed off for not being profitable. I hate capitalism more and more for every day. #socialism
