Karl Marx was born on this day in 1818.
It remains true, as he once put it, that "capitalism tends to destroy its two sources of wealth: nature and human beings."
We need to change the system.

This is outrageous. We all need to stand with the

organizers in Georgia facing RICO charges. The state will always use repression and intimidation to try to shut down our movements.

Never forget that Amazon paid $0 in federal taxes in 2018—and undocumented workers paid billions in taxes, even though they’re ineligible to claim benefits like social security of medicare.
The crisis isn’t on the border—capitalism is the crisis.

Workers produce all wealth. The capitalist class currently has dictatorial control over what is produced and how it’s distributed. Socialism is about workers taking democratic control over the products of their labor. If you’re not a capitalist, you should be a socialist! ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾
