CAPITALISM

HAS OUTLIVED ITS USEFULNESS

it takes NECESSITIES from the MASSES to give LUXURIES to the CLASSES

-- MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

So what is the antidote to capitalism? Economic democracy. With democratic control over our productive capacities we can stop climate breakdown in short order.

First, what do I mean by capitalism? People often assume that capitalism is defined by businesses, markets and trade. But these things were around for thousands of years before capitalism and have taken many different forms. In reality, the main thing that distinguishes capitalism is that it is fundamentally undemocratic.

This may seem strange to say because obviously many of us live in democratic political systems, where we get to elect government leaders from time to time, even if we acknowledge that these systems are corrupt and inadequate. But when it comes to the economy, the system of production, not even a pretence of democracy is allowed to enter. Under capitalism, production is controlled overwhelmingly by capital: the big banks, the major corporations, and the 1% who own the majority of investible assets. They determine what to produce, how to use our labour and our planet’s resources, and who should benefit.

And for capital, the purpose of production is not to meet human needs or improve society, much less to achieve any ecological goals. The purpose is to maximize and accumulate profit. That is the overriding objective. This is known as the “capitalist law of value”: capital only invests in producing what is profitable to capital.

#Protest in #FortWorth #dfw today, #NoKings. According to organizers the #FBI closed airspace around the event, which might explain why the helicopter was hanging pretty far back. There *was* a quadcopter hanging out closer to the event though. Probably had about a thousand people milling around, give or take a couple hundred.

Saw reps from #CPUSA, #RCA, and #PSL #PartyForSocialismAndLiberation too, as well as #AFLCIO. #socialism #communism #marxism.

Sign on a trifold that reads:

This is a peaceful event.

Stay within the park.

Do not enter the streets.

Do not engage with agitators.

Report concerns to the nearest event staff or FWPD.

Be chill but be fire and take care of each other!

Fort Worth Area Indivisible.

Resist. Reclaim. Rebuild.

Crowd of people on west 7th street sidewalks waving signs, banners, etc.

More crowds on west seventh.

Another shot of folks on west seventh, but wider and in portrait, showing a helicopter hovering in the sky in the distance, presumably watching the protest.

Which party do I vote for to shut down the ~900 military bases & the unknown number of CIA torture facilities the US operates?

Who do I vote for to stop the deprivation of the working classes here & abroad? Which party represents the interests of the laboring masses against the capitalists who profit off their backs?

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

Never forget that we, the working class, are the many, and they, the police, are the few.

Tabula Rasa

Let this be the beginning of a revolution that topples the fascist state!

In the USA, it is proper etiquette to ask if the person would prefer dying before you call an ambulance.

Ambulances are expensive.

I always get pretty depressed when I see old union cartoons from the late 19th century that are still super relevant to today, like this one
