Imperialism and colonialism didn’t die it just changed form. And people don’t do anything about it. For a supposed free market system capitalism certainly looks a lot like industrialized mercantilism.

Dr. MLK, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, Fred Hampton, Angela Davis etc… all saw that anti-colonialism means socialist anti-capitalism. Capitalism is the empire

Liberation movements are integral to revolutionary and radical movements. A socialist movement without this integration is incomplete. Just look at the conservatism still present in M-L regimes. How is it a progressive and revolutionary movement if you do not have a social revolution? Class struggle alone did not help China, Russia, Vietnam etc… in social issues. At least not as much as a revolutionary movement would imply. Be concerned of the culture war, because culture is what liberates minds.

Yes but State Capitalism was already destroying Russia before they went full capital oligarchy. They were just bureau oligarchy and one large government enterprise. Perhaps videos on libertarian Marxism, council communism, autonomism, Luxemburg, Pannekoek, Rubel are needed. The age of authoritarian Marxism is gone, libertarianism is the future.

Mind you that the word “privatization” was coined by media to describe the Nazi economic policy. In an era where most countries were nationalizing, the Nazis were busy returning banks and industries to the private sector. Hitler made clear several times that private property is fundamental to a hierarchic society where the best are on top.

Democracy isn’t Vangaurdism either. Marxism-Leninism failed and is antiquated. Libertarian Marxism must now takeover the Marxist currents and thrown authoritarian Leninism to the trash bin

Politicians should have min wage, the fact that they can become wealthy in office is just transparent corruption. What happened to Republican civic duty and eternal vigilance ?

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.“ - Thomas Jefferson “This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.” - John Adams “I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies.” - Benjamin Franklin “All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.“ - Thomas Paine “Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.... During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution.“ - James Madison “Question with boldness even the existence of a god.“ - Thomas Jefferson “What is it the Bible teaches us? - raping, cruelty, and murder. What is it the New Testament teaches us? - to believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married, and the belief of this debauchery is called faith.” - Thomas Paine “Let us with Caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.” - George Washington “The whole history of these books (i.e. the Gospels) is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.” - Thomas Jefferson

Capitalism has never been about free markets. That was classical liberalism. Capitalism is the evolution of feudalism and mercantilism in the Industrial Age. You can’t say “free markets” when the economy is so monopolized

Notice no coverage of the counter protests. The protests were basically due to the government not delivering, and things lifting economic sanctions would help alleviate. But anything to push corporate hegemony and plunder the resources of other nations.

Clearly conservatives don’t understand what Deism is or have read any of the personal letters and correspondence of those figures Americans have sadly given the boring moniker of “Founding Fathers” rather than what they actually were: “Revolutionary Terrorist Insurrectionists;” they’d know that they were in fact Rational Theists. Their faith was tied to Reason, to liberal values and principles. Their Christianity was more of a liberal theology, the descent of which today is found in the Universalist Unitarian Church. These liberal theologians were not conservative fundamentalists that appealed to nonsense superstition and miracles, but saw God and Nature as one, Providence they called it. They saw Faith as only proper in Reason, and through the light of Reason the mysteries of God were revealed in Nature. They saw religious institutions as hubs for philosophical and theological debate and reasoning, to mold and form the national morality. Essentially as liberal theistic institutions where the public shall form the moral fabric of society. Not as a institution for preaching of superstition and unscientific thought, but of finding Faith and Natural Law through Rationality; and religion as a functionalist institution for Ethics philosophizing.
