@futilitariano Socialism is the logical outcome of the class struggle.

@futilitariano The struggle in Venezuela continues. It has not been decided yet. This is the second major US organized coup attempt. The first which failed is documented in "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id--ZFtjR5c Massive demonstrations estimated in the millions have come out for the government go unreported in the US. The Imperialists seem to have painted themselves into a corner now. The Pope has come out against violence which essentially rules out an invasion for the time being. The last failed coup saw the disloyal officers head for Miami so not doing real well there either. Now US/UK banks have stolen Venezuelan money deposited in their banks saying it belongs to the coup leader.

@digitalnomad9985 You just another sheep who believes whatever lie he is told by the US government. For you war is peace and peace is war. Saddam Hussein was a new Hitler with weapons of mass destruction. We supply Saudi Arabia with bone saws and sulfuric acid because we like the free press. We aren't fighting a war causing a famine and killing Yemeni children in school buses that's Saudi Arabia doing that. We just need the jobs from the military contracts. New Jersey use to be a prosperous state until it elected a government the other states didn't like so the good states decided to blockade evil New Jersey and sanction it and now New Jersey is a poverty hell hole after all the good stock brokers and hedge fund managers in Princeton left for Greenwich, CT. The evil Trump was made President by the Congress after counting electoral votes despite Clinton having the popular vote. Two years later Nancy Pelosi was elected speaker of the house by the Democrats. The Democrats with help from France then had a big 'women's march' in Washington and Pelosi declared herself to be President and Trump and his lackey Pence to be Dictators. France immediately recognized the Pelosi government as the real Peoples government and Canada and Mexico agreed. All the Banks in France and Canada would no longer allow the evil Trump to sign checks on French and Canadian bank accounts.

@xincindyxu6963 Communist China who you think your kidding Mao gave up communism long ago with the Bloc of Four Classes. General Chiang had a guilty concise from his massacre policy and was afraid to join a coalition government being urged by Stalin and the US advisers. Afterwords the US Imperialist Congress debated "who lost China". The US Imperialist figured, their WW2 victory, made them the new owners of China and the rest of the Universe.

Once you cross from the working class and its needs and into the petty bourgeois than identity politics begins to loses its progressive character. In other words what difference does it make what color or sex your boss or the policeman is? Of course a Black policeman out of uniform will still be a victim of the racist justice system and police. The Black petty bourgeois began the struggle against Jim Crow racism but it was Black workers who successfully fought Jim Crow racism in industries like Steel which produced the 1974 Consent decree and the USWA v. Brian Weber decision which upheld an affirmative action agreement in a United Steelworkers of America contract with Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corp. The Women and Black workers who fought their way into previous excluded trades and industries are a historic gain for the working class as a whole. Today's concepts of microaggressions, those that intrude on personal lives like demanding equal dating , that make a Black Lesbian person automatically a progressive leader by virtue of identity and bad manners campaigns have nothing to do with Marxism or Socialism. Instead they seek to elevate halting of bad manners, the breaking of glass ceilings and having a politically correct personal life as a revolutionary goal. This and the insults they have for workers who are caucasian only divide the working class instead of creating the revolutionary working class unity needed to over through capitalism itself.

@obijuan3004 We don't already have socialism. The capitalist police are the enemy of the working class. Just look at how the capitalist state treated the workers behind bars at 'The ICE BOX' MDC Brooklyn, NY. While announcing any one who leaves a dog out doors in the cold will be jailed. The water supply: Flint, MI. politicians ignore the contamination of the water caused by saving a few dollars. College: Available available only to the upper class and those willing to take on big debt. Elderly healthcare: Where after a hurricane nursing home patients die of heat stroke just across the street from the hospital with air conditioning.

Most of the liberals attacks on Trump are really aimed at those who voted against Clinton. Trumps recognition of the pain being inflicted upon working people by the elites and meritocracy are the reason he got elected. Not because we are ignorant dumb shits. The elites and meritocracy believe their poison ivy league educations make them destined to rule. Should we vote for someone without their approval than the way voting is conducted must be changed and first amendment rights must be certalied.

Ivan Adams How come he is still here? If capitalism is so great shouldn't he be headed back to Russia to get in on the latest corruption? CNN is a mouthpiece of US liberal democratic capitalist Imperialism.. Anderson Cooper is an heir to the Vanderbilt fortune. We have no need for them. Democratic Imperialism, the US and British Empire needed the Soviet Union during WW2 to defeat their market competition NAZI Germany.

@Tommy9834 You can work for a lifetime under capitalism and get nothing. With capitalism the people who work get a wage which is just enough to get them to return to work the next day. While the capitalist are not required to do anything but cash their dividend checks. They make a welfare cheat look like a shoplifter. As the old Mafia don said, "The only difference between them and us is they have a licence to steal."

@Tommy9834 If you interested in economic theory post revolution. One of the first acts of the Cuban government was to issue land titles to peasants who wanted to work the land after breaking up the old hacienda's. Thousands of different wage rates were analyzed and six were eventually agreed to. Another act was to teach the rural peasants to read. Thousands of young people went to the countryside as teachers. In order for a capitalist to 'thrive' he must make millions miserable. That is the truth about Amazon and WalMart. Learning how to beat the other guy with market manipulations, legal tactics and other anti social methods is a completely useless skill. With socialism you have not just the old tools of competition and incentives but the new tools of human solidarity and an increasing level of general cultural and educational level.
