Questioning the CPUSA

As a Marxist-Leninist, I feel it is only right to question the actions of this so called “communist party USA”. Let me ask, in what world would it be logical for a party like the CPUSA to become big supporters of the democrat party? Has it not been known throughout history that the communist does not befriend with those who are enemies to the working class? That they don’t hold any alliances with the capitalist elite? If this is not commonly known, it should be. The communist, by his support for Marxism, does not join forces with the capitalist class, or class traitors, which is what the CPUSA is acting like. The communist does not join forces with these people, he/she through the work of the party wages a constant war against the capitalist, both in influence wise, and revolution wise.

Let’s look at another issue with the CPUSA. The communist is a militant revolutionary who believes in revolution to bring about the creation of socialism within a state, the problem with the CPUSA on this issue is that they have went against that view, they gave up their militancy for pacifism, part of why they seem to side with the democrat party. This belief, this illogical falsehood that you can bring socialism through bourgeoisie election, needs to stop, this is not, whatsoever, a Marxist belief. This is strong liberalism at its finest, and to believe this is a Marxist perspective transcends to being strong Trotskyist belief, for Trotskyism believed heavily in such ideals and its philosophy was considered liberalistic at times. Marx and Engle’s work has transcended to being the most revolutionary and biggest ideologies throughout the world, and because of this his work has been carried on with the works of Lenin, Stalin, and other revolutionary figures. So to carry this belief, that through bourgeoisie elections you can change the constant revolutionizing system of capitalism over to socialism, is Anti-Marxist.

Let’s look at their previous meet ups. The issue with the CPUSA on this subject is that they meet up once if not twice a year, talk on a few current subjects and philosophy, and don’t show up until there is a protest the members can take part in. This is not Marxist, even Lenin believed in constant work to build and advance. This action the CPUSA has taken, this order of function builds nothing, and it only further pushes their name without organizing the masses in to a revolutionary movement. It also does not further the influence of Marxism, for as I explained earlier, their actions are not Marxist but pacifism of Liberalistic if not Trotskyistic philosophy. How can they promote and spread Marxism when they act against its prime basic understanding?

Without mercy, I will continue to say, the CPUSA has proven, over and over again, to be nothing more than revisionist liberals. The CPUSA must either give up their liberal ideology they’re following now and go back to their old Marxist beliefs, or might as well give up the term communist. 

The American Dream

The subject of the American dream is one of constant discussion, with a possible equal half and half of support and opposition of it still existing today. What is the American Dream? It’s a national ethos that many U.S. citizens believe in, that it means anyone can achieve success.

Wikipedia explains the American Dream as:

“The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, the set of ideals (democracy, Rights, Liberty, Opportunity, and Equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers”

Be it as it may whatever position you carry on Wikipedia, this statement still opens the floor to discussion on the subject.

Is this dream still realistic today or has it died? The American dream, realistically, is dead.

Let’s look at some facts for this statement made. On impoverishment, a study in 2012 shown 46.5 million of our 318.9 million live in poverty. However this study was in 2012 and we have seen a growth in impoverishment in recent years, especially with the decrease of the middle class. If the American dream was still alive the ability to get out of poverty wouldn’t be an issue, yet it is. People still, despite the facts given, argue that people are impoverished because they’re lazy, this is nothing more than an absurd lie. A new study mentioned by Brigham Young University says:

“But a new study by sociologists at BYU, Cornell and LSU provides a rigorous new estimate. Their work suggests about 10 percent of working households are poor. Additionally, households led by women, minorities or individuals with low education are more likely to be poor, but employed.”

If so many are working why is it so hard to achieve the American dream? With that said it would not be logical to continue without mentioning around 44% of homeless individuals are also employed, yet still homeless. Not many people seem to understand poverty is not something that is easy to get out of, especially when individuals get stuck with low paying jobs it makes it worse.

Let’s move on to education. Our education is good, yes, however we still have issues, mainly the fact that we are working with an outdated model of education that is similar to a factory production line. Ken Robinson at the RSA explained that we have a system that is “modeled on the interests of industrialism, and in the image of it”. A summarization of his explanation, that we have a system that takes our modern day children, who are raised in a time of technological advancement, and put them behind a desk looking toward a board with little to no movement or team cooperation. They move to separate facilities and subjects signaled by ringing bells, plus we still educate children in batches based on age group, of course this system of education is outdated for today’s time, and because of this it is more clear to see why so many fail in education. If an individual fails education they cannot succeed to obtaining a job needed in succeeding in life thus not being able to achieve the American Dream. Let’s look at a few facts about our population’s education. Illiteracy in America is a big issue, 50% of adults in the U.S. read so poorly they can’t do simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels. Illiteracy is not the only issue we have as a society, a poll discovered 1 in 4 Americans still believe the earth is flat. Our education may be more advanced than other nations, however we still have major issues that can hinder one’s ability to achieve the American Dream.

Opportunity is not equal for everyone, today 40% of African Americans won’t be called back based on their name sounding African American. The National Bureau of Economic Research says “Despite laws against discrimination, affirmative action, a degree of employer enlightenment, and the desire by some businesses to enhance profits by hiring those most qualified regardless of race, African-Americans are twice as likely as whites to be unemployed and they earn nearly 25 percent less when they are employed.” They continue “It indicates that a white name yields as many more callbacks as an additional eight years of experience. Race, the authors add, also affects the reward to having a better resume. Whites with higher quality resumes received 30 percent more callbacks than whites with lower quality resumes. But the positive impact of a better resume for those with Africa-American names was much smaller.”

With this in mind of course this also has a dramatic effect on Equality, for if it’s obvious that there is racial discrimination among a workplace, it’s in our own society and government as well.

The American Dream is exactly what it is, a dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it. Realistically, for our society, the American Dream died shortly after it started.

2016

As we enter in to 2016, the only thing being discussed is the election and who will win, especially what this means for America. So I shall be talking about the top three that everyone loves. Trump, Hillary, and Bernie Sanders.

Lets start with Trump, if you read my article “Donald Trump is a fascist” You'll know exactly how I feel about this man.

Trump's prime position that gains his popularity in the presidential election is his profound interest on immigration. He wants to build a wall, which may I remind would cost us 65 billion, and he wants to deport all the illegals, which is not only more impossible with his added 65 billion dollar wall, but it's also completely unethical. Trump makes up all the political stances of fascism. He wants to get rid of the many, many illegals and demonizes them to be horrible people and obviously not just normal people seeking a better life away from their collapsing country. He breaks up unions and obviously is against them, this is evident considering he broke up a union to his own hotel. His view of war is that of a imperialist, he once said that we should take 1.5 trillion dollars worth of oil from Iraq to pay for the war, whenever the word “take” comes in to play when on the subject of war, it is with imperialist rhetoric. So yes, when it comes to Trump, I will not hold back when I say the man is, by every view he carries, a fascist. In fact it's not surprising with this mentioned that the Neo-Nazis and KKK support him and love him unconditionally.

Now Hillary, that's one in which I'm willing to go in to deeper analysis on. The first thing I'm going to highlight, is her hypocrisy when it came to the legalization of gay marriage. She said “I believe marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman” However, when the ruling happened she was fast to tweet “proud to celebrate” and even changed her profile picture on twitter to a capitalized H in gay pride colors. Let's move on to her war ethic, she supported the Iraq war authorization and foreign military intervention. War is a tool used by big capitalists to profit off the imperialistic theft of others and push any dissidents in to submission. So no, I'm not gonna support the act of war under the capitalist establishment for them to increase capital. Now lets go in to what else she's supported, like for example, the TPP, which if you read my article on trade agreements, you'll see the TPP not only would ship jobs over seas, but would also destroy national sovereignty laws of foreign nations that cut in to corporate profits. She also backs bail outs for big banks, this was evident with her support of the Wall Street bailout (TARP) which was paid for with tax payer money, like how all bail outs are paid for. She also supports the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would be build right through Native American reservations, forests, and so on. The issue with this pipeline is not only its 5.4 billion cost, but also the fact that it isn't guaranteed to be leak proof.

Bernie Sanders, this is a name I'm tired of hearing in the communist community, support wise that is.

Bernie maybe a “democratic socialist” however there is nothing socialist about him whatsoever. Does he seek, openly, the destruction of the capitalist state? Does he seek to end wage slavery by promoting revolutionary war against the capitalist class? No, he does not. These are traits only a socialist and a communist carry, let that never be forgotten. I said, and I'll stand by it, that democratic socialists are social chauvinists who follow in liberal philosophy more than Marxist philosophy. Socialists and communists believe that the country should be democratically ran through democratic centralism only under the newly formed socialist state after revolution. This secures the dictatorship of the proletariat. Bernie does not support revolution, in fact, like a liberal or a trot he believe you can change the system from within. History has shown us this is wrong, a constant revolutionizing system such as capitalism can not be changed from within, the only answer is destruction of the capitalist state. For a so called “socialist” he was very supportive of NATO bombing Yugoslavia. Besides from that he slandered the USSR, saying he's glad that it was falling apart. Anti-soviet rhetoric is famous among liberals and trots, and what angers the communists and socialists more is people who call themselves communist or socialist while being anti-Marxist and pro-liberalism. Anyway, Bernie Sanders is a bigger war supporter than he lets on, while it is true he voted against the Iraq war, he voted in favor of authorizing funds for that war and for the war in Afghanistan. He also voted in favor for a 1 billion aid package for the Neo-Nazi government of Ukraine and ironically also supported the Israeli assault on Gaza.

As the revolutionary communist that I am, I will not play in to the bourgeoisie coin toss game.

Radek

A civil war, two sides, Neo-Nazis in the west and communists in the east. Location? Ukraine.

The war is so destructive, no one knows how the future will turn out. Many are scared of becoming taken over by the west and fear fascist oppression, little did they know, a hero was with them. General of a tank platoon in eastern Ukraine, fighting against the Neo-Nazis, His name is Radek, Slavic name, meaning for it is “famous ruler”. A loyal, caring, and strategic general.

First paragraph: An early morning
It was an early morning, Radek and his platoon of sixteen tanks was traveling through a wheat farm, original orders was to take position their and keep an eye out for the enemy, but Radek, to keep from being shot like fish in a barrel, he and his platoon took position on a mountain cliff that overlooked the wheat farm, behind some bushes. Any enemy tank or infantry platoon spotted would be taken out by his hidden tanks. An hour passes, and a bit curious Radek calls back to his base if they have heard anything, for their enemy always attacked them at least once a day, one of his comrades back at base said they are picking up reports of five tanks heading in Radek’s direction. When the five tanks came in to view in the middle of the field, Radek gave the order and all sixteen tanks fired, destroying three out of the five tanks, the other two went straight to the barn of the farm for cover, one made it, the other was not so lucky. Radek gave the order and his platoon went to the barn, going around both sides, when the enemy tank got view of one of Radek’s tanks, he fired, it bounced off the ground hit the underside of the tank and destroyed it, the enemy tank went to fire again, but four out of the remaining fifteen tanks fired at once and destroyed the enemy tank.

Second paragraph: The ambush
A week has gone by since Radek lost one of his tanks in the wheat farm to an enemy tank, the families of the crew that died that day are in deep laments, but they are glad their sons was brave enough to protect them from fascism, no matter the cost. Radek, while in deep thought of that day, was startled by his crew member who told him the platoon was needed up north for what was reported, an enemy platoon of tanks and infantry. So they head toward the area in which the report came from, which was an open field surrounded by woods, Radek was confused, who would have been able to report a platoon of enemy’s out here? As he pondered on this, he was soon greeted by two enemy tank platoons, each having a max of fourteen tanks. It was no doubt in Radek’s mind, it was a ambush. He maneuvered his tanks as best as he could to take out the enemy before they destroyed his platoon, but the enemy pulled a Blitzkrieg, only without the air support, and ended up isolating his tanks in small groups and destroyed them one by one. Radek yelled at his crew to follow him, as he opened the bottom hatch and jumped out in to the grass. Sadly, his crew did not make it in time and died from the explosion of Radek’s tank when hit by the enemy’s. Radek, for once scared, and thinking fast, stayed in the grass, prayer the enemy would not find him. Radek got lucky, for the enemy after they destroyed all his platoon, left and moved on in to east Ukraine, where he knew, death of his comrades, and civilians, will soon follow.

Third paragraph: Seeking revenge

As Radek heads east to find a way to warn the eastern people’s republic of Novorossiya, enemy helicopters fly overhead toward east Ukraine, carrying soldiers no doubt. After two hours of walking, he comes to a small city, the first thing he sees in enemy soldiers, he hides in the bush to sneak up and kill one of them so he can take his gun. He waited till the one soldier split from his buddy and walked his way, when he got in arms reach he grabbed him by the throat with one hand and held his mouth shut with the other, he then took his gun and pushed him to the ground. Radek says to the enemy soldier “How many are there here? How many of you Fascists have come here to the independent republic of Novorossiya!” The young soldier replied “Wouldn’t you like to know, let’s just say, this land will be ours, it will fall to fascism and the EU, and all here will hail the name of the glorious Stepan Brandera!” Radek, filled with anger, took his knife and stabbed the soldier in the neck, watching him bleed out. Radek then carried on, sneaking past enemy guards till he snuck in to the base they took over, and called his comrades for back up tanks, infantry, and air support. Once Radek got out of the base his enemies stole from his comrades, he heard an alarm go off, and yelling saying “We have a man down” giving him a distraction for him to escape. He then moved south to the nearest city.

Forth paragraph: The last stand
Radek got to the nearest city, which looked like the enemy just drove through with minimum damage done to it. Radek, before he got half a mile close to the city, was greeted by Novorossiya’s militia, armed with fully automatic rifle and RPG’s, they was not able to get there in time to fight the enemy, for more damage would have been done if they was there first. Radek told them to set up defenses and blockades, for there is another platoon of troops coming from the town he just came from. The militia parked vehicles half a mile off the city to create blockades, and put the local town’s people on the top of three story buildings to shoot from above and help in protecting their motherland. A few hours pass by, and one of the militia members yells out “ENEMIES!” Radek looks down the road and sees over four dozen infantry soldiers, seven tanks, and four Humvees with machine gun turrets. Once the enemies seen the blockades they almost immediately started firing toward the city, and Radek and the militia started firing back. Radek gave the order to the town’s people on the roof, and six of them fired off RPG’s toward their opponents, two killed about a dozen troops, while the rest took down two tanks, and one Humvee. Snipers in the building were picking off enemy soldiers one by one. Radek, shooting a machine gun, mowed down infantry troops like grass. As the enemy tanks fired, hitting buildings, killing those in them and on top of them, the rest of the RPG soldiers was firing to destroy the remaining tanks, so far four tanks have been destroyed along with another Humvee. Radek was starting to worry, there was only fifteen infantry soldiers, two tanks, and two Humvees left, and they already got through three of the five blockades. As he yelled out to the militia “we may die here, but it has been an honor fighting by your side men”, an airstrike comes out of nowhere and destroys the remaining enemy platoon. Radek turns around and sees Novorossiya fighter jets and tanks moving toward the city, just enough to push back the enemy forces. Radek, glad that backup finally came, smiled, turned around and said to the remaining militia forces “I don’t know how long this war will be, but no matter how old I get, I can keep fighting like this till my death” 

A Workers' Proposal

It has been evident to me for years that of all the issues in the world, only one issue bothers me to the extreme. I can’t even say this issue irks me, for it does not; it utterly bothers me to the point where my blood runs hot with pure anger. What issue could possibly bother me to such a level as this? Well, that issue is the constant complaints and sheer lack of understanding that the rich have for the poor, that the rich complain about giving a little more to society, that they blame the poor for being greedy, that they think we seem to live the easy life with no worries. This is a major problem because this ignorance, this lack of understanding, makes the struggles of poverty even harsher. As a way to fix this issue, I bring to the reader a proposal I know every worker would agree with.

I propose that the wealth of the rich be stripped from them and used for the betterment of the whole society. The rich would then be required to work in ordinary jobs, according to their individual skill set. Should they be sufficiently useless as such that they have no particular skill, they can complete menial, low-skill jobs, again for the betterment of the society as a whole. There are a lot of benefits to this proposal, advantages that can advance our society.

The first benefit is education. By taking the wealth from the rich we can take a section of its total to fund education for the masses. Just think about it, schools will not be lacking books, computers, proper materials, or some decent lunch for students. With this section of money we will also be able to build more schools in underdeveloped towns and cities and/or make the ones we have now better. Who knows, we may also be able to fund it so well we can make college free for the masses.

The second benefit is healthcare. We can take another section of this money and make our medical field the best it can be and make it free, so that workers are not stressed out and struggling with a life threatening problem just because they don’t have cash for surgery or treatment. With this type of advancement in our medicine, we may be able to cure some of the world’s oldest diseases, if not stop new ones before they are given a chance to spread. The quality of life will increase and there would be no issue over the lack of proper medicine or the money for it.

Third benefit is transportation. Many in the impoverished working class only get around by bus or bike. We can use a section of this money to increase bus routes and train stations in the more underdeveloped regions of society, especially in areas that don’t have public transportation. We could possibly even develop subway stations, monorails, and elevated trains. Who knows, we may even be able to create better, faster, and cleaner means of transportation, instead of these smoggy buses and trains.

The last benefit is welfare. Those who live on it know it is only enough on which to subsist from month to month, not enough to actually get out of poverty. Put more funds in and it will allow those on welfare to not be worried at the end of the month about affording food. I’m sure the elderly, who can’t work anymore, would agree and enjoy that contribution, along with the disabled. Depending on how much we put in to welfare, we may even be able to help enough for those temporarily on it to get back on their feet faster.

If there is anything left, fund it in to cleaning up our environment, and finding alternatives to power and resources, so we are not poisoning our rivers, our air, our food, or our ground. We’d not only be making our planet cleaner, but we would not be using outdated practices that do more harm than good. Unlike what the rich propose with polluting our air with industries, fracking our land for oil, cutting down large numbers of trees for paper and wood, and creating power that leaves behind a chemical substance that can’t be destroyed, but destroys instead.

Some may say “what about the mansions and limos and other luxuries the rich own, surely that represents their wealth as well”. It does, and instead of leaving all that land to cater to one man/woman, or even a small family, it will also be taken and their mansions destroyed to be made use for schools, hospitals, neighborhoods, etc. Their limos, yachts, and other vehicles will be destroyed and recycled to produce vehicles for the working people. It will be a great contribution to society to free up this land for society.

The work places they use to run, the workers will take control of them and democratically run them. The production made will not be focused on profit like the rich had, but instead focused on production itself. It’s a good benefit to the workers in the work place, they get work place democracy, and they lose parasites that were living off their labor. With this, workers will make democratic decisions on how to get the job done better and faster.

The high rankers of religious institutions should also be included in the rich class. It’s ok to have a religion, but when there is a city of gold, a gold throne, gold drinking cups, and gold everything else like the Vatican, who preach “help the poor” while passing around a cup to collect money from followers, it’s hypocritical. Another benefit can also be all the gold taken, can go into backing and bringing the value up on our currency, instead of devaluing it by printing more money with the help of the Federal Reserve. If churches and other religious institutions continue to collect money, they are going to pitch in to helping society by paying taxes like everyone else.

With all these benefits, it would be illogical to not support this proposal. However the rich do run and control our government, and this proposal would not be very agreeable to them for obvious reasons, but as I stated, this is a workers proposal, so if the rich in our government truly love democracy as they say they do, why not hold it to a majority vote, and this is where the rich would have to show their true colors of what they really represent, and it will show the only way you take what has been stolen from a parasite, is by forcing it out of their hands.

May be with this proposal offered and backed by the workers, the rich would not be so whiny about paying more in taxes, would actually give their workers a raise for once, stop blaming the poor for being greedy, and even stop raising our prices and taxes while paying us lousy wages. Along with this, not take most of our money and fund it in to their endless wars to seek resources and keep the power of the president higher than it is when not in war time. With all they do, with no realization of how we struggle, it would only take an act of revolution against the rich for them to truly understand, that we are tired of their stealing and attacks against us. 

Should food and water be free?

To me, food and water should be free. I mean it is a basic necessity for life, as is oxygen. It’s not like the past where we use to have farms that would be able to supply just enough food for those in the region, we today have large farms owned by corporations who are over producing so much food that it appears we waste more than we eat. Taken from a report from the huffingtonpost, we produce enough food to feed 10 billion people, in a world with only 7 billion people. Today, the people who go hungry or starve do so because of poverty and inequality, not scarcity.

So how is all this food being produced? Rodale, the longest-running side-by-side study comparing conventional chemical agriculture with organic methods, found organic yields match conventional in good years and outperform them under drought conditions and environmental distress, a critical property as climate change increasingly serves up extreme weather conditions.

So with all this food produced, how much truly goes to waste sense it overcomes the number of the population on the world? Plus with the added fact not everyone has access to this food? Roughly one third of the food produced in the world, approximately 1.3 billion tones. Every year, consumers in rich countries waste 222 million tons of food.

Moving along to water, the U.N., on the 28 of July, 2010, proposed a resolution that passed that stated water is a human right. Taken from the U.N. website regarding this resolution “the United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation and acknowledged that clean drinking water and sanitation are essential to the realization of all human rights.” Now you’re probably saying to yourself “how does water being a human right got to do with it deserving to be free?” because, if something is a human right, is it fair to make humans pay for it? If something is a human right why should it be priced? If we was to price rights then why not make people pay to speak their freedom of speech. It’s the very fact it is a human right that it deserves to be free.

As for its supply, there is 2.5% fresh water, but Nearly 70% of that fresh water is frozen in the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland; most of the remainder is present as soil moisture, or lies in deep underground aquifers as groundwater not accessible to human use. Only 1% of the world’s fresh water is accessible for direct human use. Obtain the rest of this fresh water, and we could have a large supply for all upon this world.

With these facts, the question should not be “should food and water be free?” it should be “why shouldn’t food and water be free?” these facts of how much food and water we have for all on this world, we need to become more compassionate for our fellow brothers and sisters, and do what is right, because no one deserves to go hungry and die from starvation or lack of drinking water, if you wouldn’t want to go through such suffering, why should others endure it.

Unions

Unions are the second line of defense for the working people, next to the communist party of course. However there is a few issues in which I seek to highlight in this article. The fact is unions are wonderful for protection and establishing workers rights, sadly unions are either plagued with liberalism or manipulated by big capitalists to their interest. Liberalism among the unions can make workers be pacifistic to issues that demand direct action, along with this is that unions today that are plagued by liberalism are too soft on important issues when it comes to the worker/ boss relationship. Besides from this is the capitalists bending the unions to their interest, which is rare, but they mainly do this by plaguing the union with liberalism, however they also do this through capitalist influence and control of unions, usually by big capitalist supporters like conservatives. Lenin mentions in his book “Imperialism and the split in socialism” about the collapse of the Dockers' union; the 'old' conservative trade union, rich and therefore cowardly, remain alone on the field. Conservatives, the biggest supporters of capitalist interest, their creation or involvement in unions has lead to lacking power and cowardice on a level higher than liberalism, or it has lead to the breaking up of unions to collapse completely.

The main threats to unions have came from capitalism and decaying capitalism (fascism). Capitalism, it's big supporters, like I mentioned previously with reasons behind it, have been the main problem for unions. The decaying capitalism, the establishment of fascism, has been the second main threat to unions mainly because of the lack of fascist establishments, however fascism has done more against unions because under fascist establishment unions are promoted to be the enemies of the working people, which is a strong falsehood, however the power of fascist propaganda is strong. Fascism will target the communist party first, always as a way to weaken the working people, then they will target the other protections of the working people, like unions, regulations, and other progressive movements and organizations. These organizations will be stuck in a life or death struggle as William Z. Foster explained in “Communism Verses Fascism”.

Unions are the best protection for the working people under the capitalist system, however they should never be influenced or controlled by the very people who have a history of exploiting and abusing the workers, they need to be influenced and organized by the front line fighters for the working class, the communist party.

Capitalists are bleeding us dry

It is evident in our society that prices are going up with a lack of wages following through as well. This kind of inflation is leading to a large increase in suffering when it comes to the impoverished and a increase in crime as well as civilians do whatever they can to live. With this in mind, do understand something is horribly wrong, we as humans should not be subjected to struggling in what feels like slavery just to ask the most logical question, to live.

Our prices are increasing, our lives are becoming more expensive to live, and yet we are suppose to look at life and believe this is normal. The capitalists in our government, these bourgeoisie members of society, our leaders, our politicians, these corporations, their lobbyists, etc. They take our taxes and waste them, they give less to our education and medical than they do to our military and our ally Israel. A single tomahawk missile costs 1.45 million dollars and yet they feel they should make cuts in our social security, education, medical and promote going in to another war. These corporate lobbyists and banks push for bail outs that they take from our treasury. This is theft and they are ruining the working people's lives because of it.

We live in a society where the rich have taken, taken, taken and yet pointing out this theft is class war, but yet ignoring the poor and their struggles because of this theft is normal. These capitalists are bleeding us dry, paying more attention to their own livelihood and protection than the livelihood and benefit of the workers who gave them power.

This is where we as a society need to step up, we gave them power, and they're abusing it. We must rally, we must demand for a right to live, and we must demand where our tax money goes.

A world in war

As we, a civilian population sit back and watch our leaders make decisions on our behalf, we watch as war is glorified daily on the media across the world in countries everywhere. It is evident, especially for the U.S., that war is a motive for capitalists to increase capital through imperialistic actions, stealing from other nations, and billing the government, making weapon manufacturing companies profit off government funding. As we plunge the planet in to war, threatening countries with bombings and invasion and occupation, all we do is create more destruction as nations fight back, leading in to endless fights.

What has rose from these mindless acts of violence and destruction? The increase rise of terrorism as we enrage civilians of other nations with our killings, making people seek reprisal, leading to the endless War On Terrorism. A famous quote, that is true in every last detail, is “war is terrorism with a bigger budget”. The definition to terror, when it comes to terrorism by the Merriam Webster dictionary is “violent or destructive acts (such as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government in to granting their demands”.
For the U.S., who are our enemies? It seems like almost everyone. We hate and glorify attacking Middle Eastern nations, we glorify attacking African nations, we glorify attacking Asian nations. Out of all these nations we talk about invading or attacking, we seem to fancy glorifying attacking Arab nations, like Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc. Second to that we seem to love glorifying attacking Asian nations, mainly China, North Korea and Russia. It is evident in our media, not only news but our own entertainment like games where our main enemies are Chinese and Russian.

The problem with the war influence by the capitalist establishment is not only does it send the poor, who are struggling with life and poverty, to war in their name, but it also brings out the worse feelings and views in us. War influence by the capitalist establishment breeds a evil outlook, where racism and hatred prospers. Look at nations involved in war and occupation, those they fight are people they hate. A scary large amount of people in the U.S. hold hatred towards Muslims because the Media glorifies Muslims extremism. We never promote that Muslims are just like other religions when it comes to the extremists in every religious group, no, we promote only the bad side, which creates a generalization mind set. This only further proves the point that war influence under the capitalist establishment brings out hatred for whoever we wage war with, it brings out the worse side of humanity, as we mindlessly and blindly go in to battle with nations and people we've never met.

We as a human race must stop this before it gets out of control. We are leading down a road of our own destruction to our own extinction. We make the rich wealthy as we buy guns and bombs to kill each other with, we aim nukes at each other with our finger on the trigger hoping neither side pulls the trigger. The more we fight the more we make life hard for ourselves, if we wish to advance as a human race, our attention and war must be waged against those who send us, the working class, to mindless wars in their favor. The capitalist class must be stripped of power and influence.

Free trade agreements

Free trade agreements have been signed before, and have proven to be destructive to nations who signed with the nation who originally proposed the agreement. Like NAFTA, which has pulled in millions in profit to corporations in America but destroyed economic structure in Mexico putting thousands out of work or destroying competition for American corporations in Canada.

Well now a new threat is brought to the fronts on the issue of free trade agreements, recently the passing of the TPP took place by popular support from the Republican and Democrat parties, now we will be watching the signing of three free trade agreements, TTIP, TISA, TPP. These agreements have been approved as improving the American economy but have been discussed secretly by corporations involved with the agreement. The only details that is known about them are leaked documents from whistle blowers that was published on WikiLeaks, and so far the information known about them is not good.

The passing of these trade agreements will result in the shipping of jobs overseas along with slashing wages, removing of unions and regulations and the fall of foreign corporate competition. Next to that it will allow the American corporate giants to be able to trade national sovereignty for cheap tariffs, giving them ability to sue if other nations laws cut in to their profits. These trade agreements will give the ability for U.S. corporations to rise to corporate supremacy throughout the entire pacific at the cost of workers lives and nations economies.

We as workers must not let this go, we must push against these trade agreements and all trade agreements offered by corporations in the future. 

Donald Trump is a fascist

I realize that title may be a bit enticing, however if you look at Trumps politics and the politics of many famous fascist and Nazi parties, you'll see they are similar in many areas.

Donald Trump's whole political campaign has been riding on the issue of one policy, the immigration policy. Trump, like Nazis and fascists everywhere, believes firmly in building a wall to keep immigrants out and fund mass deportations, regardless if it requires majority of national funding. They also believe firmly that the mass majority of these immigrants are seeking to move here because they want benefits and to push their cultures on others. The reality however is the vast majority of these immigrants come to rich European nations and the U.S, because they're escaping war and economic collapse in their home country.

Trump along with Nazis and fascists support war as well, rather it is in the name of drugs or terrorism, they promote war even when they can't afford it. If you look at fascist politics, their stance on war is usually to bomb and/or nuke nations based on race or religious belief, like Muslim countries. This is because the religious belief of many fascists is right-wing Christianity, which is so far extremist that they support violent conversion to their religion and political belief.

Fascists hold strongly in the belief of merging corporations and state, this view is promoted heavily in their political ideology and was promoted under the rule of Hitler and Mussolini. Trump does not fall far from this tree, for he is a corporate business man and his rise to presidency will create the start of corporations merging with the state. 

The issue with private property

Ever since the creation of the ideology of feudalism, the idea of private property existed, this is why this same idea has transferred over to capitalism, because capitalism originated from feudalism.

There are times the words “private property” are over used when it comes to certain pieces of property such as phones, tablets, tv's, etc. These pieces of property are NOT private property, they're personal property, which is movable property.

The issue with private property is the abuse that takes place when land is taken in to another persons ownership. What has followed the creation of private property? What has followed this cynical thought is homelessness, where private property is more valuable than another persons life. Through private property individuals have been given the right to buy up houses and large pieces of land, for no other purpose except their own selfishness and/or greed. Doing this greedy people become landlords and rich people build mansions. Landlords, who have proven time and time again to be nothing more than a bourgeois individual, caring not for the person renting from them but the money paid to them, making the landlord wealthy off the lives of another. This is evident if you stop paying rent, that they will remove you from the property to get someone who will pay in order for them to keep the steady flow of cash coming in. Mansions, a disgusting display of ones gloating greed, these buildings, big enough to house hundreds, all for one individual or a small family. Land big enough to build schools, hospitals, neighborhoods, and so on, all consumed for one giant building for one extremely rich member of society that would rather horde the territory for himself/herself than for the benefit of all.

Some would argue that they own their house and that they have a right to keep their property. The fact is you don't, you may have been told the land belongs to you, but it is not impossible for rich members of this nation to take that land from you and justify the theft with saying it is being used for public domain. When in reality the land is taken by rich members of society and used to further increase capital. This actually happens often in many capitalist societies, including the U.S.

You can not trust capitalists with the ownership of land, they will only use it for the benefit of themselves and not for the benefit of society or those in it.

To me, the only solution to private property is collective property, where land is owned by a non-governmental group. Doing this property within a community is placed under the ownership of the entire community, making housing free to those who live in the community and work in the community. Doing this, the creation of a commune is formed. Communes are communities, like neighborhoods, full of people who live there and work within the commune to better it for all who live in the commune. It's the ultimate form of team work and solidarity that has ever been done in humanity. Those who live in a commune where collective property is key, own their own land that they personally live on, while other pieces of land, such as areas of farming or building, are shared with the entire community.

Private property must be abolished and replaced.

Universal healthcare

This is a subject that is a rather touchy, usually for some of the oddest reasons. Universal health care is something that is established in many socialist nations and capitalist social democracies. In the U.S. it's something that is despised and slandered.

I do not and can not understand why people are so against it, is it not the right thing to demand medical without fear of insufficient funds? The fact of not having universal health care is that when you allow hospitals and clinics to be privatized it makes the chances of receiving medical treatment extremely hard on the impoverished and homeless, along with this it makes the average person receiving medical treatment the equivalent of a commodity. It is not only logical, but it is also right to demand the right to live without struggle and suffering and this includes by default medical treatment for it is needed to live.

How it usually works in socialist nations and capitalist social democracies is taxes cover it. A socialist nation's taxed go in to important issues like housing, food, education, and universal health care. Capitalist social democracies do similar with their taxes however they also use taxes for more greedy profit motive issues like bailing out corporations and funding for profit companies. For universal health care, people in a socialist nation do not have to worry about paying just to receive treatment, they're covered till death because taxes cover medical. Capitalist social democracies usually vary on this, ranging from covering people to a certain amount, to covering them almost completely. People in capitalist countries like the U.S. usually say “well it allows people to reap the benefits of others”. The issue with that argument is that when you get medical treatment it means that you, a tax payer, are also covering your medical with your taxes. The other issue with this argument is that it lacks compassion, it holds more care for ones self than the compassionate care for others as well as yourself, and this is mainly an influence by capitalism, for humanity is compassionate but the greed motive and selfishness of capitalism changes this and brings the worse out of people.

However it seems no matter the good it brings the opposition to it is strong, mainly because the main ones against it is the biggest supporters of privatization and usually are the companies who privatize hospitals and clinics. They tell lies and slander it calling it “socialism” regardless that the fact socialism comes from the fall of the capitalist system through revolution, universal health care is only one of many policies of socialism. Even if it is from socialism, does that not mean that socialism obviously wants whats best for the working people? Does it not make it completely obvious that while capitalism carries greed at a higher statues than they do human life that socialism holds human life at a higher statues over greed? Regardless what they say, no human being deserves to be treated like a commodity or suffer for treatment because of the greedy capitalists who seek wealth than the well being of others. When someone speaks against universal health care, don't be subservient to their ignorance, demand what you know is right, demand your right to live without suffering, demand to live without struggle, demand to live. 

Marxism, revolution upon the mind brought out in to reality

From “What does it mean to be a communist? What is a communist?”

“You will become a communist only when you enrich your mind with knowledge of all the wealth created by mankind” -Vladimir Lenin

“Marxism isn't a collection of truisms or an assortment of ready answers to all possible questions. It is a method of knowledge, and its main features are materialism and dialectics. To be a materialist means to explain all things from real life, not from the abstract theories. To think dialectically means to investigate all things in their development and interrelation and to be able to see its various aspects. For understanding the Marxist method and for its application in life a communist needs to constantly expand his knowledge, not to cram, but to critically remake it and to choose the essentials. The same critically attitude should be shown toward the communist theory itself. It is necessary to compare theory with practice, but at the same time not to lose its core-the struggle for emancipation of the proletariat.”

As said above, Marxism is a method of knowledge, following the understanding of Marxism is such issues like civil rights, woman's rights, and so on. Understanding Marxism and these other issues that follow it create the beginning of what I call a “revolution upon the mind”. This is because the logic and facts of Marxism begin to destroy and overthrow oppressive and reactionary thoughts, thus through this method of knowledge begins to create the mind of a intellectual and begins to make a logical and revolutionary view of how to deal with issues in the world.

So once a individual fully understands Marxism and is a revolutionary minded communist who works everyday to push for the communist future, this influence transcends out in to reality. Once the communist influence has become the influence of ones mind, it spreads to others through the work of the communist party, till the entirety of the working class of a nation push for the communist future, and then revolution comes upon the capitalist state. This is the science of Marxism, the inevitable future for the capitalist state brought about because of Marxism. Its science, it's facts and logic, it pieces together and fixes issues that capitalists fail to fix, and while the communist seeks the benefit of the working class by dealing with the issues brought about by capitalism, the capitalists seek to destroy this science and silence it so it does not spread, enlightening the minds of millions. This way the capitalists can continue their order and profit off the suffering and exploitation of the working people. This will only lead to revolution, because the more the capitalists fight the inevitable, the more they see their system collapse before their own eyes, as the communist party advances, and the working class yells out for proletarian justice.

Immigration

The subject of immigration is a touchy one among many, but I shall be speaking on it from not only the most logical of stances, but the most compassionate.

When we speak on immigration, we usually speak on the most negative sides of it, without really explaining how and why people leave their home country to other nations. The facts are those who leave to another country usually do so because of chaos in their own home nation, such as refugees who leave Middle Eastern countries because of military occupation or civil war, or even because of climate change. Or, it's economic chaos like in Mexico when NAFTA was signed that collapsed their economic structure, rose prices, and put thousands out of work. The thing about those who leave a country to live in another, majority of the time it is influenced by chaos of their home country. It would be no different if the U.S. was facing military occupation from an outside invader or economic collapse like Mexico or Greece. Yet these same nations who usually are the cause for the reason refugees are coming to their boarders, treat the people coming to the nation as if they was nothing more than trash. We, as human beings, have went and declared other living human beings, no different than us, seeking safety from destruction as illegals and enemies.

So what has been the response to immigration? The U.S. has responded to it with fences and boarder patrol. Although, the 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke on immigration and talking about higher funding for boarder patrol and fencing. Ironic how he speaks against immigrants yet has hundreds working in his hotels and clothing production line. Although, I will say the most heartless response to it has been Australia's response to immigration, which was closing boarders, turning refugee boats away by gun ships, and taking those who made it in and locking them away indefinitely in concentration camps on Manus Island and Nauru. How Australia keep it's public from speaking on such a heartless act against others is it keeps two parties in high popularity who support the current immigration process and block any news coverage of what goes on in the concentration camps, including rape and child abuse.

Besides from the fact that turning our back on fellow human beings who seek sanctuary from wars, economic disaster and Eco-catastrophes is a brutal example of inhumane carelessness, there is worse views of how to deal with immigrants that is by the worse of individuals. These individuals are Neo-Nazis, who feel that allowing other cultures or races the right to mix with white communities or dominantly white nations is considered “white genocide” even though they seem to completely ignore that multiculturalism has been successful with evidence to prove it. They also seem to ignore that the nations they say should stay white only are the same nations who came there originally as illegal immigrants and killed off the natives to build their nations.

We have one planet to live on, we are all human beings, it's about time we act like it.

Fast food workers and wage slavery

When speaking on the subject of fast food workers and the recent call for raising minimum wage to $15 an hour, many are not fully analyzing the current situation. People feel minimum wage workers don't deserve more than what they're getting. Even regardless that these very workers are on their feet for 8 hours moving as fast as possible to make fast food fast, for 8 hours they do this, draining them of energy, pushing them to complete physical exhaustion.

I've studied these arguments thrown against raising the minimum wage and will expose the bias in them. One argument is that raising the minimum wage will create job lose, cut hours and increase price, even though Australia's minimum wage is over $17 and they have done none of the three mentioned. Another argument is that raising the minimum wage will make others feel cheated and demand more. So the workers who are on their feet for 8 hours moving around constantly using a lot of physical energy demanding for a raise makes others feel cheated. However the white collar workers in banks and in high corporate positions doing little to no physical energy yet earning far more than what minimum wage workers make doesn't make others feel cheated? So the less the physical labor the more they make? Doesn't that sound wrong? Another argument I've heard is why should “burger flippers” get more than our police, military, fire department. What many don't seem to keep in mind is that you can not compare these two. Military, police, and fire department are beyond different than minimum wage jobs. Military gets free food, free housing, free medical, a solid retirement package, free transportation to and from work, free clothes, free laundry, free tools for work, free training, free utilities, and free education. If you was to remove all that you'd see the soldiers would be getting far beyond minimum wage in order to do their jobs as soldiers, however these things they get is paid for through their extreme labor intensive work as soldiers. Police now on the other hand do not get as many benefits as soldiers, but however they do get brand new vehicles, advanced weapons, free military hardware from military surplus, free clothes, free training and medical care. Fire department is the same way as the police except the military weaponry or weaponry in general, they too get free medical care, free clothes and free training and new vehicles. Let's also keep in mind military, police and fire department is funded by tax payers, as to where minimum wage workers are NOT. Plus, corporations that bring in billions of profit have proven to be able to pay $15 an hour to all their workers and STILL be able to pull in billions in profit each year.

The only reason minimum wage has not been raised is to keep wage slavery strong in the impoverished communities. Wage slavery is the enslavement of the working people by privatization of land and goods in order for the worker to sell his/her labor for cheap in order to gain a wage for self preservation, thus making the capitalist profit off of cheap labor sold by workers. Wage slavery is driven by profit, the more wages the capitalist cuts the more a worker sells their labor for cheap in order to make enough to live.

Black Live Matter

Recently since police brutality has been exposed, thanks to the camera technology, and social media, a new civil rights movement called Black Lives Matter has been formed out of the influence of the old civil rights movement. The reason for this was to speak against the systematic targeting of black communities by racism and police. Following this was the creation of All Lives Matter, which has derailed the populace from what is going on currently and that is that black communities have been, for years, harassed and targeted by systematic racism that is so deeply rooted in our culture it appears normal, and because we see it as normal, when the black communities spoke against it the result was many white communities felt like they was being targeted and attacked, when the very opposite is true. The creation of All Lives Matter has derailed a honest civil discussion on race and justice for all.

What many don't seem to understand is the harassment that the black communities go through vs the white community. Blacks are frisked more each day than white members of society, blacks are always looked at with the assumption of either being lazy or being a thug, blacks are always assumed to like rap music, blacks are stereotyped to live in the ghetto or other areas that are riddled with drugs and gangs, etc. This is displayed in our media, movies, shows and music which has been used by our own nation as a tool to divide the masses in order to keep us fighting so we never unite to create progress in the name of humanity and speak of the crimes of our corporate empire. The establishment of systematic racism is as old as the creation of the nation, it's used as a tool to keep the populace fighting. Through this systematic racism it has lead to molding the minds of white communities to seeing black communities in this negative limelight, which would only lead to no surprise when white officers attack or harass black people and lie through their teeth because of their ignorance that blacks are “thugs” and “gangsters”. With that said, a report from the FBI stated before hand back in 2010 that Neo-Nazis and KKK have infiltrated the police force, which Neo-Nazis said in the documentary “Gang Land” they would do.

Right now the fight for justice of black lives and their communities is very important, as the fight for all and justice for all is very important. Although, considering the black community is targets in this nation because of our deep rooted racism in the culture of this nation, the fight must be focused on the ones taking the worse of it all. Black Lives matter.
