Politically dying

Many Americans have a lacking enthusiasm to involve themselves in political matters. There are actual reasons behind this dilemma. It's not because of the new generations personal care for political matter, no, it is because of how we have presented them, with their tedious endeavors vs. how we have presented social enjoyments and pacifism.

Your average teenager and young adult avoids political matters and substituted their time for personal benefit and entertainment. This is evident with the new culture of the young seeking to party more rather than holding to a political movement or cause. American media has presented politics to be dull, and depressing, which is not surprising being it is just a endless fight between two very similar parties that present themselves to be opposites. However, they have presented parties, drugs and sex to be escapes from these issues. To be the only solution to entertainment and enjoyment. However, when it comes to political issues, those who dodge it will soon make a comment on it, and when they do, their comments are full of reactionary views originally influenced to them by the oppressive capitalist regime. It is not surprising to see the silent majority of the young listening to the ignorance around them, absorbing it, and taking it as their own philosophy. While with this, there is the issue of those who are politically active and who have taken up positions under the influence of liberalism and conservatism. Conservatism makes individuals who are already politically active militant under right-wing philosophy consumed with capitalist nationalism, and ignorant reactionary understanding of foreign and domestic policy. Liberalism makes political individuals pacifists under the philosophy of “coexistence” while preserving and protecting the abusive capitalist class that oppresses all in the nation. Along with a lacking understanding of the conditions in which the very system implements upon them.

For progress to advance, the young generations will need to face a political awakening brought from the far-left. Reactionary views, cultural American hegemony, sexism, racism, individualism, opportunism, all of it will need to be crushed by the powerful revolutionary theory of Marxism in order to bring the young generations in to a understanding of the Marxist analysis when it comes to the destructive nature of capitalism. For when this is avoided, the generations will continue to be politically dying, and the class traitors and enemies of the working class will continue to hold power. 

The "anti-American" rhetoric

What's a famous term, usually among the right-wing, is anti-American. This term is thrown around constantly and has been sucked up by right-wing influence. The right, guided by extreme capitalist nationalism, is willing to deem anything that is slightly different to old American culture as “anti-American.”

When workers speak out heavily against capitalism, when people riot over racism, when people speak against politicians warmongering, or even when minority groups call for vanguard and action, the right throws out the term “anti-American.” However, what is very ironic is they never use this term when fellow right-wing militias say they will stand up against the government. Why is this? Well, it is simple. The right-wing uses this term, not because they're using it correctly, but because they use it as a tactic to silence any opposition against their old traditionalist views of how America should be.

Lets use the communist movement as an example, the right-wing demonizes all American communists as “anti-American” but in reality the American communist is not anti-American, for the American communist supports the working class in their struggle against the capitalist regime. How can an American communist be anti-American if he backs over 90% of the population? In fact, how can they be anti-American if they seeks to benefit the majority of the population with the destruction of a abusive system that thrives off exploitation and complete submissive obedience of the working class. An anti-American wouldn't waste their time with no future United States, a actual anti-American would hate all associated with the nation and seek nothing but the death of all in it. This is why when the right-wing tosses this term, they have no realization of what they say. 

Free speech: Benefit the workers, silence the discrimination and bias

When we speak on freedom of speech, we love it unconditionally. Freedom of speech does two things, it benefits the workers, and, as an opposite effect, it halts progress and keeps us in the dark ages. So let's fully detail these two effects.

When it comes to the benefiting of the working class, freedom of speech can protect the working peoples right to call for action, or demand better treatment. Freedom of speech can even open the political platform for working individuals to expose politicians bias and warmongering. It can even protect workers ability to call for unionization without silence.

However, the opposite effect is it protects bias, ignorance and discrimination. How do you think, after years of cultural advancement, fact checking, and truth being told that we still have racists, sexists, and so on. It's because freedom of speech protects those individuals so they can speak their toxic message to young minds, allowing those young generations to go up just like them, and pass it on to other young people. As an example, FOX News got caught for lying back in 2003, and they claimed freedom of speech, and got away with it. Since then, mainstream media has been allowed to lie and misinform the people for years with no reprimanding. Politicususa reported that 60% of FOX news “facts” are actually lies. Not just that, but it allows individuals, mainly politicians, to use fear tactics and warmongering to promote killing or hatred.

When people talk about communists, saying they want to take freedom of speech away to oppress and control the population, that's a giant lie. What communists do want to do, is silence the bias and end the discrimination. To promote hate and death makes you a horrible individual, and every rational minded individual will agree. To plague the mind of a young child with toxic influence such as hating your fellow brothers and sisters, even possibly kill them, to us, should make you a child abuser. Communists only have an issue with freedom of speech because it protects the worse influence to be spread to many people. Even under socialist societies civilians was and are allowed to criticize policies from government, speak on many issues, etc. The only thing socialist societies restricted was discrimination and bias. Even socialist East Germany was allowed to make jokes that was boarder line anti-government. To advance the population as a whole in the workers state, discrimination and bias must be silenced while scientific fact and truth is promoted throughout the state both in education and public. 

Capitalist dictatorship: Pseudo democracy

The illusion of democracy under the capitalist system is strong mainly from a lack of information and heavy promotion of capitalist nationalism. When the masses do not research on the very election system their country possesses, and instead cling to the lies and nationalist speak promoted in the capitalist mainstream media, they leave themselves open to misinformation, and unawareness of cheating.

This pseudo democracy can be traced back all the way to the founding fathers. Historians from many universities, including Edward Ayers from the university of Richmond, have studied the founding fathers and found some information that is not common knowledge in our education. What was found was the founding fathers did not support direct democracy. In fact, they supported the establishing of a system where the people picked electors, and the electors picked a president. Nothing more than what we have today with the electoral college. Doing this, it was the first step in to securing the capitalist dictatorship, and establishing the illusion of democracy. What has also been found was the main opposition to direct democracy was the slave states, for being they was very powerful, concessions was made to bring them in to a united state. This was also the first step in to the establishing of white supremacy in the U.S.

What is the electoral college? It's a system in which the U.S. uses to determine the next president of the U.S., it's mainly retired politicians, and politicians relatives. Many people think they have to pick who we choose, when in fact, the U.S. archives and research administration reports in 24 states they're legally allowed to pick whoever they want. Which has happened 80 times. Politically, it's impossible to remove the electoral college, as many people have been trying to do it for over a century.

The capitalist dictatorship has used many practices to secure their power. From election fraud to bribery. But one practice that's constantly used, is a main success for the capitalist class, and that practice is gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the legal practice of determining the next house and state legislators before the election happens, usually years in advance, through the use of allowing parties to redraw districts to benefit their outcome. Being America is a two party system, both parties participate in this practice constantly.

Because of our corrupt system that secures the capitalist class forever in power, and allows legal exchange of money and corporate influence to politicians, Washington Times reported that through study, the U.S. no longer fits the label of a representative democracy, but now fits the label of an oligarchy.

In America, the promotion of elections and democracy is nothing more than an illusion, and what we have today is nothing more than capitalist dictatorship. This is why when liberals and Trotskyists talk about changing the system through election, they lack the understanding that you can't change a system that is permanently rigged for the capitalist class to win. The only change the U.S. can ever have, is through vanguard work, and the revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist state. 

Capitalist hierarchy and work place oppression

Capitalist Hierarchy:
The Capitalist hierarchy under the capitalist society can be summed up simply as a parasite feeding off his victim. Capitalists in the capitalist society are some of the wealthiest individuals who own the means of production, supplying them to businesses they own, in order to turn a profit by using workers to their benefit. Labor creates all value, and the value of production is heavily undercutted in order to separated profit from wage, in fact there is a reason profits are so high while wage is so low, it's devaluing the value of labor to where wage does not match, leaving the rest to the profit of the capitalist. Labor is entitled to all it creates, the labor of the workers is the valuable source of what keeps the world running, and their labor deserves to be respected. However the capitalist does not do this, for respecting the workers labor involves lowering profits to benefit the workers, which the capitalists greedy intentions will not do. The capitalist holding his position of boss is exactly the representation of a parasite, for the labor production of the boss is none-existent, leaving his only source of income to devaluing the value of labor, paying wages that don't equal labor value, and reaping the rest in the name of “profit.”

Work Place Oppression:

On the 40 hour work week, new studies show that 40% of the work week is spent actually working, while the rest of the time is wasted usually on pointless meetings or sitting idle till clock out. However, it use to be worse, where workers only had Sunday off, only to attend church. Labor unions soon fought to get more days off, which when won, the work hours slowly decreased more and more as the years carried on. However, they made a slow increase back in the 1980's, and today they have even exceeded the 40 hour work week, to where a study that the Washington Post reported on, said most workers work 46 to 47 hours, and others say they work more than that. In fact, one study found that full-time workers usually work a total of 60 hours, that being 12 hours from Monday to Friday, or shorter weekends where most of the weekend is spent working.

On the subject of internship, there is the great myth that interns work hard and gain skills. This is lies, most interns in America work almost as much as secretaries or full time workers. Interns are a way for capitalists to exploit young people for free labor.

The Department of Labor says the only times a internship is legal, is:

• The internship is to benefit the intern, not the company
• The internship is not a tryout for a job at the end
• The intern does not replace other workers
• The internship is genuinely educational

Most internships in American businesses are breaking these rules.

People try to argue that internships make you more employable, when a recent study shows that unpaid interns are just as employable as individuals who have never did an internship.

Illegal internships aren't the only thing businesses are doing, there is also illegal hiring of freelancers.

A business my be working a freelancer illegally if:

• They impose time and weeks for the freelancer to work
• Disallow the freelancer from another job
• Require job specific training
• Treat the freelancer like staff

Nearly 1 in 3 workers in American businesses are freelancers or temp. Businesses hire freelancers because they're cheap, keeping them from benefits they're entitled to, cutting back in wages and taxes, having the business profits go up significantly.

What also needs to be talked about is the wage theft that happens daily in America. Both the wage theft of working off the clock, and the wage theft of corrupt pay negotiations. Businesses have promoted the lie that saying how much you make is illegal, it's not, and honestly telling how much you make can help you in your favor. From years of lies we made it a taboo in our culture to speak about what we make. Promoting how much we make can help us, because if we don't know what our colleagues make, we could be getting ripped of from being unaware what the going rate for the company is. Promoting how much you make, tips pay negotiations in the workers favor.

The communist movement and the anti-war movement

The communist movement has stood firmly on an anti-war stance. This has been evident for years, dating back to the communist movements in Tsarist Russia who stood against the first world war.

When it comes to the communist movements anti-war stance, what must be highlighted is the reasons why to hold this stance. The communist movement (with only the benefit of the working class in mind, both nationally and internationally) stands against war to keep soldiers from dying in far off lands, and to keep civilians from being casualties in the nation that has war waged upon. War under the capitalist class is nothing more than a tool for the wealthiest class to increase capital through the actions of imperialism. The capitalist class will push for war with nations they demonize, they will push for war before they push for diplomacy, and they will yank the support of the working class through fear and warmongering. Communists internationally must, in order to protect the working class, and push against the capitalists greedy intentions, stay anti-war.

Now with this said, in order to clarify historical context, the communist movement may be anti-war, but it is also pro-self defense. This is clearly seen during WWII when the Soviet Union joined the war against Nazi Germany because of Nazi Germany's invasion of Soviet territory. Foreign aggression against the workers state is an act of war, and the workers socialist state has a right to self defense in order to protect its people.

Being the communist movement is anti-war, this does not mean it's anti-class war. Obviously, as history shows, it's pro-class war. Because as a way to get rid of the war promoting parasites, the liberation of the workers from war and exploitation must come from the workers themselves. As long as the capitalist imperialists promote war, the workers will forever be subjected to war fighting for the bourgeoisie interest. This can only end with the capitalist state's collapse through workers revolution guided by the communist movement.

So to make it simple. The communist movement holding its anti-war and pro-self defense stance is for the benefit of the proletariat against the actions of the capitalist class, as is the pro-class war stance is to benefit the proletariat with the removal and destruction of the bourgeoisie and the bourgeoisie state. 

Meninism

Meninism, from what is told, was apparently started as a satire term or parody of feminism. Either way, it's a disgusting philosophy next to that of the MRA philosophy, that is no different than that of fascism with its swapping of roles to make the oppressor appear as the oppressed. Its influence is destructive upon the working people, for its influence is strong and can mold young individuals in to believing this oppression against men is real.

People talk about meninism as if it's still a satire term to this day, however there is a scary large number of individuals who literally identify as a meninist and take it seriously. Meninism carries the view that men are oppressed, that women have “special privileges” and that we live under “matriarchy.” Anyone who has grasped the basics of feminism, history or even reality, knows this is incorrect. Most Meninists I've seen seem to make the mistake between chivalry with matriarchy, chivalry is not matriarchy. Most meninists and other sexists make this mistake because they don't understand the chivalry they're seeing, they're only use to the common chivalry, such as pulling a chair out for a woman or opening the door for her. What people are not understanding is chivalry is not part of matriarchy, it's part of patriarchy, for it's main view in use is to be nice to a woman as an invite to flirtation and/or sex. Because of this, the creation of the “friendzone” and “nice guys” has came to be known, and because of this the reply from feminists was “Women are not machines to put kindness tokens in to and have sex fall out.”

What meninists don't seem to get, is that if this country was such an extreme dystopia style matriarchy, they wouldn't even be able to utter that term, speak for mens rights without savage police brutality, or hold rights. That's how you know these people lack a basic understanding of reality, of history, and of feminism. No different than fascists, swapping roles to appear as oppressed, making lies and bias appear as facts. Nothing different than Nazi race science, they take this pseudo-intellectualism and use it to benefit themselves by spreading it to people just like them, ignorant and hungry for any right-wing style views that back their personal philosophy.

With the historical facts of women's suffrage, and today's continuance of abuse under the patriarchal society with a culture heavily influenced by misogynistic and sexist thought. To utter the term meninist, as if there is a realistic oppression against men equivalent to that against women is heavily reactionary and sexist in its line. It's not surprising to see the philosophy of meninism is similar to that of the philosophy from the MRA group, because the term originated from the MRA, and is nothing more than an extremer version of their philosophy, for it carries a stronger declaration of relentless war against anything remotely progressive in the name of feminism.

I will never hold my tongue when I say, meninists are a result of reactionary thought within our society built on ignorance. Their existence is a clear sign of oppressive people clinging to destructive thoughts in order to fight against progressive action. And as long as they take their title with seriousness, I will be serious when I fight against their destructive influence, thus the reason for this article. 

The American people, 2016 election, liberal pacifism

The American population is the most divided of all people among the international working class. This is forever evident with the upcoming 2016 election.

We have followers of the right who back the fascist that is Donald Trump and others who are less extreme that follow Ben, Marco, etc. While on the left we have the democratic liberals who follow Hillary, etc. And these pacifist pseudo “socialists” that back Bernie, believing he is a socialist while he spews liberalism to the populace. His anti-Marxist rhetoric, his slander against the Soviets, calling them “authoritarian” because it backs up his liberal philosophy, making others believe that his version of liberalism is socialism when it is no where close. Socialism is not only the implementing of socialistic programs, it takes the destruction of the capitalist state, the removal of the parasites that is the wealthiest class and the redistribution of wealth among the people. His lies, his protection of the capitalist state is misguiding the workers deeper in to liberalism and to the support for the class traitors. And these pseudo socialists are falling for it, plagued with liberal pacifism, scared to back a revolutionary worker party, too afraid to put in work that would call for worker liberation.

The thing about the American people is they feel if they can't vote republican or democrat, they feel there must be another party to vote for, not believing in themselves, not looking toward revolution, but towards keeping the capitalist establishment in the sake of believing in it's moral guidance. Liberal pacifism made leftists submissive to the capitalist order. The conservative militancy made right-wingers in to militant capitalist supporters to fight against others based on race and religion.

This is why I have much support for the communists in the U.S., for they never surrendered their vision to worker liberation. Despite the actions and propaganda of the class traitors and social-fascists, they keep to the fight for worker liberation going, and because of the division among the masses their work is definitely difficult. It will take the work of the communists to destroy the capitalist propaganda and unite the workers of the U.S. for worker liberation.

The workers must be aware of the capitalist interest, their support for greed and view of the worker as nothing more than a commodity. The working people must direct their right-wing militancy against the capitalists who view them as tools, and must give up liberal pacifism and gain courage to demand action for the working class. In short, for the working class to liberate themselves and advance, they must give up right-wing fascism, and the social-fascist liberalism.
