#Solidarity

9 posts6 participants0 posts today

My opinion on #capitalism based on historical and current events.

Capitalism brings out the worst in humanity unlike #socialism that intends to provide everyone with basic human rights and stability.

A capitalist structure is incentive for the #rulingclass to be predatory to hoard more power and wealth at the expense of the #workingclass. This is the only way people become billionaires while there are so many in need.

This is why as socialist we ask for #solidarity in abolishing billionaires.

Oppressors Gonna Oppress. And get tossed:

Article by historian Alvin Finkel includes several examples from his book "Humans: The 300,000-Year Struggle for Equality". Including Sparta, Athens, Dark Ages, 1381 English peasant rebellion, etc.

"Ruling classes always practise divide and conquer. But the message from the past is that unity against oppressors can occur and no economic system, including capitalism, can be viewed as permanent."

#mutualaid request

part of the reason I've been #struggling financially is that I'm in $10k of consumer #debt, more than half of it at 30% interest. 2/4 of my accounts are over their limit.

my goal is to pay these cards off, bring my #credit score up, and finally start #saving. it's been scary having a #newborn + no safety net.

if you'd like to help me pay more than the minimums this month—it'll be an important first step!

Late rent deadline is tomorrow 12/5. We need about $1600 more to cover it + the utilities charged thru apt management (you literally can't even make a partial payment which is wild).

"We don’t think you fight fire with fire best; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism." - Fred Hampton

Fred Hampton was killed by Chicago Police on this day in 1969. The world needs more Fred Hamptons.

Le Monde · Grève historique au « Guardian » et à « The Observer »By Cécile Ducourtieux

Mike Rowe, of "Dirty Jobs" fame, uses a dubiously earned 'credibility' as a '#bluecollar guy', to smuggle anti-#worker, anti-#labor, anti-#union, and Libertarian-tinged conservative ideas into work which ostensibly glorifies those same groups of people.

Join us as we talk about how/why he has chosen this path.

TL;DR - Mike Rowe is making BIG BANK by spreading billionaire and industry lies about the people he supposedly speaks for. #unions #solidarity #unionstrong

Dear _ ,

🌟 I imagine a future where sex workers are unionized, united & safe. (It's happening now in Belgium.) Here's what I/we can do to make it happen in Canada: ✨ advocate for decriminalization of sex work & labour rights for all workers; ✨ support mutual aid & solidarity networks; ✨ uplift the voices & experiences of sex work & stigmatized people; ✨ encourage the adoption of accessible healthcare policies. We can contribute to a pathway toward dignity & safety 💪🏽💖 #Solidarity #HumanRights
