The JIF peanut butter shortage is an amazing example of the Anarchy of Production striking again!
Pride and Juneteenth symbolize freedom and acceptance while also being used as evidence that liberalism and capitalism are now NICE (distracting from violence against other countries or communities).
After the launch of the new Cancel Culture doc, P and ACD opened up the phone lines for psycho females to blow up.

Whether they're lying or just don't understand, everyone on the Right and Left puts forward the wrong analysis of inflation.
State affiliation has to be disclosed for SOME media, but not AMERICAN state-affiliated media. Also, CAPITAL-affiliated media doesn't have to be disclosed. Why?
Space Commune's Fox (@FoxGGreen) and Alex (@AlexSPCM) join us to talk about the various updates to degrowth ideology and to address "the literature"...
Caleb Maupin joins us to talk about the direct history of what led up to the current Ukraine crisis, how thick the western imperialist propaganda cloud has gotten, and how Lugansk and Donetsk are a cause for optimism.
"The Global Respect Act" provides a basis for the US State to again enforce its own ideology on the world in order to wokely justify imperialism.
So this whole Joe Rogan thing has been absolutely ridiculous. We basically took on every aspect of it. Engagement is good, the ruling class isn't.
PragerU hired a new "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" version of Hasan Piker (named Will Witt) and he tries to tell people how evil communism is without defining even a single word. Impressive! IMPORTANT CONTEXT: Here's the stupid PragerU video we're responding to: http://www.prageru.com/video/communism-is-as-evil-as-nazism
The news is hyping the Ukraine situation as one purely of Russian aggression that could lead to World War 3. Is it that?

Why are people skeptical of COVID, vaccines, and official narratives?
Biden's first year hasn't seen a whole lot of change. Which is exactly what he said! Nothing will fundamentally change! When Amanda Gorman wrote her inaugural poem, she didn't seem to understand this... or how to make good poems. #NeverForget #January6
Caleb turns out to be right once again: Breadtube DOES serve imperialism (amzn.to/3HpEmyb). Also, it turns out they are not the first version of what they are. Let's talk about the fall of the USSR and factions in the communist parties!
To understand how to fight imperialism, we must first understand imperialism. To understand who to fight, we must understand class.
Abortion isn't about morals, it's about the ruling class imposing ideology.
The new version of the conspiracy chart - because the old version is... no longer accurate? Hmm!
Rittenhouse's trial for double murder is a glaring example of the media distracting and dividing the public with news.
Looking at all evidence, it really seems like the elections in Nicaragua are way better than the ones in the USA. Listen to Socialism Train: http://socialismtrain.com
The VERY LARGE supply chain DISARRAY causes Chapo Trap House DSA libs to mock regular Americans... There's much more to it, though.
Class is a material relationship over means of production. It is not an identity, moral alignment, lifestyle, ideology, it doesn't matter if you produce a physical product, or if you are good or bad. In fact, moralizing is not helpful.

A popular misconception is that communists hate America. This is wrong. We just don't like the US state - and no one else does, either!
Socialism isn't utopian when it's dialectical. But what is dialectics? Is it classist to talk about it? Is theory classist?
Socialism isn't utopian when it's dialectical. But what is dialectics? Is it classist to talk about it? Is theory classist?
The spectre of socialism as a utopian dream continues to haunt liberals, the left, the post left, and everyone who doesn't read. No more excuses!
Contrapoints is here to tell us how we're all a bunch of jealous d-bags and that communism won't work. Also, envy is apparently human nature!
