Has the Left become a pseudo-Left? It must be reborn: a real force rejecting capitalism & imperialism, embracing socialism to fight fascism.

#imperialism #fascism #socialism #revolution #classanalysis

Late imperialism is turning fascist, bringing colonial violence home. Gabriel Rockhill argues against a liberal status quo & for a strong Left response: the path of socialist state-building for human development.

Media doesn’t make us violent, but it does teach us who matters — and sex workers have been systematically portrayed as disposable to justify their exploitation under #capitalism.

#revolution #classwar #copaganda #eachoneteachone

Sex Work & Vice City The revolution isn’t an action-packed thrill ride like in video games. It’s a long, slow process where one class builds itself up. And that begins with how we treat each other.

#GTA's fun, but the way it depicts #sexworkers, reflects cultural and economic forces that dehumanize them, while teaching us HOW:

-#Capitalism shapes moral judgements
-#Media influences who's considered "real workers"
-#Policing functions as a tool of social control

In order to effectively fight for workers' rights, it's absolutely critical for unions to adopt class consciousness as Steve explains.#Labor #Unions #ClassSt... The Problem With Unions

#Unions are where the power lies—but only if we build class #solidarity, not just corporate “business unionism.” Ready to push for class struggle unionism in your workplace/community? Comment “SOLIDARITY” and share this! ✊

The #CIA wages an “intellectual world war” against socialist systems. Gabriel Rockhill looks beyond just its history of death squads & coups, towards its core identity as a disinformation agency aimed at controlling public thought, as confessed by its own #veterans.

#CIA #socialism #disinformation

"The #CIA is a disinformation agency," said a 25-year CIA veteran. @GabrielRockhill examines its intellectual war vs. #socialist alternatives & how controlling minds makes military intervention easier. Full ep. drops Sat. 2/7 @ 8am ET.

Theory vs. Practice: the #Marxism dominant in #academia is actually anti-communist. Explore Gabriel Rockhill’s critique of "Western Marxism" as a revisionist, theoretical project fostered by imperial #social and #economic forces to replace #revolutionary practice with harmless academic discourse.

#Marxism taught in universities is often imperialist, revisionist, disconnected from parties/unions & favored by the ruling class to undermine real #revolutionary practice. Full ep. ft. @GabrielRockhill drops Sat 2/7 @ 8am ET. #Capitalism

Love #games. Love #media. But don’t let them write your #politics for you. Interrogate the flaws, spot the propaganda, and choose #solidarity over division. The work is slow, but it’s real. How will you change your perspective today?

Sex Work & Vice City The revolution isn’t an action-packed thrill ride like in video games. It’s a long, slow process where one class builds itself up. And that begins with how we treat each other.

The most radical act might be treating each other better. #Culture (and even #videogames like #GTA) can train us to hate & divide—but we get to choose. Consume consciously. Question the message. Reject #propaganda that pits workers against #workers. #solidarity #empathy #sex

We are at an inflection point in #history. Only a #grassroots collective action, outside of electoral #politics, will bring a sustainable positive change to #society. #Voting harder does nothing. You know this already. #Organize. #Educate. #Fight back! #eachoneteachone

In order for the working class to gain power, it's critical to build coalitions with unions and workers so that capital is impacted as Steve explains.#Capita... How To Disrupt Capital

Just #voting won't save us. #Organize and build coalitions outside of electoral #politics, #unions, #coalitions, general strikes, that disrupt and kneecap #capital.

"Why don't they just work harder?" Because the system isn't a #meritocracy - it's about maintenance of #wealth & power. Stratification #economics studies the policies and mechanisms that keep the wealthy wealthy and the poor poor.

The #FreeMarket isn’t a #meritocracy per stratification economics. It studies how systems are purposely designed for intergenerational #wealth & power, which is mostly determined at birth. #ClassStruggle
