We are constantly told that solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing poor and working class people in the U.S. do not exist. Meanwhile, billions taxpayer dollars are being used to fund the genocide of Palestinians.

That very money could have ended homelessness in the United States.

Money for our needs, not the U.S.-Israeli war machine!

    Honestly, as an American, I’ve avoided diving into Marxist ideas because they tend to carry a lot of ‘baggage’ here and are seen as a touchy subject by many.

    the baggage was intentionally manufactured.

    there was a big push from the american government to suppress leftist political views because they were gaining groundswell political support during the great depression.

    that’s why roosevelt did the new deal; the american government trained, paid and armed political violence in western europe & latin america to prevent them from going full socialist immediately after ww2; and did nothing but a slap on the wrist to the people who perpetuated the red scare.

    it’'s in their interests keep you ignorant and make you think that leftists are the bogeyman.
