Being an adult

sucks and people are assholes. Seriously who the fuck makes up something as complicated as a legal system, a banking system, and economics?? And all the paper and documents that accompany that shit?? And what kind of bullshit positions are accountants and officeworkers? And fucking suits and ties and dresses!?!? Seriously whoever thought that making a conglomeration of people greater than 100 and that we should stop running around killing things with spears is an asshole. Fuck that.

2 of 3. Watch this!

This is just an amazing documentary. NAFTA is fucked up.

Marxism doesn’t focus on consumption or distribution of wealth after it’s created. Everything about Marxism focuses on relations to the means of production.

The first error is a failure to understand wealth. Wealth isn’t a static thing that can be spread around. It has to be constantly created. This leads to an error in analysis of attributing to us the aim of wishing to “spread the wealth around.” We don’t want to spread around anything, we declare class warfare and advocate the seizure of the means of production by the proletariat. That means the proletariat, the ones who create wealth anyway but don’t own the means of production under the capitalist system and are thus exploited with the surplus value we create being appropriated from them, actually benefit from our labor.

And don’t think we want things to be good for everybody. Never attribute to a Marxist such a conciliatory view. We want to destroy the bourgeoisie and the system that is in their interest. We don’t want to reconcile class difference, we want to abolish class. Ultimately that is good for all the working masses of the world, but our interests are in no way aligned with those who exploit us.
