Some strippers on Twitter said they think recession is guaranteed - because the strip clubs are suddenly empty.On Thursday (9 May), a woman who goes by @botticellibimbo on the platform said the following about the clubs: "The strip club is sadly a leading indicator, and I can promise y'all we r in a...
People talk a lot of shit about the lumpenproletariat and I don't understand why. Petty criminals, sex workers, gang members, and mentally ill people seem just as aware of what's going on as anyone else. The real lumpenproletariat that's impossible to organize is suburbanoids. I guess it was different two hundred years ago. I guess the context really is quite different. Now the state has cops to do all it's dirty work, while people who used to be dismissed as lumpen are forced in to a sharp contest with the state by cops and landlords.
The Black Panther Party argued that lumpen could form the material base for revolution within the imperial core. Revolutionary Intercommunalism is badass
Yes and that's why they started the rainbow coalition. They just demanded that anyone joining the movement leave the confederate flags and shit at the door.
Fuck the Confederate flag obviously, but I've never read anything about the Young Patriots Organization dropping it when they joined the rainbow coalition?
My bad actually I wasn't giving the Young Patriots enough credit:

That's rad, thanks!
Wish the "patriotic socialists" of today were as capable of self crit.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
They interviewed a former YPO member and one question was about why they chose the symbol and if he thinks trying to reclaim it now is a good idea and here's part of his response that I liked:

Lib theory of mine is that they're being funded by the Russians. Caleb Maupin definitely is. As for haz, I only have suspicions I guess. Patriotic socialists claim to be against American Empire, which would benefit Russia. They're extremely reactionary, which also benefits Russia. If patriotic socialists somehow took over America, everyone would be too busy killing each other here to bother them. But this theory might just be my hangover from Russiagate and I'm essentially writing this because unconsciously, I want to be ridiculed.
And the thing is, the people running the USA are already patriotic socialists. They're doing everything they can to MAGA. But the thing is, there's only so much you can polish the poisonous turd that is America. You can't deliver universal health care, for instance—something that would definitely breathe new life into the USA—without infuriating the national bourgeoisie, to the extent that they would coup your ass. But I digress.
There are absolutely reactionary elements of the left being fueled by Russia. Libs want to use Russia as a scapegoat and act like the US has some inherent moral high ground. But that doesn’t mean that Russia isn’t indeed doing a lot of the botting and disinfo that they’re accused of. They’re just not the only ones. But they’re not doing so for ideological reasons and should be treated opportunistically like any other capitalist state.
