I hate that CPUSA is much more known than PSL, any serious org would have purged this guy from day 1 instead of being represented by them

In what sense did you lack freedom of speech the most? Didn't the massive participation in the workplace soviets and above allow the people to express their concerns and opinions? I would like some elaboration of these problems from your perspective
This was so believable it might end up being a prediction

The "middle class" is a quite successful attempt by bourgeois propaganda to create a new socioeconomic analysis that is not rooted in the actual objective role we have in our economy, as in workers who produce vs capitalists who own the means of production, but in a subjective metamodernist perspective where everyone is the same in the economic system and seperated simply by the money they make. People who are quite rich by owning land can still be considered middle class, while someone who works a white collar job like software engineering is also considered middle class despite the huge difference in systemic role. The fact that the "middle class" landowner is rich through exploitation is neatly tucked away in a layer of capitalist utopia where everyone can also become a capitalist if they simply try very hard, and no harm will be done by you doing that.
One goal of this is to hide away and try to make Marxism forgotten and left in the past, because it is the only true socioeconomic analysis that truly explains our reality and highlights the clear class distinctions that are inherent to capitalism which it can't exist without. Only Marxism really shows the contradictions in the root of capitalism, the constant clash between the proletariat which produces everything and keeps getting more and more able to do so collectively with a common goal, and the bourgeoisie who privately own the means of production and capital in general and force the proletariat to work for them by giving them a small part of the value they create. The latter keeps becoming a smaller and smaller class that is constantly getting more disconnected with the actual production process, at the same time that the former is becoming more collective than ever and has the potential to break away and self organize to produce with the goal of giving straight to the people according to their needs instead of the capitalist's antagonistic goals.
Another goal is to perpetuate the delusion that lower working class people who don't belong to the beloved middle class, can grit their teeth and work hard enough to get there, while the rest can enjoy their position within it and rightfully ignore the suffering of the lower class since they worked for and therefore deserve their privileges.
Exactly my thoughts, there was an interesting note in the marxists.org version in the first chapter but you could really write a whole new book to adjust it to modern data. It's impressive how much Engels can make from sources written by white colonizing racists.
Origins of the family, the state and private property by Engels. Really great read, many things make a lot more sense when analyzed dialectically.
Has always been this open with being fascist? Nazis in the comments aren't even getting called out for it
"Call to Activism" is a hell of a username for this, activism to them is probably posting this crap and making sure not to bother anyone in the real world
