With an election looming in 2024, a stern talking-to is required for the too-many working class folks on the Left who will again be voting for the wealthy pro-corporate parasite that will get pre-approved by the DNC during the sham we call the primaries.
Yup, the solution is to take control ourselves, create a system run by workers for workers (meaning, by everyone for everyone) that eliminates money, the pursuit of profit, and price tags and provide each other with the full fruit of our labor -- meaning full access to the social store that we collectively produce in exchange for a reasonable share of the useful work in an area of endeavor that we have an interest and natural talent for. All the industries and services we rely on need to be socially owned to fulfill our collective needs and our reasonable wants as individuals. The industries and services we all rely on for this need to be socially owned, not privately owned. Once under control of the commons, automation and A.I. can handle most of the unpleasant and tedious drudge work, and that which cannot currently be fully automated can at least be made *less* unpleasant and *less* tedious by sharing that work and thus reducing the amount of time it has to be done by workers themselves.
I will soon be cross-posting my articles from Medium here discussing Classical Marxian Socialism here to explain this more fully.
Thank you for reading and supporting, as always! :-)
Hi Christofer, you share great ideas. Feel that most of us is just going along with following the current format of capitalism. I wonder what it would take to create a seismic shift to actually have change instead of everyone continuing to be in the rat race. X
As Thomas Jefferson noted in the Declaration of Independence -- and which I quoted and discussed in my article describing what Marxian Socialism is that I just posted before typing this message to you -- people have a stubborn resistance to change, too often preferring the proverbial devil they know over a potential unknown angel. As long as people are able to barely eke out a living, they will likely continue to tolerate capitalism, the system they know and have been trained all their lives via an endless influx of ruling class propaganda to instinctively defend and to see as natural to the world like the force of gravity, or as inevitable due to "human nature" being somehow fixed in nature rather than adaptable to whatever environment we are compelled to function within.
But eventually, things are going to go too far, and we are rapidly heading in that direction as the neoliberal sub-iteration of capitalism nears its end and the system itself plunges further into its twilight years. There is no guarantee the sleeping giant will wake up in time and accept what needs to be done, but it must not be due to those in our class who do understand this need stopped working as hard as we can to convince as many in our class as possible to embrace this change.
Do you think there's a solution? I think the capitalist system leaves many people struggling. X

Ya I guess is really to lead by example. :-)
