Morning Comrades.

Continuing with a thought posited on Monday, I wanted to further dismantle the charade of bourgeois “resistance” and other fantastical notions of anti-fascism as exemplified by the oceans of liberal tears now we have to disrupt their quiet in order to actually get the job done.

With the advent of the Western Empire’s ruling class fully embracing and enforcing their 4th Reich and the subsequent surface level opposition, personified by talks of non-violence, cute banners and state controlled opposition, a few words to cut beneath the fat, the oceans of their civility and dishonesty of their actions.

Stokely Carmichael’s infamous assertion that “in order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none,” cuts to the heart of a fundamental contradiction in the struggle against imperialism and capitalism.

This statement, while often interpreted as a critique of U.S. imperialism, also serves as a broader indictment of the European and North American ruling classes, whose historical and material interests are inextricably tied to the perpetuation of violence, exploitation, and oppression. To appeal to the morality of these ruling classes is not only futile but also a profound misunderstanding of the historical role they have played in constructing and maintaining systems of domination. The very concept of white moral superiority, a cornerstone of capitalist ideology, is a historical falsity designed to justify the atrocities of imperialism and obscure the true nature of class struggle.

With that, let’s get into a concise and sharpened approach to what we need to do now.
