Morning Comrades.

Similar to 2016 when Trump first took office, the continuous and seemingly daily destructive actions that then enable the rest of self-proclaimed leaders of the Western World to apparently dismantle the sanctimony of the West only prove one reality and one reality only: The idea of our collective freedom under liberal democracies is an illusion purposely created for us all to be thankful to eat shit, work, and die- namelessly, hurt, scared and hunted for sport for a viciously, psychopathic, violent minority called capitalists.

Trump and his goons are not the harbingers of death, they are of the same cloth as Starmer, Macron, Merkel and now Merz, Meloni, the luncatics in the Baltic states and not to forget Obersturmbannführer von der Leyen. They all serve the same masters and they all employ the same tools to have us on our knees, fighting each other for nothing. The only material difference between Trump and “respectable” side of capitalism is that he laughs in our face while he fucks us, because he knows he can. There is no justice, accountability, reason, morality or ethics in a system that is run by capital and capital alone and as long as you can be rich, the pretence we call a justice system only applies to us, never them.

3 months into the second Trump term we already have the usual bullshitters from the “respectable” side of capitalism try and funnel dissent, money and energy into their political infrastructures to quieten the ever increasing rage, still held back by fear and illusion of potential reformism, all across the Western world. It’s been 80 years since the end of WW2, when the new realities that had been building momentum since the Industrial and French Revolutions took material shape and aside from the a few “socialist” hick-ups in the trajectory of modern day Capitalism, the line has held. Total submission to the accumulation of their capital, no matter what. What’s a little sexist, xenophobic racism with a genocide on the side for Zuckerberg’s 4th fucking Yacht eh?

All this rage leads to only one logical conclusion and its not new. The Western world is mythologized as the bastion of democracy, individual freedom, and moral progress. This ideological construct—rooted in the liberal tradition—presents Western democracy as a unique and superior form of governance, where citizens are granted inalienable rights, protected by the rule of law, and empowered to shape their destinies through political participation. This narrative collapses under the weight of its contradictions. Rather than functioning as true democracies, Western states operate as violent and exploitative apparatuses serving the interests of capital. The imagined rights and moral superiority celebrated in the West obscure a material reality of imperialism, economic coercion, and systematic repression that define capitalist rule.

Don’t think for one second this is reformable, worth saving and quickly understand how fast their empire of shit can and will burn.
