" #Authoritarianism is when #socialists stop #capitalists from doing #capitalism"

I watched #HowToBlowUpAPipeline the other day. My TV is against the east wall, and were it transparent, I'd be looking across at Canada largest #oilRefinery.

The characters in that movie could be me, or any number of people I know who have been affected or killed by environmental contamination by careless #capitalists.

#DemocracyNow: “What About the Capitalists?”: Autoworkers in U.S., Mexico Call for Solidarity, Not Divisive Tariffs

Story April 08, 2025

"As workers brace for uncertainty and fallout from #Trump’s #tariffs, we hear from two #autoworkers, one in #Mexico and one in the United States. Israel Cervantes, founder of the National Independent Union for Workers in the Automotive Industry in Mexico, calls for unions across #NorthAmerica to unite against the tariffs, which have already led to layoffs from auto manufacturers. In the U.S., autoworker and UAW member Sean Crawford joins Democracy Now! on his work break to respond to the rhetoric and impact of the tariffs. 'They are always harping on foreigners, foreigners, foreigners. But what about the #capitalists? says Crawford, who urges international solidarity against #corporations’ attempts to sow division among #exploited #workers. “This nationalistic viewpoint has not been working for us and has resulted in a lot of these layoffs,' he says. 'I want to see us grow together as a #WorkingClass.'"

'What About the #Capitalists?' : #Autoworkers in U.S. & Mexico unite

We Never Had #FreeTrade

The #US. #tradingsystem since the 1970s has screwed #Americanworkers. But the main culprits are the #American #capitalists who devised the system, not #foreigners.

"When your work calls you to cover someone's shift... First of all.... I don't even want to work my own shifts."

And remember folks, Doing nothing IS a #revolution-ary act... 'all you have to do is put your hands in your pockets, and you have them by their #capitalists balls', to modernize #IWW co-founder BIG Bill Haywood's infamous quote.

Ps. You don't hate #mondays
You hate #Capitalism

H/t @SmudgeTheInsultCat #Labor #Unions need to be #OneBigUnion

Although short-sellers may do well this week, ultimately #capitalists do need customers buying their products. Even Henry Ford knew that. At some point will they pull the plug on Trump?

It's fun how #capitalists say "we can't have #socialism because people don't trust the state!" Mate, we don't trust the state because it is captured by #capital & serves the interest of the #capitalist class. It is precisely *because* of #capitalism that no one trusts the state.

Most killers and murderers never even raise a weapon.

Going Postal, by Terry Pratchett

Can we just like, work together as citizens to gather Trump, Musk, and all the billionaire silicon valley CEOs into a giant fish tank and pour acrylic over them, trapping their horrified expressions as an art piece and warning for other billionaires as a kind of Wonder World diorama?

#Economist goes OFF SCRIPT.
Even #capitalists are angry af.

Hi!

Dow, down 2% today, 5.5% in the last month, it was 8.8% lower a year ago. Another month+ at this rate: #BigHands will wipe out a year of #Dow growth.

Will #capitalists & #oligarchs (not the #broligarchs ) step in?

#nasdaq down 4% today alone, 11% over the last month, now only up 9 points in the last year. Less than a month more will wipe that.

#sp500 2.7%, 7.2%, now up only 9.7% over 12 months.

American capitalists: end that #fascism! Don't be a idiot.

"Gandersauce" by @pluralistic

Such plain speaking for such obvious truths...

"It's true that capitalists by and large hate capitalism – given their druthers, entrepreneurs would like to attain a perch from which they get to set prices and wages and need not fear competitors. A market where everything is up for grabs is great – if you're the one doing the grabbing. Less so if you're the one whose profits, customers and workers are being grabbed at."

and "...maiming workers is cheaper than keeping them in good health..."

The ISDS provision - Allowing companies to set up a business that will cause deaths, injuries and environmental damage, and then claim damages when told they cannot operate a business they know will cause deaths, injuries and environmental damage. PROPERTY RIGHTS ÜBER ALLES! Thanks, neo-liberals
