I remember some time where this account actually posted Marxist theory in a fun way, now it has completely devolved into turning class issues into man issues and openly calling for matriarchy in all seriousness. She even agreed with a commenter who said that if Marx was alive he'd be in the Epstein files (he would tbh, but in the Fidel kind of way, not the Chomsky way). I hate how many of these influencers who achieve large audiences and could really raise class consciousness just throw it all in the trash and take the easy route of distraction and opportunism. I used to follow her but I can take no more of this shit.

I'm sure Ticket Tailor will personally capture carbon from the environment calculated exactly to match the carbon produced by the energy plants during the time they supplied energy to the server processing my order with the overpriced fees

There's one wishing OP gets fired over this

These people bitch and moan about gulags but they wouldn't notice if capitalists put them in one

When reading through Marx I can't help but think that capitalism has gotten even worse today than it used to be back then, meaning that the actual mechanisms that drive capital now need much more exploitation and in more forms than they used to.

Also I wonder if some changes of capitalism have also caused the working class to be so completely numb. Workers of the 19th and 20th century knew that the capitalists have opposite needs to them and only through fighting them could they stand to improve their situation. However today people just seem uninterested to really fight for themselves despite the proletariat being a much larger percentage of society compared to the past. I know I'm leaving out some important struggles going on when I'm saying this, but it still makes me wonder what made workers in the past centuries so much more class conscious.

I don't believe that much, if anything, that Marx critiqued about capitalism has changed on a structural level, but the flow of capital is so complex today, and the collected capital has become so much larger, that it begs the question if this has created some superstructures of capitalism today.
