How do you like that 8 hour day?
The way things are going you will be lucky to have one.

One of the books Alexander Berkman wrote.

There are sooo many things that have been hidden by those that rule from the dark.
Not that you would know it, they started teaching everybody that they have the best education money can buy while teaching less and less what it was to be free of such manipulations.

But, you knew that, didn't ya?

They don't have to burn books when nobody reads them.™

This bare selection of what is out there, but will never be taught to anybody that doesn't already know to look, may further your advance down the path to freedom.

Original ideas are hard to come by, perhaps, if you look outside the walls put in your mind to keep you slaving in the mines, you will experience one.

Are you are tired of paying your masters to bomb children in far away places?
Perhaps it is time you pushed back on that.
A simple way that anybody can do that is to hoard your coins.
A dollar of change in your pocket is a dollar of value out of the banksters' pockets that force us to pay them so they can play in the amusement parks from hell and shop in the human grocery stores.
'Aint that fresh?'

Metal in your own possession will always have more intrinsic value than digits on a bankster's ledger.

What's so civil about war, anyway?

Sometimes I like that 8 hours in a day, sometimes I don't like it as though it turns into 16 hours...

The workers do all the work.
From the mine to the front door.
If we cut the banksters out of the loop we could work 20 hour weeks, retire at 50 to a jetset lifestyle, but instead we let others set the rules for us.

I see the replies by you are all downvoted. What the heck is that about?

I don't know, the fella hasn't told me.
Some inadequacies can only be assuaged by poking people that have no recourse but to take it.
I'm sure he has a good reason.

8 Full hours!?!? :P

I really don't think I even put in even half of that.. well, maybe, but i don't consider just sitting and waiting for prices to move as hourly work..

😊😎🤙

I work 8 hours a day and earn 20 dollars a week. Welcome to Venezuela.

I worked a carnival in mexico for 12usd a day.

for realzies ? :)

Yeah, I made it almost a year before I jumped ship and moved to acapulco.

Communism can sound appealing for someone that has never experience it, but it has always devolved into a oligarchical kleptocracy where only the suckers actually work hard

It’s amazing how easily just a generation later or so the masses can be brainwashed and it’s not just forgotten but begged for by millions upon millions.

My parents and grandparents endured a lot of hardship under communism. However socialism has some benefits like free ( or almost free ) healthcare, I wouldn't want to live in a country that you're more scared for your bank account than your life when you go to the hospital cough USA cough

My mom had a DNR to prevent medical bills from taking all her money and property..

Any 'communism' that used a currency wasn't communism.
It was crapitalism wrapped in some bs marketing deceptions.

In communism we go the warehouses drop off what we made and pickup what we need to make it until we can get back to the warehouse again.
Small manufacturers make everything, mostly at home.
Large manufacturers do exist, but are co-ops and not hierarchies.
One man can't fire you, but the collective can.

Did you ever learn about Kropotkin in skool?
I didn't.

Orwell couldn't imagine that we would beg for the panopticon and be disappointed when nobody is watching.

I guess it depends on your definition of communism.
The communists I follow thought you shouldn't use violence to force people to do things they don't want to do, but that is not what the common perception of the word is in the greater world because the term was stolen to disguise the doorway out of the tyranny we have.

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-there-is-no-communism-in-russia

my definition is extracted from history. My country went through violent repression, censorship and other shit during communism. It's easy to float ideals of non violence while you are not in power and dealing with dissent.

my definition is extracted from history.

Does that history predate this: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/franz-mehring-the-bakunin-marx-split-in-the-1st-international

bottom line is that communism brought endless suffering to millions of people just in my country. Talks about ideology are hollow without looking at how communism actually played out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectivization_in_Romania repressing the peasantry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube%E2%80%93Black_Sea_Canal forced labor on megalomaniacal projects
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-education_in_Communist_Romania unspeakable suffering for political dissidents
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra%C8%99ov_rebellion violent repression of the common people ( that communism should in theory benefit )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_Revolution the price in blood the people in my country had to pay for freedom.

What I am telling you is that any ruling system that uses violence to attain its goals cannot be communism by the definition of people that were there when the word was being defined for the modern era.

Marx was a tool of the banks.
Bakunin split with him in 1868.
The definition you are using is the bankster definition.

You know marx's name because the banksters want you to know his name.
The same reason you know this book, but not this one.

The bohlsheviks, the propagators and popularizers of the definition you use, coopted the rhetoric of communism, but ruled as authoritarians, the antithesis of working together to improve the common lot in life.

You can read about how that played out on the battlefield in this book: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/voline-the-unknown-revolution-1917-1921-book-one-birth-growth-and-triumph-of-the-revolution.

Tyranny is the opposite of communism.

the ruling party was called the Romanian Communist Party, their words not mine. I may not fit your definition of a clown, but if I call myself a clown and others start calling me a clown, then ... you get the point :)

the labour force is what lifts the capitalist up

Here is a short book on crapitalism.
If you could read chapter 9 and tell me what is wrong about that math, that would be a big help.
