The evidence is overwhelming: workers are abandoning the Democrats and center-left parties around the world. Class dealignment is radically changing politics, and the Left needs a program to win the working class.
Time to vote communist people.

The black Marxist thinker Adolph Reed put it this way:
If the only actionable injustice is discrimination, then there’s not really any basis anymore to talk about economic inequality as a problem. That happens as the society is becoming increasingly unequal in economic terms.
The tendency of cultural and social elites to apologize for our good fortune and anxiously affirm our moral credentials does nothing to bolster the less fortunate.

"Divested of its ideological and organizational paraphernalia, fascism is nothing more than a final solution to the class struggle, the totalistic submergence and exploitation of democratic forces for the benefit and profit of
higher financial circles."*
[Quoted from: Michael #Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds, 2001]
"Befreit von seinen ideologischen und organisatorischen Utensilien, ist der Faschismus nichts anderes
als eine Endlösung des Klassenkampfes, die totalistische Unterwerfung und Ausbeutung und Ausbeutung der demokratischen Kräfte zum Nutzen und Profit der höheren Finanzkreisen."

A powerful union capable of winning disputes and workplace battles is the only way workers will be protected through the pandemic and beyond.

“Now to balance the scale, I’d like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences cause that’s all you ever hear about in this country is our differences.
That’s all the media and the politicians are ever talking about: the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That’s the way the ruling class operates in any society: they try to divide the rest of the people; they keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money. Fairly simple thing... happens to work. You know, anything different, that’s what they’re gonna talk about: race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other so that they can keep going to the bank. You know how I describe the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class... keep on showing up at those jobs.”
