The Opium of the Masses

Indoctrination.

Thanks it was heavily inspired by Yuyoi Kasama’s infinity nets. It took me quite a few attempts to achieve the effects you commented on. I rotated the canvas a bunch of times and tried to purposely avoid painting in a noticeable pattern. Love painting in this style.

Lol

More pixels plz

Yes workplaces should be a democracy, not the dictatorships that they currently are.

Capitalism does not self regulate, it consolidates. You should try reading Marx and Lenin’s actual writings, you seem very earnest and dont come off as a troll. There are multiple free audio recordings on YouTube of their works. Humanity must escape the all powerful driving forces of the profit motives Capitalism enforces or perish off the face of this earth. That process if it is to take place will appear extremely authoritarian to those who value profit above all else.

Investment Capital should not be a prerequisite for workers to own their means of production.

Yes it is, because authoritarianism isn’t the end goal of ML. You readily acknowledge that we currently live under an authoritarian Capitalist system, can you tell me what the end goal of this system even is? I mean most workers are one missed paycheck away from homelessness. While vast sums of wealth are horded by the top 1% of society with the only end goal being more wealth being extracted from the working class, with no actual goal besides more profit and greater wealth. The end goal of Marxist-Leninism is a classes society where each person contributes what they can to society and receives back what they need to live a fulfilling life. They are extremely different.

Because very few workers possess class conciousness due to decades of capitalist propaganda.

There is nothing authoritarian about workers owning the means of production, and for the record you live under the authority of Capital everyday.

So you’re saying you’d rather have Corporations and Billionaires continue to rob the working class?

It would increase the cost and also complicate the manufacturing process.

They should exsist, as a footnote in human history.

Yes. I get called one everytime i defend or advocate for anything left of Bernie Sanders. "

“Communism is the riddle of history solved, and knows itself to be the solution.”

Is as true today as it was when Marx wrote it almost 200 years ago.

That is epic!!! Mad props

Stopping smoking is easy, i used to do it every time my cigarette went out, quitting on the other hand is a lifelong task, but it is worth the struggle. I still crave cigarettes to this day, but dont miss being a slave to that addiction. I would literally collect cigarette butts off the ground and reroll them. If i can quit so can you.

My partner and I are so stoked to sign up.

They are products of their material conditions, manipulated into being the army of ignorance that protects the Capitalist status quo.
