  • Communists would never be given real power within a system that is built and enforced around the capitalists.

    The power the working class has doesn’t need any office or government legitimacy, it exists no matter what. It’s the power of producing everything a society requires to function and massively outnumbering the bourgeoisie. When the working class organises, material conditions are bad enough, and the right opportunity arrives, the working class is unstoppable.





  • Pretty much yeah, the state no matter how much it falls over itself trying to convince westerners that they are the peak of democracy and freedom, is nothing more than the enforcing mechanism of the ruling class that decides everything.

    The only thing that voting MIGHT affect for them is which part of the bourgeoisie is in favor and that’s why different capitalists are funding and pushing in many ways for different politicians instead of just having one party. A simple example would be the oil and gas industry which has a huge incentive to get the Republicans in power, while the “New Green Deal” capitalists who are investing in new energy markets want the Democrats in power. That still doesn’t mean that each capitalist’s power ends when the elections end, the power of their capital remain and continue to shape policy to their benefit while still antagonising one another.
