ParticipantSadly Marcos the vast majority of workers don’t even realise they are living in Capitalism. That’s how insidious it is. To them it’s just “life”. They don’t even know what a social system is. They are just trying to survive.

ParticipantLooks like today’s working class can barely achieve Trades Union consciousness never mind class self-awareness. But I think it will come about in some flash. Some viral thing as was mentioned earlier.
Interesting to read Peter Joseph’s comments on Twitter of late. The guy is totally disillusioned. He’s promoting the idea of Universal Basic Income now. (Maybe he always did?) Also the latest word in his lexicon is “Structuralism” whatever that means. He thinks UBI is a short cut to Resource Based Economy. Without any need for class conscious revolution.
Just a shame Zeitgeist seemed to atrophy. I thought it was really going somewhere a decade ago. But they are neither democratically or politically organised.

ParticipantThe revolution will be dependent on the Nazi’s in the armed forces and police forces of every country in the world turning the other cheek to join the class war.

ParticipantBut surely the NHS was created as a buffer against revolution? It was an insurance policy for the Capitalist Class. Plus they’d realised by then they could make more money out of us if we had a modicum of education and maintenence.

ParticipantJust watched Michael Moore’s video response to the backlash created by his latest film “Planet of the Humans”. He stated that (according to sources at the National Institutes of Health) this is the beginning of a two year pandemic. Fuckin hell. I just don’t know what is real.

ParticipantLatest stats today.
Sweden (Population 10.1 Millions)
Covid 19 Fatalities 3674
Belarus (Population 9.5 Millions)
Covid 19 Fatalities 160
I don’t think either nation has had lockdown implemented. I know Belarus is a third world country so maybe doubtful but Sweden?
