Elon Musk purchases Twitter for over 40 Billion Dollars on April 25th 2022. The Left decries this as an end to their safe space, the Right celebrates this as a victory for Free Speech, but as your local Marxist I vehemently disagree. Unless Musk eliminates the algorithm that prioritizes echo chambers then we will not have free speech. To have free speech, we must have all opinions interact with ea...

TikTok irritates me as it is, but Libs of TikTok is a new breed of stupid. I critique a tiktok called "how to abolish capitalism 101" from a Marxist perspective.

My reasoning for the decline in factual information being valued is the manipulation of social media. I believe that the wealthy classes of America created our current social media algorithms to divide people. They experience "culture shock" when they encounter groups and people other to their own. Which explains not only stupid online arguments, but the fast tracking of radical ideals. Want to se...

The first casualty in war is truth. The tensions between NATO and the Russian Federation are thick enough to cut with a plastic knife. But, there is not one good guy or one bad guy. Rather a collection of bad guys with motives that will only get innocents killed.

Gas and oil production needs to be nationalized to prevent price gouging and private companies taking advantage of working class Americans.

The United States has more to lose than it has to gain playing Geopolitics with Russia via Ukraine. America stands to lose millions, as well as suffer inflation and poverty unknown since 1929.

I explain why NATO is absolutely terrible for the nation and the people of the United States. A large sum of money and resources that could make our lives better is used to finance the defense and well being of an entire continent we don't even live on.

Remington Arms may have to pay Sandy Hook Families over 70 Million Dollars in a settlement. This all hinges on a single judge to approve or deny the motion. I discuss what this could mean for the Second Amendment, what firearms culture would look like in a socialist America, and why I feel this decision will make the wealthy have more power if the settlement is allowed to go through.

The execution on Amir Locke is a complete break of the notion "Innocent before proven Guilty" that our justice system is based on. It is also a slap in the face to all legal gun owners. Not to mention a major hypocracy with the NRA remaining silent on a LEGAL GUN OWNER getting murdered during a no-knock warrant that wasn't even for him.

I look at what is considered fitness is our society from a Marxist lens. In doing so I compare what Fitness actually is; functionality, and health.

In a socialized society, gyms would be collectively owned where classes, membership, and trainers would not be blocked by monetary blocks. This would create an info...
