“the powerlessness created by bourgeoisie systems of capitalist exploitation might once again implode into far right totalitarianism”

Comrades, this is the core of the crisis at the heart of western civilization today and by extension, the heart of capitalism. The left has abandoned class struggle in favor of identity politics; any socialists who point this out have been tarred, feathered, and cast out.

It has taken the victory of Trump to open a chink in the west’s anti-marxist neoliberal armor and allowed comrade Sanders to speak out against this ideology that has reduced the left to a morally bankrupt shell of itself. Only by returning to true leftist ideals- to Marxist ideals, will the left be able to recover.

The only color that matters in a capitalist world is green. The only identity that the left should strive to build is proletarian identity. Dividing the proletariat against themselves with identity politics and racism is the time-old tactic of the ruling elite and their useful idiots.

We are approaching the 100th anniversary of the October revolution. History repeats itself.
