“We need capitalists because they have all the money”
Where exactly do they get the money from? Their own work? Of course not!
“I can’t get a job because of migrants!”
Employers are the ones who decide who gets a job or not. Blame them, not the immigrants they’re exploiting.
“I don’t want my tax money to go to bums/single mothers/immigrants/xyz group”
But you’re fine with bourgeois parasites freely taking a portion of your labour to enrich themselves?
“Full employment/universal healthcare/eradication of homelessness/cheap transport/anything good is impossible!”
No they aren’t.
“Capitalism isn’t perfect, but gommunism is le hecking evil!”
No it isn’t.
It is frustrating af. Working class people are allergic to class consciousness. And if they get there from an emotional gateway, only a minority of them will actually follow through to learning theory and understanding imperialism. This is how you get self-described “socialists” in the US stanning Kamala and punching to their left.
The only way is through earning their confidence, and that is a hard thing to do, but is where we must put our effort of investigation, it does not matter if we have the best revolutionary project, which is a matter heatedly debated among the various lines of Marxism, if none of us can reach the people, the important part for now is figuring out how to cut through nearly a century of propaganda, and then we figure out where we go, this is the hard task at hand for today
