Communism is when no food (debunking every anti-communist talking point)
Car manufacturers are loading all kinds of electronics on to new cars, including spy software, and load up the cost for it as well.
I'd be happy if cars came with only the electronics needed for the car to function as transportation and cut out the digital dashboard completely. Also, an analog dash makes driving safer.

Introduction to Karl Marx’s "Wage Labour and Capital," by FREDERICK ENGELS in London, April 30, 1891.

"A society that rewards anti-social behaviour is a worse society" is a great line.
Makes you wonder why in our current economic system so many jobs that pay well require you to check your morals at the door while jobs where you are of service to others (like teaching) you are expected to bear a lower salary because you get to feel good about yourself at the end of the day.

... "The #Holocaust was motivated by #racism, #nationalism and #capitalism, as much as it was motivated by religious persecution. Anti-Jewish hate was not the driving force, but the tool wielded by power- wealth- and land-hungry elites. Just as anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate are tools wielded by power- wealth- and land-hungry elites in Israel and the US today."
"The Royal Conservatory approach to music is the capitalist approach"
I was marvelling over how 2 regulars at the free meal drop-in were playing raucous boogie-woogie style piano together.
I got up this grade 8 Conservatory piano. I could never do that.
Musician husband pointed out that Conservatory makes good workers who can follow instructions. Not creators. Not collaborators. Not community.

Never let anyone make you feel like a monster or a villain or "just like the [INSERT BAD PEOPLE]" for recognizing the necessity of violence in defeating oppression. It's the pacifists who are the real monsters and villains, or at least their collaborators.#socialism #communism #capitalism #marxism #racism #antiracism #colonialism #anticolonialism #pacifism #pacifist
"Violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect." – Franz Fanon (1925 -1961), From "THE WRETCHED OF THE EARTH" (1961)
"The whole economy will be drawn into one colossal undertaking, in which every thing has to serve one master. In capitalist society private ownership in the means of production ends with all except one person being propertyless. It thus leads to its own abolition, to the lack of property by all and the enslavement of all." -- Karl Kautsky.

"Along with the constantly diminishing number of the magnates of capital, who usurp and monopolise all advantages of this process of transformation, grows the mass of misery, oppression, slavery, degradation, exploitation; but with this too grows the revolt of the working-class, a class always increasing in numbers, and disciplined, united, organized by the very mechanism of the process of capitalist production itself." -- Karl Marx.
