1/8Just like any other religious cult would, capitalism has been at its final stage for sometime, and it has turned itself into a doomsday cult.  Believers would scream that the end is near—every scream, however, is a desperate cry to prolong the life of the dying cult.
2/8This tendency can be observed even among the dissidents who prefer to operate within the capitalist framework no matter what.  When the fear of system crumbling down on them gets bigger than anything else, the fear manifests as a wish for the end of the world.
3/8The ruling class cleverly utilizes this collective death wish in herding people into yet another scheme of profiteering, austerity, repression, exploitation and subjugation.
4/8We are told that the earth will end in 12 years—only to be subjected to fraudulent carbon capture schemes and unsustainable “green capitalism”.
5/8We are told that the deadly new plague will kill us all—only to find oppressed people even more oppressed with draconian measures while our humanity and our environment are digitized for harvesting.
6/8We are told that AI will dominate humanity—only to find the ruling class firmly in charge of good old schemes of exploitation and subjugation, blinding our ability to see through the mechanism of capitalism.
7/8Capitalism is a structural arrangement of our society colonizing our humanity and nature constantly, systemically and structurally.  What does a death cult look like in its final stage? What does a wolf look like when it cries wolf? Do we see an arsonist playing a firefighter?
8/8Do we see capitalism on fire from its contradiction as humanity stands strong resisting the exploitation and subjugation? When we see capitalism for what it is, it is not the time to dream of zombie apocalypse survival, it is the time to declare “workers of the world, unite!”.

1/4Tyranny of capitalism does not end in normalizing its inhumanity and injustice against the subject population. By domesticating “dissidents” and “activists” within its framework, it captures the opposing momentums in driving itself.
2/4The moneyed institutions carefully weave social fabrics ensurIng that the positions of those who defy the capitalist framework to firmly stay within it.
3/4The result is a long and firm western tradition of anti-socialist dissidents who viciously scream against capitalist crimes only to herd the momentum safely back within the capitalist framework.

1/8When “socialism” is an excuse to keep smaller countries defenseless, poor and obedient to the empire, it is not socialism. It is a part of imperial ideology to keep them exploited and subjugated by the empire. It’s a gated community building efforts for the capitalists.
2/8Western “socialists” and others who call themselves activists have long been engaged in this deceptive “activism” instead of being fully engaged in dismantling the imperial structure.
3/8If wildfire, police violence, election rigging, corruption, having weapons of mass destruction, prison torture, shameless state propaganda can lead to a regime change for other countries, there is no country as applicable as the United States of America.

1/7 @elleprovocateur’s Manufacturing for Consent series in a nutshell. It is no way a substitution for the 2 volumes. Any question should be clarified by reading the actual work. Cory has done a tremendous work deciphering a crucial aspect of our time.
2/7The youth led movement is a crucial element in mobilizing political institutions to employ and codify corporate “solutions” as official governmental policies, and judge subsequent processes according to the regulations.
3/7The current surge of climate momentum is operating within the capitalist framework having its financial crisis mode. The cyclical crisis is unavoidable and it must be dealt with financial solutions.
