The Schemes of the Ruling Class -
A 🧵
——————————————————
There are genuine contradictions among the ruling class. And communists must actively study these contradictions. Often, communists tend to believe that the ideological contradictions among the republicans and the democrats are merely just “political theater.” However, this couldn’t be more far from the truth. Is there a high level of political theater that’s enabled to sow division among the masses? Indeed there is. But this doesn’t negate the fact that there are genuine practical contradictions among the the anglo-American imperialists. These contradictions manifest among the political apparatus of the social superstructure. There are genuine contradictions among the Republican and democrats. But at this point in the 2020’s, they are united on their tactical campaigns. Their tactical campaigns extremely differed in the late 2000s (specifically 2008) and the early to mid 2010s. But now, they are united. However, what they do struggle is how to carry out these campaigns. What campaign are the struggling for? They are struggling for a higher world war with the other monopoly capitalists of the world. Why? Because the capitalists are once again being devoured by the contradiction between the industrial mode of production and the anarchic distribution of commodities. Just how they were in the 70’s before they resorted to neoliberalism to combat this crisis. However, there is never fully a way to truly combat this crisis. As the inevitable course that capitalism gravitates towards is the devour of itself. So what have the capitalists historically resorted to in order to “combat this crisis.” It’s been war. What will it be. It will be war with the other monopoly capitalists of the worlds. But fear not comrades, we have the conscious ability to transform to the imperialist war into a people’s war against the reactionary government. But we must also expose the ruling class’s ambition to demoralize and pacify them from the struggle.
At this point in time, the ruling class is quite literally in shambles. What do we see as a result of this crisis? We see the political situation intensify. We see the repressive state apparatus utilize its federal and local reactionary forces to silence the democratic masses (hopefully soon, socialist revolutionary masses). It will only gradually intensify even more. It will probably get so intense, that a new genuine socialist revolutionary situation will spark out of this. But the revolutionary movement can only be successful when guided by genuine communist party. Not a revisionist counter insurgent party. However, communists must participate in actively combating the bourgeois dominated superstructure. Because the bourgeoisie is utilizing many tactics right now. These tactics include political repression, but there’s also social pacifism that the ruling class are enabling. This is where the contradictions among the ruling class are manifesting.

It must be clear, ALL OF THE RULING CLASS AND THEIR POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES ARE IMPERIALISTS. They will all use politically repressive means to silence the masses. However, the clear representative of one section of the ruling class is Trump. The ruling class propped up Trump as one of the “radical” departure from the “traditional social norm of bourgeois politics.” Trump made this conscious effort due to his monopoly capitalist background himself. However, what do I mean by traditional bourgeois politics. Well, for much of history, the culture of bourgeois politicians mirrors the culture of the bourgeoisie. Which is “professionalism” “suit and tie” “communicating straight to the point.” It’s a direct opposite of proletarian culture, in which the bourgeoisie frowns upon, and has historically looked upon the culture of the proletariat with disdain.
The spokesperson and leader that the ruling class has propped up before Trump was Obama. Obama was an imperialist, but also a cultural pacifist. Much of the masses had to subjectively latched onto Obama as this “wonderful leader.” However, he was just as imperialist as every president before him. Trump represents the complete radical departure from that idea of “traditional politics.” Now, this has its roots in Bill Clinton. But Clinton was still part of the “bourgeois traditional politics.” With Trump, this is the ruling class’s ambition to paint Trump in a fashion that mirrors the “ideals of the people.” A true historic “leader” that will “combat the corruption from within system.” A leader that “is a comedic genius,” and “he says out loud what everybody is thinking.” However, that picture has obviously faded significantly recently. Even his own working class supporters have started to see through this painting. They are realizing that Trump is no different than all the imperialistic presidents before him. At the same time, those who have latched on to their subjective bias have decided that they will defend trump no matter what. Even when the struggle between subjective forces have reached a higher mode. However, the other section of the ruling class has failed at trying to prop up a leader of the same “style as Trump.” But we can clearly see that changing in the next few years. Who will this supposed “chosen person of the democrats” be? It will be someone who is also a fascist. Also an imperialist. But at the same time, they are also going to be a social pacifist. The ruling class will prop up this leader as the one to “save the people from Trump.” Who will this leader be? Based on the propaganda trend we see going on, this will more likely be none other than the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom.
Governor Gavin Newsom represents the gradual developing cult of personality that will “counter Trump.” We will likely see a fierce political struggle among the ruling class in the next few years. The most intensified point will likely be 2027 and 2028. But what does his basis of propaganda serve? It’s social pacifism. In the next few years, we’re probably going to see that side of him come out. He’ll likely run for president in 2028. Now some say AOC is going to be this next figure. And she is also a basis for social pacifism. She must also be exposed. However, based on the ruling class’s political agenda, I see this gravitating mostly towards Gavin Newsom as being their spokesperson. But communists must consciously expose him. Because he serves the imperialists. He serves American finance capital. Don’t fall for the “lesser of two evils narrative.”

We have an ability now to prove that “Newson” is not the “leader of the people.” But you, as a communist, yes YOU, make that conscious effort to prove other wise. You must expose the democrats. You must expose the fascists. How? By integrating with the working masses. You must connect with other communists and unite. If you fail to do this, then you’re going to be stuck on Twitter doing the same shit every other arm chair revolutionary does and scream “WHY ARE YOU VOTING! YOU SHOULD BE REVOLTING!” Expose the imperialists. Integrate with the working class. This may sound harsh, but become an actual fucking communist and stop spending half of your time on twitter looking for theory on tactics there. You must engage in practice. You must study. And it must be a collective effort.
