Superprofits under capitalism aren’t just “big profits.” They are extraordinary gains extracted above the average profit rate, reflecting structural power, monopoly control, and global inequalities. A Marxist lens helps see how wealth concentrates and exploitation persists. 🧵⬇️ Image 2/ Ordinary profits come from surplus value—capitalists paying workers less than the value they produce. Superprofits go beyond that, arising from monopoly power, patents, global labor exploitation, and financial maneuvers. They show the true mechanics of capitalist extraction.

COVID-19: The Greatest Wealth Transfer in History Disguised as Medicine 🧵⬇️ Image 1/ The COVID-19 pandemic was never about health—it was a meticulously engineered crisis to transfer trillions to oligarchs while enforcing medical apartheid. The working class was the target, not the virus. #COVIDScam

October 7th as Capitalist Alibi: A Materialist Demolition of Zionist Propaganda 🧵⬇️ 1/ The "October 7th" deflection is genocide apologia 101. Colonial violence didn't begin on 10/7 - it started in 1948 with:
• 750,000 Palestinians ethnically cleansed
• 530 villages destroyed
• 78% of historic Palestine stolen

Trump, Capitalist Decay, and the Socialist Horizon 🧵⬇️ Image 1/ Trump represents not an aberration, but the logical extreme of late-stage capitalism: nationalist bluster masking service to the same imperialist project. #CapitalismInDecay

Marx’s Labor Theory vs. AI & Automation—Why Workers Still Hold the Power 🧵⬇️ Image 1/ "AI disproves Marx’s labor theory of value!" Nope. Let’s break why automation doesn’t kill LTV—it exposes capitalism’s newest theft. Machines don’t create value; they disguise who really does. #AIFeudalism

Beyond Cyclical Myths: A Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Critique of 'Fourth Turning' Theory and the Revolutionary Imperative 🧵⬇️ 1/ The "Fourth Turning" theory mistakes capitalist crisis cycles for historical inevitability. What Strauss & Howe call "turnings" are merely surface manifestations of deeper class contradictions under late imperialism. #HistoricalMaterialism

The Dialectics of Collapse: A Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Analysis of Epochal Transition and Revolutionary Strategy 🧵⬇️ 1/ What we witness today is not simply "collapse" but dialectical motion - capital's death throes creating revolutionary potential. The ruling class manages decline while suppressing consciousness of alternatives. #DialecticalMaterialism

Piketty’s Data, Marx’s Conclusions 🧵⬇️ 1/ Piketty’s r>g formula brilliantly quantifies capital’s inherent inequality drive—but his reformist solutions ignore the political reality: capital always dismantles regulations when worker power wanes. The post-war "intervention" was itself a product of revolutionary threats.

The mid-20th century prosperity of the U.S. and Northern Europe was not proof that capitalism "works"—but rather evidence of what happens when capital is temporarily forced to concede to working-class power. 🧵⬇️ Image This period was an exception, not a rule, and its conditions were unsustainable by design.

🔥 Thread: Gaza’s Genocide & the Rot of Imperialism 🧵 1/ The images from Gaza are not just "tragedy"—they are the deliberate, calculated result of Zionism’s settler-colonial project, backed by the full force of US-led imperialism.

THREAD: The empire’s collapse might not mean chaos—but opportunity. Let’s break down why fracturing America could weaken capital and empower people's movements. 🧵 Image 1/ The United States is crumbling from within. Political gridlock, wild regional inequalities, and cultural civil wars reveal a failed imperial project. Rather than fear balkanization, socialists should prepare to turn fragmentation into liberation.

THREAD: The Hidden Empire—How U.S. Private Investors Gobble Up Global Land (And Why It Matters) 🧵 Image 1/ While everyone talks about US military bases abroad, a quieter conquest is happening: American private investors buying up foreign land at record rates. From Brazilian farms to Lisbon apartments, here’s what’s happening—and why it’s neo-colonialism.

Thread: China Won—Here’s Why 🧵 Image 1/8 The great divergence began in 2001. As America spent $2.3 trillion destroying Afghanistan (@BrownUniversity), China built the Qinghai-Tibet Railway—the world's highest train line. Twenty years later, US failure stares at Chinese rails reaching Europe. #PostAmericanWorld

Thread: Dialectical Materialism Against Imperialism: A Unified Critique of Capitalism’s False Scarcity, the Limits of Monetary Reform, and China’s Path 🧵 Image 1/15
Capitalism’s most insidious lie is the myth of the "fixed pie"—the idea that wealth is finite and workers demanding more would destabilize the economy. This zero-sum narrative justifies exploitation while obscuring the reality of systematic theft.

The ruling class's greatest trick? Convincing the exploited they need their exploiters. From ancient slavery to modern capitalism, psychological chains outlive material ones. Here's how this lie persists—and how we break it. 🧵 Image Under feudalism, serfs believed lords protected them from wolves. Today, workers credit CEOs for "creating jobs"—as if factories run on boardroom meetings rather than labor. The master-slave dialectic evolved, but its core remains: manufactured dependence. (2/8)

1/ Things will get worse before they get better.

We're witnessing the birth of a new ruling class: Big Finance + Silicon Valley technocrats.

Their product? The 21st century surveillance state.

Let’s connect the dots. 🧵 Image 2/ Exhibit A: Palantir.

Founded with CIA seed money, now designing AI systems for:

-Predictive policing
-Military targeting
-Immigration enforcement

This isn’t conspiracy theory—it’s their business model.

The situation in Gaza today meets several criteria of genocide as defined under international law (1948 Genocide Convention), according to legal scholars, human rights organizations, and UN experts.

Under international law (Genocide Convention), it means acts committed to destroy a group (in whole or part). This includes:

-Mass killing

-Inflicting starvation

-Destroying homes/hospitals
