Now take it one step further: why should the average American care whether their own corrupt government controls the world? That's because it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. It's not our fight. Never was.

"The workingman has no country" (Marx) Our struggle is against the state, not a country. The state is *the* capitalist par excellence. The confrontation resembles class struggle only insomuch as we confront the state as if we were confronting the workday itself: at the point of consuming free-time as our own...

The US is the lone sovereign state in the world.

This is indisputable.

The fact that ordinary people do not benefit from this is immaterial.

The state services excess capital, & excess capital allows the lone sovereign to dominate the globe.

How is that not #AmericaFirst? From a purely political-economic point of view, the less state spending finds it way into the consumption of the working-class, that is, into the reproduction of labor-power as a whole, the more unpaid labor-time is realized as surplus value.

Hence, military spending.

America already is first.

Ex: Everybody assumed this picture was a "showdown" between Merkel and Trump over "America First" policies.

Reality: The G7 members were trying to explain to Trump that the global arrangement *already was* AMERICA FIRST.

Globalism=America First. America has every advantage on the world market. They have military bases everywhere. People literally pay the United States to use their dollar while financing the U.S.'s DoD. They get the better end of every trade deal and have veto power in every group they're part of

If the whiny leftists wanted to depose Musk, they would demand Congress balance their budgets.

The capitalist class owes its existence to the sum of state social spending.

The gap between dollar prices (profits) and labor values in the mass of profits is ENORMOUS. The capitalist does not give two shits about the labor value content in its newly acquired profits. The original formula of M-C-M' no longer applies. It is now M-M'. So long as the sum of dollars is greater than what is put in, they "realize" a profit. But not so fast!

🧵How The Fascists (Mostly) Already Accomplished What The Proletariat Were Supposed To (According To The Communist Manifesto): When SYRIZA took power in 2015, expectations were high for the "neo-Marxian" party to solve the problems of the Greek working class. But when they took state power, they found out their "radical" Keynesian policy tools had already been worn down to the nub by their predecessors.
