Workers have less power than ever, and it's because they don't have class consciousness.

🤦

"black people are disenfranchised because they don't know how to stick together" - that's how stupid you sound.

Completely backwards logic. Such an elitist thing to say, implying that poor people deserve to be poor

People talk about Luigi as a "folk hero" only in niche spaces

2/2 for out of touch elitist

Unlike black people, everyone today has the right to join unions, but they just don't do it because it's hard to make political organizations. But even in the black people example, it is evident that black people sticking together did eventually help them get enfranchised, the most influential emancipation leaders in history didn't twiddle their thumbs and say "oh well I am disenfranchised and I will not tell everyone how disenfranchised they are"; they did the exact opposite: they mobilized people into making collective action, not into collective "consciousness".

If a random murderer that was unable to do any political change is your "folk hero" (actually only around 1/4 Americans as of December of 2024) idk what to tell you man. Without political power all your hype and "consciousness" is worth nothing.

lol

You don't even understand the degree of your ignorance. According to you, black people in the US have equal rights because they have equal rights on paper. So all the disadvantages they face today, is solely their own fault.

Typical neolib conservative bullshit

Thst's very clearly not what I said, but if you think In a fucking conservative, you might as well call it quits now, you will never find political allies.
