Birthright citizenship is not causally related to colonialism in a demonstrable fashion, nor is it the only 'legacy' of colonialism. The Plan De Iguala explicitly defines 'Americans' (read: citizens) as those born in Mexico to all in STARK contrast to the caste system.
Americans tend to forget they are Property absolutists. Whereas in Europe most countries can seize/alter property in accordance with public good and fair compensation, in the US seizure is used almost solely on land and for infrastructure.
Yes, but it's two-fold. Working-class women, with worse access to medicine, faced significantly higher infant mortality while also working as wet-nurses and servants who bore the brunt of the shame and grief if the child died young. It's why upper-class families had nurseries.
By saying the 'elite' are overproduced in reference to grad unemployment, it's actually just saying that being educated makes you 'elite', as opposed to a specialized prole. So in reality, it's an argument against education point-blank.

i like how the 'west' is a phantasm. It does not exist. Is russia the west? Or Turkey? Is latin america the west? East Asia?
God only knows. All that matters is the Eternal Argument of Twitter.
before talking about 'Unequal Exchange', I think people ought to read the text first. The dominated-dominant relationship between countries is two-fold. World-capitalism relies upon an ever-deepening exploitation of workers in the Global North AND South.
Why does any of this matter? Society will re-constitute itself post-crisis. White collar work is practical, and will be a part of that. So it won't matter whether or not you individually buy a gun. Social conflict will be won with mass, organization, and political will.

No, actually this is true. When I lobbied Dems for trans rights in Illinois, it became VERY apparent that they, the politicians, were used to a phone call here or there at most when it came to “pressure.” They did NOT like me scheduling meetings to speak *critically* with them
I have a boiling hatred for David Graeber and 'bullshit jobs.' If the job was well and truly bullshit, you wouldn't have it. HR prevents lawsuits & does payroll. Accounting keeps track of money. Receptionists do social labor and handle idiot clients.
i can only describe this reading as anti-text. the story is supposed to be about V's personal journey and decisions, not broad-scale political change. It's like asking a Disney princess film to feature Robespierre.

“Chris Rabb had been elected to Congress”
DSA member @chrisrabb has been elected to Congress in Pennsylvania’s 3rd District! Chris will fight for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, & a free Palestine alongside @phillydsa members who fought to elect him. Join our movement for a socialist future at dsausa.org/join 🌹
ALT Democratic Socialists of America. Chris Rabb Wins U.S. House of Representatives, Pennsylvania's third district. Chris Rabb, a Black man with a shaved head and a neat salt-and-pepper beard, looks to the side. He has a warm, confident smile. He is wearing red glasses, a black quarter zip sweater, and a warm grey suit jacket.
