Thanks comrade

I still dont think theyll be receptive to it (it would have to take multiple conversations and alot time to change one’s preconceived notions) but at least i can be unapolagetic whenever the topic comes up.

Ngl, my normie friends are not ready to take anything i say about North Korea that isnt “Kim Jong Un bad” seriously

He spoke of it in an interview, and I can’t remember exactly which one atm. The blurb from his book Democracy at Work echoes this belief (the subtitle is literally “A Cure for Capitalism”)

Capitalism as a system has spawned deepening economic crisis alongside its bought-and-paid-for political establishment. Neither serves the needs of our society. Whether it is secure, well-paid, and meaningful jobs or a sustainable relationship with the natural environment that we depend on, our society is not delivering the results people need and deserve.

One key cause for this intolerable state of affairs is the lack of genuine democracy in our economy as well as in our politics. The solution requires the institution of genuine economic democracy, starting with workers directing their own workplaces, as the basis for a genuine political democracy.

I think he differs from ML’s in that he believes there can be an overthrow of capitalism through worker co-ops. I believe he even talked about going back and analyzing the soviet union and “where they went wrong” as in why it eventually collapsed, and it was something to do with workers not fully controlling the means of production (i may be distorting his point, so dont quote me)

Regardless, he is a very good educator of marxism.

but I still need to go to work to keep the make believe that is our society going

The absurdity of it all is this. I hear people at work talking about the future and things like nothing is happening in the broader world. If I bring it up I look like a crazy person though.

We’ve been individualized and unorganized by capitalism for so long and there is no outlet for unorganized people to do anything in response to the collapse. I feel like people are either in denial or just too afraid too admit it.

Advertising industry made sure that would never happen again
