It’s been over 150 years since Karl Marx published Das Kapital, yet its relevance has only grown stronger. From exposing capitalism’s contradictions to influencing global political movements, Marx’s work continues to shape economic and social debates. But why does Das Kapital remain so impactful, and what can it teach us about today’s world? In this video, we break down the core ideas of Das Kapital, surplus value, class struggle, and the inevitability of capitalist crises—to understand why Marx’s analysis remains indispensable in the 21st century.

That makes no sense.

 
 

Thousands of workers across the country hit the streets this week to declare their opposition to Trump and Musk who, under the guise of “efficiency,” are slashing and burning public services.

 

Speaker after speaker, including foreign conservative leaders from around the world, paid homage to Trump and this message.

Not to go full Robin Williams gif, but there are fewer real reasons why the 2024 Election map looks like it does than you’d be led to believe.

I’m beginning to think that Peter Thiel is actually our new Éminence grise, operating in the shadows.

We still haven’t found the 297 years from the Middle Ages.

You should limit interactions for your own mental health. This will be unpopular among the more strident hardliners, and I cannot presume to know your situation. Some, if not most of Trump supporters are woefully misinformed. Cutting them off can make them more defensive and further entrenched.

As time progresses, the cognitive dissonance they are experiencing will become overwhelming and they will need a place to land. We cannot confront this with tough love. Eventually some of them will see Trump for what he is, and only with patience and compassion can we bring them over. The time to take sides will come, and we will need everyone who is willing to help.

 

Trump is woefully ignorant of international law and the law of occupation. Forcible displacement of an occupied group is an international crime, and amounts to ethnic cleansing.
