I loved this piece so much. I struggled with political labels for a long time, and that’s part of the game. I still don’t know what I am. But I know I am anti-fascist and pro-human. I believe in human potential when not corrupted by hypercapitalistic egotism.

A major shift is underway. I think a new world is in the early stages of emergence. It’s all the emotions: exciting, horrifying, anxious, sad, joyous.

It’s crucial to recognize and see through the illusion that your life amounts to little more than generating income for some master that’s not you from birth until death.

I serve a higher power than the almighty dollar. I think true evil is putting money above humanity. I’ll keep raising the consciousness with you the best I can until we hit that point where we say we’ve had enough.

I am glad you enjoyed my thoughts! To be honest I don't think labelling yourself is really necessary, it might help to find people that share similar beliefs and for theory, but I don't really think it matters after, all! I am a Marxist-Leninist, but it took me years to realise that my beliefs were aligned with Marxism, it helps me connect with fellow Marxists around the world and understand theory, but at the end of the day, my goal is not to preach to the choir.

I want the non-Marxists and the undecided ones to get in the cause, whether they want to label themselves or not! Likewise, I just want them to grow a level of class consciousness that will lead them to bridge solidarity with fellow working class people, labourers, to be guided by a true desire for the betterment of everyone's material conditions!

So, whether you identify openly as marxist/communist or not, I am glad you are joining in to raise class consciousness the best you can! And remember, we need to reach the ones whose beliefs are not aligned with ours, we need them to understand that it is time for them to join our ranks and fight alongside us the people they have been taught to idolise!

Always happy to interact with a new comrade! 🤗
