That’s never going to happen under capitalism though, so until socialism is achieved, I’m going to do the best I can to ensure that my fellow workers have as much access to good paying jobs as possible.

    It’s self-sustaining. They have convinced people that they don’t deserve access to resources unless they perform some meaningless demeaning labour. The job leaves them too exhausted and numb to question the status quo and do something about it. Yet, at the same time the 0.1% who is hoarding all the planet’s resources isn’t scanning any groceries to ‘deserve’ it.

    Yes, which is why organization and political education is so critical, and also why MLs place importance on vanguard parties. The capitalists are never going to give us the time for everyone to realize we can demand better, so those of us who already realize it need to step up and help guide those who don’t.

    Would you rather everyone be unemployed and destitute while you beg the capitalists to give you money?
