What an obscure factory in the English Midlands tells you about the way the world works

    I heard once that car manufacturers can’t make cars without Chinese parts. They say they’re made in Europe or America but really they’re just assembled there.

    So idk what President Trump was thinking when he put over 100% tariffs on China but I’m glad it’s crashing the economy. Unfortunately economic decline in a real sense has to happen for social progress in America at this point. And I am cautiously optimistic that this is already working with the recent marches going on. Those marches need more coverage, and they need more organization of people during the march, so that people who who attend walk away with more than they came in with (even if it’s just a secure way of contacting their group so they can decide on further action). They also need a leadership structure.

      They also need a radical and militant proletarian understanding of what is happening. Otherwise it is just going to end up as just another liberal wet fart.

        Then we ML’s need to step up. They can’t just go along with whatever liberals are doing. And if libs don’t fall in line, we have to prioritize organizing ourselves first and tote the line of “You’re either with us or against us”.
