Which community(/ies) would you like to help moderate? > 2. Have you read the rules of said community(/ies) and do you agree to upkeep/enforce them proactively? > 3.

Don't forget about the Irish unification of 2024!

It is important to always keep in mind that societal progress is an unstoppable historical force. Setbacks of years, decades or even centuries don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Class struggle will progress as it always has since the beginning of post-tribal civilization. As the leading force of history, it will eventually sweep aside capitalism as it has done with feudalism, mercantilism and other modes of production before that. This can only end in two ways at the injunction we are currently at: the continuation of exploitative modes of production - like capitalism and it's various derivatives - destroying the ecological base of our existence, causing us to tip over the point of no return of ecological collapse *or* the distruction of the exploiter classes, including their tools, and the construction of a socialist society with the goal of reaching communism. So let us work towards making sure that the latter will come to fruition!
The irrational way of ressource allocation and oganization of production inherent in capitalism leads to wasted economic potential in pursuit of personal gain and profits, instead of democratizing the workplace, improving living standards and reducing work hours. We waste the potential found in automation on producing mostly useless things that are designed to break in a few years, while also threatening the job security of countless of working people instead of shortening the work week with same or increased pay.
