“One lesson from Texas history is that repression was so severe because resistance was so daunting-a lesson to keep in mind as this century unfolds”
No it’s not. Wages in the Imperialist countries are buffed by super-exploitation of the global South.
The amount of resources Americans use means that they are condensing into a “middle class” above the 3rd world nations workers and below the Imperial Bourgeoisie.
Spending most if not all of your paycheck does not mean you aren’t “middle class” (petty bourg or labor aristocrat). You were never meant to be able to accumulate wealth, the bourgs want you to consume it and for them to get it in their balance sheets at the end of the day because you bought goods and services from their property. If you are accumulating significant wealth that can’t be wiped out due to crises (ex: getting very ill, medical costs), you are certainly not exploited. If you are consuming more labor than you put out, but break even on paper, you’re still not exploited (Imperialist wages).
This is why Economism (and accompanying social democracy) is dead end politics that is incapable of handling national contradictions that Imperialism feeds on.
As well, the top 80% of income brackets have been getting increased wealth and income, since the end of WW2.
The only segment of the US working class that is difficult to describe as a labor aristocracy (in NAFTA states) is being shredded to pieces.
This segment of the working class should be the focus of organization in the core. The rest should only be organized secondarily, as their interests align with Imperialism too much.
Yes the article is incorrect and it seems a lot of reporting is playing it safe by using neutral pronouns, but I’ve heard passed on info that Nex preferred the masculine pronouns.
Edit:
Could come off as conflicting information, but it wouldn’t be unexpected that a young person would be still coming to understand their presentation in their environments
Nex used he/they pronouns according to his friends btw. JSYK when talking about this tragedy moving forward.
Red Nation Rising: From Bordertown Violence to Native Liberation is a required reading for Chunka Luta Network. You can find it in the Chunka Luta Library: https://mega.nz/folder/cuMwjRyK#eDPayQSdYFwaCh9qr8zzPw/file/cvUg1BxR
This reading is required because we need every communist in North America to know the current violent conditions for native communities and individuals, as well as the structure of White Supremacist occupation.
It describes the overall process of what this is showing a slice of, ongoing genocide.
Relevant snippet from Palo Alto:
Amazon has absurd injury rates while they get a lot of great press for their “automation”, but what such “automation” is actually doing is setting a dangerous pace for the human bodies. With such high turnover and higher than local average wages, Amazon is able to pace workers at inhuman speeds, to their body’s breaking point, because each individual worker is an expiring commodity to them.
