    The working class directs the state. The owning class directs the working class. The owning class doesn’t give two shits about abortion beyond how they can use it to get the people they want elected.

    It’s why they bother with Fox News and all this propaganda. At the end of the day they still need votes.

      The Working Class does not direct the state, because they must pick between candidates chosen by the Owner Class. The system itself is designed to protect the Owner Class, and it does so through picking representatives to prevent truly democratic processes.

      Fox, CNN, NYT, all of the major media outlets owned by the same group of companies serve as the bread and circuses to distract the Workers.

        Yes, the owning class are the ones who picked George Santos. Not just anyone can run. He was the chosen one.

        Things are difficult, yes. They’re not completely hopeless.

          George Santos never rocked the boat and was never a threat.

          Reform into a worker-controlled system is largely impossible, but that doesn’t mean the situation is hopeless. The system needs to be replaced.

          The Founding Fathers built the state to support the interests of the Owner Class, because they were Owners.
