the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????
i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.
so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.
this post was up for like five minutes and already im being told how wrong i am
Something that Lenin will NEVER let you forget when you’re reading Imperialism is that he only uses sources and quotes from bourgeois scholars and economics. Every quote its like he looks at you, smirks, and says, “and btw, even these bozos have to admit its getting bad but get this: these fools can’t come up with a solution because they are liberals!” Indeed they were all right! Imperialism was fucking shit up! Yes, there really WAS a lot of industrial accumulation and all of it IS headed by finance capital in monopolistic banks!
A similar case is happening now with bourgeois scholars and investigating the effects of neoliberalism and the history of socialism. Bourgeois scholars consistently find that neoliberal policies continue to harm everything under the sun. At the same time, interviews, archive searches, statistical analyses, etc. on socialist countries continue to return positive conclusions. But these facts do not actually matter to those in charge. The crux of the entire matter is simple: to change from neoloiberalism to something else is to give up the domination of profits. The very act of considering moving away from profit is of the highest form of heresy to the bourgeoisie.
