1591475916592611329 | Who is the more important trading partner: China (red) or USA (blue)? How drastically the world economy has changed. No wonder US and EU miscalculated how sanctions would "weaken" Russia. Thanks to Henry Hakamaki for the graphic. https://t.co/YUOVVOseMz | 3592 |
1545588551605260288 | When many shortages were reported in the old USSR, communism - the system - got blamed. Now that we suffer many shortages, everything other than the system - capitalism - gets blamed. Dont be fooled. | 3289 |
1351898730534989824 | Trump did not bring fascism; it brought him. Fascism is capitalism's harsh, savage response to the divisive social crises it imposes on society (depressions, extreme racial and economic inequalities, etc.). 1/2 | 2838 |
1497406062785286150 | Russia is one of world's largest exporters of oil and gas. If US, European sanctions and/or Russia's responses drive up oil and gas prices, Russia's export revenues will rise and help pay the sanctions' costs. In contrast rising oil and gas prices will feed US inflation. | 2033 |
1499213974444949505 | Leaders who saw no moral issues with invading and occupying (for 20+ years) Afghanistan and Iraq are now "morally outraged" by Putin's invasion of Ukraine? That's hypocrisy, not morality. | 1983 |
1552836306971119617 | Ignore word salad debates over this recession. Here's what matters: we live in a system, capitalism, that is deeply unstable, lurching from inflation to recession & back endlessly disturbing our lives, jobs, institutions. End taboo against facing that our system is our problem | 1747 |
1385052737222500357 | Blaming the homeless is not only an example of "blaming the victim." It also lets the economic system off the hook for failing to (1) provide people with enough income to secure decent housing or (2) to make decent housing affordable or (3) both. | 1473 |
1461530418906206208 | There is no "labor shortage." There is a shortage of good jobs, good pay, good job conditions. When workers refuse bad jobs, bad pay and poor job conditions, employers whine "labor shortage." Don't be fooled. | 1400 |
1353755260347691014 | Cuba is first Latin American country to develop, test its own Covid-19 vaccine. Cuba's globally praised medical services successfully prepared for and contained Covid-19. And that despite US embargo and hostility. https://t.co/L5i2ZKjxZX | 1380 |
1481460995629404162 | "Learning to live with Covid" is US capitalism's surrender slogan. The system failed to prepare for or cope with Covid's threat to public health. Dont waste time blaming this or that person or group trapped in the system. The system is the problem. | 1358 |

1612283150700318722 | Were Ukraine winning, it would not need to beg for more tanks, armored vehicles, etc. Its allies would not need to give them. | 3306 |
1448680245406564354 | Inflation occurs when employers raise prices. Profit drives their decisions. But they dare not publicly admit that reason. Instead they blame gov't or rising wages or "shortages" etc.: anything/anyone but themselves. Dont be fooled. https://t.co/Eti1xmSScI | 2091 |
1454266810400972801 | It's NOT pro- vs anti-vaccine. The issue is class struggle: have employers' dictates/mandates become intolerable for employees? Record job-quitting + strikes + refusals of mask/vaccine mandates say yes. | 1080 |
1591475916592611329 | Who is the more important trading partner: China (red) or USA (blue)? How drastically the world economy has changed. No wonder US and EU miscalculated how sanctions would "weaken" Russia. Thanks to Henry Hakamaki for the graphic. https://t.co/YUOVVOseMz | 848 |
1347740376912650240 | What was seen in the Capitol building of Washington on January 6 was another manifestation of angry working class people. This will only continue unless basic changes happen in this country. We need to do something about the inequality of this society. https://t.co/pNuFi57hNz | 818 |
1424037870298230785 | US's decline exposed in many ways. One is a sad, desperate try to hide US's olympic losses (to China) by using a different medals count than rest of world. Yahoo sports exposes it all. https://t.co/4r5oVKvPJ4 | 730 |
1610471204548132866 | What Zelensky says: Ukrainians will never forgive Russians for this war. What Zelensky fears: Ukrainians will never forgive him for this war too. In war and politics, the transition from hero to villain can happen quickly. | 728 |
1410419384498098178 | Miami's collapsed condo shows: privatized housing violates democracy. Only condo owners voted to defer building repair. Delivery workers, condo visitors, repairers knew nothing, didn't vote, risked injury, death. As irreducibly social, housing must be run democratically by all. | 514 |
1469502951349624833 | US capitalism: fails to cope with Covid, fails to prevent economic crash, and now hits working class with a 7% inflation more than canceling a 5% wage increase. How long till its victims and critics ally to do better than capitalism? | 514 |
1601773769072078850 | Rising wages do not "force" higher prices. Employers raise prices if,when it profits them; they always blame others. Don't be fooled. | 351 |

1469001647804215299 | Self-censoring BBC hides new German gov 't led by SOCIALIST PARTY (in his SPD party, S is for socialist). BBC calls him "social democrat." Portugal's coalition gov't since 2016 too is mostly hidden: socialists + communists + Greens. https://t.co/G4gLILTKLL | 358 |
