YogthosDespite spending her entire life working, 81-year-old Betty is still clocking in at a local Eat'n Park diner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While many her age enjoy retirement, Betty is waiting tables just to stay afloat – because her monthly Social Security income of $910 falls short of covering her basic expenses.<a href="https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/i-still-cant-retire-81-year-old-waitress-us-struggles-get-910-social-security-1732227" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/i-still-cant-retire-81-year-old-waitress-us-struggles-get-910-social-security-1732227</a><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/us" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#us</a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#economy</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday In Labor History April 4, 1968: James Earl Ray assassinated Martin Luther King at the Lorraine Hotel, Memphis, Tennessee. King was in Memphis to support the sanitation workers’ strike that had started in February, 1968, for better working conditions and higher pay. The strike began 2 weeks after 2 workers were crushed to death when their truck malfunctioned, intensifying the already high level of frustration and anger over working conditions and safety. King led a protest march on March 28. Over 20,000 kids cut class to join the demonstration. Some members of the march began smashing downtown windows and looting. The cops intervened with mace, tear gas, clubs and live gunfire, killing 16-year-old Larry Paine, who had his hands in the air when he was shot. On April 3, one day before his assassination, King gave his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MartinLutherKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MartinLutherKing</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/assassination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#assassination</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mlk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mlk</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/memphis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#memphis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#union</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#strike</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#police</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#policebrutality</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policemurder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#policemurder</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#students</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kids</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMastadon</a>

Miss Gayle"Keynes saw greed as a necessary evil that could power enough economic growth to pull all people out of poverty, at which point we could compost the money motive and enjoy the fruits of its often cruel labors.Some of those benefits have come to pass, and yet poverty persists... We are undermining the...conditions that have allowed human life to thrive.

AJ SadauskasAnyone else notice how quiet the neoliberals have been lately?For decades, conservative fans of FA Hayek and Milton Friedman have told us that free trade and free markets are their core principles.That we should let the invisible hand of the market decide.That any government intervention, no matter how well intended, distorts the markets.That government intervention in markets is socialism.That governments shouldn't pick winners.That taxes are bad.That if there's a choice between government intervention to stop global warming from fossil fuel pollution or free trade, they'll gladly pick free trade.Right back to Reagan and Thatcher, they swore these were their core principles.So.An American president intervening in markets by imposing arbitrary protectionist tariff taxes should have been a hard no.A political candidate openly campaigning on doing this should have met stiff opposition from the invisible hand's true believers.If a true believer in these neoliberal principles (as Rupert Murdoch has claimed to be) owned a news channel (such as Fox News), one would expect outrage at this blatant rejection of free markets and free trade.So where are all the neoliberal think tanks? Economists? Politicians?Why the silence?<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FreeMarkets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeMarkets</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FreeTrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeTrade</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#news</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trump</a>

Proletarian PerspectiveCapital’s Genocide offers an analysis that traces and maps the material interests that have caused the Gaza genocide (ibid). It explains the genocide in terms of global economic currents and pressures. Thus, the genocide is seen as an extreme consequence of the violence otherwise ‘necessary to maintain not only local settler colonial rule, but the global capitalist system as a whole’ <a href="https://proletarianperspective.wordpress.com/2025/04/04/americas-genocide/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://proletarianperspective.wordpress.com/2025/04/04/americas-genocide/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/America" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#America</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#socialism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#imperialism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#israel</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genocide</a>

Bread and CircusesAs might be expected from a capitalist, the worry expressed here is not so much that the breakdown of Earth’s climate and environment threatens extinction for millions of species — including our own — and it’s not so much about the cost in human terms to poor communities in the Global South who will suffer the earliest and worst outcomes.No, the biggest concern is that capitalism might be in trouble. 😱How awful!
