| BREAK THE CHAINS |
We
are living
through
a period of mounting populism. The aim is to divide workers by
nationalist and racist rhetoric. Against this, we need to tear down
all walls and
connect workers to solidarity and mutual aid. Let’s make our
struggles for better living conditions and for a world without
exploitation and oppression.
Today,
more than ever, we insist that the working class and the capitalist
class have nothing in common and any hope in governments is not part
of the solution, but part of the problem.
We
could spend the rest of our days trying to solve social problems one
by one, but they stem from the same source – our capitalist
economic system. No piecemeal solution will serve; we need to rethink
everything according to a different logic. To change anything,
start at the cause.
Are
you living the way you want
to live, or the way the ruling class wants you to live? You have a
choice, but do you choose based on your own decisions or on the
decisions imposed on you by this capitalist society?
You act, but are you acting out of your own volition or because you
have been conditioned. Even those with the best hearts-
including ourselves- have been raised in ignorance, with
disinformation. Our examples of happiness are fake, sponsored, and
used to sell products. People are immensely repressed and
experience tremendous suffering. Their lives are a slow torture. The
'haves' only retain higher status and power by making sure they use
every means at their disposal to limit and control the 'have nots'.
Yet,
life can be lived in a totally different way — a way that allows us
to live up to our fullest potential, that helps us to find
joy and contentment and
peace, that brings us freedom to be spontaneous and make the
most out of our life’s
journey.
A way that turns existence into a celebration, filled with
beautiful moments that make life truly worth living.
For
this to happen, however, we need a big shift in our consciousness. A
good first step to achieving this is to escape the herd
mentality that surrounds us by rebelling against anything that is
imprisoning our minds. When you acquire the courage and the strength
to say a big NO to capitalism
and
break free from the mental shackles that were imposed on you since
the very day you were born, great things will start happening. Most
workers don’t think for
themselves — instead, they let others like politicians and the
bosses media do the thinking for them. They are easily persuaded by
the herd mentality and never stop for a moment to question anything
that they’ve been told. Today's "heroes" are
manufactured, phony, and are just successful brands used to promote
other brands. The examples we're encouraged to idolize are all
wealthy individuals famous for superficial trend reasons, not for any
inherent genuine value of character or contribution to the world.
Once your way of thinking stops being influenced by our social
and economic system, you start using your reason more.
Our fellow workers when faced with any
problems, place their only hope in some leader who will help them.
But by themselves, our fellow workers feel totally helpless. We must
begin
to hone the art of free
thinking, by not believing
anything without evidence, by not accepting what doesn’t resonate
with our own experiences. Responsibility and freedom always go hand
in hand. Learn
to take responsibility into our own hands. Do not trust in
saviors of any kind, for example, politicians.
Socialists don’t
allow leaders to dictate to us or to control our thought and
behaviour
A marxist materialist doesn’t
walk on a predetermined path — we create our own path.
Understand
the system. Attack the cause. Channel all our outrage into building a
new world. A sense of purpose could be found making our lives our own
and worth living again by striving to create socialism.
