Class Warfare: Stop Denying It
Let’s quit the polite fiction. This is class warfare,
raw, naked, undeniable. On one side is the working class: everyone who works, wants
to work, and depends on labor to survive. On the other side is the privileged
capitalist class, parasites who feed off investments, off rents, off the
sweat of your back and mine.
Draw the Line
If you work, you’re in the working class. You're in the
working class if you live on your paycheck, pension, and wages. If you have so
much money that work is beneath you, congratulations, you’re in the privileged
class. And let’s not pretend: that privileged class doesn’t just tilt the
scales, it owns the scales, the courthouse, and the law itself.
They live in another world, floating above reality,
insulated by wealth they didn’t earn. They don’t understand the working world,
and worse, they don’t care to. To them, your struggle is just a rounding error
on their quarterly report.
History’s Bloody Lesson
This is not new. This war has been waged for centuries.
Every gain by workers, every right, and every dignity was bought with blood,
strikes, uprisings, and unyielding sacrifice. And every time, the privileged
class claws it back, tightening the chains, daring us to fight again. That’s
the cycle. And here we are again.
No Easy Way Out
Let’s not sugarcoat it: there is no easy way out. There is
no polite compromise with people who live off your labor while crushing you
under their heel. The privileged class will not surrender power because you ask
nicely. History shows that workers only win when they force the issue, when
they disrupt, when they march, when they boycott, when they refuse to play the
rigged game.
The Constitution Is Ours, Not Theirs
And don’t forget: the Constitution is not theirs. It belongs
to us. Every oath sworn to it was not an oath to capital, not an oath to a
dictator, not an oath to privilege. It was to the people, and to the idea that
all are equal under the law. Over the centuries, one unbroken promise has been
to defend that Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Look around, those enemies are domestic, entrenched in wealth and power, mocking
the document they swore to uphold.
Time to Choose
So call it what it is: class warfare. They have declared it.
They are winning. And they will keep winning until the working class remembers
its power and history and fights back. Whether it’s the ballot box, the picket
line, the boycott, or the street, the message must be the same: we will not
be ruled.
Silence is surrender. And surrender means slavery.
