CLASS WARFARE

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.
