Culling The Working Class: Acceleration and the Period of Capitalist Democide | Jeff Shantz (December,2025)

By on • ( Laisser un commentaire )

Capital has lost its patience with keeping unneeded working-class people alive. Notably in the very center of advanced capital and so-called liberal democracies (“the West”). Any and all social policies that even minimally address the needs of the unneeded working class—social housing, welfare, shelters, disability benefits, harm reduction, etc.)—are drains on accumulation. They are, from capital’s perspective, wasted resources, unacceptable costs—at a time when capital needs to squeeze out all it can get.

Capitalists, Global Warming, & the Climate Justice Movement | James Herod (2009)

Can the climate justice movement stop global warming? No, it can not. To do that it would have to be able to destroy capitalism. This objective, however, is hardly even on the agenda for most climate activists, and if it were they wouldn’t have an inkling about a strategy for doing so. Hardly anyone does nowadays. If a movement can’t even identify the root cause of a problem, how can it possibly solve it?

Workers Solidarity Alliance was founded in 1984, it is therefore US’ oldest continuous anarchist national organization. WSA enjoys Friends Status with the International Workers Association, IWA/AIT, which was founded in 1922, and is the world’s oldest continuous anarchist international. 

« Some of us were also members of IWW, and without doubt we loved IWW, but also craved a worker’s organization that saw the social revolution as the alternative to the State. »
