1 1 Third Worldist s Lament on American Vanguards Dear AmeriKKKan Comrade, Our situation has perplexed me too long. How is it that Marxists can t effectively unite in communities to seed propaganda and serve the people? Isn t communism supposed to be more efficient? How long can our persecution complex mask our failures? I offer two reasons for this mitigation of our true potential. The first is for the poor proletariat, and the second for the affluent proletariat. Together in synthesis, we can do great things. One reason is illegalism, especially the drug trade. It has been a force to be reckoned, undoubtedly, but it has served its purpose in resistance. It may sound specious, but the bourgeoisie now encourages illegalism. When one is charged with a crime, all one s rights are stripped. In the constitution it literally says slavery is legal if one is a criminal. These are classic capitalist tricks to defer responsibility and use the letter of the law to oppress people. Nothing new, but some still made it through the drug game to serve the people. What has changed though, is mass surveillance. No longer does one get lucky and walk away. We see all these music stars allegedly moving billions of drugs, but somehow the government can t crack down? Highly unlikely. Spyware is in all processors. One of the ONLY ways to have a non-rooted device by the CIA is LibreBoot PC, but even then zero day hackers work 24/7 for the NSA. I need not say more as spying nano-drones are deployed. Is it then, perhaps possible, that Marxist drug trafficking has been inverted on us? Think. As long as the government forces us to illegal means, our political voice is 100% silenced. This is very ideal for them. Not only does it convince Marxist traffickers to be quiet, but destabilizes them with PTSD, and

2 2 the nail in the coffin is alienated greed. This is fed by de-facto diplomatically immune citizens, showcasing Lumpen behavior. Of course those model citizens are untouched. Everyone knows the street has been worse now too. People are so desperate, the material availability of trust is no longer available. Coupled with lumpen brainwashing, the street is just a crab tank now. How could there be trust when the government can arrest anyone at random? My conclusion is that the s of American trafficking is over, and allusions to that is reactionary, and cabalistic. The people must be served in a new way. The adrenaline of survival and anger can t mask our pain. We must embrace our poor condition to be self-aware. The second reason for our impediment is a flagrant criticism of American communists. Many, often myself, take for granted the superprofits of our imperialism. We whine and complain of poverty, but others are still far worse off. The American communist jumps to the keys to defend themselves with studies of how America is almost as bad as the third world. That can be true for many people, but the fact still remains, it s not. I see American communists as weak and privileged, especially with the new influx of those showing off, not reading literature, and not serving the people. Every time I meet with American communists groups (not the street communist gangs I knew, but college clubs), the thought of serving the people is terrifying in its rawest form. Food trucks and clothes are not enough! Housing is the basis of life; yet, the rich shake in their boots at living with a poor person, and all the problems that come with it. Most of America s recent wealth and privilege was from the baby boomer era. Now, as the capitalistic system falters, patriarchy increases in intensity. There isn t enough money to go around with the expectations of spoiled, old, white people. How ironic is it that they have blasted millennials as spoiled, when objectively, baby boomer whites had it vastly easier than all of us?

3 3 The affluent proletariat is silenced for much the same reason as the poor one. There is always someone watching. For a person disagreeing with their parents (patriarchs), illness and poverty quickly follow. For a person disagreeing with their system (patriarchs) and fighting the good Marxist fight, arrest and torture await. Free speech has been culled. Even if not speech, associations are locked down to prevent unity of rich and poor proles. The rich can t disagree with their patriarch, and the poor can t disagree with theirs either. I beseech you to study defying those patriarchs as means of resistance. We must humble ourselves and become economically independent from patriarchs. Economic dependence is ALWAYS free speech censorship. The economy can t afford a luxurious lifestyle that s independent of baby boomer parents or pimping, sorry. Without the integrity to change our expectations and starve, the rich and poor prole s mind will never be theirs in this age of desperation. We need your voice comrades! NOW not later! From poor and rich, the rebuttal to their own entrapment is that it s for the greater good. Surely the materials from my reactionary parents allow me to go on to save the world! Surely shooting my brother for money is just what it is, and the money will go to the poor! This needs to stop!!! How ironic is it that our own ego convinced us we would be a savior after reading X books or doing Y things. That s not communism, that s imperialism. As Che once said, There are no liberators. The people liberate themselves. Marx said that the brutality of late stage capitalism would discipline the proletariat to be able to overcome. I don t see that. I don t see eating for $1/day. I don t see communists skipping over name brands. I see the spoilage that the baby boomers attacked us for. Rich or poor, we are soldiers, damn it! Where is the discipline? Where is the self-sacrifice? Everyone is too in fear of their patriarch to stand up and seize the means of production.

4 4 Here s a sample budget of 5 comrades living together. If people can save ~3k USD in a month, they can buy property nearly instantly and then exponentially save more and more. My thought is that although the commune s collective pool exists, their share can be owned as personal property in case of any major arguments or others slacking on work ( From each according to their ability, to each according to their work ). Ideally the Waqfs created would be voted on directly for charity/reinvestment, but helping Reds get economically independent is almost as important. Waqfs are a wholly voluntary concept, but the cultural communism influence from the housing setup should be enough force. It always baffled me how blocks on the street would combat with one another instead of just pooling together to have a better chance with capital. But there s reasons like uncertainty, violence,

5 5 and government subversion. In a rice & beans commune resembling what I proposed, there s few excuses. This is exactly my point with American comrades. They always have a laundry list of why they didn t actually do something. Instead, they break windows and get on TV when they should be helping starving comrades through unification (not just hand outs). The gridlock has become an electric dog fence. Here s some of the excuses, sarcastically: My dying parents live in X place, so I gotta die with them from the same capitalist vices. I would betray my lumpen class if I left! It s all I know, my people! My family is dying from capitalism, so I have to try more capitalism to save them from inevitable destruction. right. I go to X college, do Y program or Z sport, so I ll stay blind to my emotions, never doing what s My partner/spouse isn t a communist, so I ll respect their freezy peaches and do nothing at all! I have a good job! Even though they abuse me emotionally and Marx said we d all be reduced to minimum wage, I still think I m Jesus and will land a baller promotion to help the poors!! My superprofits are comfortable, and I feel I have mental problems even though my health is shit from capitalism and I never addressed that. Smokes cigarette and pops Xanax. I challenge the rich comrades to not shy from the poor ones, and poor ones from rich. If your patriarch disallows audience with the other class, disavow all loyalty, because it is divisive. We are one people. We need to lift each other up to be each other s saviors. This means moving together, away from patriarchal influences.

6 6 If economic independence can be achieved, free speech will return. With economic independence and true free speech, the propaganda machine can go in full swing. We already know the people love communism. It s just a matter of communication. Even with reactionaries, you can convince them of things such as capitalism doesn t give you YOUR money, ironically. We can do it comrades! Shove off the dead weight, and start developing housing plans to save rax like a true G. I will be the first to move to you, or you to me. May the rich and poor starve together, Third Worldist
