From the communist manifesto:
You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society.
In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend.
From the moment when labour can no longer be converted into capital, money, or rent, into a social power capable of being monopolised, i.e., from the moment when individual property can no longer be transformed into bourgeois property, into capital, from that moment, you say, individuality vanishes.
You must, therefore, confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.
I gotta say, the English translator for that edition of the party manifesto keeps saying “In one word,” instead of “In a sentence,”
Although perhaps, given how compound words work in German, I wouldn’t be surprised if those sentences were just one word in the original copy.
Other way around then it’s accurate.
In what manner? Liberals pretty up Capitalism despite it oppressing them.
I dont support bad central planning. Look at most countries entitlement systems, which is supposed to be a simple savings plan administered by the government, its as basic as it gets. They are now massive anchor that can capsize a country because of how poorly done they were.
Done in Capitalism, yes? Central planning works, we have proof.
This Pete Buttigieg in a nut shell. Let’s hope people like AOC are the future instead of him.
AOC was never anything but a “progressive” liberal, and she completely sold out not long after getting into office. Have we already forgotten that she voted to crush a worker strike and voted against raising minimum wage? She’s a scab and a career politician working for the wealthy donor class.

What are you on about? Buttigieg is one of the most educated, and courageous individuals pushing back against the trump agenda. Along with AOC, Al, and Bernie.
Okay maybe. He’s standing up to Trump. It just appeared to me he was like that meme during the 2020 primary.
Yeah, I suggest you take another look at Pete. I think he has a lot of potential.
I will take a look at him, I just got a bad impression from him going to Stop Bernie meetings during the 2020 primary.
That said he’s well spoken and a good ally to have during these trying times.
