There is no joy, it's keeping them distracted and inactive in activism with the assumption the government will take care of it.

It's the bullshit of hard work will result in success and money. The bullshit propaganda of 'built out of their garbage' its so easy anyone can do it, if only you work hard enough. And if you are not a successful independently wealthy individual you didn't work hard enough and you are to blame, not the system that's designed to keep large segments of society poor for the benefit of the rich.

Always beware of the fact, that the only thing hindering an all-out revolution is your fear of losing the scraps they throw at you.

He won't be sentenced or ever face jail time.

The Pitfalls of Liberalism - Kwame Ture (redsails.org)
 

While the liberal is part of the oppressor, he is the most powerless segment within that group. Therefore when he seeks to talk about change, he always confronts the oppressed rather than the oppressor. He does not seek to influence the oppressor, he seeks to influence the oppressed. He says to the oppressed, time and time again, “You don’t need guns, you are moving too fast, you are too radical, you are too extreme.” He never says to the oppressor, “You are too extreme in your treatment of the oppressed,” because he is powerless among the oppressors, even if he is part of that group; but he has influence, or, at least, he is more powerful than the oppressed, and he enjoys this power by always cautioning, condemning, or certainly trying to direct and lead the movements of the oppressed.

BlackRock and other asset managers are profiting off of every aspect of your life.

They claim they’re just passive investors, but they're concentrating money and power in the hands of a few ultra-rich people.

It's not a conspiracy — it's an open restructuring of society.

Karl Marx on 3rd parties and 'splitting the vote' (www.marxists.org)

Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the democrats, who will maintain that the workers’ candidates will split the democratic party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled. The progress which the proletarian party will make by operating independently in this way is infinitely more important than the disadvantages resulting from the presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body. If the forces of democracy take decisive, terroristic action against the reaction from the very beginning, the reactionary influence in the election will already have been destroyed.
