Fuck Yeah Marxism-Leninism

A Communist should have largeness of mind and he should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as his very life and subordinating his personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere he should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; he should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about himself. Only thus can he be considered a Communist.
--Mao Zedong

Why incomes plunged during capitalist ‘recovery’

By Fred Goldstein

The mass of the people fell back financially during the latest so-called capitalist recovery — even more than they did during the crisis of 2007 to 2009.

A Sentier Research LLC analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows that median household income in the U.S. fell 2.7 percent during the crisis that began in December 2007 and officially ended in June 2009. But household income fell 4.8 percent — almost double that — since the downturn through June 2012. The Sentier report was written by two former Census Bureau analysts.(bloomberg.com, Aug. 23)

The studies are silent on what is behind this drop in household income. The capitalists are recovering, but for the workers this is a long-term, endless jobless recovery. And the bosses are using high unemployment to attack workers’ wages and benefits. Caterpillar workers, for example, were just forced into taking a six-year wage freeze and big benefit givebacks in one of the greatest setbacks for the labor movement since the crisis began.
