If we measure the ratio of profits to wages in Marxist terms, namely as the rate of surplus value, we find that it has never been so high.

Searches related to Communist manifesto increased by 50% compared to last 3 months, 250% compared to same period last year and over 5000% in last 5 years which indicated a clear and continious growing trend.

Support rate of Socialism in America is on all time highs and in Eastern Europe governments hastily ban promotion of Communism while in in western Europe openly Communist parties like KPÖ win on local elections.

Riots are errupting in France, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, New York, India and many more, while protests are scheaduled all over the world.

According to the dialectics, quantative change preceeds qualitative change.

One thing is clear, crisis of capitalism has brought back the Marxist ideas onto the table.

It is time for us to burst out of the Communist dominated spaces and stoke the flames of rising class consciousness.

To be clear, I am not asking you to go from door to door. Right now, we are in a phase of quantative change. Make class conscious posts in non-communist subs, start with simple concepts like material class antagonism, don't use big words, apolitical people won't hear you out when you try to explain what Communism really is, but they will hear you out when you explain how their landlord benefits from higher rents while they suffer from them.

Make a class conscious meme or two abd post them on meme subs.

Start a tiktok channel and create content without your face or voice neccesarily exposed.

(As I do, Victims of Capitalism, if you want examples).

Communicate with the people from your social circle starting from easy concepts.

The change is already on it's way, now it just needs a little push, keep the ball rolling.

Mélenchon: "They tell us, we must reassure the markets. Reassure the markets? What are their names? Where do they live? Let me go and reassure them! What market? What are you talking about? There is no market. There are hedge funds, financial companies and insurance companies"

Mélenchon? We want to hear more of his refreshing lateral thinking: "Gross domestic product. I dig a hole, GDP goes up. I fill it in, GDP goes up. I get into my car, drive into a wall, GDP goes up because we have to rebuild the wall and repair the car. GDP is just a valuation"

Mitterrand warned that if France ever lost her de facto African colonies, then France would be permanently poor. Later Chirac repeated this warning. Well now it's happening. Africa is kicking the disgusting French imperialists out for good. Macron warns against pessimism, but pessimism is realism

In 1957, while serving as a prominent minister during the Fourth Republic (and writing in his book Présence française et abandon), François Mitterrand famously warned:

"Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century."

Jacques Chirac (2005 / widely cited transcript):

"We bled Africa for four and a half centuries... a large part of the money in our banks comes precisely from the exploitation of the African continent."

Jacques Chirac (March 2008):

"Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third-world power."
