In one of the richest spots in the US homeless workers have to submit *proof of employment* to be allowed to sleep in their cars.

Welcome to America: people shivering in their cars overnight in subzero temperatures for the privilege of keeping Frisco, Colorado's economy booming.

The kicker: the homeless ski instructors, snowplow drivers, and restaurant servers sleeping in their cars in this resort town have to pay $75 a month for a spot in the parking lot.

There is no hope for America. There is no saving America, only destroying it. We in America aren't suffering. We don't know what suffering is. The worst, most painful suffering you'd see in America is superceded by the average daily suffering of the working classes of colonized and semi-colonial countries. The labor aristocracies of imperial core countries have nothing to be liberated from other than their own existences.

Because of imperialism, the main contradiction isn't just between the bourgeoisie and proletariat within nations but also between the oppressor nations of the Global North and the oppressed nations of the Global South. The exploitation of the proletariat in the Global South is shaped by historical colonialism and ongoing imperialism, meaning revolutionary potential lies mainly in colonized and semi-colonial countries rather than in advanced capitalist nations. #socialism #capitalism #communism

This is exactly why a socialist revolution likely isn't gonna happen any time soon in imperial core countries like America. Most workers in America don't hate capitalism enough to revolt, and why should they? They gain the most benefits from capitalism than any of the other workers in the world. If another socialist revolution is going to happen, it's going to be in Peru, India, or Africa, not America, Canada, or Britain. #socialism #communism #capitalism
