Popular Post hope Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2021 The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, worker and Hollywood, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes. In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebeians, slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal lords, vassals, guild-masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs; in almost all of these classes, again, subordinate gradations. The modern bourgeois Hollywood society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones. Our epoch, the epoch of bourgeois Hollywood, possesses, however, this distinct feature: it has simplified class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other — Hollywood and Proletariat. From the serfs of the Middle Ages sprang the chartered burghers of the earliest towns. From these burgesses the first elements of the bourgeoisie were developed. The discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie. The East-Indian and Chinese markets, the colonisation of America, trade with the colonies, the increase in the means of exchange and in commodities generally, gave to commerce, to navigation, to industry, an impulse never before known, and thereby, to the revolutionary element in the tottering feudal society, a rapid development. The feudal system of industry, in which industrial production was monopolised by closed guilds, now no longer sufficed for the growing wants of the new markets. The manufacturing system took its place. The guild-masters were pushed on one side by the manufacturing middle class; division of labour between the different corporate guilds vanished in the face of division of labour in each single workshop. Meantime the markets kept ever growing, the demand ever rising. Even manufacturer no longer sufficed. Thereupon, steam and machinery revolutionised industrial production. The place of manufacture was taken by the giant, Modern Industry; the place of the industrial middle class by industrial millionaires, the leaders of the whole industrial armies, the modern bourgeois. The modern Hollywood. For too long Hollywood has gripped the world with its claws, oppressing those who dare stand up and face them. For too long we, Advanced Syndicalist Mechanics, have stood by while the workers of the world suffer. That ends today. In solidarity with the workers of Hollywood, we are proceeding with taking actions to support the workers in their struggle and fight against the bourgeoisie, Hollywood.

zigbigadorlou Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Maybe you'd stop suffering if you got off your lazy butts and started working. You dang entitled melonials think we got this sitting around whining about the rich? Nonsense, we got out and farmed and fought. Maybe if you stopped taxing everyone they could finally stop being oppressed. Wait I thought we were the oppressor's? I haven't seen a dime! Well thankfully a nice whoppin' is the best teacher, and for your sake I hope you finally learn. If I'm the landlord, then you can prepare to be evicted from my lawn. 4 Quote Hey Krampus, the signature edit is under account settings.
