    Easier

    Although I’d love to see more class-conscious memes and activism.

    Yes, it’s harder to be black/hispanic. Yes, it’s harder to be a woman. Yes, it’s harder to be LGBT, especially T. But what really sucks so hard and hits almost all of us (and minorities often get it even worse due to workplace discrimination and lower rates of ownership!) is the oppression of the working class.

    Our most unscrupulous and evil oppressors don’t lose all that much from retranslating slogans about equality between people of all genders, races, sexual orientations etc.; in fact, they will play chameleon and pretend to support any dominant rhetoric - except the one that can actually make a giant change, but at their expense - the rhetoric of a class war. Combine this with corporate power and reach, and you’ll see how we got to addressing literally anything but not the elephant in the room.

    Worker-led societies generally promote equal access to jobs, education and services to people of all ethnicities, genders and other traits, bolster a culture of global friendship and cooperation, and promote sustainable development that puts people - all people - first.

    It’s in our common interest to put class war as our very first priority - for the greater good of us all.

      Where is it harder to be hispanic or black? In Hispanola or Africa? Life isn’t equally oppressive across the entire world
