a truly huge shock. it’s almost as if the far right is allowed to grow because of its unthreatening relationship to big business! 🤔

sorry to all the alt right edgelords who thought you were really subversive. turns out you’re just run of the mill republicans with more open racism! v sad.

Ha, as if. I don’t know the full political implications in Brazil, but you said Republicans so let’s talk America and things that are sad. Namely, the fact that big business looooves the idea of open borders, because that means desperate immigrants willing to work for cheap, which is good for their bottom line.

You support the unions, yes? Well open borders are the worst thing for workers rights. Workers are a resource just like anything else, and if you have an abundance of a resource, the price of it goes down. What bargaining power do unions possibly have if there’s a constant stream of scabs pouring in from south of the border?

You’re the one carrying water for the monoploy man, friend. They know immigrant workers have lower standards for treatment in the US, because at least it’s better than back home, so you can bet they’ll exploit that as much as they can.

the reason migrants work for cheap is because their position in society is precarious due to migration law. there’s not actually some gene that activates when people cross a border that makes them hunger for low paid, exploitative work. they work for cheap because they know if they kick up a fuss they’ll get deported. the answer to this is not only citizenship but full union rights for all workers so we can fight for better conditions for all, as one. 

the absolute tragedy of your ideology is you seem to recognise that the ‘monopoly man’ is your enemy and yet for some reason choose to align yourself with him and believe him when he tells you the reason he treats you like shit is because migrants exist rather than the material reality that your labour creates his wealth and it’s in his interest to keep you poor, distracted and fighting against the people you should be fighting alongside, which is true of migrants, women, black people, or any other category you want to split the working class into. 

look throughout history, there’s countless examples of the ‘monopoly man’(i hate you for making me use this term btw) siding with the fascists because they’ll protect the status quo of the current property relations and thus, his place at the top of society. you won’t find one example of him arguing for collective ownership of the productive forces and putting the workers in charge of society. it’s not me who’s carrying his water, it’s you.
