Hi ,

In his famous book, Capital, Karl Marx drew the connection between capitalism and vampires. He wrote that capitalism “only lives sucking living labor and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.”

Look around you.

The vampires of the top 1% continue to feed and are allowed to do so without hesitation or restraint.

They feed off of the workers and, in return, offer wages that are well below the ever-increasing cost of living.

They feed off of the planet with endless drilling for oil and perpetual wars. In the midst of a full-blown climate crisis, they refuse to admit their fault in causing irreversible damage to our planet.

They adamantly fight against a system that provides healthcare for all as they continue to put profits over the value of life.

Just like the vampires in legends, the 1% will not stop feeding until all that is left of their victim is a dry husk.

But there is some good news!

You see, the vampires of legend had specific rules that they had to abide by and certain traits that would reveal their true nature. When the townspeople knew these rules and traits, they were able to protect themselves from the vampires.

Consider this:

Vampires could only enter a home if they were invited in.

The capitalist system exists by being built on the back of workers. Workers are taught and trained to keep their heads down and be thankful for what they are given.

In this way, workers continue to invite the current vampiric system into our homes by not demanding accountability and fairness. We allow politicians to compromise our needs to the point that what we DO get is nothing close to what we told the politicians we need.

Drawing a line in the sand and demanding that corporations pay their fair share of taxes, demanding Medicare for all, and demanding a living wage is the first step towards keeping the vampires away.

They had no reflection when they looked into a mirror.

It is almost impossible to believe the level of blatant hypocrisy that is being normalized.

We have an administration that lies constantly. Then the administration lies about lying only to then lie about lying about lying.

Donald Trump disbanded the White House pandemic office only to later deny his involvement as COVID-19 spread across the country. He dedicated his time to spreading dangerous misinformation about the virus. Meanwhile, hard-working people finding themselves with no income have had no choice but to watch in horror as the bills begin to pile up even higher and they are receiving no aid from the system that is supposed to protect them.

Trump claimed in 2016 that he would be working so hard for the people that he wouldn’t have time to play golf. However, he has spent over 2300 hours golfing at the expense of the taxpayers. This golf tab is at over $133,000,000 and it continues to rise.

How much of a hypocrite does someone have to be to be incapable of seeing their reflection in a mirror? Anybody else would be ashamed of what they see.

They had the supernatural ability to charm others.

The Trump administration’s incompetence will go down in history as one of the darkest times in our nation’s history. They have wasted no time in finding ways to continue to support corporate interests at the expense of the working class. The disregard for our people, our allies, and our planet is enough to make someone sick.

But so many people still insist on voting against their own interests by supporting him. It is as if these people are under a spell that prevents them from seeing how little this administration cares about them and just how much worse the problems are becoming.

We need people to stop making excuses for the man who is dedicating every moment of his presidency to undermining the needs of the people.

Garlic would drive a vampire away and protect the wearer.

Apparently, there isn’t garlic in a Big Mac.

But in all seriousness…

We are not going to succeed by attempting to reason with this vampire of a system.

It can’t be done.

The only way that the working class is going to have their needs met is with an Ecosocialist Green New Deal. We cannot continue to allow our people and our planet to be victimized by a parasitic system that doesn’t care about the 99%.

Together, we can drive a stake through the heart of this system.

We're calling on you to help us.
