Bringing the revolution to Tumblr.

Who is MarxAndMore

Greetings Tumblr comrades! My name is MarxAndMore! I am a university student, specializing in history, with a firm dedication to Marxism. I am starting this blog to share some of my knowledge and ideas on various Marxist, and broader societal and economic topics. I will be posting long form content in the form of essays, book summaries with annotation, book reviews, as well as inspirational quotes! I will also be crossposting my long form content in English and Dutch to a side blog for easy access. https://www.tumblr.com/marxandmorelong

Please follow me, and if you have any suggestions for books that I should cover, or specific topics for essays that I should write, please do not hesistate to send me a message.

Long live the revolution! Long live Marxism!

So that it’s easier to digest:

Proposals to defund the police

Police Household: 49.2% Support

Non-Police Household: 30% Support

Proposals to dismantle the police

Police Household: 52.2% Support

Non-Police Household: 30.1% Support

Proposals to redirect money from LAPD budget

Police Household: 63.7% Support

Non-Police Household: 50.6% Support

TL;DR: Cop Households are more anti-cop than non-cop households, and they’re the ones who have to live with cops and deal with cops daily.

Hmmmmm it’s almost like being a power hungry boot licking stooge who would sign up as a murderous pawn of the state doesn’t make for pleasant people to be around 🤔

Kindness is free. Homeless people are people first, homeless second. Treat everyone with dignity, no matter their individual capabilities, looks, financial, or social status.

In every American community, you have varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally. So here, then, is a lesson in safe logic.

[Verse 1]

I cried when they shot Medgar Evers

Tears ran down my spine

And I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy

As though I'd lost a father of mine

But Malcolm X got what was coming

He got what he asked for this time

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Get it?

[Verse 2]

I go to civil rights rallies

And I put down the old D.A.R.

(D.A.R., that's the Dykes of the American Revolution)

I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy

I hope every colored boy becomes a star

But don't talk about revolution

That's going a little bit too far

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 3]

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen

My faith in the system restored

I'm glad that the Commies were thrown out

Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board

And I love Puerto Ricans and Negros

As long as they don't move next door

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 4]

Ah, the people of old Mississippi

Should all hang their heads in shame

Now, I can't understand how their minds work

What's the matter don't they watch Les Crane?

But if you ask me to bus my children

I hope the cops take down your name

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 5]

Yes, I read New Republic and Nation

I've learned to take every view

You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden

I feel like I'm almost a Jew

But when it comes to times like Korea

There's no one more red, white and blue

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 6]

I vote for the Democratic party

They want the U.N. to be strong

I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts

He sure gets me singing those songs

And I'll send all the money you ask for

But don't ask me to come on along

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 7]

Sure, once I was young and impulsive

I wore every conceivable pin

Even went to socialist meetings

Learned all the old union hymns

Ah, but I've grown older and wiser

And that's why I'm turning you in

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[anarcho-catboyism]

A system where every few years we have to drum up majority support to vote to maintain basic human rights isn't a sustainable nor healthy system to live under. We shouldn't live in a system where at any point some rich white guy can decide he wants to spend the next year trying to eliminate human rights. Yes, go vote, we are currently living in that toxic system, but the rest of the year we need to be building safety nets outside of the system. We cannot rely on the "good will" of powerful people, we can rely on each other.

Just as it ever was

[marxandmore]

Just wanted to let all of my followers know that I am currently busy writing my essay on Marxist dialectics. I am also reading a lot of theory to make this happen, so don't be surprised if it takes me a little while to complete. I hope to finish it within 3 weeks from now.

Marxism: Wonderful theory, wrong species.

That guy sounds like an idiot

[marxandmore]

Especially hilarious when you consider that Marxism takes as its basis both the means necessary to sustain human life, as well as the study of particularly human (economic) history.
