whoever clocked the tea that all these large corporations sponsoring computer programming/coding “bootcamps” aren’t doing it from the kindness of their hearts to help young ppl and marginalized people get skills like they’re doing it to flood the job market of people who can code so they can lower the wages of people they hire as employees like that’s so wild to me

Any politics which centers “empowerment” through individual lifestyle choices (like wearing make up, etc) is trying to sell you a neoliberal vision of empowerment to divert your attention from the structure and material basis of your oppression.

Empowerment is not good feelings, it’s the boot of the proletariat on the head of the bourgeoise.

We need to stop settling for the idea that some nice or peaceful adjustment of our lives will somehow free or liberate us.

Mao still said it best:

“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”

That’s what it takes for real empowerment.
