government is civil war
Capitalism is inevitable
and natural
they say
but was that really the case
on the day
the enclosures
stole the commons away.
and peasants pushed
into the city
to work under the bosses' rule
in wage slavery
where striking could mean starvation
a huge act of bravery
and the way we think of women today
was formed in the witch-hunts
Now Capitalism strengthens
Patriarchy
and wouldn't do without it.
could there be a
'Feminist capitalism'
I very much
FUCKING DOUBT IT!!
change the faces on the hierarchy
women bosses sit in boardroom tower
black faces push white supremacy
the house slaves co-opted by white power.
our oppression is sold to us
as progress
that now numbers of the marginalized
have joined those who oppress.
Power prefers for our anger to be contained
so makes use of ballot boxes reforms
political parties and law
-Representative democracy itself-
to keep existing oppression maintained.
Whatever
wherever
whoever
to govern is to set yourself
above the mass
NO State can EVER
be of or for the people
but only for
the ruling class.
The State's true face
is the tank and the gun
there will never be justice in the world
until we run our own lives
and
state rule is over
and done.
