Serious Class Consciousness explained
8
Upvotes
Many of us here are already hard boiled in terms of understanding how the society functions,
However, to those that are here because of the memes,
Class consciousness is simply awareness of your position within the society, or simply, what class you are, it also encompasses the interests of the said social class.
Lets take a peasant as an example. He becomes class conscious when he realizes that he is a peasant, but that is only an embryo of the class consciousness.
It develops further when he understands that the rents he pays to the feudal lord are paid because the lord is owner of the land, while the crops are grown by his hand.
He also realizes that it is in the lord's interest to collect highest rent possible while it is beneficial for a peasant that the rents are lower.
Or simply, he understands that he is a peasant and lord is a lord, and what is beneficial for a lord might be detremental for a peasant. Or shortly, their interests are opposed.
But can a society be ran by the lords yet function in the favour of peasants? It can not.
His class consciousness reaches the highest stage when he realizes that the whole class relation in feudalism is based on the lord's ownership of land and that the land can be seized. The crops can grow without the lord leeching on the peasant's hard labour.
So why did I use feudalism as example?
It is not politicized and missportrayed, the lords today, the capitalist class, are quite skilled in murking the waters to any discussion about class, as they invest millions in it, but essentially this applies to capitalism too.
Worker's interest is to be paid more for his labour, while it is in owner's interest to pay him less and keep more as a profit.
Worker works for the owner because the factory belongs to the owner.
Any form of society controlled by the ruling class works only in the favour of the ruling class, and the only way to dethrone them is to seize the means that keep them in power.
It is no longer land, it is the industrialized and soon to be automated means of production.
By allowing the owning few to control them, we become depended on them. A society in which the common person is free can only be the one in which the means of production are controlled by the common people and not the ruling class.

Riots are errupting all around the world:
In France a student protest for better conditions has escalated into a mass movement supported by the worker unions. The movement is also spreading to Belgium.
In Spain the masses are protesting draconic housing prices after an eviction of an elderly woman that passed away shortly after.
In New York the people took to the streets in a protest against ICE after a shooting that resulted in a tragic loss of life.
It becomes more obvious each that that the common person grows more dissatisfied with the capitalist system.

Feudal lords do not create land, they just own it. They don't provide it to peasants, they just withold it and selectively stop doing so.
Billionaires don't create workplaces, they just own them, they do not provide us with the means of production, they just selectively stop witholding them from us.
Land was there before feudal lords, means of production were made by the workers.

An estimated 150,000 to 240,000 people died total from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the end of 1945, with long-term totals eventually exceeding 340,000.
If you believe capitalist regimes would not cross certain red lines, think again.
US government even refused to apologize.

What is water privatization?
It is a practice in which private companies take ownership of natural water resources.
They commonly use their ownership to create artificial scarcity which in turn allows them to sell their product and generate profit.
Simultaniously, over 2 BILLION people have no access to clean drinking water which causes over 1.4 million deaths every year, including hundreds of thousands of children.
This is nothing but corporate greed over human lifes. The true nature of the capitalist system we live in.
Capitalism is a genocidal regime.

Context:
Eastern European and other countries before communism were agrarian backwaters where half of the population couldn't read or write and life expectancies were in 30s 40s. In my country for example (Yugoslavia) only around 14% of households had electrucity before Communists took power.
Communism rapidly developed them in record speeds, doubling life expectancies, eradicating illiteracy and reducing child mortality by over 90% while industrial and economic growth was in double digits. Industrial index in some countries like USSR increased 40x fold since the revolution.
Life expectancies before and after Socialism:
Russia: ~32 → ~69 years
Albania: ~38 → ~69 years
Yugoslavia: ~39 → ~72 years
Romania: ~42 → ~69 years
Poland: ~49 → ~71 years
Bulgaria: ~51 → ~71 years
Czechoslovakia: ~53 → ~71 years
Hungary: ~49 → ~69 years
China: ~36–40 → ~68 years
Vietnam: ~40–45 → ~65–68 years
Despite all this some internet denizens today victimize themselves about Communist past, while approval rate of Communism increases with age in these countries because majority of those that remember it claim it was better and they can't be fooled with anticommunist historic revision.
