This is a revolutionary moment.
So is this.

Every empire believes it is untouchable, that it can kill without consequence, that its violence will silence history itself. And yet, where are the Romanovs? The reckoning always arrives.
Watch the empire’s theater: one faction feigns compassion, the other snarls. The offer itself is the insult, a hollow gesture from rulers who let children go sick while they posture. In Russia, these were the games that preceded collapse.

Do not let them confuse you with talk of an "affordability crisis." We do not want cheaper scraps from the empire’s table. We want it all.

When Empire depends on private gold, it serves private gold. This is not democracy. It is feudalism.

You weep at the destruction of a building in your capital. Meanwhile, your neighbors are disappeared.

You exhaust yourselves, gnashing your teeth at the Tsar, when you should be destroying the throne.

In 1905, we brought petitions; the Tsar met us with rifles. To your rulers, your protest is a noisy, temporary, inconvenience, clutter on the streets. You go home and quietly wait for the next election. And yet, they exact the violence of empire on you, too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperia...

They speak of law, yet wield it as Tsarist police once did: arbitrary, brutal, theatrical. The spectacle is meant to paralyze the people with despair. But despair is tinder. One spark ignites it into uprising.

The real scandal is a system where citizenship is reduced to donation, where the people are asked not to govern, but to fund their governors. What is ActBlue, but a collection plate for corporate liberalism? Democracy begins when we stop paying to be ignored.

These Democrats are no better than the Kadets. At every turning point, the liberals chose order over justice. They sent in troops when we asked for peace. They clung to empire while children starved. And they wonder why the people turned away from them.

Under the Tsar, reading was a privilege, not a right. Workers built night schools & gendarmes raided them. Peasants taught each other to write & they were beaten as agitators. To rule an empire, the people must be kept ignorant. This is not governance. It is the calculated starvation of the mind.

A lesson from Petrograd: If someone speaks to you of democracy while shaking hands with reactionaries, they are not on your side. They are securing their own position, not yours.

The American Dream is to profit off the labor of others so you can afford to have a bank as a landlord.
