Elon Musk purchases Twitter for over 40 Billion Dollars on April 25th 2022. The Left decries this as an end to their safe space, the Right celebrates this as a victory for Free Speech, but as your local Marxist I vehemently disagree. Unless Musk eliminates the algorithm that prioritizes echo chambers then we will not have free speech. To have free speech, we must have all opinions interact with each other daily to breed healthy discussion and debate. This constant challenge to ideas is what buil...

My reasoning for the decline in factual information being valued is the manipulation of social media. I believe that the wealthy classes of America created our current social media algorithms to divide people. They experience "culture shock" when they encounter groups and people other to their own.

I look at what is considered fitness is our society from a Marxist lens. In doing so I compare what Fitness actually is; functionality, and health. But I look at what is considered "fitness" in wider society which is vanity and excess. In a socialized society, gyms would be collectively owned where classes, membership, and trainers would not be blocked by monetary blocks. This would create an informed public in regards to basic body function, and increased standards of true fitness. Want to see ...
