***EXCLUSIVE TO RUMBLE *** I this video I explain the Marxist perspective on Law and Civil Disobedience as contextualized by Historical Materialism. “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” - Tacitus, The Annals of Imperial Rome. This video is not meant to encourage reckless law breaking. Responsible Civil Disobedience (as in the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1956) is only justified for valid reasons. Law is necessary, but Law must be subordinate to Human and Civil Rights. Law exists to serve Man, man does not exist to serve Law. Ref. https://christiananarchistheretic.blogspot.com/p/a-peoples-history-of-bus-boycotts.html "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." /// U.S. Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. "Bearing in mind as its fundamental problem the abolition of the exploitation of men by men, the entire abolition of the division of the people into classes, the suppression of exploiters, the establishment of a socialist society, and the victory of socialism in all lands, the Third All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers', and Peasants' Deputies further resolves: (a) For the purpose of attaining the socialization of land, all private property in land is abolished, and the entire land is declared to be national property and is to be apportioned among agriculturists without compensation of the former owners, to the measure of each one's ability to till it. (b) All forests, treasures of the earth, and waters of general public utility, all equipment whether animate or inanimate, model farms and agricultural enterprises, are declared to be national property. (c) As a first step toward complete transfer of ownership to the Soviet Republic of all factories, mills, mines, railways, and other means of production and transportation, the soviet law for the control of workmen and the establishment of a Supreme Soviet of National Economy is hereby confirmed so as to insure the power of the workers over the exploiters. (d) With reference to international banking and finance, the Third Congress of Soviets is discussing the soviet decree regarding the annulment of loans made by the Government of the Czar, by landowners and the bourgeoisie, and it trust that the Soviet Government will firmly follow this course until the final victory of the international workers' revolt against the oppression of capital. (e) The transfer of all banks to the ownership of the Workers' and Peasants' Government, as one of the conditions of the liberation of the toiling masses from the yoke of capital, is confirmed. (f) Universal obligation to work is introduced for the purpose of eliminating the parasitic strata of society and organizing the economic life of the country. (g) For the purpose of securing the working class in the possession of complete power, and in order to eliminate all possibility of restoring the power of the exploiters, it is decreed that all workers be armed, and that a Socialist Red Army be organized and the propertied class disarmed." /// Constitution of the Soviet Republic. 1918.

WOKE has progressive intentions and its advocates are genuinely committed to social justice. The problem is that WOKE is a form of applied bourgeois ideology which amalgamates, in a non methodological and uncritical manner; concepts derived from Liberal identity, Intersectionality, Critical Race Theory and Post-Colonialism. WOKE is anti-Marxist because: (1) it denies the centrality of worker led class struggle as the only possible way to overthrow the dictatorship of capitalism (the source of social and racial injustice). (2) WOKE posits a subjective ideology which lacks an empirical basis in concrete anti-capitalist political-economic analysis. (3) WOKE accepts capitalism, its agenda is cultural reformist and not social revolutionary.

***EXCLUSIVE TO RUMBLE*** "Eunus (died 132 BC) was a Roman slave from Apamea in SYRIA who became the leader of the slave uprising in the First Servile War (135 BC–132 BC) in the Roman province of Sicily. EUNUS rose to prominence in the movement through his reputation as a prophet and wonder-worker and ultimately declared himself king. He claimed to receive visions and communications from the goddess Atargatis, a prominent goddess in his homeland whom he identified with the Sicilian Demeter. Some of his prophecies were that the rebel slaves would successfully capture the city of Enna and that he would be a king some day." (wiki) "The Second Servile War was an unsuccessful slave uprising against the Roman Republic on the island of Sicily. The war lasted from 104 BC until 100 BC. Led by a former slave called SALVIUS. Taking the previous slave-leader Eunus for his example, who had proclaimed himself an Antiochus of the Seleucid line, he assumed the name Tryphon, from Diodotus Tryphon, a Seleucid ruler." (wiki) "The Third Servile War (73-71 BCE), also called the Gladiator War and the War of SPARTACUS by Plutarch, was the last in a series of slave rebellions against the Roman Republic known as the Servile Wars.

The rich do as they wish... Our lords and princes encourage theft and robbery. The fish in the water, the birds in the sky, and the vegetation on the land all have to be theirs... They... preach to the poor: 'God has commanded that thou shalt not steal'. Thus, when the poor man takes even the slightest thing he has to hang."..." https://christiananarchistheretic.blogspot.com/2023/05/thomas-muntzer-b1489-executed-27-may.html ---- SWEDISH MARXIST-LENINIST PERSPECTIVES ON SECESSION FROM THE EU-NATO LATE-CAPITALIST IMPERIALIST SYSTEM : ***Kommunistiska Partiets (KP) program: (https://www.kommunisterna.org/politik/partiprogram) "(25) Imperialismens krig, klimatförändringarna och de enorma klyftorna mellan fattiga och rika tvingar miljontals människor att lämna sina hem och söka trygghet någon annanstans. Den överväldigande majoriteten av alla flyktingar är internflyktingar i sitt eget land eller flyr till ett grannland. Bara en liten del försöker och lyckas ta sig till Europa. Trots att det är de rika ländernas exploatering och krigföring som orsakar flyktingströmmarna gör de allt för att stänga oönskade migranter och flyktingar ute. En allt högre mur byggs runt Europeiska Unionen. (26) Kommunistiska Partiet hävdar varje nations rätt till självbestämmande som en princip för ett demokratiskt och jämlikt förhållande mellan jordens nationer och folk. Nationell ojämlikhet och nationella motsättningar kan bara utrotas om varje folk ges rätt att självt bestämma över sin egen framtid. Om det nationella självbestämmandet inte respekteras sprids nationell självgodhet, främlingsfientlighet och rasism i den förtryckande nationen. Detta påverkar också arbetarklassen, som ideologiskt riskerar att knytas till den härskande klassen och splittras i nationella grupperingar. När arbetare i sådana lägen sluter upp bakom ”sin” borgarklass förhindras arbetarklassens kamp för frigörelse. (27) Sverige är ett litet imperialistiskt land som aktivt deltar i imperialismens anfallskrig. Svenska soldater mördar för att försvara imperialistiska intressen. En mäktig vapenlobby har stort inflytande över svensk utrikespolitik och svenska vapen exporteras och används i krig över hela världen. Sverige deltar också i utplundringen av den fattiga delen av världen genom kapitalexport, ojämlik handel, ränteutplundring och genom medverkan i en lång rad av den imperialistiska världens gemensamma organisationer." ***Sveriges Kommunistiska Parti (politik) >>> (https://skp.se/partiet/politik-a-o/#eu) (https://skp.se/partiet/politik-a-o/#nato) "Den Europeiska Unionen är en union bildad för att understödja de europeiska monopolen i deras kamp med monopolen från andra delar av världen. Unionen är en imperialistisk union, vars uppgifter består i att skaffa så bra förhållanden som möjligt för de egna monopolen i konkurrens med andra imperialistiska centra runt om i världen, att bekämpa de egna befolkningarna och på så sätt höja de europeiska monopolens vinster på de egna befolkningarnas bekostnad och att vara ett bålverk mot kommunismen i medlemsländerna. Sveriges Kommunistiska Parti är absoluta motståndare till EU och vi kräver Sveriges utträde ur EU, men vi gör oss inga illusioner om vad ett utträde skulle betyda. Ett svenskt utträde, om inte revolutionen sker samtidigt, är en förändring av formerna och villkoren för de svenska monopolens utsugning av den egna befolkningen, av andra nationer och av deras konkurrens med andra monopol runt om i världen – utträdet är inget självändamål utan är intimt förknippat med vår kamp för socialismen." "NATO består idag av 28 kapitalistiska europeiska staters samt Turkiets militärorganisation under USA:s ledning (med 32 medlemmar inklusive Sverige). Den var vid sitt grundande 1949 riktad mot socialismen och är idag den europeiska och USA- imperialismens militära maktmedel i den globala ekonomiska maktkampen. NATO har bombat och styckat Jugoslavien, fört krig i Afghanistan, bistått USA i Irak och krossat Libyen. I Libyen har svenska JAS-plan fotograferat de bästa bombmålen. Till krigens följder hör miljoner flyktingar världen över. NATO...vinna Sverige och Finland som medlemsstater. SKP är mot svenskt NATO-medlemskap och anser att militärorganisationen ska upplösas. Opinionssiffrorna visar att en majoritet av svenskarna är mot NATO och dess kärnvapendoktrin. Men vapenindustrin, militären och politiker har pressat alla svenska regeringar till en smyganslutning. Idag är alliansfrihet slut. SKP kräver att Sverige varken ingår i en NATO-armé eller en EU-armé." ---- https://www.youtube.com/@MadeInHistory
