The capitalist class and the bourgeois state are always waging class war against the workers. Every time they increase your hours, cut your wages, cut your benefits, increase your rent, increase your cost of living, gut your social safety nets, fire you, evict you, outsource your job…that’s class war. What they want is for you to not fight back; they want you to just silently take it like an obedient wage slave.
They want you to remain atomized, alienated and asleep, fighting over scraps against your fellow worker, not congnizant of your shared class interest and disengaged from any form of collective struggle. Blame yourself, blame the poor, blame the immigrant, blame “the other” who is different, just don’t look up to see the real architects of your misery above you. Never question the system and never ask why so many have so little while so few have so much - “the rich are just like you, don’t you know?”.
Yet workers have no choice but to fight the class war because they are always under attack. There will always be class war as long as there is class society, because the interests of the exploited and exploiter classes are irreconcilable and diametrically opposed. There is only one way that the class war can end, and that’s when one class eliminates the other. And since capitalists cannot exist without workers whereas workers can exist just fine without capitalists, there is no question who will be left standing and who will go into the dustbin of history.
