Antonie Pannekoek, born on this day in 1873, was a Dutch astronomer, philosopher, Marxist theorist, and socialist revolutionary.

A respected Marxist theorist, Pannekoek was one of the founders of council communism and a main figure in the radical left in the Netherlands and Germany, active in the Communist Party of the Netherlands, the Communist Workers’ Party of the Netherlands and the Communist Workers’ Party of Germany.

Pannekoek is perhaps best known for his writing on workers’ councils. He regarded these as a new form of organization capable of overcoming the limitations of the old institutions of the labor movement, the trade unions and social democratic parties.

He was a sharp critic of anarchism, social democracy, and Leninism. During the early years of the Russian revolution, Pannekoek gave critical support to the Bolsheviks.

Unlike some other progressive thinkers of his time, Pannekoek was also highly critical of social darwinism, derisively calling it “bourgeois darwinism”.

I honestly didn’t think we would arrive at a point where the Feds literally said “You’re on your own, die for all we care” and the CDC was saying “You can work in hospitals and nursing homes if you’re infected but only if no one can visibly see that you’re infected”

Like… I did not expect that. It’s really, really dark.

Why do all these flyover state dipshits think their personal lives haven’t improved? Things are better than they have in years. Instead of paying attention and getting bogged down with details of their own day to day distractions, they ought to check out financial reporting in WaPo or the Times. They might be surprised to learn things aren’t as bad as their experiences make it seem.
