so, there's a migrant caravan coming, and the discourse is whether to allow or deny entry. this is an entirely absurd discourse, that reduces to the question of whether they're useful to local capital or not - if they are useful let them stay, and if they are not, send them back.

how about we be socialists, instead?

why don't we train these people with what they need - which is a combination of educational and military training - and send them back to fix the problems that exist in their own countries? for, we surely recognize that the problems will not fix themselves, and that this is an army of the proletariat - of great revolutionary potential.

and, why don't we fight here in the north to undo the policies that have created the push factors, in the first place? by passing laws in new york, and supporting political movements in washington, we can remove our support for the bodies that are behaving oppressively, and pushing people out of the country.

instead, we debate about whether the labour is useful or not - because we are wholly, thoroughly capitalistic in nature. and, it will be our undoing in the end, one way or another - whether we are taken down from the inside or the outside.
