Disobey

'Maria del Carmen Abascal, the 87-year-old woman whose eviction from her Madrid home sparked a government crisis in Spain, has died, the Madrid Tenants’ Union announced on Tuesday. Known in Spain simply as Maricarmen, she died just weeks after hundreds of people turned up to her door trying to prevent her from being evicted from the home where she lived for more than 70 years. She was forcibly removed on a stretcher after the private investment company, which owns the building in Madrid’s upmarket Retiro district, hiked her rent from €500 ($560) to €2,650 ($2,970) – an amount that was unaffordable for the pensioner. “We regret to announce that Maricarmen has passed away today. As you all know, she was evicted on September 23, and has remained in hospital ever since,” the union said Wednesday.' https://edition.cnn.com/2026/10/07/europe/maricarmen-spain-eviction-crisis-dies-intl-latam

The 'middle class' is a very convenient category for the ruling class to manipulate the populace. The majority are shoved into this category – are made to shove themselves into it, even. The way it's used colloquially, 'middle class' is such a broad category that it's practically meaningless. Why, even many rich people pretend to be "middle class" (e.g., India's richest man still thinks he is middle class at heart). And what's worse, a majority of utterly poor people also identify themselves as "middle class" – well, after all, who would want to go out and say "I'm poor/broke". As a result, almost everybody is "middle class" nowadays, to the point that almost nobody is actually middle class. The popular category of "middle class" is not merely misleading, but also harmful... it hinders class consciousness and solidarity among the working class, it masks the stark class conflict that always exists between the working class and the capitalists. What needs to be done, then? The pointless and overly abused category of middle class needs to be discredited and "working class" needs to be popularized, people should be encouraged to identify with it. If you're asked which economic class you belong to, you can say "working class"; or, if someone implies you belong to the middle class, you can politely correct them and say that you're actually from the "working class". Under the current system, instead of dividing a population into "rich", "middle class" & "poor", it's better to broadly classify them into two classes: the "capitalists" and the "working class", the latter making up the majority of the global population (also true for virtually any nation-state now). Most of us would say, without any hesitation, "I'm a working person" – then, we should also be able to say, without any hesitation, "I belong to the working class", rather than "I belong to the middle class".

"The 'middle-class' is a faux class. It never really existed. If you have a boss, and earn wages or salary, you are a worker, and should be proud to be in the working class. The term 'middle class' isolates more privileged workers for the benefit of the powerful so that anyone outside of elite circles will be divided and fighting against each other instead of fighting institutions and the power structure."

"The expansion of capitalism, both geographically and the expansion in the productive forces, is THE SAME process as colonization and the building of modern States. Those 3 processes can't be understood without putting them together. A black person had to be kidnapped in West Africa to grow cotton in America for the machines to be fed. A white person had to be forced into the workforce by anti-vagrancy laws or land relocation in Europe to man the machines. A police and a navy had to be formed (that is, the powers of State had to be expanded) in order to make those two persons comply." — @argumento image: slave-owning european settlers establish the usa on occupied turtle island

But, you will say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social. And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention, direct or indirect, of society by means of schools, etc.? The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class. The bourgeois claptrap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parent and child become all the more disgusting, as, by the action of modern industry, all family ties among the proletarians are torn asunder, and their children transformed into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labor.

"... the State's criminality is nothing new and nothing to be wondered at. It began when the first predatory group of men clustered together and formed the State, and it will continue as long as the State exists in the world, because the State is fundamentally an anti-social institution, fundamentally criminal. The idea that the State originated to serve any kind of social purpose is completely unhistorical. It originated in conquest and confiscation—that is to say, in crime. It originated for the purpose of maintaining the division of society into an owning-and-exploiting class and a propertyless dependent class — that is, for a criminal purpose. No State known to history originated in any other manner, or for any other purpose. Like all predatory or parasitic institutions, its first instinct is that of self-preservation. All its enterprises are directed first towards preserving its own life, and, second, towards increasing its own power and enlarging the scope of its own activity. For the sake of this it will, and regularly does, commit any crime which circumstances make expedient." — Albert Nock, The Criminality of the State (1939)
