“The emancipation of the working class will only be achieved by the working class itself.”

Many workers are not familiar with the man who is being posthumously praised as a hero and martyr by the Trump administration and the right.
Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, was funded and endorsed by millionaires and billionaires, among them the DeVos family and the wealthy owners of private equity, healthcare giants, Home Depot, and others.
He was very much a proponent of capitalism and its predominant definitions of nation, race, and gender, and endorsed the principles of The Great Replacement Theory. These principles call for the removal of non-whites and Muslims from the U.S. They put forth the view that the U.S. as a country should be reserved for whites of European descent.
Also central to its program is the view that women must work under men’s instruction to fulfill the role of wife and mother and housekeeper central to the raising and nurturing of future generations who will accept their exploitation or become rulers.
Kirk spoke for the millionaire and billionaire class, to those predominantly situated to become bosses or to enforce society’s inequalities.
His ideology is one that locks society into the continuation of capitalism, a system that has long outgrown its usefulness for the world population and is in rapid decline toward barbarism.
But capitalism has raised the means of production to a level high enough to support the world’s population. What is needed is a revolutionary transformation to bring the working masses of the world up to their rightful place, creating and administering a new society. One where all are supported according to need while contributing according to ability. Finally, a classless society.
