When leftists say “the government is an instrument of class rule,” they don’t just mean politicians are corrupt or billionaires buy influence — they mean the whole system is built to protect the class structure that already exists. Under capitalism, workers want higher wages, safer jobs, affordable housing, and more control over their lives. Bosses, landlords, and corporations want higher profits, higher rents, lower labor costs, and fewer restrictions. So when those interests clash… who does the state usually protect? This video breaks down what “class rule” actually means, why the government acts like a neutral referee while defending the rules of capitalism, and how police, courts, laws, prisons, bureaucracy, and political institutions help preserve the power of the owning class. The state may be the referee — but the game was designed by the people who own the field. #ClassConsciousness #LeftistTikTok #Socialism #Marxism #AntiCapitalism #Capitalism #WorkingClass #ClassWar #ClassStruggle #PoliticalEducation #LeftistPolitics #SocialistTok #EconomicJustice #LaborRights #WorkersRights #TheoryTok #TheState #Government #PowerStructure #SystemicInequality #CapitalistSystem #PoliticalTheory #VideoEssay #LearnOnTikTok Tue, 12 May 2026 07:08:25 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/a141b406-6b2a-40c2-8794-cd66227bea89 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
