Capitalism cannot maintain the necessary conditions for its existence without a state
"But, the transformation — either into joint-stock companies and trusts, or into State-ownership — does not do away with the capitalistic nature of the productive forces. In the joint-stock companies and trusts, this is obvious. And the modern State, again, is only the organization that bourgeois society takes on in order to support the external conditions of the capitalist mode of production against the encroachments as well of the workers as of individual capitalists. The modern state, no matter what its form, is essentially a capitalist machine — the state of the capitalists, the ideal personification of the total national capital. The more it proceeds to the taking over of productive forces, the more does it actually become the national capitalist, the more citizens does it exploit. The workers remain wage-workers — proletarians. The capitalist relation is not done away with. It is, rather, brought to a head. But, brought to a head, it topples over. State-ownership of the productive forces is not the solution of the conflict, but concealed within it are the technical conditions that form the elements of that solution."
- Friedrich Engels, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific

This is why you need a class based understanding of the economy rather than a nationalistic one. A bourgois economy is not "our economy", it's an economy by and for capitalists.

Judith Butler: What is a woman?
Ideas about womanhood have changed across time and cultures. Feminism has always been about challenging normative ideas of what a woman is; it intentionally keeps the question "What is a woman?" open as part of a struggle against those who seek to naturalize and enforce specific gender relations, categories and norms.

This is why you should look beyond individual identity and consider class, history and material conditions

National liberation and class struggle are connected
"National liberation has nothing to do with marxism or class struggle!"

"The Irish question is therefore not simply a question of nationality, but a question of land and existence. Ruin or revolution is the watchword; all the Irish are convinced that if anything is to happen at all it must happen quickly. The English should demand separation and leave it to the Irish themselves to decide the question of landownership. Everything else would be useless. If that does not happen soon the Irish emigration will lead to a war with America. The domination over Ireland at present amounts to collecting rent for the English aristocracy."

Sanctions make "free and fair elections" impossible by design, and that is precisely why imperial powers weaponize them.

Many such cases unfortunately
Nazis, liberals, reformists, conservatives etc. when you tell them the primary cause of our economy's ills isn't the character of the individuals in power, but the character of the capitalist mode of production and its conflict between capital and wage-laborer:

Marini posting
"the intensification of work, the extension of the working day, and the expropriation of part of the labor necessary for the worker to replenish his labor power [...] in the three mechanisms considered, the essential feature is that the worker is denied the conditions necessary to replenish his labor power that has been worn away:
[...] 
In capitalist terms, these mechanisms (which, moreover, can and usually do occur in combination) mean that labor [power] is remunerated below its value, and thus amount to a super-exploitation of labor."

A common misunderstanding of historical materialism is the idea that it assumes a linear, universal concept of history that presumes societies will always develop the same way everywhere
"Thus events strikingly analogous but taking place in different historic surroundings led to totally different results. By studying each of these forms of evolution separately and then comparing them one can easily find the clue to this phenomenon, but one will never arrive there by the universal passport of a general historico-philosophical theory, the supreme virtue of which consists in being super-historical."

Queer struggles and anti-colonial/anti-imperial struggles are interconnected. The gender binary and heteronormativity are not neutral or universal facts of nature, but rather established themselves through social, physical and political violence within broader colonial and imperial processes.

And this causes children to be perceived as failures (either by themselves, their parents and/or society at large) when they are not successful according to the logic of capital. It's one of many ways capitalism has commodified our relationships

The idea that the EU is somehow a "nice" form of western hegemony compared to the imperialist US is one that is very popular among european liberals. But reality shows that it is just as imperialist and exploitative in its nature as the US is.

Why CEOs say they want unemployment
The "Industrial Reserve Army" (The unemployed / potential workers) is necessary for capitalists to keep wages low by threatening workers with unemployment, which gives capitalists the ability to replace them with desparate people who are willing to accept low pay and bad working conditions to escape unemployment.

The idea that national identity is something genetic (which is an idea that liberals and conservatives alike adhere to) is a continuation of race science. It might look harmless on the surface, but it effectively naturalizes nation-states and turns their borders into biological essences

Social Murder explained
Social murder refers to the way social and economic systems (such as capitalism) can cause people to die early deaths due to the way they exploit people, degrade people's living conditions and deprive people of access to basic necessities like healthcare, healthy food, housing etc.

In class society, masculinity basically functions as one massive coping mechanism. It allows men who live alienated and insignificant lives that are in alignment with capitalism and the state to still feel powerful by enabling them to see themselves as more capable than women and (some) other men.
