Silver is the peopleβs metal and always has been.
I believe the facts below contain sufficient evidence to demonstrate that:
- r/wallstreetbets was active with pro-silver posts before GME even started
- Once GME began, anti-silver posts go from NEVER to 10x pro-silver posts
- There is objective evidence to settle this once and for all
Silver is the Achilles heel of the global monetary system and that's why they are working so hard on anti-silver propaganda. Hedge funds are small fry. None of this is new stuff.
Look at the facts and think for yourself.
Spread the word, help get this posted on WSB, tweet, all the stuff.

Comrades,
For over a year now, farmers across the nation have been protesting against the capitalist farm laws, introduced by the Modi government in the midst of pandemic last year. We have braved police batons and water cannons, frigid winter and scorching summer, disease and death. Hundreds of farmers have lost their lives, giving their supreme sacrifice in the fight against the fascist government. We have faced persecution and propaganda. We fought this together, the labor unions, the civil society, the socialist/communist organizations and many brave men and women.
I have led the movement in Bihar, where we faced assault and persecution [1]. I have seen the impact of repeal of APMC in Bihar, where farmers earn the lowest income in the country, where the traders buy grains from the farmers at cheap rates and sell it in mandis, where small farmers are compelled to work as labourers in other states [2].
So when some opportunists looking for cheap publicity, accuse the movement to be kulak protest, it's not just disheartening, it's a betrayal of our sacrifice. Keep this in mind, that the movement is led by prominent communist farm unions, including Kisan Sabha (Ajoy Bhawan and Canning Road), Kisan Mahasabha, Kisan Khet Mazdoor Sangathan and others. Communist leaders, Ashok Dhawale, Hannan Mollah, Raja Ram Singh, Comrade Satyawan, have been at the forefront of the movement, not just today, but for years.
It's not worth arguing against every propagandists, but seeing that such posts have been shared and up-voted several times, it is important to expose some arguments.
Has MSP Only Benefited Rich Farmers*
This argument made by the ruling party and its propaganda media, has now been co-opted by some self-proclaimed leftists. However, it is completely devoid of facts. These people have cited the Shanta Kumar report, which said that only 6% farmers have directly received MSP on wheat and unmilled paddy, as a vindication of their argument. There are however two points that they have cleverly concealed. First, the total number of farmers who have benefited from MSP on any crop is between 15% to 25% [3]. Second, this figure does not say that those who have received MSP are only rich farmers. In fact, as per a report published in The Hindu, the beneficiaries are overwhelmingly small and medium farmers [4].
MSP Is Too High, Or Farmers Are Paid Excessively For Their Crops
The MSP is calculated by CACP based on a predetermined formula, and is fixed at

Ok, so many anarchists seem to forget the influence propaganda has on so many people, because for us, many if not all of the points that make up anarchist philosophy seem obvious. It is obvious that trickle-down capitalism does not work, it is obvious that ethnic, sexuality and gender minorities among others are unfairly persecuted around the world, it is obvious to us that political parties like the Democrats are useless. The thing is though, if you've only been exposed to the regular amount of news that most people see, you would only see things like Obama being a hero of civil rights, things like the fringe minority in our movement being scumbags, things like the 'wonders' of modern neoliberal capitalism. Ignorance is not a sin, but it seems that too many anarchists forget that. Most liberals aren't inherently bad people, hell a lot of neoconservatives aren't as much as that makes me feel gross to say. You can't just expect people to do their own independent research into the failings of these systems, they may be unable to due to poor education maybe, or have a hectic life and can't stand to embrace the negative aspects of the world because it would make them more depressed. Too many anarchists however, just lump all of these people together as being bad humans, the type that are fully educated on how bad things are and revel in it. If a liberal walks past a homeless person and thinks "that's just the way things have to be", that doesn't mean that they think that it's ok for that person to suffer because the alternatives are either too hard or might put them out, but because they may just believe that it really is the way things have to be, and that there's no reasonable alternative. As anarchists our role shouldn't be to just dismiss those affected by propaganda as evil, but instead to educate and help people realize that there is an alternative.
