Comrades! I bid you cast your gaze upon the horizons of 2026, where a most sinister storm gathers. The climatologists, those men of science, warn us of the 'El Niño' phenomenon—a tempest of nature that threatens to devastate the harvests of coffee and cocoa. But let us not be deceived by mere meteorological jargon! While the heavens may weep in Ecuador and the earth may crack in Africa, the true tragedy lies in how the bloated Capital will seize this occasion to tighten the noose around the neck of the working man.

This El Niño, characterized by the warming of the Pacific waters, disrupts the very breath of our planet, bringing floods and droughts. Yet, while the honest tiller of the soil in the tropics suffers the brunt of these calamities, the financiers in their mahogany offices see only one thing: an opportunity for further exploitation. As reported by 'Finance Mail', the risks are immense, yet the motive of the bourgeoisie remains unchanged—profit at any cost.

Observe the words of Madame Elena Ovsyannikova of the 'E-O chocolate laboratory'. She speaks of a 'widening gap' between the mass and premium segments. What is this 'gap' if not a polite term for the further exclusion of the proletariat from simple pleasures? The merchant houses and retail chains, in their clumsy incompetence, are unprepared for the surge in raw material costs, and who shall pay the price? Not the shareholders, certainly, but the weary laborer!

Look to the New York Commodity Exchange, that den of speculators and usurers! By the end of June, the price of a ton of cocoa beans reached 5,040 dollars—a peak not seen since January. This is the machinery of Monopoly in action. If the yields in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana fall below 1.7–1.8 million tons, these financial vampires speculate that prices shall soar to 6,000 or 7,000 dollars, and should panic seize the markets, they dare dream of 10,000 dollars per ton!

It is a grotesque spectacle. The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) has gone so far as to warn that chocolate may vanish from the markets entirely by the year 2050. We see here the inevitable trajectory of the capitalist mode of production: it consumes the earth, exhausts the laborer, and eventually destroys the very products it sells.

Thus, the working classes are faced with a choice: continue to suffer the whims of the weather and the greed of the banks, or realize that as long as the means of production remain in the hands of the few, the common man shall be denied even a morsel of chocolate!
