The Gin Shop- cautionary cartoon by George Cruikshank (1829)

Gin Alley vs Beer Street-William Hogarth

This print was published as a pair with Gin Lane and contrasted the health and productivity benefits of drinking beer with the vice of gin drinking. At the time the prints were made gin was drunk in great quantities in England, and the Gin Act of 1751 reduced the number of gin shops and greatly increased the tax on importing gin amongst other measures to curtail consumption. The verses beneath the images on both prints were written by Hogarth's friend, the Rev. James Townley. The original copperplates are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Sigh. I think reading Laclau & Mouffe has forever changed how I read those who write about socialism. I just can't really get behind anyone who privileges the class antagonism as _the_ antagonism considering how fragmented things have gotten in the last 20 years. The fragmentation that has taken place isn't because everybody started realizing intersectionality w/ gender/race/sexuality was important - it's because capitalists did a really good job of using globalization as a disciplinary measure against the most highly unionized sectors of the North American economy. The problem is that self-identified socialists have spent the last 20 years thinking that it was the left's fault that the fragmentation took place (and yeah, of course the left is responsible in part for its situation, but not nearly to the extent that many suggest). Somehow there is this idea that the anarcho syndicalists, feminists, queer movement or whatever turned the traditional left into obsessives over identity politics or romantic revolutionaries screaming about Buy Nothing Day that is To Blame for The Destruction of the efficacy of the Radical Left.

That's stupid! Identity politics are A Thing and maybe Over Emphasized in the centre left, but that's how the centre left has always been. Radicals and trade unionists and whatnot lost their power because shit changed due to massive structural assaults on the working class and those places where political blocs had gained footholds. Intersectionality is a good thing and can always provide a place for the radical left to show its commitment to pushing beyond capital in addition to liberation from a repressive patriarchal racist bullshit society.

You know what's great?

This drink I made.

It's Gin, tonic, lime juice, and watermelon juice-- it's very delicious.

It's also huge, I made 32 oz. because I had a couple of small Gin bottles.
