the human body is itself a politically inscribed entity, its physiology and morphology shaped by histories and practices of containment and control.

Don’t trust politicians, bureaucrats, or bosses. Only trust our collective rage against power

Greece is such a great example of why we shouldn’t rely on political parties to liberate the marginalized, oppressed, and exploited.

Bernie Sanders would and has betrayed the people. Podemos and SNP have fallen into the same trap. Even the most radical political party would still betray us.

Electoral politics is a fool’s game and the framework of it will turn any radical parties into liberals at best and reactionaries at worst. Political forces hijacked within the electoral framework will prioritize the continuation of parties and become disconnected from any movements of resistance and liberation.

We shouldn’t pour our energy into political parties because they’ll fuck us over inevitably. Instead, we should organize non-hierarchical forms of resistance, not based in organizations, but the collective will of the margins themselves.

The collective force of our rage and desire for liberation, in constant insurrection pushing towards revolution, resisting any organization that attempts to deescalate political struggle, that is what will bring us the true freedom that has been denied us for millennia.

What scares me about this “she hung herself in jail” thing is… They specifically take away your shoelaces, belt, anything that can be used as a device for which you can hang yourself if you’re getting booked into a jail. I’ve learned this from many people I’ve known who’ve been arrested and put in jail. Idk if this is just inside of a holding cell where these women were said to have done it, and I’m not sure of the protocol there, but I’m certain there are precautionary measures that should be taken to closely monitor the people in each cell. So what the fuck is going on?

The deepest psychological needs of the human being will never be realized through the possession of external goods, as is sought in the culture of private property, but only by means of an integral and complete development of human autonomous activity, a limitless development of all human powers and abilities. Without spiritual fullness, without true happiness, material freedom is empty and material life ephemeral. Real spiritual freedom begins with the negation of authoritarianism based on possession and exclusionary and miserly egoism; it is seeing one’s own freedom realized through the freedom of others.

Today marks the 144th anniversary of the start of the Paris Commune. The great worker-lead 72 day insurrection transformed Parisian society into an autonomous commune according to the principles of cooperation and association. Although its existence was short, ultimately succumbing to the brutal suppression at the hands of the French government after a week-long battle in the streets of Paris, the effects of the Paris Commune rippled across the globe. The Commune profoundly influenced some of the greatest social and political thinkers of the 19th century, particularly Marx, Kropotkin and William Morris, and remains a pivotal influence for contemporary struggles.

“real men dont rape” actually, real men do rape. they do. men rape. it isn’t done by ~fake mythical special brand of evil~ men, it’s done by real men, men who may seem nice, men who you think you can trust, men you know, men who you’re close to. real men do rape. that’s the problem

The repeated discourse on shoplifting just shows how much society hates poor people, labeling our methods of survival as “immoral”, when no matter what we do under a capitalist society, there’ll still be structural violence against the workers and poor people, whether they shoplift or not. Valorize resistance against the system, don’t shame it.

badgersandbees

What part of “workers get actively punished when people shoplift” do you not understand?

Like how many personal experiences with this -from other, working poor people!!!!- are you going to continue to ignore?

scabphobic-deactivated20170206

Ahhh, yes, blame poor people trying to survive and not the violent capitalist machine that is hurting us.

Bosses use shoplifting as an excuse. Even if no one shoplifted, they’d still continue to hurt workers because capitalism is a fundamentally violent system and it’ll hurt poor people and workers regardless of what we do.

Structural violence must not be ignored. NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR!
