There's nothing incompatible with socialism about my treat-slaves giving themselves chronic pain making me food in a hot environment, getting screamed at by an alcoholic landlord and developing chemical dependencies without healthcare.

You want the DIY scene. It's adjacent to Hardcore, but also has black metal, country, pop punk, ska and folk punk, and has much better politics.

Volkswagon is the first of many organizing victories that will come in the wake of the UAW strike. Militancy builds support!

If you take someone with conservative values and you give them a quality education, they become a moderate. If you take someone with progressive values and give them an education they become ~~a socialist~~ very liberal. If you give someone with moderate values an education, they become an MBA. Education selects against conservatives because conservative politics come from ignorance and magical thinking.

Honestly, I think that the ability to "not present" is a cis male experience. How would you feel if there was intense pressure on you to wear makeup and clothes that look good all the time. If every time you put on your hoody, people asked you if you were sick.

On this day, 9 December 1842, revolutionary, scientist, and philosopher Peter Kropotkin was born in Russia. He later abandoned his aristocratic background in favour of the working class struggle. He participated in the 1917 Russian revolution, and wrote numerous influential works, including Mutual Aid: a Factor of Evolution. In this work he criticised interpretations of the ideas of Charles Darwin which focused on competition, and highlighted instances of cooperation in the natural world. "If we ... ask Nature: 'who are the fittest: those who are continually at war with each other, or those who support one another?' we at once see that those animals which acquire habits of mutual aid are undoubtedly the fittest. They have more chances to survive, and they attain, in their respective classes, the highest development of intelligence and bodily organisation."

This takes a look at the history of labor militancy on scales smaller than strikes, and advocates for guerilla labor actions as a solid foundation for larger actions like strike.

It's a really good look at practical examples from history of how to make gains at work even when you are between contracts or maybe even don't have a union.

I want a phone where I can't go on the internet or read the news, just communicate with people I actually know in real life. Is there any way I can make this happen?

This is what deep organizing looks like: moving people across three language communities to take militant action on issues that directly affect them.

But they're poisonous! You say. And that's true, you absolutely should not eat raw amanitas. But you know what other mushrooms you shouldn't eat raw? All of them! Chitin is indigestible!

"Well, sure, but a raw porcini won't kill me!" That's true, but you know what will? A Morel! (If you're small). At the very least they'll make you as sick as an amanita. And you know what people do with Morels? They eat them! They're a prize edible!

"Okay, but people eat morrells but they don't eat Amanitas" okay. Well, take off your fucking anglocentrism glasses because they've been eating amanitas in India and Japan since before your country even existed.

So listen up, slice and boil your amanitas in gallons of water, and I mean gallons. Strain and rinse. Boil, strain and rinse again. Guess what you've got? A soft, buttery, delicious mushroom. Pour some garlic butter on it, or do it authentic and put it into miso soup as a nice earthy addition.

It's an edible. Change my mind.

If you're thinking in tickets and arrests, you're not really thinking about justice.

Former democratic party activists are organizing Muslims and Arab-Americans in Swing states to vote against Biden with the demand that he support a ceasefire in Gaza.

I'll allow them a little bit of electoralism this time.
