the thing about the "neither left, nor right. we are those from the bottom, going for those at the top" is CONTEXT. In the Zapatista context, it takes on an anti-political nature where dispossessed Mexicans, having been disillusioned by illusory social democracy & right-wing governance look for...
anti-politics.

on Tongva territory, a.k.a. LOS ANGELES. an anti-colonial & anti-political prole project for ANARCHY & COMMUNISM, in the mix since '98. website: ineditas.noblogs.org
what's kinda funny is i heard hardcore raw food vegan anarcho-primitivists say this like 25 years ago.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
mutual aid is not a distribution system, it is one of many facts of social life. it will be inefficient & messy but its power is not in speed but in breaking w/capitalist indoctrination that "speed = better." efficiency is a capitalist value that acts as blackmail against communal ways of life.
the thing about 'the marketplace of ideas' is that anti-state communists are anti-market and letting the market decide is how we fucking got here. not all ideas are equivalent.
radicals are treated like the cannon fodder of history by liberals. we push things further & 20 years later the sanitized story is packaged as a way to continue support for this whole system. but we have knowledge, theory & best practices for how to confront fascism. we are ignored, demonized &...
When the Nazis took power in Germany in early 1933, the US was occupying Haiti and had been doing so for more than 17 years, since 1915. In response to the Haitian independence in 1804, the US embargoed the country rather than recognizing it. Stop passing the buck for your own country's imperialism.

When you pass the buck of American imperialism to the German Nazis, you don't just draw attention to how bad the US has become, you exonerate both the Nazis and the historic imperialists/authoritarians of your own country, since the former were inspired by the latter.
Reposting this article cause y'all should know hyper monitoring Black people has been a part of Ohio since the State's creation Ankle monitors on our Haitian neighbors is just the reiteration of Ohio's original Black Laws #SpringfieldOhio #ProtectHaitianImmigrants
My neighbors are being forced to wear ankle monitors, I felt it was a good time to bring up Ohio's Black Laws. This is one of the first pieces I wrote to challenge the myth of Ohio ever being Pro-Black. Monitoring/regulation of Blk folks movement is so very Ohio open.substack.com/pub/sundowno...
scratch a liberal, find a cop. i say this as someone who had a liberal put hands on me when confronting a white man yelling slurs at young Black men in a wild march in 2014. not to be trusted or enabled.
Why am I awake at 3am? I'm processing what I saw today: I saw libs literally form a human shield around a nazi who crashed the anti-Bovino rally. Then I saw a crowd of over-dressed nazis who paid $50 to sit in a muddy tent in a nazi's back yard im Greenfield, IN to see Greg Bovino speak.
from a Fifth Estate mag from 2016, but a quote from 2009. still timely.
seen on Temple St, bt DTLA. i just liked the Mayan warrior dude.
It's up there with "only ethnostates are bad" ALL STATES ARE ETHNOSTATES! Under Trujillo the DR had a policy of "whitening the race". Mexico created a national legend where indigenous people don't exist anymore and we're all "mestizo". Franco's policies on Basque and Catalan were genocidal.
"Does Israel have a right to exist?" is a red herring. States grant themselves the right to exist. It doesn't matter if I think one has the right to exist. I don't grant rights. States grant (and take away) rights. No states should exist, whatever rights they give themselves.

Honestamente lo más chistoso de Polymarket y Kalshi, y en cierta medida también de las criptomonedas y los NFTs, es que evidencian que el sistema financiero tradicional ya sólo es un casino with extra steps.

🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case and is admitting the damage was the result of a flawed, botched installation job, not vandalism.
at work the A/C is out bcuz the copper wire was stolen but the network room is a cool 62°F bcuz it has independent A/C to protect it. it feels like a personal metaphor for the future: A/C for sprawling data centers (bcuz the A.I. must flow), but everyday proles work in dangerous conditions.
CHINGA LA CHOTA! tldr: cops being openly bigoted are protected by privacy laws. even if the law wasnt bigoted (which it is), the fucking cops are.

"the Epstein class" is the updated version of the bad 'class' politics of "we are the 99%." if you have no real class analysis you will fall for that shit every time.
tbh the millenials that spout this kinda shit about zoomers i stay away from bcuz as Steve Ignorant said, "YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD!YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD!"
i think about often how i made a mashup anti-work based of films with anti-work themes and it is gone bcuz of copyright back in 2014, despite being on archive dot org, while A.I. companies are just out here flouting all property rights, destroying rare books, and making a financial bubble out of it.
someone who was much more of influence when i was younger, but then he started having bad, bad takes & associations and i was like... Uhh... i still got Debord.

kitchen work is a special kind of hell but i don't think the answer is automation (como dijo Carlos Marx). the answer is communal kitchens but there is no money in that. but there is money in robots 🤖.

THE COYOTES WERE HERE BEFORE ALL SETTLERS. LET THEM COOK.
