Kill the colonial myths

Fill your children’s heads with tales of loving revolutions, not propaganda tales about the nobility of kings and queens or their adventures. Dressing up as a totalitarian parasite from the medieval era, while a real one claims to sit on a ‘throne’ in Britian as we speak — still lording over the global south asContinue reading “Kill the colonial myths”

Will Cosmos-482 do what Whitlam couldn’t?

As the Cosmos-482 station is about to re-enter earth’s atmosphere and burn up over Australia, I thought it might be a good opportunity to wish that piece of space junk well in a fight that even Australia, the nation, once lost. Some have said that this junk may come down dangerously close to the MurchisonContinue reading “Will Cosmos-482 do what Whitlam couldn’t?”

Who are America’s NeoNazis, anyway? Where are they from?

At the end of World War 2, 1000s of Adolph Hitler’s savage Nazis were given new, secret identities and allowed to blend into various allied countries because they were considered too valuable to lose and that many would make good anti-communist spies.

What can be said? GENERAL ACTION is where we are

Its been a while. Since I last updated this blog, WordPress has changed so much I barely recognize it, and my motivation for writing long-form basically evaporated at the start of this ongoing pandemic, the genocide, the wars, the…. destruction of public institutions, looting of the federal government and economy, the actual fascist coup thatContinue reading “What can be said?

What’s happened to socks? Textiles, in general? A personal anecdote on designed obsolescence, disposability

If you’ve been alive a few decades, and you’ve done any amount of walking, running, or working in an office, you will have undoubtedly purchased many pair of socks and shoes by now, on top of T-shirts or undershirts, pants, dress shirts, skirts, etc. Many are basically disposable objects, are they not? Socks generally wearContinue reading “What’s happened to socks? Textiles, in general? A personal anecdote on designed obsolescence, disposability”

The United Nations voted overwhelmingly – for the 29th consecutive year – to remove sanctions against Cuba. Who stopped them?

That would be the United States and Israel, 2 small, rich states who have or are currently slaughtering indigenous populations, who somehow have power over the 184 countries and their billions-strong populations who voted to END the sanctions and embargo against Cuba. One hundred eighty four countries… voted to end sanctions. What is the purposeContinue reading “The United Nations voted overwhelmingly – for the 29th consecutive year – to remove sanctions against Cuba. Who stopped them?”

Communists, trying to end classism, designed inequality and false scarcity, environmental catastrophe, and wars for profit, need everyone to participate. Capitalists?

Capitalists: “No socialism, ever! Over my dead body!” >Millions die over 100 years because of unnecessary wars & intentional destabilization of entire nations, sanctions, embargoes, ecosystem destruction & poisoning by industry, classism and inequality leading to both malnutrition and obesity depending on where you look. >Loss of local jobs and major unemployment, giant unhoused populationsContinue reading “Communists, trying to end classism, designed inequality and false scarcity, environmental catastrophe, and wars for profit, need everyone to participate. Capitalists?”
