Happy Armistice Day. Humanity still can overcome war; we must realize that a bayonet is a weapon with a worker (cat) at each end.
“You need at this time especially to know that you are fit for something better than slavery and cannon fodder” (E. Debs, 1918). Some Great (Imperialist) War artworks from the last few years on this Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans Day.

“I thought Slazinger had said some things which were worth considering, but that, on the whole, he had made the country sound a lot worse than it really was, and that ours was still far and away the best one on the planet.

What do I myself make of that reply nowadays? It was an inane reply.” (4/4)

“. . .He talked about bridges falling down and water mains breaking because of no maintenance. He talked about oil spills and radioactive waste and poisoned aquifers and looted banks and liquidated corporations. ‘And nobody ever gets punished for anything,’ he said. . .” (2/4)

“He predicted, I remember, that human slavery would come back, that it had in fact never gone away. He said that so many people wanted to come here because it was so easy to rob the poor people, who got absolutely no protection from the Government. . .” (1/4)

Deeply moved by Tadgh Hickey's last vid before his abduction by Israeli forces. The abuse, tactics of psychological and total war, employed against the activists of the flotilla are terrifying. Their bravery and willingness to face torture for what's right is truly noble youtube.com/shorts/OmBJ8...

Thinking about degrowth and a Jobs Guarantee, and what steps to address climate change, meet human need, and build economic and social democracy, I so appreciate @jasonhickel.bsky.social 's communication and thinking around this. Here are snippets of an Instagram post.

Recently learned a bit about Russian Prince Peter Kropotkin and evolutionary biology from the lovely podcast Cool People who Did Cool Stuff and @margaret.bsky.social

That and Ricardo Levins Morales' "Tending the Soil" lessons for organizing zine are giving me life and helping me clarify wisdom

I really dislike the Twitter- style format but goddamn do we need a digital commons for discourse and connection. I hope the Fediverse, or other open source projects, can become that.

Where can I get the functionality of fb or Instagram in common, not enclosed and extractive

(3/3) housing and land must be restored to common ownership for common good. Commodification of our most fundamental needs has been a disaster for people and planet

(2/) replacing them entirely by expropriating through their tenants and strikes and occupations the buildings we built? I did not build apartment buildings to make some elite asshole rich. I built them to house my neighbors who are still living in tents getting beaten by the police."

From a comrade: When workers go on strike, capitalists threaten to replace us.

When capitalists go on strike (by refusing to invest in housing in response to housing regulations), why not threaten to replace them (by building mass, high quality public housing)? Or even better yet, (1/)
