New Revolutionaries

I think it is interesting that this year everyone is hyped up and the epithet "socialist" is being lobbed in every direction. Wall St is "getting used to this new territory" (ie-accepting tax payer bailouts); the government in taking on a new role (ie-corporate money lender).

Bullshit-on both counts. The corporations have been taking our tax dollars for a century. They took over when the feudal regimes of the pre-Industrial age disappeared. These corporations have only grown so large as they are through robbing the tax payers. We have always subsidized them, to aid them in building in our commuinities; to pay for their research and development; to keep them afloat at every crisis they have had over the decades. These auto makers and banks and insurance companies and chemical companies-if they had been denied our tax money years ago-they would have been regulated by the "market" and consigned to history. Now, they are "too big to fail".

The government has been handing them our dollars-nothing new in their position now. The only difference is that they are handing out trillions of dollars, in hysterical fits, against the loud and sustained protest of We the People. The only difference between this Welfare for the Rich now and Welfare for the Rich five years ago-they are flat out demanding that we nationalize our markets-and make outright slaves of the People. They are not making their sweet deals in secret, they are flying in to DC to demand our dollars to keep them in the class to which they are accustomed.

Well-this is fucked. Short and simple. These morons are eating themselves alive. There is precious little time for this crap. I can feel changes in my bones; I know that we are all kept apart and ill informed through our very capable Politburos-but We the People have maintained a great and constant level of organization. When capitalism is finally infected to the marrow-all this organization will be our saving grace. Who knows what the revolution will look like-but Worker control will be a common theme throughout. Right now, across the globe, the People are slowly taking over, and taking back their jobs, their homes and their destinies. Without need of ideology, through the necessity of common sense, the Workers are coming together and forging a new society.

There is no blueprint-but there is always common sense-something we Workers have a-plenty.

My beloved Fellow Workers

Over the last weeks, as we slowly sink into the hole-I have been renewed. Last week, by a band of Wobblies from Reno who traveled down here to San Francisco to protest the War of Terror. Then by my Fellow Workers in France, who are placing their CEO's under worker arrest. Then by my Fellow Workers in the UK-where they are tearing shit up.

As the stories trickle across the ocean...some making their way through our propoganda filter-a marvelously universal principle is becoming apparent. We are rejecting this system as a whole. The once proud Middle-Classes have woken up in a world where their children are starving, where there is not enough heat to get through the winter and where for the first time, they cannot be certain that their offspring will have anything of life, let alone something better.

The general reaction here in the US to these changes is hard go gauge. Many in the "liberal" fold of course fulminate against radical action. "What are these punks accomplishing?" they ask. "Tearing banks apart is useless. These anti-capitalists are wearing capitalist clothing. How dare they be so hypocritical." I got two words for this train of thought-BULL SHIT. We are accomplishing plenty-we making the message perfectly clear-this system is useless, it is accomplishing nothing but the enslavement of the People-and the People are through with enslavement. This "left intelligentsia" that sits on its hands in judgment of those driven to action are nothing more than aiders and abetters to the enemy. In the same way that We who have spoken and acted against war and thievery, we were the enemy. We were accomplices to the terrorist plot. What then do you call apathetic hand wringers who simply bow to the whims and desires of the World Bank?

I hope every bank is torn down-much the same way we Americans did in the days before the Revolutionary War-when we were fighting the Central Bank of England. Now, two centuries later, we are beholden to all manner of central banking. The degree of extent tyranny today is far greater than that wielded by King George III. It will take a greatly augmented degree of action to drive it back-and to do away with it.
