  • The NFL stuff is based on a note NYPD """found""" on his body, just like they """found""" a statement of intent on luigi and """find""" an unregistered fire arm on the body of every black man they kill in Harlem.

    I'm calling it now, this was a sane man setting out to kill the CEO of Blackstone for what theyre doing to nursing homes and the housing market. The NFL stuff is NYPD and the media trying to prevent this from getting away from the like it did with Luigi.

    Let's not forget that Blackrock is a plurality owner of United Health"""care"""! edit: this is Blackstone which is different. Also not to be confused with Blackwater the PMC.

  • You're confusing Justice and vengeance. Vengeance at this point is inevitable, Justice is an open question.

    Justice is one state with universal suffrage and protections for ethnic minorities and a right of return.

    Executing heads of state is vengeance.

    You can want both, I won't stop you but lets not mix them up.

  • I'm a little disappointed by the definition of imperialism as "exploitation of nation by nation." Because of the way that it takes the nation as a given and doesnt look at the nation itself as being an imperial imposition (and of course, later a tool for anti colonial organizing. Fanon writes beautifully on the ambi-valence of nationalism in the colonized world and would be a great addendum of this book.)

    I think because of this limitation Rodney puts forward a partial understanding of imperialism that is useful as a primer but ultimately fails as a theory in that its too simplistic to be rigorous

  • The really insidious part here is thay the authors see the means testing as an important component. You have to be clean from drugs, not psychotic, etc. To donate, so it creates pressure to abstain from drugs, risky sex, etc. Because it could jeapordize your income stream.

    They are making an explicit argument for putting moral requirements on access to welfare.

  • Yes

  • Typesetters traveling job to job with their tools were incredibly important to the spread of radical ideas, between jobs they would produce radical pamphlets and newspapers.

    So literally, yes, seize the photocopiers

  • Hey, so I want to clarify something about organizing at Kroger / Albertsons. Yes, the union buerocracy ended the strike, but the union buerocracy also organized the strike.

    There aren't organic member organizing committees as these stores deciding they need to strike and then getting sold out by buerocrats, instead, the buerocracy decided a strike was in order and deployed a small army of staff to convince the workers of this fact.

    Like, the state of worker to worker engagement is so bleak that even the UFCW "reform" movement is being astroturfed by a couple locals with members getting recruited and flown out to convention by staff.

    There is a bigger story of betrayal, but its not the one this paper tells. Washington, California, Colorado, and Hawaii locals have been working on coordinating their contracts to increase their bargaining power (at current, each local and sometimes even each store bargains its own contract). Despite this agreement, the Washington local accepted a tentative agreement while Colorado was still out on strike! CO has no leverage without the threat of the strike expanding to WA!
