“Hurry up, comrade, shoot at once on the policeman, the judge, the wealthy, before a new police will hinder you. Hurry up and say no, before a new repression convinces you that to say no is nonsensical and crazy and that you should accept the hospitality of an asylum. Hurry up and attack the capital, before a new ideology makes it sacred for you. Hurry up and refuse work, before a new sophist tells you: Work makes you free. Hurry up and play. Hurry up and arm yourself.”

Rick Santorum Declares War On Heavy Metal

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:33:18 -0600

liberationorstarvation:

“For the past week, Santorum has been using his campaign to take aim at an issue he feels to be the single most dangerous force in America today: Satanism in heavy metal. “If you listen to the radio today, many of these brand new, so-called heavy metal music bands like Black Sabbath, Venom, The WASP and Iron Maiden use satanic imagery to corrupt the minds of young people,” announced Santorum at a 10,000 dollar a plate sock-hop in Valdosta, Georgia on Thursday.”

“Santorum’s popularity in the polls has grown substantially since he began speaking out against metal and its assault on traditional values.”

LOLOL I can’t even handle this

Santorum would be a sweet metal band name.

Rock throwers set trap to hospitalize cop — Livermore, CA

Several people set up a roadblock on a Livermore street and pelted a police officer with chunks of concrete early today when he stopped to clear it, sending him to the hospital, police said.

The officer, whose name has not been released, stopped his cruiser just before 2:30 a.m. when he found cement blocks in the northbound lanes of North P Street under a railroad overcrossing, police said.

Within moments of climbing out of his car, the officer was pelted with 8-by-14-inch chunks of concrete and 3-inch rocks by three or four people who were waiting on the overpass, said Officer Steve Goard, a police spokesman.

“It wasn’t like they were just dropping them,” Goard said. “They were throwing them at the officer. He was in full uniform, his lights were on.”

The officer suffered a moderate head injury, Goard said. He was treated at Valley Care Hospital and released.

“The officers who arrived said he was pretty out of it when they got there,” Goard said.

The rock throwers fled before other officers arrived. No arrests have been made.

Everyone on revolution watch in Russia—

-20 degrees and unbreakable. This is only a miniscule [but mighty] fraction of Moscow’s mass protests against the “victory” of Vladimir Putin. This is a photo of what is affectionately called “Love Bridge”

There is absolutely nothing being said about this on the mainstream American news networks for several reasons.. One possibly being that we openly supported Putin [and admired him on several occasions] and now the entire country seems to have shown up in opposition. Solidarity Russia.

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:35:48 -0600

“Each time someone makes a statement about antagonism to the cops as “alienating,” and therefore bad for a movement, we should always respond: alienating to whom? Because such a statement always implies a fundamental political position. Sure, that antagonism is alienating to liberals, conservatives, some of the working class, most of the middle class, all of the ruling class. But not to those whose lives have been always marked by the hostility of the police. Because the mention of “peace” and making peace with the police is not neutral. It is equally alienating to the poor, the not-white, the non-citizen, the jailed, the haters of capital and society. Such is a basic uncrossable divide. One has to pick a side. And to side with those who think that social upheaval has anything to do with changing public policy or getting votes, with those who have a material stake in defending this order, would be the worst mistake we could ever make.”

American radicals today want nothing to do with the 1960s. In the many meetings I’ve attended at Occupy Wall Street and the many left-wing articles I’ve read about it, the ’60s haven’t been invoked once—not as a source of ideas, tactics, or organizational forms. Like most other Americans, radicals want to leave the ’60s behind. It’s important to remember, however, that the ’60s have been subjected to four decades of reactionary revisionism. An amazingly fecund era has been reduced to a string of harmless clichés: free love, bell bottoms, rock ’n’ roll, etc. There is no better time than now to penetrate the platitudes that surround the ’60s in order to excavate what can be useful to our present struggle.

Abbie Hoffman’s Steal This Book is just such a useful artifact. After forty years, its advice remains exceedingly relevant, especially to embattled occupiers: “If a pig grabs you by the wrist, you can break the grip by twisting against his thumb,” “Ski goggles or the face visor on a crash helmet will protect against Mace but will offer no protection against the chemical warfare gasses being increasingly used by pigs to disperse crowds. For this protection you’ll need a gas mask.” But even more instructive than Hoffman’s advice is his sensibility. Steal This Book is the opposite of dull, mirthless leftism. It’s downright exuberant. While Hoffman is dead serious about destroying “corporate feudalism,” he’s also dead serious about having fun doing it. Crucially, this fun is not merely a way to lighten the dull business of building a social movement (although it is that). It also embodies a specific form of life that the “Pig Empire” seeks ruthlessly to repress, one where desire is the driving force of politics. Steal This Book is useful for learning how to puncture police tires and make stink bombs, but even more for learning how to heed our political desires.

"In The Poverty of Philosophy, Marx writes, ‘Time is everything, man is nothing; he is, at the most,..."

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:42:26 -0600

“

In The Poverty of Philosophy, Marx writes, ‘Time is everything, man is nothing; he is, at the most, time’s carcass.’ This appears, initially, as just a conveniently catastrophic metaphor. However, we might read it in three ways.

1
In the loosest interpretation, that takes it primarily as a ramped up modifier of the preceding sentence concerning how ‘one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour,’ man is ‘time’s carcass’ insofar as man’s specificity is killed, leaving man a carcass animated by value and made to labor, simply a unit of potential activity subordinated to labor time.

2
If we recall the particularity of form and content in Marx, however, we approach a different perspective, a trajectory sketched in a single sentence. The active development, via laboring of man as labor power (the content)150 produces the material conditions for labor time (the form). However, the perversity of capital is that this form does not remain adequate to its content. It becomes divorced from it and increasingly autonomous. But this is not the story of a form that simply takes leave from its originary content and ‘becomes everything,’ simply dominant. Rather, it comes to determine the content in a constant passage back and forth, to force it to accord with the development of that form: any opposition between form and content becomes increasingly incoherent. As such, man is time’s carcass in that living labor power is valued only in accordance with its form: it is that form, fully developed into the general equivalence of value, alone which is of worth. Man, the original source of that form, is a husk dominated by an abstraction with no single inventor. Form fully reenters and occupies the content as if it were dead matter, incapable of generating further adequate forms. And when it is productive to do so, time makes those bones dance.

3
Man – or rather, the human as more than the common man of capital – is that which is born in the death of time. It is the leftover of the collapse of capital, and it is the faint prospect, in the decomposition of the dominant social relation (the representation that mediates between labor power and labor time), of an existence that outlives capital.

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:47:55 -0600

“That denial reaches right up to the pinnacle of the local political food chain: Michele Bachmann, who stayed silent on the suicide cluster in her congressional district for months – until Justin’s mom, Tammy Aaberg, forced her to comment. In September, while Bachmann was running for the GOP presidential nomination, Aaberg delivered a petition of 141,000 signatures to Bachmann’s office, asking her to address the Anoka-Hennepin suicides and publicly denounce anti-gay bullying. Bachmann has publicly stated her opposition to anti-bullying legislation, asking in a 2006 state Senate committee hearing, “What will be our definition of bullying? Will it get to the point where we are completely stifling free speech and expression?… Will we be expecting boys to be girls?” Bachmann responded to the petition with a generic letter to constituents telling them that “bullying is wrong,” and “all human lives have undeniable value.” Tammy Aaberg found out about the letter secondhand. “I never got a letter,” says Tammy, seated in the finished basement of the Aabergs’ new home in Champlin; the family couldn’t bear to remain in the old house where Justin hanged himself. “My kid died in her district. And I’m the one that presented the dang petition!” In a closed room a few feet away are Justin’s remaining possessions: his cello, in a closet; his soccer equipment, still packed in his Adidas bag. Tammy’s suffering hasn’t ended. In mid-December, her nine-year-old son was hospitalized for suicidal tendencies; he’d tried to drown himself in the bathtub, wanting to see his big brother again.”

socialistmn:

Our friends in Occupy Minneapolis glitterbombed Mitt Romney… twice.

Check out the ridiculous coverage of it by Fox News, which mocks the act of glitterbombing, implying that the Occupy folks should be arrested and/or have forced used on them from security.

Most importantly, the coverage completely fails to mention that the core purpose of glitterbombing is to make show of and confront the hateful anti-gay policies of these corporate politicians. As usual, corporate media washes out the important political message of the Occupiers and then portrays them as being disrespectful and thoughtless. We’re pretty sure that the oppression of the LGBT community is far more disrespectful than getting glitter in your hair.
