Holy shit who is this woman? Don’t know the name but I am interested in reading more of what she has to say.
Lucy Parsons, born a slave and later a widely known anarchist, declared in one of her most famous speeches:
How many of the wage class, as a class, are there who can avoid obeying the commands of the master (employing) class, as a class? Not many, are there? Then are you not slaves to the money power as much as were the black slaves to the Southern slaveholders? Then we ask you again: What are you going to do about it? You had the ballot then. Could you have voted away black slavery? You know you could not because the slaveholders would not hear of such a thing for the same reason you can’t vote yourselves out of wage-slavery.

Lucy E. Parsons (c. 1851 – 1942) was an American social anarchist and later anarcho-communist
She was a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World and edited radical newspapers.
Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, Parsons moved towards communism. She became a notorious political figure and Chicago police attempted for decades to stop her speaking publicly.
Every day I learn about a new cool person from history, it never stops.
I think Luigi broke the seal on something and there’s no going back
Gotta give it a few years, but I am currently preparing a “Dear Anarchists, I was wrong. Propaganda of the deed can, indeed, be effective…” post.
Preparing to submit my new pamphlet to marxists.org
A Dialectical Comparison of Conditions in the 19th and 21st Centuries and How Useful Revolutionary Tactics Have Changed
or Why It’s a Good Idea This Time
I’m ready to be there with you comrade.
Please anarchists, I want to be owned.
I dunno, I want to see if it continues past the next week or two. There have been a decent number of times where it felt like there was some meaningful change coming and then people just forgot about it.
Of course, big things do happen, but sometimes it feels like a phenomenon that happens exclusively outside America.
I wonder if it was one of those 2 hour meetings that should’ve been an email.
if so, I get it. on that alone.
It’s the week before Christmas so probably a mandatory fun meeting where the president announces no bonus this year but everyone gets to leave at 3pm on Christmas Eve!
It’s a factory, they all practically speaking shut down on Christmas week, and depending on the factory and what they do (or how behind they are) they could shut down all the way through to new years as well.
At least that’s my experience with factory work in the car supply chain, and the factory where this happened here looks like it’s roughly doing the exact same thing. Also just as an aside, a lot of factory type work still here in the states almost always has all sorts of problems with retaining workers.
The victim of the stabbing was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery. He is in serious but stable condition, police said.
they can’t all be bangers but a snowball has to keep rolling to get bigger
