Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song "A Las Barricadas".

Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of "A Las Barricadas" to the tune of "Warszawianka 1905 roku", itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

Went to a local meeting of the German left party (Die Linke) today. Was super worried that it was gonna be a bunch of zionist libs. After all the topics on the schedule were discussed and everyone was standing outside the building and chatting, I kinda hesitantly asked the guy I was talking to about where everyone was at on Israel/Palestine (The age range was like 20-70).

In response, he went over to the oldest guy around and asked him "Why can't Germany be normal about Israel?" and this 70-year-old German grandpa started ranting about apartheid, genocide, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, censorship of pro-Palestinian voices in Germany, everything.

You have no idea how relieved I was. For the first time since October 7th I was hearing other German people acknowledge that Israel is a genocidal apartheid state. No "We have to support them because of our country's history", no "It's complicated", no "But October 7th", no "But Khhamas". This Syrian guy told me that his family comes from a town in the Golan Heights and how people with German and Syrian citizenship aren't allowed to travel to Israel so he can't visit his hometown anymore.

I feel a little less insane after 18 months of nonstop propaganda. So happy that the local lefties aren't just radlibs. The old grandpa later told a story about how one of his comrades farted in a cop's face at some protest back in the day. Not everyone in this country is a lost cause.

latest chapo made an interesting point (admittedly after reminiscing for too long about some TV show I've never heard of and will not watch)

whoever takes office after Trump will have to go whole hog in rooting out everything he's done and punishing officials for their involvement, or all this is just gonna slip into president and we'll be stuck with this as normal... you know, kinda like what Obama didn't do after taking the reins from Bush.

My partner had a ton of old credit card debt that got written off this year. That generated a tax bill of over $4300!

It's such bullshit that it's considered a taxable event to be so poor the credit card company would rather take the tax write off than try to collect.

I was going to try an offer in compromise because they are on disability and poor, but it's such a maddeningly complex process that we can't even start because the stupid IRS website won't recognize their identity documents. It's so amazing that the website to file for relief has the security of fort Knox, but I can make a credit card payment with no verification at all.

IMO the correct way to experience Beowulf is to have somebody drunkenly stumble their way through it at a bar. This is how the authors intended it to be taken in.

"Since all media in China is controlled directly by the state...the posts which the government allows on social media are very negative on Donald Trump"

-Guy on Bloomberg

Like dude, have you considered that most Chinese don't take kindly to the US declaring economic war on them? No, it's clearly that Xi Jinping sits and deletes any "Go USA!" posts.

I got to stop watching this shit.

Listening to The Once and Future Sex

sex talkand I just got to the part about midwives having the duty to finger women as a medical procedure, because being horny was considered a dangerous medical ailment for women and alleviating that digitally was not considered sodomy.

Shout out to some medieval theologians for being so misogynists they embrace lesbian sex. Like they're not just ignoring it, they're endorsing it.

I had no idea who this Ms Rachel person was before zionists tried to cancel her but after looking her up, it's really the most comical target imaginable. There's a lot of weird stuff on Youtube Kids but Ms Rachel seems so sincere and wholesome, she has all these videos with Elmo, going after her of all people is wild.

Edit: I watched the first 5 minutes and it stands out to me that during the ABCs song with Elmo, she's actually singing harmonies to the tune. I feel like I wouldn't bother with that if I was singing to toddlers and it's kinda sweet that she does.

Edit 2: "If you ask any parent in the United States to choose between abandoning Ms Rachel and being Hamas, you're going to get everyone to choose being Hamas." - Matt Lieb inshallah

Literally everything went as planned today. I made no noticeable mistakes, and I exceeded even my own expectations. I was on time to everything and helpful to new people at work. I went for an hour walk IN THE SUN. Why do I feel so bad about myself rn?!?

Jammed with work homie tonight. I gave him a guitar and I'd heard he was tsking lessons a couple years back. Homie didn't know how to do chords and just kinda noodled. Wasn't much to drum to and he wasn't following any beat I'd lay down. So I taught him how to play power chords, plugged my bass in and gave some guitar lessons instead.

It's kinda messed up when you think about it that the current ruling party in Italy is more or less a direct successor to the fascist party, like right down to stealing the logo of the Italian social movement (A movement the current prime minister was part of, a movement which openly proclaimed its fascism), and yet they get to call themselves centre right etc, a designation that the press run with and respect. The term "far right" and to an extent even "right wing" exists solely as a designator for things not in power.
