notes from the revolution [15 May 2008|11:28am] "Globalization theory, which speaks of ethics, hides the fact that its ethics are those of the marketplace and not the ethics of the human person. It is for these matters that we ought to struggle courageously if we have, in truth, made a choice for a humanized world. A world of real people. Globalization theory cleverly hides, or seeks to cloud over, an intensified new edition of that fearful evil that is historical capitalism, even if the new version is somewhat modified in relation to past versions. Its fundamental ideology seeks to mask that what is really up for discussion is the increasing wealth of the few and the rapid increase of poverty and misery for the vast majority of humanity. The capitalist system reaches, in its globalizing neoliberal crusade, the maximum efficacy of it intrinsically evil nature." Paulo Freire cry something

jesus. [29 Apr 2008|03:13am] Thanks again, fucked up ass media. NY Times editorial: inane. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/29/opinion/29herbert.html the "news" story (NOT on the editorial page) reads just as badly, and simply portrays Wright as a vain entertainer, without adressing any of the substance of his speech. wow. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/29/us/politics/29watc.html you should actually WATCH the speech that he wrote about. I don't even like religion, but someone should give this guy some airtime. it's kind of good. http://www.hiphopmusic.com/2008/04/rev_wright_national_press_club.html p.s. im fucking sick of politics. overthrow dat shit. cry something

notes from the revolution [28 Apr 2008|02:56am] "How many billions of dollars does the United States sell in arms to Third World governments? It's an incredible figure - and at the cost of hunger, of dire poverty. How many millions are killed by the "bombs" of starvation, lack of electric power, health care, food? And why does this happen? Becuase of the dependency of these countries on big capital. Because of the exploitation of the people of those countries. That's the truth." ~ Nestor Lopez Cuba 4 feel nothing| cry something

oh castro, how i <3 you [16 Apr 2008|12:04am] "They invented a democracy for you - a strange, a very strange democracy, in which you, who were the majority, did not count for anything. Although you, farmer and worker, were the ones who produced the majority of the wealth and - together with the intellectual workers - produced all the wealth, many of you who produced everything did not even have the opportunity to learn to sign your name. The invented a strange democracy for you - a democracy in which you who were the majority did not even exist politically within society. They spoke to you of civil rights. In that situation of civil rights your child could die of hunger before the unconcerned glance of the government. Your child could be left without learning to read or write a single letter and you yourself had to go and sell your work at the price that they wanted to pay you for it and whenever anybody was interested in buying it from you. They spoke to you of rights that never existed for you. Your children could not be sure even of the right to a school. Your children did not have the guaranteed even the right to a doctor. Your children did not have the guaranteed right even to a piece of bread, and you yourself did not have the guarantee even of the right to work... Democracy is this; that gives a gun to the farmers, gives a gun to the workers, gives a gun to the students, gives a gun to the Black people, gives a gun to the poor, and gives a gun to any other citizen who is willing to defend a just cause...This can be done only by a government truly democratic, a government where the majority governs." cry something

"AINT NO POWER LIKE THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE CUZ THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE WONT STOP" [27 Mar 2008|04:25pm] [ mood | revolutionary ] SAY WHAT? protest chants are funny. http://wcco.com/local/iraq.war.rally.2.686416.html http://kstp.com/article/stories/S392699.shtml?cat=1 ahaha fuck you corporate media. two local news stations use same AP report about today's anti-war protest. are we: a) "Students Rally To Mark Iraq War's Anniversary" or b) "Protestors disrupt traffic at 'U'" ? and: http://www.startribune.com/video/17062841.html less biased, didn't show the massive police presence, though. damn. and the dumb wanna-be-navy kid they interviewed? i guess were also just 'inconveniencing people and holding things up' and we should be talking to our 'elected representatives because that's the only way to get our opinion heard.' fuck your elected representatives, they obviously haven't been listening. too bad they didnt show the part when we chanted "what the hell is congress for? cut the funding, end the war." someone tell Toddy McWhiteHat to suck norm coleman's cock some more. maybe the next step is a similar protest in their offices? somehow, i dont think that would be allowed. for the record, there were way more than 200 marching. try 400. also, note the lack of mentioning that there were at least 100 police (to about 200 protesters who continued to the recruitment station). ive been at this protest every year since the war started, and i have never seen nearly as many cops as there were today. a few on horses, a ton of bikes riding along with the protest (i daresay as many or more as on our critical mass rides), Black SUVs, a helicopter, and more than enough cop cars to drag off the 12 kids that they arrested, but not quite enough for all of us. there will always be too many of us. one cop was even taping the whole thing and perhaps making sure to get as many faces as possible? training videos for the coming months? hard to say. sketchy either way. I asked her why she was taping, and she said 'so we can watch it later?' like she wasnt sure what to say. i asked her if i could watch it, as a taxpayer who paid for it, and she said 'i dont know.' i thought to myself, 'boy im glad youre the one in charge here.' freedom of information act anyone? damn, wish i knew a lawyer. before the marchers surrounded the building the kids were getting arrested in, i had managed to get in it (looking for a bathroom lol). when i came out, they had the stairs and all doors blocked and i tried to go out the door to where the crowd was and the cops started flipping and wouldnt let me out. so i stood there and they were like 'we cant have you standing behind us, leave out the back door now.' thought i was getting arrested for a minute there. Welcome to the United Police States of America. http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2008/03/27/72166311 "You pick your battles," says University Police Chief.
