@chrisgerhard My big fear is joining the Euro

In the current conditions a sovereign currency is needed to get us out of the hole

Re the assisted dying thing

In Canada disabled people are choosing death because they aren't getting the help they need

Think about it for a minute, with the current government's hatred of disabled people. Think what might happen in Britain.

@Radical_EgoCom @neptune22222 @starran @Rob100@sakurajima.moe and you’ve got housing cooperatives, food, credit unions. Syndicalism in general. Creating democratic dual power structures as a transitional move to protect and help each other. Learning how to do mutual aid.

It’s a completely different way of thinking from acting like a temporarily embarrassed billionaire we’ve had rammed into our heads for years on end.

@zimpenfish I emailed support after finding it eventually.

Without a well organised mass movement to take them on you’re going to get nowhere. That’s hard work, not wishing.

Our owners will not let us legislate them away. They smashed the post war social democratic consensus to smithereens. It’s done.

They’ve been free to do whatever they like for the last 50 years. You think you can put that blood soaked murder machine back in its box?

@neptune22222 @Radical_EgoCom @starran @Rob100@sakurajima.moe

Promoting?

Warning.

Straw man.

Back in the 80’s my government put people in wheelchairs who were fighting for their jobs.

In the US you have gun battles and the murder of union activists in the early to mid 20th century, the civil rights struggle. More recently the mysterious deaths of the leaders of Ferguson. Now we have the suppression of the campus protests.

@neptune22222 @Radical_EgoCom @starran @Rob100@sakurajima.moe if anyone would like to do a reading group of the Engels text, DM me and let’s see if we can get something going.

I moved from Substack to Ghost, which was fine

I have some long articles and think it would be good to add a table of contents.

Edit the layout to add it in

In order to have a custom layout I need to move from the small tier ($9mo) to the medium tier ($25/mo)

I can't justify that, I don't have enough subscribers. I don't want to install Ghost on my own machine - pain in the ass.

Can't I just pay an extra couple of bucks?

Ridiculous.

And there's no-one to email, of course.

@neptune22222 @Radical_EgoCom @starran @Rob100@sakurajima.moe

I hope this helps, it's my view. https://www.greenplenty.info/take-their-toys-away/

@neptune22222 @Radical_EgoCom @starran @Rob100@sakurajima.moe

I'm not gonna ignore this question, it's really interesting and useful to talk about. I will write an article to explain my position if you don't mind. This might take me a little while.

You're right, but there's a whole pile of things we need to think about that go with it.

Shitty week. Tried to do a bit this morning and got social media sabotaged. Sleep for a bit, I think.

@Radical_EgoCom @neptune22222 @starran @Rob100@sakurajima.moe

be taken away, as we’ve had for 50 years of individualist neoliberalism.

Things are in a constant state of change, and the only way to fix it permanently is to take the capitalists’ toys away.

The Green Plenty stuff on my profile talks about this in more detail than I can fit here, fwiw.

In volume 1 he says capitalist society had to force capitalists in general to stop killing the working class before it could reproduce itself. Cites places where average mortality was 17.

The only freedom capitalist relations grant is be exploiter or exploited.

Utopian comes from Engels’ book “Socialism, Utopian and Scientific”. The worker class must be in charge or any gains can
