Anarchy’s just another word for ‘i hate my middle class parents.’ …okay I’m still bitter about the grungier-than-thou anarcho-fashionists. I still don’t have any tattoos.
I still think that no matter who you vote for that fucking government gets in every time. The NDP/Democrats- like an abusive lover the lefties keep taking back… he’s changed… he promised… it’s going to be better this time…..
Guantanamo Bay is not the only U.S. military prison that uses torture, its just the only one he’s closing down.
The difference for me at my advanced age of 37 is that i no longer think the revolution is just a bank-sit-in away. It ain’t comin. Or if it is, it’s comin’ real gradual. Or it’s comin when the serious global climate change hits the fan. And it won’t be pretty. And I’m fucking scared shitless about that scenario.
I just dream of community that looks after each other. As a whitey in a big city i don’t have much. No place to go, besides a protest. Just a series of friends, familiar faces and people I work with. I lived on a small island for a while. There, people bring you dinner when you’re sick, do fundraisers when shit hits the fan, stay with you while you die. Kids belong. I want to work on this more in the city. But it is work.
Another problem I have is that i’m totally dependent on the capitalist system –which is what I really hate. Way more than government. ‘Course, to quote an old friend, politicians are just the lackeys of the CEOs. But I rely on capitalism for my groceries. We are just not DIY enough in the city.
Is there DIY after 30? Or are we too busy so we JBI? ‘Just Buy It’ and if you can afford it- unionfairtradecooplocallyorganic. (Does it count if you buy somoene else’s DIY?)
And another thing- every one i know lives in their separate little compartments with their primary relationship and their offspring. What ever happened to those big communal houses? [Now its] the isolated units. Mine almost went nuclear last week. Its not a natural way to live. We’re not supposed to raise our kids by ourselves. We know how bad that can turn out.
Community, Do It Yourself, or for your neighbor. Live closer. And of course fight the what ever the fuck it is that you need to fight.
