First half of my political journey was realizing there's more to life than just work, vote, get married, have kids, die. Second half has been realizing there's more to life than just social revolution.

fuckin this tho 👆👆
the thing people don't like to talk about is that when we say there is no "after the revolution" and that the revolution is now and always, one of the implications of that is that "after the revolution" is also now and always. the revolution and what comes after it are one and the same; any revolution that doesn't involve parties is not a revolution, it's a coup.
“Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things.”
Incredible, because Margot Robbie is such a good actress but I can't name a single good thing she was in recently...
Had the same exact thought literally two days ago while watching Dreamland on tv..she carries every role, but almost none of her movies are better than decent

“was it lawful that the supreme court ruled this way?”
what does it matter what the old shits who at every turn have ruled to allow cops to invade your private space and kill you with impunity has to say on anything new? why are you concerned if they made the right choice *this time*? why do you want to keep giving them power?
stop rooting for legal outcomes. end law. take your rights by force.
i just have a hard time with the idea that civilian customer service work—where strangers can come off the street and talk to you like you are the trash on their shoes at the very least, physically threaten you and harm you at the most—is some how morally superior or “better” than sex work. make it make sense.

Yup yup, this so hard tho. True sex worker liberation requires the recognition that sex work merely exists on the continuum of the inherent violence of work. It requires an acknowledgement that sex work is merely a space particular bodies are disciplined within such continuum, a continuum born from the capture of life's matieral conditions by racialized settler colonial capital, and as such are forced to engage within it to survive. Sex worker liberation nessecitates the dismemberment of the feminization of labor, and as such the abolition of work entirely.
u summed it up so perfectly. there is no “sex work” without the structure of “work” and it’s all pretty terrible—what makes sex work uniquely bad is it’s somehow valued even less than civilian service work so predators can harm and kill sex workers with even more impunity—than the guy who shot his wafflehouse waitress in the face for asking him to put his cigarette out in the restaurant (real thing that has happened and at the time...some “news” outlets treated it like a joke or a quirky floridaman story)
We have translated two statements from clandestine anarchist groups in Russia about the mutiny of the Wagner company and what it means for the future of the country.
One is the Movement of Irkutsk Anarchists; the other is the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists.
You can read them here:
communism
“Those who are against Fascism without being against capitalism, who lament over the barbarism that comes out of barbarism, are like people who wish to eat their veal without slaughtering the calf. They are willing to eat the calf, but they dislike the sight of blood. They are easily satisfied if the butcher washes his hands before weighing the meat. They are not against the property relations which engender barbarism; they are only against barbarism itself. They raise their voices against barbarism, and they do so in countries where precisely the same property relations prevail, but where the butchers wash their hands before weighing the meat.”

one can instantly free oneself from the chains of identity discourse by simply conceiving of sexuality as something that is dialectical and not metaphysical
your sexuality does not exist within you, nor does it exist as an immutable wholly external ideal to be discovered. your sexuality is locatable only within your interaction with and relations to the world around you
