Yes just an inchoate mass. He abhors politics and the idea of revolution. One minute he impresses me then he fucks me off. Like in this interview where he is pushing the idea of basic universal income. His five point plan to get us there is kind of reformist. Drat https://youtu.be/TWSUGepuEoI
I was quite impressed with what he said about Corbyn at the very end of the video (trying to shake the tree for more crumbs). Can't believe there are no party members with YouTube accounts doing this kind of thing. Or maybe there are? Surely the party should get in touch with this guy for an interview on one of his mad videos.
What a fuckin horrible species we are. Even in "Primitive Communism" they were laying the foundations of private property society through murder, human sacrifice and fetishing their leaders. "But it's the system!". For me it's the other way about. We are the system through which Capitalism operates as the latest most hideous reflection…of us. I wish I could get out of this negative shit whilst lobbing pointless bombs but I just feel we are totally fucked.
I just hope the party could arrange a forum or a debate with him whenever he's next in London. Not sure if he would accept though.
I must be getting mixed up then. I thought he was a young Labour "firebrand". The young guy I'm thinking of reminds me of another odious little prick by the name of Federico Pistono who's ego is massaged by dunderheids paying him to fly all over the world giving "talks" about a lot of shite. And the self aggrandisement! Fuckin hell he's like an apprentice to that other windbag Žižek. To think these people make a living out of this whilst the very finest speakers in the party are completely unkown. Fuckin travesty.
Magic I just ordered Francis Wheen Karl MarxStephen Greenblatt The SwerveEdward Gaitens The Apprenticesplus the new book by Adam "The Alternative to Capitalism"Thanks again for these book ideas. Cheers R
Listen Thankyou all again for these book ideas. I just know what my Da is like with technology. He hasnt even moved into CDs yet with his music system and still plays tapes and LPs so I know he would just leave the kindle in a drawer. I will look into the E Gaitens title and cheers Jondwhite but I think I'll just skip the Owen Jones one. He's that self important little leftist prick who writes for the Guardian. Or am I getting mixed up?
I didn't receive any email notification that I had replies to this thread so Thankyou very much for these reccomendations. I'm guessing he already has the E. P. Thompson as well as "No Mean City". I had forgotten about the Francis Wheen title so I think I'll get it for him. My old man doesn't even have a mobile phone never mind a Kindleso I think that's out of it. I've already bought him Bruce Parry's "Tribe" (book of the series) and a book by Suzanne Romaine entitled "Vanishing Voices" about the gradual extinction of the worlds languages. Adam didn't you recently publish a book? I want to get that for him too. Thanks again cheers R
"Well…that's life". This is what Trump said on the prospect of a nuclear war in the Far East. The "Working class" deserve all they get. Stupid bastards. Our horrible fuckin species is on a death wish. World Socialism? Forget it!
"As to human nature etc if you brutalise human beings enough they will tend to become monsters themselves."And who is brutalising human beings? Other human beings…
"Or your own mother who scrimped and saved to put a warm jacket around when you were a kid." What do you know about my fuckin mother? The cunt died two years ago and not a moment to soon. She typified what I hate about "humanity". A virus which includes "parents" who use their own children. She was a sometime party member and also a user, a liar and a manipulator. For your info on top of that for several years I was sexually abused starting at the age of 9 by another party member who shall remain nameless. So don't talk to me about the milk of human kindness.The party as an edifice shall remain blameless because it has tried it's level best to change perception in the past 120 years…to no avail. From what I can see all we've had for the past 10,000 years is a pathetic litany of violence, slavery, genocide, rape, exploitation and misery caused by human greed. I don't imagine it was a bed of roses in "primitive Communism" either. Trying to dress all this up as being caused by this or that "ism" is a cop out. The problem is US. Just watch this latest film by Adam Curtis to see how we've ended up… http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04b183c We are well and truly fucked.
Our horrible cheating, lying, thieving, manipulating, torturing, murdering, devouring, exploiting, conniving species is going to extinguish itself. Why even bother labelling this situation by calling it Capitalism? We created the fucker in our own image. It's our baby. Forget the "Working Class" saving the planet. That's a fuckin pipedream. No such thing as human nature? You could have fooled me. Blaming it all on "Capitalism" is a fuckin cop out. CAPITALISM IS THE HIDEOUS MANIFESTATION OF…US.
Listen I didn't put that post up for praise or to be set up as an example for members to emulate. I'm not even a party member anymore. It might piss people off as I've written some amount of garbage on here. Also I'm in the bizarre situation where I don't actually know who most of you are never having met you. Similarly most of you will never have met me. We can't even see each other! Yes the net (if we can hold onto it before it is completely eclipsed by the owning class) is an amazing leveller but it also lends people the ability to become assholes behind a screen. Me included. This might go some way to explaining why there's all this endless bickering going on here. Would there have been as much bad feeling in the 70's or 80's when the Internet didn't exist? I don't know. Trolls, stalkers, haters, revenge porn and all the rest of it didn't exist years ago. It's as if the Internet has given workers a tool to vent and vomit with. To enable them at last to unleash some of the frustration that comes with being utterly powerless.
