Holy shit who is this woman? Don’t know the name but I am interested in reading more of what she has to say.
Lucy Parsons, born a slave and later a widely known anarchist, declared in one of her most famous speeches:
How many of the wage class, as a class, are there who can avoid obeying the commands of the master (employing) class, as a class? Not many, are there? Then are you not slaves to the money power as much as were the black slaves to the Southern slaveholders? Then we ask you again: What are you going to do about it? You had the ballot then. Could you have voted away black slavery? You know you could not because the slaveholders would not hear of such a thing for the same reason you can’t vote yourselves out of wage-slavery.

Put her in civ 6 too

Lucy E. Parsons (c. 1851 – 1942) was an American social anarchist and later anarcho-communist
She was a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World and edited radical newspapers.
Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, Parsons moved towards communism. She became a notorious political figure and Chicago police attempted for decades to stop her speaking publicly.
Every day I learn about a new cool person from history, it never stops.
What remains of the IWW in the USA has a framed sweater she knitted for Albert her husband while he was on death row because a bomb thrown by an unknown killed some cops at at a strike he was an organiser for.
Lucy Parsons was unfathomably based and we really should talk about her more here.
As someone else mentioned, she was the wife of Albert Parsons, one of the Haymarket Riot martyrs
just girl thoughts 💅
i made a sticker out of this quoteshortest leftist

Is stabbing your boss the new quiet quitting???
I think Luigi broke the seal on something and there’s no going back
Gotta give it a few years, but I am currently preparing a “Dear Anarchists, I was wrong. Propaganda of the deed can, indeed, be effective…” post.
Preparing to submit my new pamphlet to marxists.org
A Dialectical Comparison of Conditions in the 19th and 21st Centuries and How Useful Revolutionary Tactics Have Changed
or Why It’s a Good Idea This Time
I’m ready to be there with you comrade.
Please anarchists, I want to be owned.
sorry we don’t believe in ownership
Anyone who said “nothing will come of this” has been proven wrong, infinitely so when you, yknow, think about how propaganda works and realize 90% of the country simultaneously going “yea yknow what kill those fuckers” is obviously in and of itself something momentous
If there are copycats, it still needs to be shown that it actually is effective in terms of political change. Likewise, if change does happen in the near future, it would be unclear whether it was already in the course of its own development with or without Luigi
(*western) anarchists themselves abandoned it after getting socdem benefits
(aside from space program in spain, but they’ve had franco)raf and 17n didn’t, with not a lot of success as a propaganda (vdl miss to the l column)
It won’t change the class relations of society but it may raise class consciousness slightly. Hating the bourgeoisie is an excellent starting point.
Khamenei apology form but for the abstract notion of just killing a guy.
I dunno, I want to see if it continues past the next week or two. There have been a decent number of times where it felt like there was some meaningful change coming and then people just forgot about it.
Of course, big things do happen, but sometimes it feels like a phenomenon that happens exclusively outside America.
Turns out you can just fuckin, kill em lol
I wonder if it was one of those 2 hour meetings that should’ve been an email.
if so, I get it. on that alone.
It’s the week before Christmas so probably a mandatory fun meeting where the president announces no bonus this year but everyone gets to leave at 3pm on Christmas Eve!
It’s a factory, they all practically speaking shut down on Christmas week, and depending on the factory and what they do (or how behind they are) they could shut down all the way through to new years as well.
At least that’s my experience with factory work in the car supply chain, and the factory where this happened here looks like it’s roughly doing the exact same thing. Also just as an aside, a lot of factory type work still here in the states almost always has all sorts of problems with retaining workers.
Now, with that being said, if there’s anyone who I wanted to do some legally questionable stuff to in the 5 years i worked at at factory. It’d be the 3rd shift manager, and some of the division managers, each for different reasons.
Whoah whoah whoah! Let’s not go overboard! The employees get to enter a raffle to win a $10 iTunes gift card.
Hopefully some executives get an early departure from the mortal plane
Goddamn it, I didn’t know stabbing was an option to get out of those…
As expected, the Adjuster’s stealth archer build proven to be higher DPS than this mid melee build.
Did he think he was going to parse? Go for a world record? Push his M+ key beyond +5? I’m usually against playing fotm and meta builds but this was a fumble.
Let this be a lesson to everyone, optimize your build a little before engaging that boss. You can’t save scum in Honour Mode.
-5 int and +5 impulsiveness for michiganites. or maybe for honkeys north of the pyrenees
The victim of the stabbing was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery. He is in serious but stable condition, police said.
they can’t all be bangers but a snowball has to keep rolling to get bigger
why so serious?
you wanna know how he got those scars?
I yearn for a country where this is the daily news story instead of children shooting each other because these demons have robbed them of hope.
I’m imagining this guy coming back in to work after serving a multiple year sentence and pretending like nothing happened
Or immediately asking for a promotion to offset inflation during his unexpected absence
Who is he, George Costanza?
It would be pretty cool if this got so common that people couldn’t even keep track of the individuals/events anymore.
Like school shootings…
Right but with deserving targets instead of innocent victims.
Is it just me or does anyone else find it interesting the subject of the meeting has been left out?
“so as I was saying, layoffs will start next week and . . . Hey Nathan, whatcha got there?”
“It seems to be the popular thing in this day and age,”
*latest fad
Recent quotes have been released coming directly from the CEO:
“oww, oof”
“What are you going to do? Stab me?”
It’s been— two weeks since you hired me
Cocked my head to the side and said, “I’m angry”
Five days since you laughed at me, saying
“Go find a knife, come back and stab me”
This might genuinely be the best comment I’ve ever seen on chapo dot chat.
Can you explain it? Is it lyrics or something?
The Barenaked Ladies had a song with some of the lyrics of all time such as
“Chickity China the Chinese chicken/ Have a drumstick and your brain starts clickin’”^1
“Like Harrison Ford, I’m getting frantic/ Like Sting, I’m tantric/ Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy/ Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don’t make films/ But if I did they’d have a Samurai”^2
^1 a reference to A Tribe Called Quest
^2 a bunch more references
The song has an “Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny” style reference humour thrown at the listener in a rapid fire fashion. References ranging from Japanese cinema to classic hip hop to the Kāmasūtra to DC comics.
One Week by Bare Naked Ladies, notorious bad/meme song
The parody is better than the original, par for this band
Here’s the music vid now you have an ear worm.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Kind of guy who laughs at a funeral. Don’t understand what I mean? Well, you soon will.
I immediately read that with full vocals and musical background. Nice job!
You’ve made Bare Naked Ladies a worthwhile part of history. Fucking amazing post.
