Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

  • I don’t care who someone’s family is, their actions are what defines them.

    If someone was the son of Hitler and they did massive charity work, I don’t care. If someone was the child of Theodore Roosevelt and murdered someone, I don’t care.

    It’s weird that being the grandson of some random KGB is what matters here more than the fact they are aiding a fascist take over. Like it’s in their DNA.

    My grandfather on my mother’s side was a Nazi. We’re unsure of it was willing or “everyone had be in Nazi Germany.” I still fight for the rights of minorities everywhere. His actions don’t speak for mine. Nor my mother’s.








  • “Vote for Democrats to stop Trump! They’re the only ones who will stand up for you and what America stands for!”

    [Votes to approve Trump’s picks, some unanimously despite questioning them intensely]

    So how many times are the voters going to be fooled by Lucy holding the football before we organize a new party?

    If I can’t trust my fucking senators in a solid blue state to not vote yes on Trump’s bootlicking cabinet picks, who can I vote for? I can’t vote third party, they don’t win. I can’t vote progressives, they get ratfucked on local and federal elections.

    I vote on local propositions, the side with more money wins than anything good. My state kept prison slavery labor, increase punishments for “stealing” food and small life necessities, and turned down laws to help increase the minimum wage and rent control policies.

    Fucking neoliberal NIMBYs and their consequences have been a disaster for anything good in the human condition.

    I’ve been so disillusioned by American politics I have to wonder if the media is just one big brainwashing operation that Orwell wishes he could never dream of as a nightmare to warn us about.
