we must link activist stress with emotional & transformative justice

ongoing postmarxist critique

older now but
this article
the immediate need for emotional justice
speaks again
experiences in sectarian
socialism

not only my own emotional
luggage
that of
burnouts wanderoffs
jadeds tired outs
overstressed
folks
all around

stress confrontation
buildup & letdown

fig13a lets not forget the sectarian student recruitment fetish while we are here

so few ways to vent
so few ways for feelings
to be taken seriously
always talking about
sacrifice
like for blood
im going to have to write
more on that later
but

fig13b with narrative logic like that no wonder enrollment is at historic lows

speaking to abuse
in the activist community
in which i seem
to have taken interest

lacking emotional justice

folks from homes
broken

by capitalism
the state

turn to what theyve learned
violence abuse
coercion manipulation

mirroring
in these communities
those very dynamics
poison dynamics

which the world we
want to change
consistently
regenerates

if we cant fix it
in ourselves
our loved ones
comrades
trusted

how can we empower
friends
acquaintances
strangers

& even our enemies

yet
i know sectarians
wont listen
at best theyre slow to change
its all about building
glorious proletarian revolution
without ever addressing
personal problems
problems must in essence first
be polticized
too often at the cost
of dehumanizing
the problemed
sacred logic ending
with dismissal

and we will not discuss this like gentlemen
this is genocide, we are desensitized
we are the set aside setting our sights on the enterprise
we were never meant to find
this is America: one big happy prison
but we wrote our names on the walls
you thought it was graffiti, but it was a sign

my response here reproduced,

hmmm, this is a really thought-provoking one….

“Citizen” is quite the ancient Roman term. Greek, too, but more importantly Roman because our government structure is based on the Republic, not the polis. The citizen has rights, most definitively the right to vote – the other rights are historically negotiated and vary from area and epoch.

“Client” is a management term. A client is both a customer and a boss.Complicated relationship. The proletariat does not deal (has not dealt) in clients and has (had) a customer and/or a boss, never both in the same person (until the advent of the “independent contractor”).

“Customer” is a market term, in both the abstract (“the market economy”) and concrete (the physical marketplace) sense. Producers seek customers in the first sense in order to convert goods into money and complete the circuit of capital accumulation. A customer in this sense is merely a link in a chain and a necessary evil in the process of making money. The retail worker handles customers in the second sense and may either be petit-bourgeoise or employed by one (wherein petit-bourgeoise means either small business owner or retail management of a corporation). Increased use of the term “customer” indicates an attempt at increased market penetration or market ideals, capitalism being a totalitarian and colonizing system.

So the debate illustrates, I think, a further shift towards the marketization of government, and works a double function of obscuring the military-industrial oppression of people in occupied territory, folks subjected to oppression, incarceration, and a deprivation of direct participation in their own environment. Thus:

What word best describes who to enlist in “efforts to ensure a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards”?

A: Praetorian fits, I think.

please forgive the use of convention
in language

a final word/2:
empire replicates.
