meditation on london sympathy

initially cold

grade 7 or 8

awful teacher

gave me my first d
cant even remember
what for

not impressed
boy nature wolf story
just didnt speak to me

man vs nature
just not
theme i appreciate
i guess
but
clumsiness
that sense of

what has been done
cannot now be undone

in the worst possible way

i imagine that spoke to
me better

it was years later yet
mayday books of course
i laid eye on the iron heel
dystopian fiction from
the crypto socialist

not so crypto turns
rather unspoken often
hushed up but perhaps
a fact asserting itself
a little more now that
leftist ideas are if not
fashionable at least
a subject at all again

& the iron heel
well not the best dystopian fiction
ive ever read

honestly that honor would have to go
to 1984 & hunger games
in a fight to the death between them
maybe amiable defiant alliance

anyway
not bad prescient way
format somewhat innovative
its time considered

heard now by way
of the nature manly rumor mill
comrade london was into nietzsche
social darwinism too
complicating character
& strange kinship
synthesis of divergent tastes
must needs find
a biography

a puny point of polemics

"... and also state capital, in so far as governments employ productive wage-labour in mines, railways, etc., and function as industrial capitalists...."
-karl marx capital volume 3 pg 177

some proof contrary
to the trotskyist theory
that the ussr was a degenerated workers state

regardless of how you slice it
bureaucrats were the new bosses
kinda proved by the easy transition
into the purer
mafia capitalism
of current day russia

& it acts like a commodity & all that is implied

Money is the universal equivalent form of all commodities, which already show in their prices that they ideally represent a specific sum of money, expected to be transformed into money, and only receive the form in which they can be converted into use-values for their possessor by changing places with money. Thus once labor-power is found on the market as a commodity, its sale taking place in the form of payment for labour, in the wage form, then its sale and purchase is no more striking than the sale and purchase of any other commodity. What is characteristic is not that the commodity labour-power can be bought, but the fact that labour-power appears as a commodity.

you cant compete with the state they have guns

one of my goals for this year is to finish at least volume two of capital by karl marx.

the introduction by ernest mandel has so far been one of the most revealing & compelling parts of this book
it presents the weapon manufacturing industry as the tireless backbone of capitalism

meaning when all other industries fail there will always be a market for weapons

meaning capitalism will never fail entirely with this basis in existence

there will "always" be state & private markets for weapons

the state has a monopoly on violence -
this is part of the marxist definition of the state
even violence against wild animals has to be state sanctioned in industrialized nations

marxism broadly reflects that in the absence of a final
crisis
meaning no natural death for capitalism or the state
armed insurrection illegal violence
is the only method for packing it away once & for all

kind of goofy to try to beat it at its own game

the state will always resort to violence when it has to in order to get people to behave the right way

& snever the white collars who wear the nooses in mass

even with dedicated leadership the strongest armed insurrections can only wreak so much change for so long

because violence has to do with coercion & power paradigms & competition

so those are the paradigms that need to be challenged usurped & changed

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.

a final word/2:
