  • I’m not celebrating a murder

    You can though, no one will stop you.

    This specific murder It isn’t morally wrong. It isn’t hypocritical. It isn’t compromising some foundational pillar of being a human.

    Those who stand at the top of a capitistic, private healthcare industry made a choice to create, perpetuate, secure, and promote a system which resulted in deaths of millions for the benefit of shareholders and themselves.

    You don’t have to qualify your indifference or quiet your support. There is no moral quandary here.

    This has literally helped people already. Anthem undid an anesthesia policy reform which would have not covered it in procedures after a certain amount of minutes


  • Its important to recognize modern capitalist control as a form of hostage taking. “Pay us the ransom or your critical infrastructure get its”, even as we’re receiving fingers and earlobes in the mail with every passing year.

    This is so fuckin true.

    Solidarity is about liberating these critical components of infrastructure and operating them for the benefit of the public.

    BINGO if we have the power to protest effectively then we can actually make them hurt. Right now I feel like we don’t have that power at all. Just citing my example of the railroads, they stepped in quick and made sure the goods kept moving.

    The goal isn’t to shut down these institutions, but to run them without profiteers leeching the excess revenue.

    Absolutely.

    That’s why some of the most effective popular economic protests don’t involve suspending services, but operating them while refusing to collect fees for service.

    This is interesting to me I always understood keeping services running for the sake of not harming innocent citizens But I didn’t really think it was effective. I could see a public transport rail system doing that and it working, but how do workers in other industries prevent the corporation they work for from taking in the revenue


  • Remember when the railroad threatened to strike and nacy pelosi said they would throw them in jail if they didn’t go to work…fucking unreal.

    A few take aways:

    They need us so fucking bad

    They will do anything to maintain control

    No one at that level is fighting for you

    Solidarity will be hard to achieve because those threats will be too much for people on the ropes in their day to day life to endure.
