My Darling Emma

Ask for work. If they do not give you work, ask for bread. If they do not give you work or bread, then take bread

Reform or REVOLUTION?

It is not true that Socialism will arise automatically from the daily struggle of the working class. Socialism will be the consequence of (1), the growing contradictions of capitalist economy and (2), of the comprehension by the working class of the unavoidability of the suppression of these contradictions through a social transformation
~Rosa Luxemburg "Reform or Revolution"

Socialism 2011!

So excited for Socialism 2011 this July in Chicago! Thousands of leftist revolutionaries, in one place, for four days of geeking out to politics and revolutionary talk? Partyyyy! This will be my first time attending, but many of my friends went last summer, and said it was a blast. This year should be unforgettable, as REVOLUTION IS IN THE AIR!

UNAC Anti-War Demonstration: April 9th!

Call to Action!
And Request for Endorsement

April 9, 2011
New York & San Francisco
from the
United National Antiwar Committee

WHO ARE THE WARMAKERS?

THEY are the government, corporate, and financial powers that wage war, ravage the environment and the economy and trample on our democratic rights and liberties.

WHO ARE THE PEACEMAKERS?

WE are the vast majority of humanity who want peace, a healthy planet and a society that prioritizes human needs, democracy and civil liberties for all.

The Warmakers spend trillions of dollars yearly on endless wars in pursuit of global domination and profit while murdering millions of innocent people, installing corrupt and hated governments and funding occupations that displace millions from their homelands – trampling on the right of oppressed people to self-determination.

THEY send our youth – victims of the economic draft – to fight over the very fossil fuels whose unrestrained use threatens the future of the planet while corrupt and virtually unregulated oil giants dump billions of gallons of death into our rivers and oceans.

THEY wage a fake “war on terrorism” at home – the new McCarthyism – that promotes racism and Islamophobia aimed at destroying civil liberties and democratic rights.

THEY grant repeated and untold trillions in bailouts to banks, corporations and financial institutions while breaking unions, robbing pensions, destroying jobs, foreclosing homes, de-funding education and vital social services and are once again threatening Social Security and Medicare.

THEY offer no solutions to the current crises other than more of the same.

THE PEACEMAKERS DEMAND a better world. Only a massive, united, inclusive and independent movement has the power to bring it into being.

WE DEMAND Bring U.S. Troops, Mercenaries and War Contractors Home Now: Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan! End the sanctions and stop the threats of war against the people of Iran, North Korea and Yemen. No to war and plunder of the people of Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa! End U.S. Aid to Israel! End U.S. Support to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine and the Siege of Gaza!

WE DEMAND trillions for jobs, education, social services, an end to all foreclosures, quality single-payer healthcare for all, a massive conversion to sustainable and planet-saving energy systems and public transportation and reparations to the victims of U.S. terror at home and abroad.

WE DEMAND an end to FBI raids on antiwar, social justice, and international solidarity activists, an end to the racist persecution and prosecutions that ravage Muslim communities, an end to police terror in Black, Latino and Native American communities, full rights and legality for immigrants and an end to all efforts to repress and punish Wikileaks and its contributors and founders.

WE DEMAND the immediate end to torture, rendition, secret trials, drone bombings and death squads.

WE ARE DEDICATED TO A WORLD
OF PEACE AND JUSTICE.

All Out April 9, 2011

The political revolution in Libya is changing everyday.

Solidarity With The Commuknits Revolution!


My lovely revolutionary pal at commuknits.tumblr.com has inspired me to create a blog dedicated to my passion for revolution, veganism, feminism, left-wing politics and, of course, knitting.

We are in revolutionary times comrades.
It is the time to explore and discover our own revolutionary potential.
Our potential to tear down the stagnant and unjust, and to create a more just and meaningful future for us all.

From the Middle East, to Greece, to Madison Wisconsin, to London England..the revolution is in our hands.
The power of art and community, of words and information sharing are of great potential in this, the 21st century.
