That is exactly what a stooge of the plutocracy pretending not to be a stooge of the plutocracy would say.

If you ask me, he sported a very cupcake-ish hairdo. Just look how it fans out! Perfect for adequate chocolate sprinkle placement.

Way better than Lenin's, in any case.


Make it so, comrade!

There was a joke about ol' Noam over on the Chicago Blah Blah Blah thread, and it made me look around on the internet, and, sadly, Carol Chomsky passed away six years ago.

Noam, 85 according to wikipedia, is still at it, bless his curmudgeonly, enamel-grinding soul.

(Chomsky, of course, is one of the select group of celebrity leftists who has told Comrade Anklebiter to "shut up," f+&~ing counterrevolutionary stooge.)

Last night, after work, I drove to a meeting of the New Hampshire Labor Council. When I arrived there was a sign on the locked door, saying "Call this number blah blah blah." As I said in The Ukraine Thingy thread, I don't have a cellphone, so I walked around the building a couple of times, looking to see if I could see my comrade through the window and signal him. But, alas, I couldn't, so I just went home.

Apparently, the chair of the meeting was the head of the local branch of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association and editor of the New Hampshire Labor Newsletter. Apparently, he and my comrade have repeatedly butted heads over the last couple of years, mostly, of course, over the issue of supporting the Democrats. Later, when I spoke with my comrade, he said "When I walked into the room, XXXX was the only person there. He looked up, saw me, sighed, and said 'Who told you about this?!?' I just laughed and he didn't say anything else to me for the rest of the evening."

Hee hee!

Iraq /Syria: US-led bombings will worsen divisions

"Workers’ and socialist organisations internationally need to be at the forefront of spearheading movements against the rounds of imperialist intervention, and demand rights and decent conditions for refugees. We must also be ready to support and assist non-sectarian, independent, working-class based organisations in the Middle East, and uphold the necessity of protection of the rights of minorities and the right to self-determination. "

Which isn't as angular, as my old comrades used to say, as "Defeat U.S. Imperialism through Workers Revolution!" but I guess it'll have to do.

Werner Heisenberg, Kurt Godel, and Noam Chomsky walk into a bar. Heisenberg turns to the other two and says, "Clearly, this is a joke. But how can we tell whether it's funny?" Godel replies, "Since we are inside the joke, there is no way we can tell." Chomsky says, "Of course this joke is funny-- you're just telling it wrong!"

Man, sometimes I wish I was still a steward.

So, as the article above details, my blessed employer is hiring twice as much seasonal help as last year. Apparently, we didn't do a very good job last year. Pfft, whatever.

Anyway, they hired a nebbish a couple of days ago, overweight, bespectacled, I saw his personnel file on it he talked about his love of video games and toys. All my Teamster brothers and sisters, of course, made jokes about him behind his back.

I've had occasion to mention before that I have a weakness for strays and outcasts. So, I tried to take him under my wing a little bit, give him some tips, etc.

Anyway, I kept hearing my brothers and sisters say that the supes were gonna lay him off. And even though they told jokes at his expense, I am proud to say that they mostly had the right reaction: "F@@# management! They're gonna hire some fat nerd kid and not train him to do his job and then he doesn't do a good job? Woah, who woulda thunk, huh? F@#$ing morons." Etc., etc.

Today, in the middle of the shift, I had to go get a new ink cartridge for my scanner and as I was getting close to the office I saw my full-time supervisor escorting the kid out of the building. I walked into the office and saw my part-time supervisor. For some reason, he asked me "Doodlebug, do you have any children?" "No," I replied, "I don't have any kids. Do you?" "Yeah, I've got a new son," he beamed. "Yeah, well one day your son is gonna grow up to be a fat nerd and he's gonna get hired somewhere and they're not going to train him properly and three days later they're gonna fire him." He tried talking some shiznit, but then I yelled "Vive le Galt!" and punched him in the face.

F!&*ing supervisors.

Back to UPS: The Black Goblin tells me that he is working with a new hire, a Hispanic gentlemen with the given name "Stalin." This has, apparently, led to a great deal of merriment for the Black Goblin.

Black Goblin's boss: "Go tell Stalin to report to the 128 door."

Black Goblin: "Man, you don't tell Stalin anything; Stalin tells you!"

There was a cleaner working at SOAS (a university in London) with the same name, who got sacked. The students held a protest to try and get management to give him his job back, hanging a great big banner outside the building they were occupying saying 'REINSTATE STALIN!'. This was even more amusing since the picture in question appeared in the Morning Star, a daily commie paper I take, where other readers probably mistook it for a Stalin Society advert.

This article has been bugging me for days. On the one hand, yes, the march was a useless waste of time. Any time you get permission to protest, it is a joke. The police isolate the area, and you get to preach to the choir while the decision makers sip champagne on the other side of town, and the news covers things as a traffic disruption. But the demand of purity in the article comes off as very distasteful and cultish. If you are going to take that attitude, you need to hold up some examples of success, or you are just whining.

Here is an article about the "unpermitted" march the next day:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/23/nyregion/climate-change-protesters-wall-s treet.html

The truth is that neither march made a real difference. I don't claim to know what would have made a difference, but pissing on someone else for not being pure enough comes off very badly in my opinion.


[Shrugs]

I was interested to learn that one of the sponsors of the march was a Soros-funded organization that credits itself with helping along the imperialist rape of Libya and conducts PR campaigns to bomb Syria.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I read the article. It just seemed the article was saying that the march being an inclusive and autonomous event was somehow a bad thing. I don't think that some billionaire lobbyist douches sponsorship reduces the importance of a person willing to spend the day protesting for the environment. Especially since the value of a person protesting is worth about $0 to begin with.

I do always like to know where the money comes from.


I also liked the part about Warren Buffet funding 350.org and the call for divestment from fossil fuels on the one hand; and cleaning up by buying up through his railroad division on the other.

"A subway ad asks, 'What puts hipsters and bankers in the same boat?' with the word 'boat' crossed out and replaced by 'march.' A photo of this ad appeared on the Facebook page of Occupy Wall Street, which hailed it. That tells you something about OWS, but for working people an appeal for unity with bankers means hold on to your wallet."

I agree.

Anyway, we mobilized for the Climate March up here in Commie Club NH. We sent our high school kids (at the last minute Mr. and Mrs. Comrade decided they were too far in debt from travelling to Seattle for the National Convention to make a trip to New York) and dutifully promoted the round table between Bomber Bernie, Comrade Kshama, Naomi "Still Gets Doodlebug Hawt and Bothered" Klein, Chris Hedges, etc. When I saw the ultraleft article on the website I read it and had a sinking feeling in my stomach. When I showed it to Mr. and Mrs. Comrade, Mr. Comrade said "Man, we're a bunch of suckers." "Looks like it," I replied.

When we went to the Regional Branch meeting in Boston, there were all kindsa new comrades (mostly college students) who had went. They were all pretty excited, as it was clearly the biggest march any of them had ever been to, but there was also a sentiment expressed, over and over, that the march hadn't really done anything.

By design?

Anyway, I linked the ultralefts' sources for more fun and sinking feelings:

I have no idea who Ms. Morningstar is, but I have read many articles over the past couple of years by Arun Gupta. I think he is/was an editor of In These Times. Anyway, he wrote some pretty good articles about the Fast Food Workers movement for them.
