Capitalism is a harmless and rational system. The authority figures who keep this system running deserve our support and recognition!

Happy April Fools!

Absolutely disgusting. Organize and fire your boss before they leave you to die.

Bozos is a garbage human.

On this day, 7 November 1949, revolutionary carpenter, postal worker and environmental activist martyr Judi Bari was born.
A member of both the radical Industrial Workers of the World union and eco-direct action group Earth First! she was key in building links between activists protecting ancient redwood trees and logging workers whose livelihoods were under threat from unsustainable logging.
After receiving death threats and being rammed by a logging truck, she was blown up by a car bomb. The FBI then tried to claim she had bombed herself.
The attack left her disabled and in constant pain until her early death from cancer a few years later, although she continued the struggle until her final days.

RIP Fellow Worker

On this day, 20 October 1926, US socialist and labour leader Eugene V. Debs died in Elmhurst, Illinois, aged 70.
Earlier, he helped found both the American Railway Union and the Industrial Workers of the World, and was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in 1918 for his opposition to World War I. At his sentencing, he addressed the court:
“Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”
While in prison he ran for president, and received nearly 1,000,000 votes.
