Extinction Rebellion should be taken off since they’re purposefully getting people arrested by cops
I’d like to add The Green Anticapitalist Front as an alternative bc yeah I can’t in good conscience advise anyone to join XR, made this list a while ago
As for the Republicans – how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical ‘American heritage’…) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.
On this day, 22 August 1893, Dorothy Parker, American poet, writer, activist, two-time Academy Award nominee and victim of Hollywood blacklisting, was born. She became radicalised in 1927 with the executions of Italian anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, in support of whom she was demonstrating when she was first arrested. She later helped found the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League, and helped rescue Spanish civil war veterans, children and orphans after Franco’s victory. For these sort of appalling subversive crimes, she was blacklisted from working in Hollywood. This is a short history of the Hollywood blacklist: https://libcom.org/history/hollywood-blacklist-dan-georgakashttps://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1508139556037856/?type=3
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
