Your Friendly Neighborhood Socialist

malheureux-marxist:

you wouldn’t believe what the venezuelan people have to do to get cheap meals made from food grown by worker-owned co-ops, they have to stand in line
the horrors of the bureaucratic nation-state

peakliberal:

The kind of people who have internet in Venezuela aren’t exactly the people who voted for Chavez though.

Honestly, I think it’s a shame that Chavez won, but in part this is because I’m not really convinced that Chavez’s vision is necessarily the right vision for a socialist country (it reeks of strong-man populism rather than offering a genuine alternative to a exploitative capitalist system).

Of course, Capriles wouldn’t have brought this on either, so…

Basically, both of you are capitalists, and you’re undeserving of my presence.

i want kanye west to walk out and yell “mitt romney doesnt care about black people” like he did to bush now that’s something i’d watch

• I’m fine
• Still blogging about theme parks
• Making friends over there
• Dunno when I wanna active here again
• uh
• bullet point
• full communism 

consider this blog to be on a temporary hiatus cause blogging about theme parks and other fandoms is way more therapeutic than getting all worked up in the minutiae of far leftist politics 

so see y’all real soon, I guess

i really love hearing people talk about what they’re passionate about

things like art or science or everything and anything inbetween

hearing someone rant with love and passion is so fantastic

to see their eyes widen and watch their hands move, hear their speech quicken and know their heart is beating faster because every bit of their body just cares so much. 

Like …. okay, I love this shit, I love listening to people talking about what they’re passionate about, if they’re already hot and they’re not passionate about something problematic it just increases their hotness by a million per cent

however

art and science? like

can I just

boojieness alert

Here are some things I like when people are passionate about: anti-capitalism, pop music, revolutionary politics, fem(me) superpowers, Myers-Briggs, fucking kyriarchy shit up, solidarity, BDSM, checking their privileges, sex

sorry i can’t get over this post

ponder for a second the astonishing level of arrogance, anti-intellectualism, and raw disdain for the needs and aspirations of exploited and oppressed people inherent in the act of labeling “art and science” as “bourgeois”. in posing science and revolutionary politics in opposition to each other. in the assumption that the proletariat and other oppressed classes have no interest in or use for art. in positing sexualized sadism (among the most bourgeois things EVER) and the po-mo western academic concept of “kyriarchy” as liberatory negations of bourgeois values.

probably among the worst posts i have ever seen on tumblr and i follow fucking autumn-and-eve
