Troops of Labor
The capitalist have there armies Industrial, Agruculture, and commercial.They use the workers in these armies to further the compition against each other.The workers are the troops that rely on the bourigose, in other words we establish the troops and generals. The troops rely on the generals because the are the ones that give otu orders to the troops. Without this power the generals can not controlls the troops. The troops also relying on the generals to give them payment of the duty they served this makes them expendable so the troops fear questioning the generals orders because they rely on them for payment so the troops of labor do not ask question because in terror of recieveing no payment.
The compitition is there to challenge the generals' armies against each other. The generals fear this compition because if they were to lose they would lose there power and the troops would move on to another general, because the troops of these labor armies seek the need of security of another general to ensure there existance.This type of feudelism is seen in empires of the...

Helpful Hints To The Us Government
I remember the morning of September 11th quite vividly. My alarm went off as usual, about forty minutes before I planned to get out of bed, at about quarter after seven. There was definitely some confusion as to what I was hearing on the radio, which was strikingly different than the rock and roll or endless commercials that I was accustomed to. Even in my dazed state I had a sense that this was probably something to get out of bed early for.
Something to get out of bed early for indeed. I switched on the television to “The Most Trusted Name in News”, (CNN apparently, which I must confess I have watched ever since) to discover a world event unfolding which, at that point in my naivety, was the most vile and wicked act upon humankind I had witnessed in my life. Somehow I felt as if I was there, that these camel jockey towelheads had personally accosted me. As I stated before, I was unquestionably naïve.
Several months later while I was delivering papers with my friend who shares my first name, I saw huge plumes of smoke rising off the water with planes...

New Book
I am a poet who just recently published a book "Guarana Poet: The Taste of Truth" that can be purchased at www.guaranapoet.com. One of my poems is dedicated to Che and I would love for you to post it on your site.
Che on the Red Line
Newspapers covering faces
Eyes closed and mouths open with drool forming at the corners
Quick glances trying to go unnoticed
Walkmans drowning out the roar of the train that serves as a melody putting the rest of us into our daily trance
A Mexican woman in her 40s sits across from me

Anarchism
The word anarchism today is widely used as a synonym to chaos, a state of disorder, which is totally wrong. Using a word that describes a political theory as a synonym to chaos and disorder is not a new thing: up until the end of the 19th century, the word democracy was used in the west to describe chaos. Anarchism is a political theory that favors the abolishment of any form of government. Anarchism extends beyond politics too; many anarchists do not accept any form of hierarchical method of control, such as the army. From an extreme anarchist’s point of view, even religion (god) is considered to be a form of control and as a result, many choose to be atheists.
So what is anarchy? Anarchy is a political theory that favors the creation of anarchy: the absence of a master, of a controlling source. Anarchy is not simply a form of opposition against government but a theory that tries to advocate more co-operative, non-hierarchical forms of social, political and even economical organization. As follows, anarchists oppose to capitalism, democracy and any other theory that...

The Welfare State: A Critique
The Welfare State, surely the most monumental achievement of the British working people. A blow to the heart of capital, to the greedy moneybags who would abolish all taxes. The institution which would care for the working people of Britain from “cradle to grave”. Proof that parliament too can take progressive steps toward socialism and at the same time strike out at capital. There is no doubt that much of this is true. The Welfare State has been a boon for the working people of Britain (notwithstanding the whining of a few conservatives about “spongers”). However, I would not argue that the Welfare State is detrimental to capital; instead I would argue the exact opposite.
Before I launch into my analysis of the Welfare State it is necessary to say a little about how it developed in Britain and how it has progressed since, in its “self movement”, it is also necessary so as to see whether or not the Welfare State was a result of “parliamentary socialism”. So firstly, the context. Britain had just come out of World War Two, losing untold millions of men. Social unrest at...

Economic Growth: sustainability and merit.
Economic growth is seen as the measure of an economy. The increase of goods and services that a country can outlay is referred to as economic growth. Under the economic management of the Howard government, Costello has been able to claim positive outcome to policies with economic growth at 3.6% over 2003-4. On the other side of our diverse mainstream political/economical spectrum the labor party, claims credit for the spout of economic growth because of the Hawke-Keating period. Micro-economic reform in the shape of deregulation is to have made the Australian economy more competitive and efficient. Seeing the objective of economic growth is political brownie points, all governments will strive for its attainment but the questions remains is its attainment sustainable? What is the all round merit of economic growth?
Before the great depression the focus of economies to achieve increased growth was placed on supply side economics, on ‘the invisible hand of competition’. But with Destructive speculation depression hit the world in 1929 and Australia wasn’t spared. At first...

FTAA
South America for South Americans
By Philip J. Velez
In 1524, Francisco Pizarro landed on the coast of South America. Under the guise of hospitality, he undermined and subjugated the great Incan civilization. By 1532, the conquest of the Incas was completed and South America has never been the same since. The time of the great Incan and Mayan civilizations of South America was finished, and an era of European imperialism commenced. Now the Age of Imperialism has ended, and the free people of South America live through poverty, hunger, and the oppression of unfair, capitalist regimes. These regimes are now faced with another difficult business decision; this time with the countries of North America, completing a hemisphere of free trade. The Free Trade of the Americas agreement will encompass an immense market of around 800 million people. To enter such a large trade agreement with the economic powerhouses of North America will create various problems of jurisdiction, human rights, and augmented poverty among the lower class. Economically, the FTAA will make...

stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal
The October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation fully supports the fight to stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Mumia is a former Black Panther who has remained a revolutionary since the 60's. He is also an award winning journalist who uses his skills to give voice to those this society wants to make voiceless and powerless. Mumia has been on death row in Pennsylvania since 1982 when he was framed on charges of killing a cop. <IMG src= "http://October22.ORG/media/natmumiastmtface.jpg" width="173" height="196" align="RIGHT" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="10" alt="Photo: Mumia Abu-Jamal"> During his trial, Mumia was denied the right to choose his attorney, testimony against him was gotten through bribery and intimidation and witnesses who said he was innocent were either hidden from the defense or intimidated from showing up in court! Judge Sabo, who presided over this kangaroo court, demonstrated his pro cop bias (he's a life...

On Authoritarian Socialism and Counter-Revolution
On Authoritarian Socialism and Counter-Revolution
By Noah Butsch Baron
Marxism and Marxist-Leninism are both forms of Authoritarian Socialism. Why? Marx advocated a “dictatorship of the proletariat” because, he argued, unless the proletariat held power through a dictatorship, the capitalists will regain power. Thus, once the revolution has been completed a dictator should be appointed to run the country in order to prevent this.
Leninism advocates a vanguard to lead the people. This implies a lack of belief in the people themselves and their ability to free themselves from the web of capitalism. While this vanguard may have helped the Russian Bolsheviks win their revolution, the power vacuum left by the bourgeoisie and capitalists was quickly (and eagerly) filled by members of the Bolshevik party.
In the beginning life was good: the workers maintained control of their factories, allowing them to improve their living standards significantly, and the peasants were able to keep the land that they had worked on all their life, but never owned. Until Lenin decided...

Oblivious
Your gates lock out reality,
dont want to corrupt your morality.
A newer car is your aspiration,
and credit is your salvation.
Sunday Times delivered to your door,
rather be dead in hell than be poor.
Need a new suit, has to be Gucci,
whilst i have but rags to cloth me.
A 40 hour week justifies your pay
yet billions work 70, to make their way.
