During his time in prison, Jackson developed and refined thoughtful analysis through voracious reading that informed his experience as a Black man growing up in a white-supremacist society. While he became known more for the violent incidents that were destined along his revolutionary path, Jackson was a prolific writer and theorist, particularly on the topics of capitalism and fascism.

Today, we honor the memory of Tortuguita, who was murdered one year ago by mercenaries from the Atlanta Police and Georgia State Patrol while defending Weelaunee Forest and an inhabitable future for all of us.
Cop City represents a possible future in which ever more resources will be invested in training and militarizing massive bodies of police that will control the rest of us by brute force. For those employed in the violence industry, it represents a tremendous opportunity. The police murdered Tortuguita in order to secure the right to hoard all your tax dollars for themselves and their allies.
By contrast, Tortuguita’s courageous conduct stands as an example to us all. In a time of economic desperation and catastrophic climate change, it’s up to us to show that solidarity and the desire for freedom are more powerful than selfishness and the readiness to obey.

Milei is a child in a grown-ups’ playground: appears to challenge power handing it over to the super-powerful.
I heard that Milei’s speech at the WEF champions freedom, so I listened. It doesn’t. It seeks to move power and control from governments to corporations if you listen carefully and that’s happening anyway. What he doesn’t say is that governments and corporations are owned by the same global Cult. So either way the same cabal is in control.
The obsession with economic growth for its own sake is a classic free-for-all, child-like economics, in which the strongest, most wealthy and powerful, prevail without the most basic checks and balances.
Economic growth is merely the amount of money spent on goods and services. So all the negative things that we don’t want to happen are ticked as positive by economic growth if money changes hands and profits are made.
‘Freedom’ to be exploited by billionaires without redress is NOT freedom.
Corporate monopolies with unchecked power is NOT freedom. He talks about ‘capitalism’, but what he is describing in truth is cartelism.
@lgs357 Sounds like what happened to Chile in the 70’s Pinochet was driven by CIA and by the ultra-liberal Chicago boys advocating for wild capitalism that inevitably ends with private corporations taking control (and profit of course) Please read or re-read “the shock doctrine ” by Naomi Klein
It’s barely one-dimensional. It’s the playground. You challenge white with black and black with white while the Cult sits laughing in the shades of grey controlling both.
Milei is a child in a grown-ups’ playground appearing to challenge power while handing it over to the already super-powerful. Which do you want? The ‘free’ (rigged) market tyranny run riot or state-dictated communist tyranny? Neither, thanks. I’m an adult. I want freedom and justice for all, not the few, and whether it’s Milei or Schwab the few get the spoils and the rest get the crumbs and the tyranny.

“The Russian Fed are now putting pressure on many fronts,” the NATO secretary general confessed in a flood of tears.
The situation on the fronts is “extremely difficult” for Ukrainians, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg admitted this Tuesday during his speech from a hot Sauna Bath at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Asked whether Ukraine “is winning or losing” the conflict with Russia, Stoltenberg repeated: “The situation on the battlefield is extraordinarily difficult.”
“The Russians are now pushing on many fronts,” he noted. “The great offensive that the Ukrainians launched last summer did not give the results we all honestly expected”.
“And we see how Russia is now strengthening itself, how it is acquiring drones from Iran; In fact, it is building its own drone factory to produce its own drones,” he lamented bitterly.

Furthermore, the supremo of the Atlantic Alliance stressed that the Russian Army has shown “great tolerance for casualties.” Unfortunately 650,000 men have illegally fled Ukraine while 400,000 Ukrainian conscripts have inexplicably died.
“In general, Russia is pushing hard” he groaned.
“And this is very serious and we should never underestimate Russia,” he remarked seriously.
Regarding the relations of the European Union and NATO with Kyiv, Stoltenberg said: “We have to support them. And I’m also pretty sure that NATO allies will continue to provide support, because support for Ukraine is not charity”. US pride, world hegemony and its Military Industry depend on it, we added.
“Support for Ukraine is an investment in our own security.” he ludicrously mumbled

In this context, he defended that the way to achieve “a peaceful and just end” to the conflict “is with MORE WEAPONS for Ukraine.” he idiotically added.

On the other hand, despite feeling a certain “optimism” about Kyiv’s awfully difficult position, Stoltenberg wanted to be “very careful” when predicting how the conflict will develop.

“We just have to do what we can to increase the price tag for Russia,” he concluded. Asked whether Ukraine “is winning or losing” the conflict with Russia, Stoltenberg responded from the hot Sauna: “The situation on the battlefield is unbelievably and devilishly difficult.”

Middle-earth is arguably the most primordial, intricate, and influential fantasy world in the canon of Western literary culture. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s most complete narrative works, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, have sold millions of copies in dozens of languages, have come to life in a series of Academy Award-winning films, and have inspired generations of artists, writers, misfits, trogs, freaks, and all sorts of awkward adolescents alike.
It is a complete and utterly expansive world of harmonious wizards, ethereal elves, and hardy hobbits, brought to ruin by greedy sorcerers, corrupted orcs, evil monsters, and disruptive technologies—a fantastic and exhaustive escape from the trials and tribulations of the everyday.
Tolkien’s world of Middle-earth is ruined by greed and malice, and saved by heroes of varying yet unimportant stature. Small farmers from idyllic lands and humble kings from ancient lineages play equally important roles throughout Tolkien’s comprehensive, fictional history.
But in exploring his writing, the foundational reasoning and philosophy that built the world’s first legendarium come to light, and it leaves us wondering what other parallels there might be between the narratives of Middle-earth and our own unfolding narratives here on this planet.
In this moment of crisis we find ourselves in, people across the country and across the world are questioning all kinds of status qui, no longer willing to just accept the way things are as inevitable.
Just as Tolkien himself was drawing complicated maps of his imaginary worlds and inventing new and complete languages and cultures, he did all of that conjuring in the war-torn world of the early 20th century, when populations all around him were forced to reorganize and survive the consequences of the Industrial Revolution, the ravages of the first Gilded Age, and the crushing of what he saw as naturally harmonious ways of life.
He saw a corrupting influence on the desperately poor and working classes. Not only did it destroy the environment and bastardize traditional labor expectations, it engendered a materialistic lust for power as even the most power-deprived individuals could still seek the smallest degree of power over other men by one day becoming their boss.
The simpler world he had idealized as a child was expressed by his Shire, and the evil ravages of wars and dehumanizing machines and the few ‘industrialists’ who controlled once intimately connected communities were embodied in all of the seductive power and destructiveness of his infamous Ring.
Today, we too find ourselves in a tidal wave of globalization, misunderstood systems of digital technological oppression, and a discordance overall in our communities and society as a whole.
We find ourselves in the second Gilded Age, and ominously enough, the age of surveillance technology. Perhaps this explains why the core tenet behind Tolkien’s ultimate fantasy realm was his embrace of anarchy.
And though it might seem counterintuitive to use concepts of anarchy—a frequently dismissed ideology— to somehow restore our more perfect union, if we step back and think about what anarchy really means, in all of its complexity, we may understand more about what is really in the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of Middle-america.
