Be proud to be a "union thug". Without labor unions, there would be no weekends, minimum wage, paid vacation, 8 hour workdays, social security, pensions, child labor laws, sick leave, overtime pay, work breaks, maternity leave, and more of the labor rights people now take for granted.

Capitalism is not sustainable. As the material conditions of the world change, so must the society that lives within those material conditions. Eventually socialism or barbarism will be the only choice left.

Sputnik 1 (Простейший Спутник-1) was the first artificial satellite, built by design bureau OKB-1. The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957, orbiting for three weeks before its batteries died, then silently for two more months before falling back into the atmosphere on 4 January 1958.
Edward Jenner didn't spend years of his life developing the first vaccine just so you could ignore it and bring back long-gone plagues because you care more about hippie new-age nonsense than your own child.

Reading theory is important for doing understanding why we organize the way we do. Understanding the dialectic will better your understanding of effective praxis.
No war in Iran, no war in Venezuela, no war in North Korea, no war in Afghanistan, no war in Russia, no war in China, no war in Cuba, no war in Bolivia, no war in Syria, no war in Somalia. No war but class war. Keep imperialist hands off the world.
Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun. Now it's ten years later, but he still keeps up the fight. In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine, and Berkeley

Repeal the National Firearms Act. The most common injury by guns is permanent hearing damage to the user and those around, while the Hearing Protection Act is a good start, it doesn't go far enough to protect gun owners.
No matter your sexuality or gender, you should always feel safe. Having to defend yourself and your community from hate crimes is an unfortunate reality of being a member of the LGBTQ community. The first pride, Stonewall, was a riot. Freedom is never given, it must be taken.

End the illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Colonialism never ended, and the occupation of Palestine is an obvious example. Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel now. Free Gaza. Free Palestine.

All labor is skilled labor. All labor deserves a living wage. Labor produces all value, capital is nothing but dead labor value. Join a union, you have nothing to lose but your chains.
"The people's flag is deepest red
It shrouded oft our martyred dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
Their hearts' blood dyed in every fold
Then raise the scarlet standard high
Beneath its folds we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here"
- The Red Flag, Jim Connell, 1889
