Face Off

We'll be there, but...we're leaving if one of you anarcho-, historical society romantics yet again says it's "hard core" to put dynamite in your mouth and blow your face off.

Let's talk about how to work towards building a real workers movement to shake off our chains on May Day.

Yours for Industrial Freedom,
The Saint and Joe Ettor

So if one were to deliver a lecture on the rigging of the system via Gaia's heartbeat, would anyone understand? If I spelled IED, EID would I suddenly have faith in the plan? To blow up my head, to examine my hand, if I only have the blueprint will it matter where I stand?

This isn't a threat, nor a cleaver ruse, but rather a jest to my friendly muse. We hide ourselves well, in anger and shame, to never ask questions, to not play the game. I morph like the thunder, wind, and the rain. Apprenticing magic that water contains.

Mr. Ling used a blasting cap to escape the gallows.
Which seems pretty 'hardcore' to me, I'm not sure how waiting around to die was a better alternative.
If you want to build a worker's movement, accepting that it's the 21st century and that we're dealing with consumer capitalism, as opposed to 19th century industrial capitalism, might not be a bad start.
