...why was communism such a scare?... why did so many in america... among the working class gravitate towards it...?... why were julius and ethel rosenberg killed?... why is having universal employment... (putting evryone to work)... universal education... universal housing... and universal healthcare a bsd thing?...
...these days communism/socialism is a past... a part of a history... it is still a bad thing in the minds of many... and those who come from this tradtion... who may be the sons and daughters of revilution recongize it as a failed experiment... an attempt... but why?...
...we are addicted... we love the casino... the gamble... rolling the dice and seeing what could possibly show up... it's what jay z refers to as the allure - "i got a thing for those big-body benzes... it dulls my senses... in the love with vw engines..."... stuff... our addiction to stuff and rewards and prizes... rolling the wheel of fortune and seeing what comes up and once we get it... on to the next... over with it... no longer interested... it was the roll of the dice that made it interesting... we see this in human relationships... in intimacy...
...two years after the bolshevik revolution... in november 1919... the feds back by the barron class... invaded 7 cities... these 7 cities had a critical mass of growing communist movements... thousands were arrested... offices raided and shut down... thousands deported...
...eugene debbs gave a speech during this time on the robber baron class... how they were bleeding the workign person dry and making away like the bandits they were... he was jailed shortly after... he went on to be the leader of the scialist party... the communist party also formed around this time... even with the raids both grew...
...many who look at police brutality, pipelines... sweatshops as simply an issue of race... replicate... regurgitate the baron blass line... it is why people like biden and harris could be presidents... they are not affecting what is at the abric of the barons... which capital... which is profit... which is protectingthis by any means neccessary... and the reason most of us stand by is becasue we are players in this game...we love it... there isn't a 1% vs 99%... there is a 99% vs a 1%... 1% is calling for meaningful accountable relations in the forms of coops... cooperatizing our living spaces... our closets... our work... so that instead of having a single celbrity figure running the show... we are part of a community... everyone wants tobe a donahe and oprah... an ellen and future...
...Work.... even if it is unpopular... walk the Way of the ancients... of the Way... from within... Be community... move in cooperation... doing without ego... doing with yoga... yuj,,, union... in the name of ALLAH...
