Timothy Platt Defending Marx

by ~The-Liberator (Alex Garrett)

 

Generalizing History

Capitalists often criticize and attempt to discredit Marx based on the fact that he generalized about history. They argue that since he made generalizations, nothing he said should be taken seriously. But what philosopher doesn’t generalize? When looking at history as a whole, one must make generalizations to make sense of…

Timothy Platt Learning from the generation of ‘68

by ~The-Liberator (Alex Garrett)

Let’s not kid ourselves. The U.S. Government did not end the Vietnam war. The war didn’t end because the people elected the “right” candidates or signed petitions or wrote letters to their representatives. The war in Vietnam ended because the generation of ‘68 threw off their reformist misconceptions and took to the streets. Upon challenging the government and the ruling class…

Timothy Platt What is imperialism?

Imperialism is an economic system into which we are born where the ruling class uses its military and economic power to force its influence upon other countries for profit. Imperialism only leads to death, destruction, and endless war. Because it is a direct result of the capitalist mode of production, no “saviors” from above can “fix” this economic system, as it is not a “policy.” The rich ruling class, which finances all of the politicians, will never eliminate imperialism and the…

Timothy Platt Why the Left is paralyzed

by ~The-Liberator (Alex Garrett)

The Left is paralyzed for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that nearly all anti-war organizations are still tied in some way to the Democrats and their “progressive” wing, or similar “progressive” but imperialist parties, like the Green Party. At anti-war rallies, groups will often invite politicians as speakers, and they will promote the same old reformist…

Timothy Platt Why NO Revolutionary Votes Democrat (How to End the War)

by ~The-Liberator (Alex Garrett)

With the imperialist war in Iraq and a failed health care system, it sure is tempting to buy into the Democratic Party’s empty promises and outright lies. In a time when the nation has dug itself into a hole it is now extremely difficult to get out of, it is tempting to support anyone who promotes any kind of change. But NO ONE who wants real social change, NO ONE who is a…

Patrick Maloney 'Tis the season to do my post consumer capitalist holiday shopping.

Several years ago I quit one of my favorite and lucrative hobbies.  I was trying to fight the greed of capitalism and the over consumption of Capitalist consumers by dumpster diving.  As it turns out I was fairly adept at getting in and out of those large green or blue bins.

Anyway, tonight is going to mark my return to the practice in a brand new town.  I have never dived this town so it will be a learning experience here but, once you have the lay of the land and know the stores it…

Timothy Platt Socialism vs Capitalism

by ~incubusroxmypanties

“The debate over which politico-economic system is the best, capitalism or socialism, has been going on for many years” (Darren).

Today we see capitalism a lot more than socialism. Most Americans believe capitalism is the way to go, it will bring our economy to flourish, and people who work hard will succeed. However, most socialist countries have…

Timothy Platt A Christmas Message

Lets take a moment out of our busy holiday schedules to inject the reason for the season into recent political activities:

As a rejection against America's longstanding socialist principles, the Tea Party Neo-Cons and older hardcore Christian conservatives have argued against social safety-nets, and in favor of pulling “yourself up by your bootstrap.” To them handouts are anti-Christian: We hear “Jesus was not a socialist.” We hear “God helps him who helps himself” (The thief's…

Just under a week ago I was looking around the internet for information on Blogsites.  I was also looking for socialist websites.  You can not believe how relieved I was to find that there was a site that was both.  I have wanted to discuss the various aspects of socialism with like minded people.  I have wanted to help move the theory from theory to practice and I have spent many years "preaching" the benefits of socialism...  The problem is simply that preaching alienates many people who…

Timothy Platt Rise Up

This is another poem written by the pen name SocialistFreedom

 

For too long have the peoples of this country, Sat idly by as the 1% took as they please.

It is now in this year, That the 99% stand up and take hold, Of what is rightfully theirs.

What has started in just a few cities and towns, Will soon engulf the entire country.

Wake now, the sleeping mass. These revolutionaries are leading the way.

Rise up and raise those fists. Rise up and grab…

Timothy Platt Socialism at Last

This poem was written by someone using the pen name SocialistFreedom

 

You awake to find your house over your head.

You open the paper to find that the country is recovering.

Your children wave as they get on the bus, Going off to school that values their opinion, Giving them the chance to find themselves.

You drive off to work, Where you're valued for your work, Where everyone does their part, Not for self gain, But for the good of all.

Everyone, No…

Charles Winstead Big Brother Watch: Team claims $50,000 for decoding shredded messages

A week ago, I added a desktop app provided by Norton, the folks whose software allegedly protects me and my computer from spyware and virus and hacks ("Oh my!" echos the voice of Judy Garland).  The app, Cybercrime Index, displays a global risk level number plus an RSS feed of security related trends and news items.  So far, I've encountered no problems running it, and it has alerted me to a few eyeopeners,…

Charles Winstead The Sky Has Always Been Falling, Part One: Baby Boom

Author's Note:  What follows is part fact and part fictionalized fact, all based on either the best recollection of my personal memories, dreams, and reflections; fictionalized dialogue and story representing a composite of hearsay--primarily oral narratives told to me by persons alleging to have witnessed or experienced these squares within the quilt of what I have attempted to present as a…

Mark Holder DSA, SPUSA, American Socialist Party??? WHICH ONE??

 

 I'll admit that I'm fairly new to the concept of Socialism. I have been reading tons of recommended books and I feel I am nearing a firm understanding on the subject. My synthesis is naturally going to be different than others but we do have a common goal... So why all the different Socialist Party's out there? One hears the words "Solidarity" and "Unity" thrown around a lot these days but c'mon!!! Why so many different party's when there is at the least.. ONE common goal…

Timothy Platt THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

words and music by Woody Guthrie

NOTE: Read the last two verses of the song that we, as children, were never taught.

Chorus:

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway

I saw above me an endless skyway

I saw below me a golden valley

This land was made for you and…

Timothy Platt Socialist view on socialism

by ~osirisPUNK



Burn away the green

create a society completely serene

peaceful and clean of corruption

hand to hand

shaking hands

of multicolors

strong on weak

weak on strong

all one equal



no more rich

ending that hunger itch

of the poor

ranks of society exist no more

all are equal

and equal as one

no one is more

no one is…
