I know, not binding Marx in linen is gotta be some sort of sin but it’s a bit expensive and I’m expecting the first attempt to fail, so its just paper and carton. The paper grain isnt even going head to tail because its nigh impossible to source printer paper with the correct grain direction. Next book I’m gonna try with proper paper and depending on how this turns out make my own buckram.

I’m gonna let it sit for a while let her stew on it on her own. I’m not doing a good job explaining when put on the spot soooo… also I’m making a book for her with marx and engels and shit and hoping that it will win her over

me trying to explain how capitalism cannot succeed to my wife in bed at 10:30pm because she finally asked about something related

so like if the workers dont get enough wages they cant buy the stuff they make and then who are the capitalists gonna sell it to right

why they gotta sell it to their own workers why cant they sell it to someone else

Because its like a whole class thing my love so there is the class that owns the means of productions (bad, boo) and the workers (good, yay) and the capitalists gotta pay the wages of everyone right but profits mean the wealth gets distributed up always so they cant keep raising wages indefinitely and then if there isnt enough money at the bottom then no one can buy the stuff and the whole system crashes and everyone dies or revolts.

We still gotta clean the kitchen

So now I’m doing dishes and hoping I made progress with the deprogramming

Thats where I remember reading it but its been a while and I never got to finish the book unfortunately.

Out of the debris of this chaotic dispute we can pick out the central facts. First, that there was no democratic political program or movement whatsoever. Bacon’s Rebellion was a popular movement, representing a clear majority of the settlers, to resolve serious economic and social problems by stepping up the exploitaton of oppressed peoples. Far from being “democratic”, it was more nearly fascistic. Bacon was the diseased mind of the most reactionary faction of the planters, and in his ambitious schemes the fact that a few more freemen or ex-slaves had paper voting rights meant little. Far from fighting to abolish slavery, the Rebellion actually hoped to add to the number of slaves by Indian conquest.

And, finally, there was no “Black and White unity” at all. Needing fighting bodies, Bacon at the very end offered a deal to his opponents’ slaves. He paid in the only coin that was meaningful — a promise of freedom for them if he won. Those Afrikans who signed up in his army didn’t love him, trust him, view him as their leader, or anything of the kind. They were tactically exploiting a contradiction in the oppressor ranks, maneuvering for their freedom. It is interesting to note that those Indians who did give themselves up to unity with the oppressors, becoming the settlers’ lackeys and allies, were not protected by it, but were destroyed.

Thats from Chapter 2 of Settlers.

It’s been a while since properly reading it but I think I remember it was fascist vs liberal infighting and at no point about proletarian solidarity.

Wasnt Bacons rebellion about not genociding native americans fast enough? Or is that a different one?

Ah yes the holy and sacred temple of the supermarket. Under no circumstance can there be protest here, especially not protesting mass murder and incarceration, because it might hurt the feefees of the most important and precious class: The Consumer.

A third asked: “So they are allowed to cause a disruption about something that affects his livelihood, but he isn’t allowed to retaliate?”

What about disrupting the lambs life? These people just want eat children without thinking, good for her for speaking out.
