Not necessarily relating to union organising, but, I wrote this article to contain my thoughts after some reading around the local news landscape of my home county.

Hope it proves useful to someone!

"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

So many of these Blue Wave folks harp on about the sanctity of their rag of a constitution, and regularly just ignore the second amendment. Like its quite often the most relevant part of it!! It was written so you folks could do something about shit just like this!!

I saw this post and I am losing my mind (and patience) a bit with it:

Quite frankly, its embarrassing.

You've got The State well and truly mask-off, straight up disappearing people from their homes and locking them away in concentration camps all whilst the police stand strong in line with this, indiscriminately murdering anyone who steps out of line, and you're bragging about obeying the law? What the hell is wrong with you?

If The State is the stick to beat you into submission, then these "blue wave" freaks are the carrot attempting to convince you that submission is the ideal, swear to god.

coming over to here from bluesky to vaguepost about people over there lmao. there are so many people that call themselves "liberal" who are using as a synonym for "nice person" or "progressive".

"liberal", at least in a political sphere, refers to a specific ideological framework of "free markets", "right to private property", and "liberty" - which is a deliberately pretty vague concept. note that these are all principals that both major parties in the US political projects all venerate (in their own way to the people they deem rightfully deserving).

modern political projects tend to move away from the "small state, free market" approach, to a strong state which attempts to bring about market forces within more and more aspects of society. this is generally referred to as "neo-liberalism", and is the governing ideology of most western countries.

looking at US political parties again, and a great example of neo-liberal and liberal ideologies in practice, you might ask "well why do they disagree?" and the answer is pretty straightforward: on a lot of key issues, they don't disagree, and in fact reinforce one another on issues such as immigration (note that more people were deported per year under the biden and obama administrations than the first trump administration), foreign policy (see palestine vs israel, invasion of afghanistan, interference in political projects across the globe), economic policy (where both parties agree in broad strokes that private property and the "guiding hand of the free market" are gospel), and "security". largely they disagree on the minutiae. and where the democrats have pushed for a more "progressive" social policy, they have rolled these back quite rapidly on any criticism from their sister party.

similarly, looking at european politics, the EU has been constructed on the principal of neo-liberal marketization, pushing austerity and privatization policies on all its member states. and even states outside of the EU such as the UK and russia are largely governed by the primacy of private property and privatization.

all of this to say.. its all liberalism.. all the way down.. and its an ideological framework that, at least personally, i do not want to be near at all. privatisation and marketisation are two of the main reasons everything is getting increasingly worse for the working class, and to a lesser extend the petit-bourgeoisie. liberalism, and its children are actively harmful to the working class, be they minoritized, oppressed, or otherwise "othered".

i know some people who have called themselves "liberal" in the political sense, despite the fact they are anti-free-market, and incredibly anti-private-property. maybe its time to consider dropping that label and its associated political project(s).

this was very much an "on the fly" rant. there are probably points i could have made a lot clearer, but i largely just wanted to get this all out of my head because i saw someone i respect on bluesky dot com posting about how liberalism is really cool actually. despite being completely mistaken on what it was, that could have been resolved with a very very quick google search.

anyway fart fart, enjoy your day. join a union or a mutual aid organisation if you haven't already. and if there are none, gather some friends and start one up. it's probably way past the right time to do so...
