The Resistance

It’s full of good people who have no clue what they are up against.

The students, the unions, the homeless, the disabled, the activist, the environmentalist, the artists and other special interest groups are motivated as their name suggests in their own particular specialness.

This is result of a system in it’s late stage which ensures the consumer will not only consume but more to the point will be immersed in a exchange value equation that does not include the best interest of the many.

To give and expect nothing in return is anti-capitalism. 

Individually we are all in the way of the collective and the collective gets near zero air play while our specialness our differences are overplayed to the place of incessant.

By seeing our self as this way we see the others as different and thus can be violent. The premise being it is harder to be violent to those you know than those you don’t

ie to kill a stranger on a computer screen is different than killing a family member in person  

as otto rank explains in his book on the subject.

That any of the revolution could possibly take place on face book with all it’s gimmicks and tricks leaves one with a feeling of emptiness. Surely the user can see the childishness of plat-formed communications.

That my friends is 100% corporate space…they are taking your social lives and making money and you consent because in your linear world you think it is free.

in the old days they said and knew there were no free lunches…

my my my the dream marches on and they say the planet is burning and the redistribution of resources is being accumulated in the hands of the few.

the 61 richest have more wealth than the bottom 17,000,000 Canadians…this is what i heard and still want to believe is untrue…

This system has become a labyrinth as the court case today was put on hold because the defendant Mat the Hat couldn’t find the court room.

I saw him and he looked tired. He’s been arrested 4 times in the last month and sleeping outside.

His next court appearance is in December.

When i was in my late teen i would drive around my hometown imagining places i could have sex with my first girlfriend and then it would come true.

Like i said she was my first girlfriend.

occupy the world

corporations want to safeguard against risk desperately.

There has been some movement.

I yell and scream in a Richmond bar

we’re closing down the ports and i’m asked to leave by three very busty women.

I do not remember walking home though the next day

when i am putting up flyers and doing a re-con of the bridge I am tired.

I cannot get in touch with the direct action committee and have heard little information.

As usual Vancouver is out of touch.

At best maybe a few hundred will rally at the park

in solidarity with oakland and other long shoremen…

the unions are under siege and i have heard the bulk of goods

will be moving through Mexico where labor is unorganized

The lovely people’s communist library

will be the name of a new bookstore on the DTES.

The unions are under siege and

yet they do not want us calling for a shut down…

this is an indication of how far down the road we are…

there is too much money and the bourgeoisie puts up blocks

easier than can be with committee meetings ad nauseum

where nothing happens as if that was part of the plan

they call themselves NGO’s and other types of culturally controlling behavior so rest assured more people will have to be poor and not influenced most heavily by this posturing where knowledge is all second hand when it comes to human nature…and with a very long self interest lever.

do we need to continuously be in oppressive hierarchies…

and why is their such extremes in wealth…

even in death power is passed on…

it becomes you

The Rio

Worked the door with a good fellow from Montreal.

Set up the Occupy Vancouver Library and then went outside to have a smoke. The Wilderness group came in and said they wanted the table so i said fine cause they were putting the gig on and moved and mo slept some where and bill came with the tale and we got a good spot

then renee came moved not realizing that the best place to be is at the exit where people talk…the entrance is a mixed bag…exit through the gift shop.

Met a lady who knew Che’s child.

As the story goes

che was in the battle field and a he asked a soldier where his gun was

the soldier replied it was confiscated because he had mishandled it

Che said go to the frontlines and get a gun

a few days later che was in hospital viewing the wounded when he saw the soldier…the coldier said commandeer…

i went to the front lines…

a few hours later the soldier che wote

died happy he had found his courage

who said revolution or die

 

that is another story

 

Last night i think they talked about it being bad in northern alberta for the indians

and green peace said the enviroment is doing poorly which is his business

and naomi klein said she was happy the piple line didn’t get through

and a 10 year old girl sang at the end and i told her not to smoke

and her dad said i should quit to…everyone in the audience except the occupiers looked well rested and content…saving the world is an upper middle class endeavour which is problematic for obvious reasons…

when a white man speaks on behalf of ideas we are all embarrassed.    

overall nothing was accomplished but everyone left not totally satisfied

the agency in egypt was 20,000,000 people between the ages of 19-28.

last night were over fifty

a grey haired revolution…

good!
