ILWU voted against a boycott of Israeli military equipment, so fuck them as well

You've done a great job being a voice of reason here. Not bowing because others are afraid that critique could lead to doomerism.

I think her complaint then is irrelevant to anarchism vs communism. It was not the existence of a state that led to Russification, it was chauvinism and absolute assumptions about what development looks like. Anarchists can make the exact same mistakes. Greater autonomy could help, but that autonomy would only be able to stem the pressure if the Kazakh polity has power and is organized well.

No matter what one thinks of Russification, it is just not an issue that can be chalked up to statism

Such a European party name. The Euros never understood the effectiveness of names with a bunch of qualifiers and then country name.

I just like the idea that it is like split custody. Mon-Thursday they get to be an independent broadcast, government supplies stories the rest of the week. Except for holidays

We have weirdly returned to the days of the Civil War. Like compare the Civil War to WW1 in terms of high ranking officer deaths and it is crazy. Drones and missiles have taken command closer to the action again

Please be named the ABP "Absolute Boy Party"

They are currently jacking off the burned harddrives in an attempt to extract them

Yeah just because you can endure those losses organizationally, does not mean you should have to.

How do you become a "semi"-official news agency?

 

If I could sing a song for every bomb that flies

I'd sing each and all the days

If there were to be a verse for every dying child's cries

For every helpless father's gaze

If I wrote a love letter to each corpse as it is carried

I'd never still my pen

If I had to stop a moment for each one that's been buried

I'd never move again

And the stocks are going up in some safe place in America

Sing a song for Basra

If I could shed a tear for every home that bombs destroy

I'd never stop crying

If every broken brick were a heart of a little girl or boy

All the world's children would be sighing

If I could hold each shattered body, each baby stilled at birth

I'd have no time for loneliness

I'd spend all my time embracing the people of this savaged earth

Feeling the poisoned wind's caress

And the billionaires are laughing in some safe place in America

Sing a song for Basra

If each barren pharmacy were a woman's shining eyes

I'd fall in love forever

If every bombed-out kindergarten were a factory in disguise

Wouldn't that be clever

But bricks are only bricks, and dust is only dust

And death is all around

Each day another missile falls and sometimes the only thing to trust

Is the shaking of the ground

And they're loading up the warplanes in some safe place in America

Sing a song for Basra
