Days Of Rage
Morning Comrades! A little late today, I know, but this comrade needed a break yesterday. A few words about the coming weeks on here: Wednesday will be the last newsletter I am sending out until the new year. I am not entirely sure when I will restart these, but most likely around the 3rd of January. I will be sending out the prompt for annual Black Lodges Sale on Wednesday for whatever stock I have left with all profits going out to my local homeless shelter. As to writing, I don’t foresee myself getting bored over these next two weeks but just a preemptive disclaimer, if I do, who knows, maybe I’ll squeeze in an email over the holidays.
With that, and this being another damn Monday, here is a new playlist for you - also the last one for the year. For no reason other than being stressed af last week this playlist is also 5 hours long with not a second wasted, it is full of tunes to carry you through these next weeks and almost hits every genre of music I am into. A little darker and ragey than usual but that shouldn’t come as a surprise.
A few words of hope before I get to the rage part of today, there are great news out of Chile with Gabriel Boric, aptly labeled “a leftist millennial" by the US propaganda machine has won the presidential election against another US backed fascist pig ala Bolsonaro.
“We are a generation that emerged in public life demanding our rights be respected as rights and not treated like consumer goods or a business,” Boric said. “We know there continues to be justice for the rich, and justice for the poor, and we no longer will permit that the poor keep paying the price of Chile’s inequality.”
He also gave an extended shout out to Chilean women, a key voting bloc who feared that a Kast victory would roll back years of steady gains, promising they will be “protagonists” in a government that will seek to “leave behind once and for all the patriarchal inheritance of our society.”
Especially in light of Chile’s history, with the US overthrowing the Socialist Allende government in the 70s and installing the murdering fascist dictator Pinochet this signals a hopeful return to sovereignty, away from the exploitative neoliberalism enforced upon the country by the IMF, the US and the rest of the Global North.
With that I am going to leave you with a number of Hot Shots from the last couple of days. I’ll be back on Wednesday and remain, without compromise, yours,
V.
