Freedom From Fear. Part 2.

Liberation or Capitalism

Morning Comrades.

I felt a little bad about this week venting on here, as justified as it is, but what always irks me about this is the reactionary bullshit nature of it if you cannot offer a solution to the bullshit. As hard as it may sound, it’s part of the job and with that I had initially planned to write a story about the possibility of extending the Mutual Aid framework established here over the last 3 years toward a logical conclusion, the establishment of an international mutual aid fund for when the fuckening hits, because lets face it, within Capitalism, money solves most attempts by the bastards to fuck with one of us. I have discussed this possibility with a few people infinitely smarter than myself before hand, we have broached the subject here a few times but there are still too many, structural and frankly, ethical problems to solve - so that’s not happening here today, but an extension of a previously talked about subject is, that, of course, ties into the above, just on a larger picture type of situation.

Fear is, I think, a principal part of the political problem. If we cannot address that and understand the nature of that fear and find ways of dealing with it, then we have lost.

Back in March I wrote a piece that started to outline what the ultimate goals are here, outside of the usual marxist lingo and I would recommend the read it below before we start with an addition to the below text, as it builds on the below and takes it a bit further. Obviously, this week’s theme has roughly dealt with exploitation and legality, both of which are based on and result in fear and that prompted to re-think this idea and add some ideas to it.
