Educational systems teach children loyalty to governments which have no loyalty to them. It teaches children to accept the way things are, a few living lavishly while the rest struggle to survive. It teaches children to respect and admire those in power regardless of how that power may have been obtained. Children are not taught however, a healthy mistrust of government, corporate, religious and educational institutions. Institutions that work to keep them docile, uneducated, fearful, and defenseless. Few children leave school equipped with the knowledge and courage to fight against tyranny.

That is why I am starting a school.

here’s what happens when you get Martin Luther King Jr. and Joe America on a bus filled with a bunch of straight journalists. Did you really expect them to do anything?

I’ve got a better idea. Go downtown with five buses. Fill the bus with free booze and drugs. Tell them it’s all theirs if they’re on board to take a little trip to fuck with Mr. Executive.

It sounds like it was the journalists’ fault. How are two lone protestors going to psyche each other up enough for a confrontation. You turned it into your very own astroturf faux event right at the start. You – the educated liberal scribblers with your sense of entitlement and self pity, desperate for someone else to do something so you can report on it. Is that vein getting hard to find?

Jared: No, the Israeli government doesn’t own a square metre of soil in so-called.
The Palestinian people owns it all.

What the hell is this bitching about crackers all about? They just like the African-Americans belong to the people, the exploited workers and middle-class. If they are dumbasses for listening to Limbaugh, hey, all the people that voted for Obama, the golden boy of the financial elites, are just as fucked.

Kicking on them makes you look like a Jewish rich-boy revolutionary on a late sixties Ivy League school declaring that the American working-class are reactionaries and the new revolutionary front is an allaince of millionaire kids, queers and the Nation of Islam… You need to get a grip of the situation, and stop hating your own kind.
It’s okay to white.

Amazing article…

It explains why in the USA the people don’t have rights that we, in Europe, enjoy since the 50′s. Like social security and universal health care.

The american dream is not a democracy, but a rich oligarchy. Not really different to Saudi Arabia.

I don’t mind if some guy gets a nice house and a sports car. It’s like hey, good job. As long as there’s some spics to cut the grass and cops to keep the niggers out, what’s the big deal?

Hey Mark, sweetie pie, how are we going to wage this class war when it breaks out? You don’t really think you’ll be able to help out from this website alone, it’s starting to attract attention, I think.

Maybe realize the Army’s worst fears about twitting? Or do you think that too familiar to the ruling elite?

I wish Ntaganda would teach guerrilla warfare classes.

Hi Mark
it seems class war has reared its head in Europe. Same setting you describe, man kills after losing job:

“A 38 year old man who had fallen on rough times, lost his job and was being evicted from his home today decided to target Queen Beatrix and the royal family by attempting to attack them with his car.”

Remember – the real revolution will not be televised. Any ‘rage bus’ or whatever that is given over to local yokel press and CNN Minitruth operatives is doomed to fail.

Now, tell me a story of riding in the back of a ’92 Suburban filled with unemployed plant workers armed with axe handles and bricks rolling incognito into Fairfield about 3 am and you have yourself a STORY.

It sounds like the issue is that this turned into a media circus instead of an actual event.

The real problem is that the protesters see those mansions on the neatly trimmed rolling greens and thinks to themselves “wow, these are nice”. And instead of having the reaction of intense rage at the dispossession required to create such a fantasy life they instead escape into it themselves. They truly don’t want to see the country estates disappear. They identify our country’s success with the grand indulgences of the elite.

It’s no mistake that all our best labor leaders and political figures are long dead. They mostly came from immigrant backgrounds and were subject to the degradation of being “foreign” in America. The elite killed them after Haymarket, killed them in the mining strikes, jailed and exiled them for opposing WWI. There were moments of payback, though far too random or terroristic to matter much.

Frankly the financial leaders need to be disposessed. They fear facing the poverty system they created for others most of all. Strip them of all their possessions, their communication devices, their resumes and put them in the middle of the blight they created. Let’s see how they do without their connections and corporate perks.

The sight of a Jumbo Jet in the air scared the crap out of New Yorkers. Americans are very easily frieghtened.

The problem is too many Americans live in suburbia. They get easily frightened by the sight “chaos and riots” of a few broken windows and graffitti in the houses of the AIG ceo’s. They just watch the images on television and get frieghtened but it isn’t actually happening right outside their houses. Its a television “culture” instead of actually being there and experiencing it. Americans went from city people to suburban people. Somebody should do a study on the psychology of suburbia because this is very overlooked. As for the pig ignorant right wingers they are already slaves and they will defend their oppressers just like that one women gave the gun back to the serial killer. They’ve been slaves ever since the south was burnt down.

Once again Ames you miss the point. It is not the Bourgeoisie that is running the show. It is the military industrial complex, and it’s mirror the welfare state. Complaining about the bourgeoisie is like a medieval peasant complaining about that peasant chick that sleeps with his royale whatever and doesn’t have to do chores anymore. We are not living in Marx’s world of the 1860s, it is more like the world of 1913 where guys like Henry Ford are completely disregarded as the world marched to war.

As to ACORN and the NY familly party, both have no idea what they are doing and are easily co-opted to injure their own constituents.

A couple dozen imported Natbols would have done the job. All they needed was a dozen teenagers running rampant over the guys lawn chased by a couple of cops, one goon, and one hot Dom bitch. A few broken windows, spray painted graffiti, etc and the whole country would be petrified by the televized images of “anarchy”. Problem is, Americans by and large have zero balls. They can’t risk a criminal record, God forbid – that’s the end. Just compare U.S. labor strikes to Korea, as an example – in Korea the strikers face off with cops with homemade flamethrowers. Do that in America and you get shot real quick. The difference is in America the bums have the means to shot back, but they never will.

I think this here is a case of the blind leading the blind. How could this ever even be a class war? These people got upset about AIG bonuses, because the politicians told them to become upset about them, to get the heat off of them. They are being played and controlled by the very elite they are supposedly up in arms against. The bonuses have been a big diversion from the get-go.

The culprits at the root are the politicians and the buerocrats who gave AIG all that money. Call it a class war, when you assemble a mob to go after them in addition to the executives, but until then its just stoogery and a waste of time wether somebody chickens out or not.

It`s time people looked the truth in the eye and saw that Obama is an enabler of the oligarchs, not their victim.
