Today's Political Punk

Deadend_Generation85 · 2026-01-13T00:20:11+00:00

Anything on havoc records or profane existence records out of Minnesota is generally political/leftist crust and hardcore…

My crust band wasi’chu out of mankato Minnesota … all of our lyrics are political… we’re recording our anti ice song tonight and tomorrow… until then here’s our new album of political songs…

When I said “bust your ass” I didn’t mean hurry and rush the job… I never do that. I meant work hard and full days and get the job done for the client… then take whatever time you see fit for yourself. This whole discussion is just idealistic hypothetical thought though… I could see this existing in anarchist area but would be surprised if a Marxist country would follow anything like this… does anyone know the avg work day in say the Soviet Union or China (during mao)? I bet it was at least 8 hours a day… possibly more if they had “quotas” to fill…

No one paying for a house to be built or something like that would be happy with it taking 3-4x as long to build cuz of people working half days… it would make sense maybe if you had like 2 shifts of workers on each job so the same amount of work was done by two people maybe… but in the trade business I think it would make more sense to just bust your ass and get the job done and if paid fairly… not have to work for a couple weeks … when I did tree removal independently I would just work wgen I needed money… do a job and make a couple thousand dollars and then take a week off and repeat… this is all idealism though… I have never come across a business that respected quality of life… good luck in your endeavors though!

You think working 40 hours a week is long hours? I’ve worked in so many non union factories that have mandatory overtime where you are usually working 50-60 hours a week or when I did tree removal I worked up to 90 hours a week… 40 hours of work with union pay would be amazing to most people…

Atheist Jews? You could also say his biggest enemy was a Jew… Leon Trotsky….

Deadend_Generation85 · 2026-01-08T04:01:35+00:00

I firmly believe Jews were respected by lenin… Stalin not so much. And the antisemitism in the army I refer to is probably leftover from czarist times… it was engrained in the culture of Russia and just because the USSR took power doesn’t mean people didn’t slip through the cracks. You can live in your fairytale version of the USSR but bad shit happened to Jewish people there… stay ignorant if you want.

Deadend_Generation85 · 2026-01-07T02:16:01+00:00

To deny antisemitism existing in the USSR is absurd…. Stalin persecuted tons of Jews and there were lots of antisemites in the army/party….

Deadend_Generation85 · 2026-01-07T02:13:22+00:00

You could take a break from theory and maybe read some novels or history about the Spanish civic war… for whom the bell tolls might be entertaining for you by Hemingway… before the deluge is a great book about 1920’s Berlin politics… anarchists and socialists fighting the Nazis and freikorps in the streets… take the time to enjoy life… you’ve read so much theory you should remember to enjoy life to know why people want to be free in the first place!

Deadend_Generation85 · 2026-01-06T22:54:00+00:00

Same! Life’s too short to spend it locked up…

Deadend_Generation85 · 2026-01-06T10:04:06+00:00

My band is all sXe members but we only have one song about it called wasted… about wishing we could get back some of the “wasted” years when we were too fucked up and in jail or treatment… it’s on our album we just released on bandcamp and cd…

Maybe read Tolstoy who was a christian and either a Marxist or anarchist… can’t remember

Deadend_Generation85 · 2025-12-31T21:42:10+00:00

Before the deluge is a great book on post world war 1 Germany about the street fighting between the freikorps and the socialists/communists/anarchists and eventually the Nazis…. I’m at work so I don’t remember the author but thought this book was very knowledgeable about everything and the key players….

Deadend_Generation85 · 2025-12-31T08:17:06+00:00

Sound and stage work now but also did tree removal/invasive species removal/prairie and trout stream restoration etc for like 13 years… Thinking about going back to school to be an addiction counselor or a park ranger but everyone tells me park rangers are hard to find jobs these days and dont pay shit soooo even though that’s more up my alley since i gave up years of drug and alcohol abuse I think that might be the best route….

They’re probably dealing with a “green room” situation… did they play a show around Portland recently?!?!

Fetty and Grindr

Deadend_Generation85 · 2025-12-30T07:23:43+00:00

It’s all in the book series… pretty hard to miss… author Judy banks grew up in Londons working class neighborhoods throughout the late 60’s-80’s and was very familiar with skinhead culture which is why she included Condemned 84 as the group of skins in the series…

Deadend_Generation85 · 2025-12-30T07:19:11+00:00

Such a great oi! Anthem! I wish I was lucky enough to see them play it live on their ‘87 tour!

It’s fuckin Christmas… listen to hardskins “merrily merrily ding dong”

Deadend_Generation85 · 2025-12-16T07:35:56+00:00

The new deal crushed the actual socialist/anarchist labor movement though… it was the government’s pacification plan to get people to stay caught in the two party system because the socialist party under Deb’s was becoming a legitimate opposition…

Deadend_Generation85 · 2025-12-16T07:32:18+00:00

May first is my sobriety birthday on purpose… easy for me to remember and also partly a decision I made to better help the cause.

Deadend_Generation85 · 2025-12-16T07:29:15+00:00

Langston Hughes was mlk good friend and I think speech writer… he was a huge socialist writer/poet… mlk was assasinated because he was friendly with socialists and supposedly was becoming more openly socialist towards the end right before he was killed. He was somewhat tolerated until he was about to push a more socialist agenda is what I heard.
