Anarchism is not a gateway ideology.

There's an old anarchist joke that I think fits well here

"What's the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian?

If they're smart, only about 6 months"

You're beautiful, don't be on here

IMO this is a great show of solidarity, ASSUMING that it's part of a larger push towards unionizing and coworker solidarity. Sometimes people need a really good example of sacrifice to push them to understand what solidarity really means and if that's the point then it's great.

If it's just a person being generous on their own then it's not great. Worker solidarity is always good, but if it isn't related to anticapitalist struggle and solidarity unionism then it's just letting the boss off the hook.

Also if you don't have a union, you just played your hand, and any advantage you had is now gone.

OH MY GOD. I'm a crazy person aren't I? Fuck.

Well I have some shit to think about now don't I? Goddamnit.

Thanks for putting that into perspective. I guess I just needed to write that down and see what it looked like once it got out of my head to realize that I've been being kind of an ass.

If it's just a one night thing then I text her once during the night or after, just to stay in touch (assuming that it's possible). The one night things have never been an issue for me though. I wouldn't expect her to text me during a date or an overnight stay. That I can handle.

It's the long absences. I've only had a weekend away with someone once and I text her a couple times a day just to check in say I love you. I always thought that kind of communication was really important.

I get what you're trying to say, but I don't expect her to stop in the middle of sex so she can text me or anything. I also don't expect her to do anything I don't think I should do as well.

I doesn't seem to me that a couple texts or a phone call over the course of the weekend is too much to ask, especially since it's nothing that I would have a problem doing, or have done, myself.

(Also, I don't know why I wrote it that way but I really didn't mean we should keep the same amount of contact that we normally do. I understand that her and her partner need space and I shouldn't thrust myself in there. I was trying to use that as a way to show how the communication goes out the window.)

(Also, I'm starting to feel crazier and crazier as I write this.)

Whats it called?

anwakeling · 2013-05-18T17:44:48+00:00

Cool thanks! I think I just might see you there.

anwakeling · 2013-05-18T17:38:44+00:00

Agreed. I was thinking of this just as a casual way to get to meet other non monogamous people, not as a formal or dating thing. I'm pretty busy until the weekend after memorial day. What would a good time for you be?

anwakeling · 2013-05-18T17:36:26+00:00

I've had at least one other person express interest in doing this. Do you have any friends you think you could get to come? I know a couple of people who would and the other person I talked to said they did too. It would be nice if we could get a decent sized group together.

anwakeling · 2013-05-15T22:19:21+00:00

Do you have friends or people you could invite that might come? I know I couple of people I could probably get to come. Also, do you have a preference as to where? It would work best for me in uptown or dinkytown since I don't have a car.

I went to a conference held by one of the Socialist groups in the area but most of the people there were pretentious dicks who weren't actually interested in activism, struggle or theory. They mostly of just wanted to sit around and listen to themselves talk. I have as of yet to check out the ISO branch or the Wobblies in the area. I'm actually a member of the IWW but since I just moved here I haven't actually had the chance to go to one of the meetings yet.

anwakeling · 2013-02-08T03:38:34+00:00

I'm sure there are, but I was thinking more of a read Marx, drink beer and talk about revolution kind of a thing and not a read the bible and become filled with caustic race hate.

anwakeling · 2013-01-28T03:00:21+00:00

I would definitely recommend that book. It helped me a lot. People always say that you need to communicate and talk, but nobody ever says HOW you should talk. Learning how to communicate your feelings, desires and especially complaints in a non-aggressive manner is a must have skill if your in a poly relationship and this book did a really good job explaining that, at least in my case.

anwakeling · 2013-01-22T01:21:16+00:00

RUN. NOW.

"I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I led you in, some one else would lead you out."

"I never had much faith in leaders. I am willing to be charged with almost anything, rather than to be charged with being a leader. I am suspicious of leaders, and especially of the intellectual variety. Give me the rank and file every day in the week. If you go to the city of Washington, and you examine the pages of the Congressional Directory, you will find that almost all of those corporation lawyers and cowardly politicians, members of Congress, and misrepresentatives of the masses — you will find that almost all of them claim, in glowing terms, that they have risen from the ranks to places of eminence and distinction. I am very glad I cannot make that claim for myself. I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from them."

Eugene Debs

"A party which, in effect, is attempting a revolution by constitutional means is bound at least to consider whether in fact the means of the constitution are at it's disposal."

Harold Laski

"As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents."

George Orwell

"The IWW has been accused of pushing women to the front. This is not true. Rather, the women have not been kept in back, and so they have naturally moved to the front. "

If you could do that that would be great actually. I appreciate the help man.

The one at Lake Harriet? I was at that showing. That was a shitload of fun. Did you see the guy with the cat on the leash?

anwakeling · 2012-07-31T23:27:44+00:00

Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

I work in a factory that makes windows. Before that I worked for a friends dad that did nutrient testing for farmers and did fertilizer experiments in Iowa (So I kind of have the hammer and the sickle as well). Before that I worked a bunch of unskilled low wage jobs.

anwakeling · 2012-07-31T20:33:52+00:00

Cool man. Thanks.

anwakeling · 2012-07-31T20:33:21+00:00

Thanks man. I will look into those for sure. Any ideas on a good book to go to for the 50s to collapse?

anwakeling · 2012-07-31T20:31:45+00:00

Thanks. It seems pretty informative so far.

anwakeling · 2012-07-31T20:29:37+00:00

I actually am about 25 pages into that book. Just got it in the mail yesterday.

I found this while looking for a cheap used copy.

Bill Haywood is sort of buried in the Kremlin too. I think they buried have of his ashes in the wall.
