Behind the Bastards

If you want to go read more about it, I have wasted probably four years of my life reading about it. I don't recommend it. But the answer is you can sort of kind of get it to work if you fuck with the numbers a lot. But it's if you do, it's unclear if they mean anything. You can also bypass it entirely by arguing that only works in the level of the entire world economy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't care. If you do care about this, don't yell at me. Go read chapter six of Bickler and Nielsen's Capitalist Power, Paul Maddox's Theory of Critique, Fred Mosley's Money in Totality and Kilman and McGlure's Temporal Single System Interpretation of Marx's Value Theory.

Popular Science estimated that half a million Americans had started quickdraw shooting for fun. And by the end of the decade, 3000 Western style guns were selling per week, according to Frank Smythe and his book, The NRA, The Unauthorized History. At the same time, accidental gun wounds and deaths were on the rise, and three out of four Americans supported stricter gun control measures as a result.

Carter loved guns from childhood. He was an excellent shot and would go on to win two national shooting titles and set 44 national shooting records during his lifetimes. His most infamous shot, however, came at the age of 17 when in defense of his mother, he unloaded a shotgun into the chest of a knife wielding Mexican teenager.

You had ruptural transformation, interstitial transformation, and symbiotic transformation.

And so I think part of the issue when it comes to discussions of anarchism and infrastructure and supply lines and all these different things is that I think people have this misconception, there's this real strange idea of what an anarchist revolution looks like, where we flip a switch just overnight and boom, anarchist society. We have nothing in place, we have no organizations or systems, or networks in place, it's just boom, snap of fingers and all of a sudden we're all living under anarchy. But in reality, as Kropotkin expressed, there's no fallacy as harmful as the fallacy of the one day revolution. Obviously, there's going to be a transition. In fact, a lot of people like to define anarchism as an ongoing process moving further and further towards the ideal of anarchy. The whole idea is not whether or not there will be a transitional society, but what kind of transition that will be. And so in this period of transition is when we would be engaging in the different forms of social experimentation to manifest anarchist principles in every facet of life. And of course, this process will involve engaging with local conditions and local people, and allowing those communities, those individuals to determine for themselves what structures and systems are put in place. Part of the struggle is going to involve mirroring the society that we wish to create. So if our final goal is a communistic anarchistic society, then our methods must be as communistic and anarchistic as possible. The basic duality of means and ends. So when we speak of supply lines, when we speak of infrastructure, the reality is that existing infrastructure is not going to disappear overnight. We're not starting from complete scratch. This isn't a new Minecraft world where we have to go and punch some trees and start society all over again. Revolution is destructive, but it's also constructive and transformative. So we're not going to get rid of all experts and all expertise, we're not going to be floundering to figure out how to make penicillin. People in all fields and all industries and all layers and all backgrounds are going to be involved in the process, adapting their workplaces, adapting their industries towards sustainable and anarchic ends. And it's a process that's going on now and will continue because if we look at revolution as a combination of, I think Eric Olin Wright, he had in his book, Envisioning Real Utopias, three basic concepts of transformation. You had ruptural transformation, interstitial transformation, and symbiotic transformation. And so interstitial revolution is basically the idea, it's basically a mirror of prefigurative politics. It's a theoretical means of societal transformation through progressively and strategically enlarging spaces of social empowerment. And ruptural transformation is, of course, I guess the dichotomy between the insurrectionists and everybody else. Where you have these moments of social outbursts, these moments of rupture where social forms and social developments are undertaken and we sort of figure out how we are, or rather we directly fight back against the systems that are in place. I think rupture is one of the more exciting forms, it's the kind of form of revolution people tend to think of when they think of the term revolution, this idea of all these, this mass of people, this crowd of people storming the Bastille or whatever. But the real work of transformation is the stuff that occurs prior to and post those moments of rupture.

What's great about that is that is almost borderline similar to Isaac Asimov's The Caves of Steel novels.

That's almost as accurate as written a novel for forty years. Let's just be I mean, I feel about that. The net four stories were nearly as accurate as Shatner's Tech War novels, which is quite accurate.

If I'm remembering correctly, they're basically like future detective stories, but the primary the center of every book is that this guy is incredibly divorced and keeps having custody.

genocide means an attempt to exterminate a racial, ethnic, religious, cultural, or political group either directly through murder or indirectly by creating conditions that lead to the group's destruction.

The protesters stand at the entrance to the clinic's parking lot and badger the patients when they come in. They get screamed at. The protesters write down their license plates. They send them cards. They make phone calls to their homes.

Someone mailed a letter postmarked the morning of the fire justifying killing the animals on Rodney's farm because Rodney "murdered little children."

Rodney is used to this type of verbal abuse and sometimes react in kind when a priest called him a murderer. Rodney responded by calling the priest a child molester. When the protesters told Rodney they were praying for him, he responded. "No, you're praying upon us. There's a difference."

These tactics include bombings arson anthrax scares and mass blockades extremists have also thrown butyric acid into clinics glued clinic lock shut locked themselves to clinic property using items such as bicycle locks or chains drilled holes into clinic roof. So that clinics flood invaded invaded clinics vandalized clinics made threatening phone calls tried to persuade patients to go to fake clinics, which we've talked about that in our episode on crisis pregnancy centers. But those that is also like part of the systemic campaign of terror is deceiving and humiliating people into not getting abortions.

Those window blinds, Christina, who works at a clinic, explained while pointing at the huge windows that surround the conference table in one of her clients. You pull them down, you can look through them and you could find the protesters at the windows looking in.

The National Abortion Federation identifies 30 incidents of arson or bombing in 1984, exceeding the previous seven years combined.

those who truly love God would kill the baby killers.

The National Abortion Federation identifies 30 incidents of arson or bombing in 1984, exceeding the previous seven years combined.

The series of bombings included but was not limited to the offices of the National Abortion Fund and the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington, D.C., as well as abortion clinics in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.

The signature of the Army of God was also found in a subsequent clinic bombing in Saratosa, Florida.

The senior ranking member of the coup party, although not its leader was Master Sergeant Samuel Doe, an almost entirely unknown figure. The decision was rather spontaneous and aided by alcohol.

The party set off on the evening of the 11th fully armed and made its way to the foot of the Barclay Training Center towards Capitol Hill and the executive mansion.

At about 0100 hours on the morning of the 12th, the coup party broke into the basement also without encountering any challenge and cautiously entered the upstairs section.

After the shooting Corporal Peno was asked what he thought he was doing and his reply was that he wanted to see Tolbert die in order to debunk a generally held belief that the president was a witch doctor.

The bulk of advancing forces were locally recruited youth handed guns and fortified by alcohol and cheaply sourced Chinese amphetamines known colloquially as bubbles. And of course a great deal of local marijuana.

And with regard to the second book, as we had Trump come into office.

She's very much a character who grows up in a world where all the adults are stuck.

She doesn't really draw much attention or spend much time thinking about things like ecosystem restoration or changing the, pushing back against the government or the economic system that is impoverishing and inflicting violence upon people.

She really emphasizes that change is neither good or bad, but it is potential.

And so that's when I get into the third book and things I learned about the third book when I was researching for this episode.

It is not the heaven that was hoped for, but gray, dank and utterly miserable.

It's like trying to graft humanity onto a new planet and it's it's it's like if humanity were a branch and this new plant was a tree and like both the tree and the branch are kind of rejecting each other.

And so the whole idea of Parallel of the Trickster and what have been the subsequent books was, you know, the continuation of the concept of choice, choosing to either, live together, work together, struggle together, or fight and scheme and lose their minds, break down, die and murder alone.
