Notes from the Subaltern

I was watching the film, "Rosa Luxemburg" the other night and I could not stop weeping.

I hope you're all learning from her example because times right now are eerily similar and I fear that we might need some of that courage, wiliness and resolve in the years to come.

Tanks and nukes and a fucking yacht dedicated to some over privileged, racist ghoul?

Selling arms to the Saudis to bomb Yemen, fund Wahhabism and create the worst humanitarian disaster, in all of recorded human history?

And yet, we can't afford to provide for those who are forced to live on a razor's edge and are exploited mercilessly for it?

Well, I don't think we can afford to live without compassion. It will be the end of us.

Socialism or barbarism. Read Rosa. Please.
