"The Slogan That Unleashed This Hell"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 15 hours ago
*"The Slogan That Unleashed This Hell"* by Jeffrey Tucker In 1969, the salad days of New Left activism, a writer named Carol Hanisch penned an essay that the editor called “The Personal Is Political.” She was seeking to explain the ethos of the women’s therapy sessions she was running. The point was not to improve psychological well being. The point was “political therapy;” that is to motivate people to political action. The idea is that one’s own grievances ought to be turned into political action. “There are no personal solutions at this time,” she wrote. “There is only collectiv... more »

"I broke from a collective delusion"

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 15 hours ago
Journalist Chris Hedges interviews former combat veteran and US Army officer, Spenser Rapone about bravery and morality.

Marco Rubio Introduces Anti-Noncompete Bill In Congress

In a possible sign of the apocalypse, I actually agree with something my state's Senator, Sen. Marco Rubio, has done. I'm stunned but pleasantly surprised that he has introduced something to help working people, despite being the senator for very anti-employee Florida. Senator Rubio has introduced the Freedom To Compete Act, a bill that would prohibit employers from forcing exempt workers from entering into noncompete agreements. That means no hourly employees would be required to sign terrible agreements prohibiting them from switching jobs for higher wages and better working condi... more »
