symbioidljCan we hang the rich, yet?
Boo fucking Hoo. It's called a social contract, you didn't just earn your fantabulous wealth all on your own, asswipe, and you owe a debt to society. Such a fuckin' pity people expect a little compassion and concern for the social good.
Look, I'm a person who would love to see a radical re-working of our entire system. I'm not particularly an "anarchist" in the orthodox sense, but I do think there's something (a LOT in fact) to be said for localized control, worker ownership, etc.... I don't LIKE a huge national government who fucking wages war for wealthy fucks like you to go around and piss on the people in our own country.
You didn't bitch and moan when those trillions were spent on death machines. I mean, when did a tank ever build something up? It tears shit down. That's what a tank does. You can't reform a tank. You can't help it turn itself around. And the cynical rich bastards would say that about people living in a ghetto. But you know what, people do change. You can work on building a more humane and just society. But a more humane and just tank? Fuck Off. But that's ok, because the tank helps you.
Do I think that the national government is capable of it all? No. Do I think that the overall goal of the US Gov is to actually help "the people"? No. But some people do throw us crumbs. And when we get the damn crumbs. We'll take them. Maybe someday I dream of some sort of revolution from below. Maybe the cynic in me has given up on that dream. But deep down there's smouldering embers. And your hatred and your whiney bourgeois nose-cutting attitude acts as oxygen to those ever dimming lumps, and they spark up just a little more...

Now, speaking of tanks... There's a modern update to this, and I know some of you know this (Perhaps![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sammaelhain? I think I recall you having posted it at one time -- if anyone can link that, I'd love to see it and share it :))

Date: 2009-03-03 05:37 am (UTC)Maybe you'll know the artist, if it's the same guy...
He's done quite a few anarchists/anti-authoritarian posters after the Battle of Seattle (and I'd imagine he still continues)...
The one poster I can recall is "LIBERALS! When guns are outlawed only they will have guns" (and it's a Riot Police gunning towards the viewer) Does that sound familiar? It's kind of cartoony round style of art.
