left libertarians


 left libs and the class cloven society 
the xers revolution 
stateless in seattle 


 dateline Seattle 1999
  STRUGGLE IS REBORN 

 the xers finally really arrived on  the red map 
and  guess what --- -
   they wanted to paint it black

it's even got 
  that old party builder 
bob Avakian 
  out of his soft exilic gallican chair 
   seems 
    these xers
  especiallty the late ones born after say 73 
 will not go to their deaths sweetly
  reminds me of the late dirthers 
like ummmm bob A himself
   and dylan and the SDS wrecking crews 
of the post  june 68 world 

   and god bless their little overshadowed hearts 
      but even with some nice sword play by
bullet proof Bobble Aventurakian 
here they remain 
these  4 sorry years later 
after the towers and talibandits  toppled   
and their jet  black 
is sagging into  dovish
gray velvet 

  but and still 
  they seem unwilling
 to redmorph 



     -----------------------------------
  fuck it 
 boys and gals 
of late Xdom

black is not a color 
it's a shaded area 

an absence of light 

   get thiz 

  only  original red light 
              izzz
 a  revolutionary  color 

like blue and yellow 

red is a primary
 of the class color  triad 

 these three primaries 
 between themselves
        color in the outlines 
   of any real 
prole against prole
  duke out

that's all  there is
 to our klass- social  reality 

no black 
guys 

no black

  black
 is  only 
white
 inside out 
and 
 both are just  extremes 
of  burgher gray 

     they 
pass like tides
 back and forth 
the whole burgher  world round 

how ho hum 
  
but any way 
here ‘s a response 
------------------------------------------

      PART ONE 
   THE WHITE STATE  
 THE CURSE OF NIMROD 
 



 “the state   is not just a blood sucking  parasite 
   sometimes it's a  symbiotic Pappy  ”
    sonny  stiglitz  


“ the spine of the state is the soldier's rifle”
              Engels 

  “ right libertarians vs left libertarians 
tweedledom tweedledee ”
   bob reich 



  proposition : the Xer breed of  left libertarians
                      because 
they lack a clear
 and reasonibly accurate  concept
  of the hows and whys of  social change 
            inside   class societies
               societies grounded  in
   a socially  divided economic system  

 and because 
these same leftXers  
consequently lack a proper respect
 for the plausible  dynamic  range 
of sustainible state/society  reformations 

  and given 
too much idle time and wishful thinking 
              the result is 
 the usual absurd  attack of the pea- brainoise 
  when un harnessed to the status quo

    i e flying horses are spawned 

----------------------------------------

a little more detail:


given  the tyrany of 
any social division of labor 
and also given 
same's
apparent 
 long term inevitability 
 within society   

an inevitability 
no matter who   governs
 even if all govern 
and govern like  social saints  
 
   and since
their individual   brains repress
 maybe even  lack
any conscious  sense 
that  clear lines
 exist in society 
and 
that these lines  
contain within themselves
a social real basis
for  stages of development 
stages 
that like  barriers  
divide 
 the socially  possible
 from the impossible
except over a struggle filled
perhaps zig zaggy
indefinite time interval

yes Jjuney Moonbeam
despite society's
 continous selftransformation
we got ourselves a step by step here
no leap straight to final cummunity
 

 up shot 
  because of their
 manner of thought 
 flying horses
abound
 and watch out when they 
 stampede
 you get bin ladens 
=====================

 since 
 real stages of social development
 with law like regularities 
and limitations  
alas  do not exist for them 

  they can  
entertain the dream 
of imediate statelessness

 the reality that the state 
in the short and medium
 run
 remains an  unremediable
inevitability 
is simply finessed
and so reality in all its social 
clashings is skipped away from

solution by assumption

introducing
the eighth wonder of the world

Stateless Guy
yer anti leviathan  

don't laugh
the guy'z a hunk

 noam chomsky
 is part
of his fan club 


check this out 

' sure I wanta believe
Stateless Guy's real
who wouldn't 
once ya've
 seen'm pantless"
  N. Chomsky
==========================

facts are harder then dogma

"  if a prole party
  seizes  power
 that party  must use 
power 
 not abolish it "
             Rosa Lux (2)

not only can’t 
THE PROLE'S PARTY
 abolish
 STATE POWER

   in brut fact 
they'll very quickly find  
they ‘ll need 
to use it  brother
and how 

the prole state
 is" logically" a final State
but it must operate 
on its KLASS enemies 
by all means necessary
 
till ENEMY KLASSES
 be gone SISTER
GONE 
 at theROOTS 
ie ANY AND ALL
 NEC-LAB
 is over 
=====================
the prole state 
i.e the class dictatorship of the proles  
  needed  at least as much 
 for FUNDEMENTAL
  social  progress
as the bourg state is 
 used now by the bourgs
 for FUNDEMENTAL
 social  regress 
=======================

 fatal lopsided pix
 of the left libertarians

 the state has never been 
 just a pure parasite 

NEVER
just   an incubus
 draining the spirits 
of the hapless  toiling multitude  

 the black 
nitemare notion 
of the
parasite  bureaucracy 
 as 
some supraklass 
 surplus sucker 
======================

intensification of klass dictatorship over time

home work for left libs

check out nicaragua in the 80s
and chile in the allende 70s
see
two social  formations 
after power seizure
see both
never get over the hump
never get  to 
 cuba 

then kids 
if ya want 
extra credit
show me 
in 50 words or less
why 
 ya 
prefer /don't prefer
 these roads
 to castro's road 
=======================

lets go back before klasses emerged 
before columbus arrived

but when the pilgrams settled
they brought along 
the blue prints of klass society
======================
 left lib 
five year 
final solution 
plan

we can go stateless in five 
yes

"stateless in five" 

here's how 

1  abolish exploitationary 
positions and property 

2 liquidate all burgers' nests 
 
3 reeducate all burgers
and burger dupes 

then 

 4 shut down the kamps 

and 

5 close the state 
==================
 theory of
 the reclassified state


at first every one lives
after the revolution  
in a   tadpole state
a   pre-reclassified state
a state just
waiting for 
the proper conditions
 to morph into
a full blown 
 bourg -- winged thing

and remember 
there is no one size fits all 
lynch pin
test for latent 
  burglar klass system
genes

" all 'prole' states
 so far
have  reverted  to
burger klass states
sooner or later"
      alfred e neuman 

does thiz cynicism
have merit ?

or at least some sorts of merits  
==========================
they ain't wrong about the record

don't look too promising 
on the face of it 
uz Lenin lads 
end up ........

the fuck  is
 the liberlefty
 RX

 to combat 
this growth
 this pathology
 of the prole state

the left libs have turned to
 the old antistate bromides
OF BURGHER VISIONARIES PAST 

revolutionary moments 
 do occur 
when and if 
the old  state disintergrates
to this point agreement 
seems to hold 

that is
 once
  we ‘ve got cleared  away 
some preliminary
black face rubble 
like hit uz in 69 and again in 99
the old adventue klub
 violence as symbol shit
and all the rest of the baby bad guy
tantrum
you know the scam  
we can
" make it all happen"
by throwing bombs
 at perfectly robust
super exploiter states
like the us of a 

thinking

 a few here and there
 bomb tipped
 temmper fitz
will  cause
em" to implode"

no 
give em a pass on that shit 
 say 
we’re standing
 on the ruins of the ancient regime 
trying to mobilize
 for the new world 

 blacky sez right off
 great the buggars gone 
let's not replace her

the cunt was nothin 
but a  functionless parasite
a cancer on the productive system 

 the bourgs needed her
to prop  up
they’re weaklings
dope down or lock down
 our losers 
 and 
 keep our heroes in dead mode
 
we now libbed
 need  her not 
-----------------------------------
now 
this chatter 
then usually 
 leads straight on
an aweful ought  ooooohh
 to 
the nec nec proviso 
the need for 
 an all together 
one great girdling rev wave
that brings down
 burger states
 globe wide 
yes gang 
the stateless need 
a world rev 
just to get started 

and this happens 
because
 the able ones among them 
figure foreign bourgs
 got to get it too 
or the baby gets strangled
to death
 or  so mangled
into a monster
it feeds on its own masses


if the rev in society A
 is not to be smothered
 by societies bcdef 
 now STILL LIVING 
 in burgher dudgeon 
 THEY MUST FALL TOO 

by the way
 they often 
allow themselves to believe 
 we had the makings
 of at least one 
 world rev
back in  1917-1923
but by 
one damn thing or another
the accidences of history 
i suppose 
things like 
"bad ideas 
in  all the relevant 
leading heads"
 and such 
well shit sparks
didn't 
the whole  deal 
come a cropper

leaving only stalin

=============================
you can waste a lifetime
in hand wrings 
that 
 Emma Golddigger 
ET AL 
the  rev  leaders
 with the 'right left  ideas"
 didn’t 
get the big important
top  rev  jobs
 when history called
the  prole klass to order 
------------------------------------

talking long range strategy now


needing a global 
state melt  down 
to even begin
 to succeed
wow
 this has
 its consequences
 in strategy 

cause fer a  world rev 
ya need
 to take out 
the top cap states
right up front
as part
 of the initila wave 
of pin drops

so first world societies 
become key 
 backward societies
 may have revs and rolls
maybe in some of em 
 prole power illusions
will prevail for a spell
but
remember rule 13 
 if the top dog states
 aren’t toppled...

right 
 its back to
 bourg world USA

" hey lenin 
check out 
the rise and fall 
of the berlin wall"
       Diddles  Kropotkin  
======================

it's a judgement day 
type thing 
they envision 

 all of a sudden 
one of the top states
 leading  bourgs
 lose their grip 

this  spreads
like gangrene 
 to their coevals
 inside the other top states
 they topple one by one 
no outside threats
 now cause no outside
just one big union 
of earthling folks 

and after that 
 itz
childs play uber alles 

the command goes out 
from all mouths at once 

“ warp speed scotty”

and bingo

 the leap to stateless bliss 


----------------------------------------


recap so far 

we got

1  first world first 
i.e.
no weak
link 
we got to take it from the top


2  antistate RXes
 all over the place 
 apres the burgher cookie crumbles
we got see
 thats the only way  
to get perminently 
 out of here 


3  socialism somewhere
less then every where 
is really no where 

 qed 

  -------------------------


lemmas abound 
so we can play guns even
 under today's conditions

and just to show
 every flop has a flip
we usually don’t trust
 backward classes like peasants 
that is 
unless they're tribals
then we cult ooooh and aaah 

 when it comes
to the unarmed struggle
we go green 
and culturally 
we go progress 
if its humane stuff 
or 
we go anti progress
if it's material girl stuff

we are
 the revolutionary class 
cause 
e got the bright ideas 

everyone is really adjustible 
they all can be turned into
just like MEs
or more properly 
just like ME MEs 
  
 cause
 we got unlimited  human potential 
we got not only
 a  natureless humanity
we got 
a  total make remake humanity 
 
the erased states of mind 
can be rebuilt 
 in situ
as they one by one
 arrive
 thru the burgher klass portal 

once 
the order to dump programs 
goes out 
and the down load 
of the  new instructions
is completed 
and all 
the golden gateway instructions 
are in place

well then.......

-----------------------------

don’t see it well
lend an eye and an ear 
let us prove it to you
by more and more 
detailed visions 

we’ll prove 
how it all really can happen 

we got
 new new new
class proofing methods
  
 we got
 free through totalization 
 dialectical abrah kadabrahs 

we got 
group staged individuations

inner freedom coming outs
induced  by group  encounters 

nanosocieties got the beat  
self contained councils 
in twos they march through the future 
after the after here after 
what's out there up ahead 
let's day dream some more 
throw in a little prefiguation type
intentional institutions 
and shit 
my life ain’t so bad 

it would take a revolution 
to really improve 
my life alot

but you workwaged job jerks  
I really want
 to  improve your life now
if I can improve your life 
well for that it takes a revolution 
just to get off square one
but guys its doable 

but I'm more interested in the here after 

check thiz out
wage frog 
we can
all  have a really
 much better place 

here's the skinny 
imagine 
 we all get a slot
of our own
well actually 
 a pair of slots
on two diffy   councils

now 
these are councils 
like you never seen be4
 strictly lowerarchical councils 
all on the same level 
councils

with facilitating  machines
 between
 pulling it all together  

we all 
produce through a council
and
 we all 
consume through another council

the watch words

diversity thru collective choice 

free to leave  ( definitely )
free  to join ( maybe )
-------------------------------------------------
national liberation is a trap
 at very best a delay 
a false promise
 sure to be broken 
and leave its
usual tattoos
of despair

this is of course 
part and parcel
 of the leftolbers
 anti socialism 
in one country thang
same as 
the top state topple 
  nixes one stae socialism
it even poops on one state
populisms 

it's a network
 of mutually 
reinforcing constucts 

that
oh so nicely 
  hang
 in the air together 
suspended from 
 the big sky hook 
called 
wouldn’t it be loverly 

harmless ?

yes mostly 
after all petty burgers 
of all sorts
in and of themselves
 are most times harmless

its only 
the pleb head petty burger link
 that really soils
 the prole over movement
and leftoradiculos
never much fill pleb heads
especially
plebheads on prole shoulders 


==========================
 PARECON CONS


 i love their miasmas

and the silver rockets 
that burn thru them

 maners of 
bureaucracy and hierarchy 

THE COORDINATOR KLASS
the menace behind all stalin grins 

but for parecon its just 
poof
and 
 away pests

really 
a hierarchy of bureaus 
a coordinator klass 
can
all be  banished
 by mass participation 
 and computers
properly ordered
mas participation
some solid rules of play
and some super
 fastest imaginable
 putationary
 mix count match and sort 

call it 
mutual management 
self management
 plain clothes planning
call it what you will
its the jakes
pal
 
everyone plans for everyone 

everyone participates
on everything
everyone  
vote on every matter
  weights
 relative effects
does what only lucre 
bull whips
and swaps 
could do till now  
no markets no money 
only this is way better for uz


no stores no selling 
no hiring    

========================
 machines 
replace bureaus 

algorithms replace rules 

let the machines manage 

that's fair
 right 

then step by step
 you see them smuggle 
in the real world of today

 disguised as only
 its better half
 or
 with a nice new name 
or by upping
 to a more general description 
or simply
 by saying things 
have changed 
or
things will change 
human nature 
will produce 
a brand new season
 and never leave it 

we’re different now 
come the rev
 we'll self-glorify 

seeing as 
what curves 
often comes back at ya

these black terror tots 
come round the bend into 
 the white terror tots 

the extreme 
 free marketeers
the two booboise figmentators 

share a souless  compadres
   drink at the same trough of 
  mind sweetening  hog wash 

   the cloud nine splendor 
of a  stateless bliss 

 all mine and 
all yours at once  
--------------------------------------------
 see black is just white
 turned inside out 

  first Xers were white 
last Xers are black 

  add them up 
blend em in  
and all you got is

  jack dust 
sister sledge 

 jack dust 

  a gray generation 
that ain’t taking
their foot  off the dime 
they found lying on the sidewalk 
till they think
everyone's gone
 
they’re a marginal generation
  marginal 
in the sense of irrelevant 
   not avante guarde 
---------------------------------------
  
 because 
the chinese  cultural revolution  of 1967 
seems outside their purview
and paris prague chicago santiago
 are muld and puked out 
 so there’s no real 
  updating
  the Paris commune of 1871
 not for them 
nothing new except
everything 

 thru the experience 
of  history
one learns only to look forward
to newness 
the real   world wide struggle 
except as the grumble 
of the whole earth's
 hives 

voice sotto voce 
to all the 
endemic  discontent 
of exploited and oppressed
all  them roilin masses
al so lovingly but 
 ignorantly  
Radtype adored 

because 
when Rads of the libby left 
 do recollect events 
their renditions are 
transparencies
 revealing their
own babe fancies 
==================

take 
their accounts
 of the piedemonte in 1920
 and   catalonia in 1936  
are first 
refined
 into a delicate crystaline  essence
 and then  shaken over
today's global  klass struggle
  like tinker belle's dust 

because
they want 
to get there 
sort of like now 

so 
they prefigure

 instead of building
 a rev org 
and plunging 
into the movements
 of the hour 
instead of
  joining existing flows 
 
they form adventure klubs 
and good manners societies

the on the spot
 just for your edification..

see our model 
guys believe uz 
the whole earth
could all be just like this

boy do they dig 
exemplary set ups
the monky fuck offs

 
like say
 on the job site front 

imagine the tinker bellation here

start off with 
their  abolition
 of the system  
  of semi permanent assignments
abolition 
  of all personal "ownership" 
of   specialized activities

they’ve done it for years
at their very own book store
 so 
  its got to be 
 doable everywhere 
right

as if wagery
 as we now have it 
is a vicious anachronism 

like chattel slavery 

because 
in particular 
  the conflict between 
brain and hand 
is  immediately  resolvable
 or at least
 so readily  adulterated
 as to be  
 harmlessly vestigial 
===========================

because they believe
they can
 brake apart 
 the brain and  hand castes
  repeal the  doom effect 
of this age old contradiction 

  over night 


because 

the actual  historic record 
tells no binding  tales to them 

only shows 
what hapens if 
the  wrong guidelines
 are  followed 
and  wrong roads taken  
  the left Xers 
 fail totally to transcend 
the pleasing wishes 
of the utopian vision 

in fact at their self clearest
 this late  breed of Xers   embrace
 peter panism 
as badly as boomstockers did

 
 dreaming’s just 
another word
 for nothing we can do   


 a leveling and a reckoning 
 any time soon ?


  get real 
  in your life time 
  you’ll see
that 
  only in prefiguration Bub 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 state fairs 
 a fable of fools

(skip if bored
and you should be by now)



 man 
homo sapiens 

the earth's last
 and only remaining 
 hairless prime ape
 
let the record show 

 shim and heerm 
   lived most of their  history
 without states 
 

 seems that 
first there's
  3 million years
 of  natural and social  evolution
leading
 metaphorically speaking 
 to the solo 
bareape pair 
the humape 
TEAM OF
 EVE AND ADAM 

and then after heris
 arrival at natural consumation 
  at least another 
  100 thousand years 
of additional   humape  
 social development

in other words 
long after
 factured  tools 
controled   fires
wall paintings 
   and even after   religion 
 itself 

long after herim
reached self awareness

long after

herim  realized 
herim's  lot involved toil

even 
 AFTER THE AGRIAN REVOLUTION 
AND THE CURSE OF CAIN 

comes the state 

 in other words 
 the state emerges
 in human social development 
 LONG AFTER 
HERIM  GAINED AWARENESS 
OF ADAM'S CURSE    

SEEMS CLOSE TO THINGS REAL TO SAY 
the   time from Adam to Nimrod 
including the bottle neck
 noah passage 
was at least 100 thousand years 

only then  did the social  world of states 
the world of Babel  begin to emerge 
  
 
origins of NIMROD ‘S CURSE 

class society’s march to statehood  
  starts
 as distinctions
 between the economic tasks 
of  members of pre class  societies
over time and thru stages 
these distinctions
slowly  evolved
  into each and every
 different   household’s 
 permanent assignments
 
assignments which 
 produced and reproduced
  themselves as 
 the differential  heritage and prospects  
of  these  households 

only when society found itself permanently cloven
 into distinct economic  classes
 in particular into classes of 
  producers and non producers 

exploiters and exploited 

only then 
did human societies 
find the use and need of states

 NB certain types of
 slavery clearly 
 predates the state

and that was because only then 
did society require 
full time soldiers 
to reproduce itself 
 as a social system

 a social system 
 cloven by class antagonisms
cloven by  class exploitation

the river of no return
was crossed 
with 
the needed use 
of specialized
  armed might 
and when it finally 
replaced 
 the force
 of the whole
 of  society  itself  
in arms    
==========================
  after this crossing
 societies'  exploiting class 
has an  armed force 
at its beck and call
sugar coated perhaps
by a flow of captives booty and conquest
just as the rulers own idleness
is rouged up  
with anover lay 
 of sacred duties
mumbo jumbo
to ease along their
administration 
and 
to preserve 
and sanctify
their position 
atop that society 

( by the way 
 else where this here
 pinky plans
to  show theidler-exploiters
 "real worth "
 to their societies
and why
 they weren't
 thrown out as fakes
 on day two
 of
their fucking
 klass cloven coventry
scam)
=====================

at any rate 
now one  class is 
itself  a  paramount force 
within
 and potentially against 
 restless under- sections  of  society 
 
let's call this second curse 
this  curse of exploitation 

the  curse of Nimrod  

after the mythical builder
 of the tower of babel 
that symbol of city civilization 
and the state 
------------------------------------------------------
 not to scoop myself but in passing
let me add 
  
state societies exist
 because over enough time 
they not only survive 
they thrive they expand 
they conquer

 over the last 6000 years 
state societies have   out perform
 all  potential competing 
non state societies 
  
 ruling alien classless
 conquering  hordes
 are no exception 

what a common place
 of burger historiography 
it is 
to point out 
from alien conquers
 it's but a matter of 
a generation or two  
till they become 
an assimilated  ruling caste 
or merge into the older 
indigenous
 master class 
=========================
 was the state inevitable 

 does the curse of adam 
mean we get nimrod some day
is it only a matter of when

loks that way

when one considers 
the second coming of the state 
in the new world

unfortunately
all too often
the  history
of class societies on earth 
 fails to give
 the millions
 of   independent examples
  of its origins 
beloved of all  empirical science
in history 
we  rarely see enough data 
 to confirm the laws of social motion
the way we confirm the laws life itself
confirmations
 bolstered by a probabilty
 based on  thousands
 of independent observations
 so many confirmations 
that  
 we can confidently accept 
the laws we've induced as truelaws
 at least as far as they go 
and all of this 
 with out knowing 
ultimate
 inner most workings

well 
at least 
in the case of the state
we do have 
a second
independent
 observation

this same emergence  
 
 the klass based state 

 happened independently 
at least  one other time  
 beyond its emergence
 in the old world 
 

and that
second independent
 emergence was 
quite a while later 
  in the new world

not a clincher
 but maybe  a closer 

at any rate heres the conjecture
 
 “ we were bound for state hood ”
                                            lewis henry morgan 
and the proof 

  “the state 
like the Mormon Christ
 appeared 
  not just once 
but twice
the  second time  in the Americas 
  nearly
 5  thousand years after the first   ” 
                          Fidel  Castro
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in short to repeat 

 the state exists 
 because  class exploitation
requires a permanent armed  force 
to keep what's going down going down  

all  lefties doubtless agree so far 

with the curse of nimrod 
toiling hands now 
 not only support themselves 
 but a class of   
untoiling  hands
as well 

  the curse of nimrod lifts the curse of adam
 but only for a few 
and only by doubling the curse on the rest 

eventually or gradually 
  unproductive  hands
are  made the  rightful possessors 
of a share of production 
by the transubstantiation 
of filtch  into Equititable sacrifice 
 

plunder into privilege 
 
all worthy state societies 
develop  ideologies
 that  find ways to  swing this  

in fact they usually
find its best to  
transubstantiate  stuff  into  
 as few hands as possible 
so those precious few  hands 
 can shower  some of  it back 
 as tokens of  their grace
 to the members of the various 
producing and nonproducing 
  orders  below them  
hence  
the emergence 
of the accursed middle strata
  
======================

but 
now comes forth 
the libertarians  
ready to shout foul 

right here at day one
 of class society 
the liberation cry 
comes belowing forth 
 
the secret of class  history
 is revealed 
exploitation needs a state 

solution kill the state 
and restore 
 all the fruits to the sweaters 

if yer libradrevy
that's all it takes

so  
abolish the state
 and organized legal force 

now that we all can see 
the emperor has no clothes 
 flash  
all  social horrors  vanish 

is this 
a fair cartoon brethren 
of the  leftlibertarian  
church eschatology 
 or too simple ?
 
      the love of volitional relations 

   the hatred of the state

 the abolition of exploiting  class relations  

finally    the death of that  Manachean boxing ring 
 we call the capitalist marketplace  

 abolish the state 
and
presto
   the multitude’s  earth
is the multitude’s  heaven 


the good times have  
arrived baby 
---------------------------------------------------------


rules of engagement 
 
1  properties formed 
by the simple  exchange of the products 
 of one man's sweaty  brow 
for another sweaty man's produce 
  is each  party’s proper  property

 markets without wages 
or wages without markets 

only labor shares
and communal projects 
allowed 
cashless  effort  credits perhaps 
 mediations of a non commercial ilk 
  councils of production
 soviets of consumption 

 participate 
participate 

 this is the great liberating  command
 of the new  prophets 

stand up 
stand in 
just don’t 
stand out 
and 
 fair and golden days 
will be your days  folks 

o
r are we  missing   
 both the visible
and invisible  hand jobs
 here some where 

maybe all  the Christian to Crusoe 
one man band raves 
are delusional projections 

“ now   we can fly solo or in  combo 
without flying bizness or tourist or first class ”


 all such pollyanna  movements 
think they have  a solid  grasp 
of specialization in production 
  a solid grasp and a way
 to ride the beast in classless  peace  

 they don’t really 

 they like to think  voluntary exchange
or double dome planning 
or snake charming 
or or or 
whatever 
can  do all the heavy lifting 
that is 
if we could just 
nonviolently  end the state 
and 8000 years of bad habits 


well suspicions lead 
to
 the conclusion  

these soulful spirits 
 haven’t gone far enough
in their dreams

 to hit the far wall 

here's my version of that far wall 
 

 even the  fundamental notion of cooperation 
taken all the way 
 to where it really exists
 like the genii’s wish 

 fatally  fouls their tale  
with its full consequences 

we end up
 either back in the USA 
 or the USSR 

 cooperation
  contains enough possible
 magnifying  scale effects 
and  when combined
 with specialization

you got  trouble babes
 trouble in green valley

EVEN IF YOU FORGET THE DAMN MACHINES  

 exhibit A :
 peaceful toiling land 
every one
 under curse adam

still we toil we sweat 
 but no curse nimrod  allowed 

 suddenly  man in home spun  spandex 
addresses crowd of goodly toilers 
after a too  long day at the hay rakes 

“ guys here’s a way to sweat a lot  less
and still eat bread galore ” 

  a small  bunch hurry off stage  after mr spandex  

 very very short  historic interval later 

 these same oafish  shirkers 
  reappear  
 and announce 

“ we are fighting specialists
  and as a sizeable  enough 
coordinated  shit load
 we greet you as friends 
......well maybe as friends  
that is   as long as
   all yo peaceful geeks 
 give us half your stuff
  then fuck go ahead 
party hardy mates 
 but if we have to ask twice 
 then regrettably 
 you may get a taste of our specialty ”  

 end of voluntary transactions 
tell me how
 it won’t happen 
  in the anarchoeden?
 remember 
the  war in heaven
 fallen angels etc etc 
====================

  scale effects and assymetric specializations 
 are the enemy  of libertarian fantasies
  the enemy of  stateless free market  peace and equity

 unfortunately it seems to be a law of class societies
 that a state can find a way to make itself useful enough
 to hang on after the primal shake down

   they don’t even  have to claim divine support  
  order and final decisioning  alone 
work as well as irrigation canals 
and moon walking rain makers 

all  higher public  goods  can serve
 a low slung   R C  purpose

  ( by the way  RC is  for ruling class
 a little something 
we liked  calling the blue meanies 
back in the early seventies )

  obviously public benefit 
can  serve to perpetuate 
 oppression and exploitation  
 if it's well managed 

cooperation and  specialization without hierarchy 
 five workers better then four workers and a boss 

nuts charlie !


  even in a market world  
  the statelies 
using the binding power 
of collective actionation 
 may be able to
 pareto improve things 
for the wigget people 
and
 still have a nice swallow  or two 
 left over for themselves  

play out all the output advantages 
 that's implied by 
hierarchy  cooperation specialization 
  and tilt 

give ME  some of that state brewed  stuff 
will ya pal 

by the way

don't need new bottles these are burgers
there are no new classes after the rev
 only the same old ones
  

============================

 it's 7 samurai time  in the worker’s paradise 

 “ we need one of our own armed forces
   kids ”

ofcourse most non Pointdexters 
kind of intuitively get this 

 the spine  of the state is a gun barrel
 make a rumpus and you’ll soon find 
you want one you can 
 call your own 


and red army means red state 
means red party

check out
 the anarcho army in spain 
back in the thirties
mostly despite bravery 
and high minds
  a danger only to itself 
-----------------------------------------------------



leftlibbers
hope
 if a person can keep his
 or her labor product 
  and markets are voluntary and maybe losers get a subsidy 
  from a vat tax system .......

  then there’s  the shares in a coop 
 what's fair if the product is a composition of tasks 
  the free rider   or the far more common 
plain old  underweight pulling slug   

  time money leads by dialectical magic 
to its extreme exact  opposite
 a  pope of production 

 it's all an attempt to do the impossible 
 split the good of the market  from the bad
 
   keep the quantity and  quality results of specialization 
 without the catastrophically omnipresent 
  accidental  inequities of  real market valuations
 
private exchange without polarization from the scale effects 
  and the uneven task changes over time in any product process
 no jubilee reshuffle without the state 

 the good of impersonal markets separated from the bad 
 
beggars’  horses are simply  wishes that eat oats 

-------------------------------
forgetting externals and collective goods 
insurance   and  credit and a pant load else 
cut out machines and use only free plentiful tools 
wish what we will  for raw materials 
and all we need is to do the labor  

if you could count our bricks made every day 
piece work
scaleless  production 
 one man at a time could build the pyramids 
so long as they kept at it 
100000 man hours over ten weeks 
 at 10 hrs per man per day 
140 men 
  1 man 27 years 

but do ten bricks equal 4 or 3.4  boards or 2 pounds of wool yarn or or 
  just price yields to market price 
guild to factory 
  maker to tasks 
 iron smith to tasks to divided  task 
divided doers 
==================

hi ho negri  

is it  spring time
 for a brand neeeeew
freedom class-creative class-symbol class ?  


it ain't a mirage
 but it is 
a simple repro of the past
 in new tech sneakers 

  symbol workers
 have trouble 
because they haven’t seen
 their product  world   
fully rationalized yet 
by the capos

they will

but till then
 they can fantasize
about their freeco ways 


 the image of petty liberties
at the expanding margins
 of the kapo
production system 
has a wonderful reincarnation cycle

I call em 
kropotikin's heros
avatars
 of the old feudal
 petty burgers
AND ITS IN 
THE BLUEPRINTS 
OF CHANGE
THAT 
these types
 keep on popping 
out of the" tasks"
created to complete
the  newest sectors
 of technical progress

a momentary space 
still a fronteer of freedom
 where ya kin still make up at least sme
of yer own  rules
a zone at the edge of tomorrow

a  liberty infested
 zone still
UN- transformed
by direct capo redesigns


a fun and sun far country ever 
on the close
 existing  only
in the forward shadow
 of the
oncoming capitalist wave

perhaps even 
already
capitalized but still technically 
 pre-Revolutionary


example
 of surgery 
specialization

I'll
 leave 
this for you 
 as an independent report
you can submit 
o yourself

some hints

  potential scale 
partly  patient mobility 

   then there’s technical innovation
product and process .....blah blah

go to it tommy

========================

pompous sum up :

  THE STATE 
HAS IT'S LEGAL  BASIS
IN THE MONOPOLIZATION
 OF THE  LEGITIMATE
 USE 
OF  LARGE SCALE FORCE   
BEYOND 
IMMEDIATE SELF DEFENSE 

 A RIGHT ASSIGNED 
TO A SPECIAL 
 STANDING  FORCE
  ABLE TO OVER AWE
 THE SUBJECT  MULTITUDE

  amen
