scaling the new great wall (aka walmart )


the wall the wall the wall 

that mart of martz 


   like ole mocha dick

    we rally agin her


          " bring to heel  
          sam's mighty whale  "


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

 u  
   see endless tarticles
       frantic to write up
the latest   Rx
 
    " how to  org a  WALL "

 most of its
but jeffersonian hot air 

 goo goo camp drills 
---------------------------------
yes 

there's an out front
            for every inside job


so i get why 
       ya 
want to do some front work 

fine 

then scrap the long shoes 
with the curled toes 
and 
the cap with the sleigh bells 

and  try somethin diff

try this bucket of guile 
from
kommandant mol tse's  
fresh idea well ......


----------------------------------------
 okay yer back 
convinced i hope
about 
the efficacy 
of a 
 
WALLED IN 
wal- JOBBSTER 
SOLIDARITY 
"JUST HERE
SHOPPIN " PIN 

BUT LETZ
LEAVE THE SCENE 
OF such a campaign 
LET EM  
SET  up IN THE PARKING LOTZ
around existing wall boxes 

THEY HARDLY NEED US RIGHT?....
 

prolly THAT'LL 
 go way deeper
into  poor wagery kommunity mindsets

MAYBE EVEN
open wide the org throttle

ONCE LASHED TOGETHER WITH 
A DECENT  
free speech on site 
              ASSAULT ...............

ANY WAY 
letz at least  create
           some  problems
                       for
                              the WALL 

 expansion block outs 
BY LOCAL ZONING BOARDS  
and 
community comsumer   boycotts 

eventually fail

cause 
 the wall
like water  
may flow  along 
the paths of least resistence

but she gets to everywhere 
she  needs to go 

trying to prevent her from  
playing locality off on locality ...........

thats a suckers game 

---------------------------------------------
here's a recent piece of mo jo 
along these lines




----------- first a solid technical point
is made
               on wal marts shrewd
                              "speeemheadism "------------------

" Wallllll-Mart spokespeople have denied 
that the company
encourages employees
 to collect public assistance,
 but
the documents speak for themselves. 
They bear 
the Wal-Mart logo,
 and one is labeled 
"Wal-Mart:
Instructions for Associates
 applying to Social service  Agencies." 


------------- a campaign
to prove the community net lose
thru allowing a walmart next door 
          exceeds my  attention span 
and may haps some other folks too

i.e.i'd save this anti WAL  thrust for the poli - wonkers "----------------



----------and yet tis true ....------------------- 


 "Public assistance is very clearly
part of the retailer's cost-cutting strategy."
 
--------------- so righto ITS sickening 
but then ain't it so for
the  whole corporate system  ??? !!!!! ----------------------------


" the complicity of both parties 
in Wal-Mart's power
                 over workers points
 to the need 
for a politics
 that
squarely challenges corporate greed
-----------hip hip ---------------
 and takes the side
of ordinary people. "
----------hoo rahhhhhhhhhhhh ---------

" that kind of politics seems, at
present, strongest at the local level."

-------------- the hot  balloon also rises 
imagine we kan take out the profiteers at town meetings --------------------------



" Earlier this year, labor and community groups in
Chicago prevented Wal-Mart from opening a store on the
city's South Side,
in part by pushing through an
ordinance that would have forced the retailer to pay
a "living " wage  

--------------hmmmmmmmmmmm  okayzo
  but why  not raise 
 by referendum 
the state wide 
       
        wage min much higher 
for firms with  say 
                 over 
          1000 in state  employees  ----------------------

 In Hartford,
Connecticut, 
labor and community advocates 
just won
passage of an ordinance
 protecting their free speech
rights on the grounds
 of the new Wal-Mart Supercenter,
which is being built on city property.


--------------------here's a real issue 
butfuck 
notice the crutch of the  "built on public land" bull 

no  the way forward generally
 is by hundreds of mahatma - esque
             martyrdoms 

set off
a jobakzee free speech 
           wal-job site action 
that oughta lead
 to the proper level of  mass firings 

send 
a wave crossing from coast to coast
  nation wide 

do that 
and you're 
sure to hit the network news
by mid  country  --------------------






" Similar battles
are raging nationwide
 but Wal-Mart's opponents don't
usually act with as much coordination 
as Wal-Mart does,"

----------- right on !!!!(see above)   --------------------

"and they lack the retail behemoth's
 deep pockets."

-------------  non sense 
 "vampaigns " like thiz 
are about "story  smarts"
   not about  funding ---------------

"With this in mind, SEIU president
 Andy Stern has
recently been calling attention
 to the need for better
coordination
and funding
of labor and community
anti-Wal-Mart efforts"

------shit andy's gang ?

why 
those purple pea shooters 
couldn't organize
 a ladies' hat rack

that iz 
unless it
was  half public property 
or built around 
profit on a cost plus basis
or  non  competes
or NPO type 
"we do diz just fer laffz"
" including 
 taking an intentional shit
 on itself now and then " -----------------------------

" Stern has proposed that the
AFL-CIO allocate $25 million
 of its royalties
 from
purchases on its Union Plus credit card
toward fighting
Wal-Mart and the "Wal-Martization"
of the great American work place "

------------ get thiz 
santa  andy 's 
  sez
letz
take
our pie card  usury cream  
and  fill a  bailing pot 
         for the least of uzzzz wagerys 
out therein wal marterland  ----------------------

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

--later after the stern flush --------------------
 
" but if we required
employers to pay a living wage....."

--------- balloon now flying over the moon ----------


-----------  till thiz rock is struck ------------
 
" walmart  knows 
what labor's up to 
and it hires lobbyists 
in Washington to vigorously
fight any effort at such reforms"

------------ what reforms ?---------------

"indeed, Wal-Mart has
recently beefed up
 political infrastructure
substantially,
 and it's likely 
that its presence in
                   Washington 
will only grow more conspicuous"

------------ right 
so as my grand dad used to say:

"when they own the circus
stay in the jungle"
 
sure 
every one knows
ya gotta  beat em
       " guerrilla style "

 but baby
no matter how ferocious 
    you look and act 
no  one getz 
scared  shitless  
   by  whats bein   performed 
          in the center ring ----------------

"thiz The situation won't change by itself "

------------------------ amen --------------------


    ------------ o h here's a wild note ...-------------


" In Germany, unions
are powerful enough
 to force Wal-Mart 
 to play by their
        rules."

 -------- not so fast buster brown 
as things 
are headed now
the rules are about 
to change big time 

keep tuned 

 we may soon see  
a  new free market
          wal market   germany

yup

the fugger-fuckersat 
the euro center 
have it all drafted  up....

and 
the new wall 
fits in perfectly

 
the worker fleece has begun
on  
schedule
 
no one can 
long   rise up 

while 
watched over
by  
a system 
of iron plated 
rusty riveted  
ruhr valley 
 scare crows 
the world once called 

" mighty germany's industrial
                 heart land " 

and after that.....
who pushes who ?

just u watch geepers 

 krautish platz
  is about to get  
the make over 
of a lifetime


bigger 
and badder 
then even 
frowzzy britannia got 
under 
the honey  haired
super stacked   
duchess of discipline 
                  ---------------------

  
its global


at least  first world
global


they iz all gettin trimmed
                      kidz

goin from 
  "give back"- 
              socialization 

                   to" razor back" democracy 
 
                      yup  
   till   
  "this here whole  
 family of man "

         is  up for sale

                " by the hour  "
