In Lockdown town.
I went for a walk twice today. Felt like a dirty criminal. Felt like a gambler, betting on the chance I can breathe clean air twice in one day. Pandemic roulette.
It rained again. The ground betrayed me, it had been collecting water. Building little mirrors in the lane, reflecting a world of decreased possibility. A world slowly and inexorably funnelling us toward a point of conflict. War is coming. Class war.
Don't let the bastards win.
They've been winning for too long.
Labour are useless. What good is an opposition leader that refuses to call out a broken government? If now is not the time for a fundamental change then when?
Starmer and is cabinet of dust are just the safe hands capital will turn to when this ends. They will attempt to stifle our outrage; co-opt our voice. We are not your puppets within which you can throw your voice, sir.
There must be nothing less than the removal of this government - and a better world. If Starmer and his lazybones crew can't give that to us then they can fuck off too. The working class has only had one group to look after itself - the working class. They may have created the NHS and the welfare state byt they had to bribe a lot of privateers to get that done. No more. No magic money to grease the bottom lines of evicted capitalists.
Let them burn.
This situation is strained. We sit in our homes and suddenly they are no longer enough for us. Hearts are bursting. Lives are ending. But something is beginning. People will have questions after this. Why has this happened? Where were our leaders? Where was the moron we elected not three months prior? Answers must be forthcoming. People must be made to understand the truth of what has happened.
Don't be distracted by the apologists for capital and their "lockdown will ruin the economy" bullshit either. That's a distraction; it's intended to refocus your thinking away from justified anger. It's also a fallacious argument. It isn't lockdown or pandemic. It's both. Yes the economy will suffer. People will suffer. Both are happening. Both could have been avoided, across the world at every stage. At the very least, when Britain was placed in the crosshairs, more could have been done. That it wasn't was a conscious choice. A product of capitalist arrogance. Yes capitalism is at the rotten stagnant heart of this tragedy. If we do not fight we will pay the price, but with what? Austerity has taken the gas out of the tanks. This is endgame.
Fight or die. Don't argue for lockdown OR Covid. Fight for a better economic system and a stronger socdiety beucase that is the only armour against pandemic.
And fucking losers like this
