“Slavery may change its form or its name—its essence remains the same. Its essence may be expressed in these words: to be a slave is to be forced to work for someone else, just as to be a master is to live on someone else's work. In antiquity, just as in Asia and in Africa today, as well as even in a part of America, slaves were, in all honesty, called slaves. In the Middle Ages, they took the name of serfs: nowadays, they are called wage earners. The position of this latter group has a great deal more dignity attached to it, and it is less hard than that of slaves, but they are nonetheless forced, by hunger as well as by political and social institutions, to maintain other people in complete or relative idleness, through their own exceedingly hard labor. Consequently, they are slaves. And in general, no state, ancient or modern, has ever managed or will ever manage to get along without the forced labor of the masses, either wage earners or slaves, as a principal and absolutely necessary foundation for the leisure, the liberty, and the civilization of the political class—the citizens.” ~ Mikhail Bakunin
screenshot of scientific american article by Steven W. Thrasher: there is nothing normal about one million people dead from covid - mass media and policy makers are pushing for a return to pre-covid times while trying to normalize a staggering death toll image: a person sits on a bench amongst a field of white flags each representing a person who died from covid in the upper left of the image, sitting amongst the flags, is bernie sanders in his winter coat & surgical mask, sitting on a folding chair with his arms crossed
🍵😶 ... this has me thinking about how much more establishment figures have come out performing as 'socialists' but/& offering only a return to a more 'benign' subjugation under the status quo where nothing has fundamentally changed,,

🍵😶 i think it's unreasonable to expect our society & institutions will uphold principles & rights which we ourselves are unwilling to uphold & assert;
our communities, society, & institutions do not exist apart from our embodiment of them,, 🤌🏼👀

🍵😶 ... taking a step back, it really seems the general tone of quiet resignation in response to being pushed 'back to normal' into this ongoing pandemic, even when one's life's being put at risk, was important in setting the stage for this fatalism,, 🤷🏼♂️

🍵😶 ... i think the people who embody public health
recognize the difference, much as we do;
whether we choose to embody that difference
is the fundamental question
seems important to ask why we've not chosen thriving,, 🤷🏼♂️
