Manchester: Don't get use to it

   In light of recent events that have taking place in the Britain with the terrorist attack I have to say that I’m shocked at some of the British News Casters and even some of there political leaders who are telling the people that they’ll “just gave to get use to it.” Use to terrorism, use to having children killed, use to living in constant fear. I don’t see how any person part of any society can actually offer that as a solution. If these people really feel that way then they are just as much part of the problem as these terrorists are.

  Every culture has the right to protect itself from annihilation, every culture that includes Europeans. The idea or concept that some people feel contrary or they feel that their culture is not worth saving is one that seems to be probing the minds of many of the youth. It’s ok to have dreams of a borderless, moneyless society but this does not mean you should sacrifice that you are in order to achieve Utopia. If anything you should preserve your own uniqueness while also taking steps to assure that the entire world is on an equal footing. What is happening now is a direct affront to the open world utopian dream that many in Europe and the U.S. seem to want to create. This is a challenge to that dream and if you do nothing but allow these elements to do this sort of petty childishness then your dream, hopes for the future mean nothing because you have condemned the future to misery.

   In my opinion it’s high time that the governments of the world ban together and take car of this problem ounce and for all. Ignoring it wont help the solution that’s a form of condoning. Saying words of sympathy is not enough anymore the people deserve better. These problems are not new they have been around since WW1 but they have never been properly dealt with its time to deal with them or as so many suggest simply live in fear.

  The solution will either come from the government or the people themselves.

  To all the people in Manchester don’t lose hope or sight of what’s really important that life is a beautiful thing to behold and that fear is not an option. If Boston Massachusetts can overcome such tragedy so too can you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Pine Nuts on the floor (Poetic Rant)

Why you Muslims doing this?

Why you Muslims doing that?

You know your religion is backward

You know you hate women

You know that Jesus dies for you

Wait now...hold up... reverse

Why am I being demonized because

Others who share my faith are wigging out

Due to colonial brainwashing but you leave that out

Never seeing your contribution to the problem

Convinced yourselves you're the solution

Really.. is that so..

Let's go ask the Native Americans

Let's go ask the slaves that hung in trees

Lets go ask every indigenous peoples 

See if they speak Highly about you

Oh wait.. that was then... Oh really?

Has anyone made amends?

Righted any of the wrongs?

Just because you want to walk away

Doesn't mean the past is forgotten ok

Karma doesn't view history as you do

Research for a minute all that you have done

Holding the banner waving the cross

Then maybe you will see 

The deranged damage your people have done

Including never excluding the KKK 

Now back to the matter at hand

What's going on isn't nothing new

Started back in 1941

Escalating since then to now

How do you fight a colonial power?

Through terrorism

But until both sides come clean

Living this G.I. Joe cartoon dream

Nothing will be resolved

Hate will simply evolve

To the next generation

Morphing into another situation

Blood, guts, and no one wins

I hate to break it to you

We Muslims are not a monolith

Not some robotic hive mind

We're just like you

Over a billion people is a diverse group

So stop and think before you ask these questions

As if I should somehow know

How terrorist work 

Maybe you should just ask them

I'm on the same face as the planet as you

Wondering the same damn thing

How can people take something as beautiful as Islam

Turn it into an ugly nullification

How can people take something as beautiful as Islam

Turn it into an ugly nullification

Anarchism: In the age of terrorism

 The word Terrorism is thrown around a lot these days and I know many of us shrill at its use because we understand that one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Having said this I will define terrorist as anyone or group who attacks civilians or innocent people instead of their true enemies the centralized government. Lets be real that is the aim of these groups but instead of attacking in a more straight on way they are doing it through other more circular means. That’s the difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist is that a true freedom fighter goes after those doing the oppression on the masses not attacking the masses in order to get to the oppressor who sees the masses as nothing more than collateral damage though they may mime otherwise with poetic gestures as long as they are relatively safe they really don’t care how many innocent people these terrorist kill.  That may sound a bit depression to some but it is the obsolete truth.

A question that keeps coming my way is how would an anarchist society deal with such a crisis? Before I begin I would like to point out that as I write this there are anarchist in the middle-east and other parts of the world actually going toe to toe with these terror groups and making more headway than most of our current “Big Brother Savior” countries who seem to be a bit hand tied. To answer the question is not easy since if anarchist did take over they would have to deal with what the Capitalistic world left behind. This may cause Anarchist to take measures they may not have otherwise done if they came into a clean sleight. If Anarchist did take over (either with a clean slate or when they straightened the mess left behind) the first thing that would be hard for terrorist groups is that all centralization would be gone leaving very few areas worth attacking. The entire country would become a huge spider web with lose affiliations here and there but no central buildings, no Olympic size events, no gluttons shopping mauls, all that would be gone no matter what form of Anarchism prevailed. Another factor would be that the police would disappear but everyone would be armed so even if a terrorist did kill or blow something up they would be met with an entire community of armed citizens ready to fire upon them. The reason why terrorism can operate so well is that centralized governments need people unarmed so that they can pretend to defend them though in reality they can do nothing of the sort. In a society were everyone is armed, self-sufficient, and heavily scaled back there would be nothing of strategic value.

A main difference would be that an Anarchist society would pull out of the world economy and the ever-increasing globalization. Terrorism is an exact out come of the meddling of the so-called civilized world forcing its will on other parts of the globe in the name of progress. Anarchists are not going to invade other countries nor will they ally themselves with those who would wish to drag them into wars. Like Sweden Anarchist would allow the world at large to destroy itself as long as they were left in peace. The only way that Anarchist would have to be in a conflict would be in self defense which means the war would have to meet them on their own soil that would always give the Anarchists the home advantage. Now individual Anarchist may fight (as they have in the past) in various causes but an entire society would not be thrown into the jaws of war based on what a few people believe or want. The main reason is that is a form of coercing which is in direct violation of what Anarchists believe.

Some may be wondering about a military the truth is everyone would be the Military in a sense because everyone would be trained to use guns, those who want to learn to fly airplanes would be taught (along with submarines and whatever else is needed) so you would have all the advantages of a Military just not one that is outstanding. The heart of Anarchism is education that encompasses not only the basics of our current education such as Art, Science, English, History, etc but also an education in practical ability of self-reliance like farming, fishing, self-defense in all its forms, and above all the appreciation of life not as something to grudge through like so many people do today but an appreciation to experience every second of life. Since an Anarchist society will not value money, or any commodity over human life, as well as animal life and nature as a whole the value of life will skyrocket and be the way it was many thousands of years ago. Anarchism is the only philosophy that puts life above everything else. Anything that infringes a being from enjoying life is not allowed making them more willing to defend what they have from those who whish to steal it from them.

Terrorism can only exist in world were life is not appreciated but objects and commodity are. As long as countries invade other countries in order to take oil, gold, or simply to impose there will on others you will always have terrorism because you always had terrorism. Terrorism is a natural product of a Capitalistic commodity over life society just like the criminal is a product of the same atmosphere.

Some may read this and say its too idealist too Utopian but that’s because they have lived there lives in a corrupt society and Anarchism is a complete opposite of the world we currently dwell in. Anarchism as a whole if one takes the chance to look into it is actually the most practical way of existing that it shunned simply because it is too practical and those with alternative ideas of greed and temporary power do all they can to stop the masses from learning the truth about Anarchism.

Anarchism is not the enemy of the people it is the enemy of those who try to own and control the people.
