We will hang the rich from their houses
There is an old man running around Kankakee with that as a tattoo on his arm. He calls himself a "Bomb-Throwing Anarchist". Hayley's seen him once when he came into PetCo to buy some stuff for a sound garden. My friend Jessie, who comments sometimes here at The Weblog, had a conversation with him at The Chicago Dough Company. I, however, have not met him.
Still I think that tattoo is pretty bad-ass and I want to hang the rich from their houses just as much as he does. That is, as long as the rich aren't really people and then it gets pretty fuzzy. Still, I'll admit it, I think that sniper rifle kicks ass! I don't know, maybe if I had a Lenin to lead me... Does anyone agree with me when I think it is very odd that this man is always seen in some marketplace or other?
The term Anarchist is very odd. I know many people who hold that it is more of a libertarian (ie. stupid) political ideology and then there is organizations like Crimethinc. that basically runs itself on Communist/Christian principles. Of course, they are super into deconstruction so they look really fluid and you can't quite get a bead on them (Good for them!). I know Emma Goldman, the most famous American Anarchist, didn't like Marxism and Marxist didn't like the Anarchist of his day but they seem to be a lot like the proletariat that Marx hoped for.
If you feel like being angry you should watch this video, but it is relatively disturbing albeit not the most graphic. Afterwards you should read this comic, it will make you feel better.
I've mainly babbled in this post, which is odd considering my most eloquent posts are done at 3 am and it's only 5 pm. Oh yeah, and there are now only 6 days of Birthday shopping before I turn 21 and remember Jesus and I are only 7 days apart which has to mean something good! Oh and support Adam as well, though he is much too shy to ask on his own behalf. I would say support Robb, but he is actually a nice guy and I can't find an Amazon wishlist.
Seriously though you think it is easy to write on this thing everyday? We aren't paid in comments! And by the looks of the job market for PhD's Adam and I both will be working in some God-forsaken office until we go crazy (Robb will have then sold his soul to Satan and be the overlord of the history department at Olivet), renounce our pacifism, and go on a shooting spree the likes of a Bush Christmas in an Alaskan wildlife reserve! Which brings me back to the original title of the post, we need to hang the rich so I can have their money, now that I see that I don't need a Lenin I just need that kick-ass sniper rifle.
