I decided to start my own blog, but don't worry! I'll still be over at Cognitive Dissidence to harass Cap and Jeff from time to time. We all know they couldn't make it without me! Just kidding, guys! Visit them everyday! They're a bunch of badasses :)
This blog is dedicated to current events from my socialist point of view with an equal mix of snarky and funny. I live in Wisconsin, so expect lots of breaking news about Scott Walker, as we know hos he is with "following the laws." However, before I go any further, let's put out a little disclaimer here. When Republicans, conservatives and Tea Party fundies scream and shout about socialism, they're usually referring to the "socialism" of the Soviet Union.You know, Stalin, gulags, mass industrialism, gray skies, sadness. Those things are not socialism. I find myself having to explain this time and again, that when I say I'm a socialist, I'm not referring to Stalin, because he himself was not one. The Soviet Union after Lenin died, and Trotsky was exiled, was authoritarianism. China is not socialist! What kind of socialist country would be the Land of Sweatshops and laws against unions? Oh wait...hey that kind of sounds like Tea Party heaven....
Also, North Korea? not socialist. Okay, did I clear that up? Wheew, great!
I really love writing, it's been a passion of mine since I as a kid, and I love putting it to good use informing people of current events and keeping people abreast of right-wing extremism and right-wing shenanigans. I will put all of myself into it and I hope you all get as much out of it as you can.
Happy reading!
