classic tax protest
During
the Vietnam War, one woman claimed seventy-nine dependents on her
United States income tax, all Vietnamese orphans, so she owed no tax.
They were not legal dependents, of course, so were disallowed. No,
she insisted, these children have been orphaned by the indiscriminate
United States bombing; we are responsible for their lives. She
forced the Internal Revue Service to take her to court. That gave
her a larger forum for making her case. She used the system against
itself to unmask the moral indefensibility of what the system was
doing. Of course she 'lost' the case, but she made her point.

The writing-pad in which Rilke drafted the Tenth Elegy includes this note: “Art cannot be helpful through our trying to help and specially concerning ourselves with the distresses of others, but in so far as we bear our own distresses more passionately, give, now and then, a perhaps clearer meaning to endurance, and develop for ourselves the means of expressing the suffering within us and its conquest more precisely and clearly than is possible to those who have to apply their powers to something else.”
“Nowadays we aren't allowed to use the word mad. What lunacy. The few psychiatrists I respect always talk about people being mad. Use the short, simple, true words. Dead, I say, and dying, and mad, and adultery. I don't say passed on, or slipping away, or terminal (oh, he's terminal? Which one? Euston, St Pancras, the Gare St Lazare?), or personality disorder, or fooling around, bit on the side, well she's away a lot visiting her sister. I say mad and adultery, that's what I say. Mad has the right sound to it. It's an ordinary word, a word which tells us how lunacy might come and call like a delivery van.
Terrible things are also ordinary. Do you know what Nabokov said about adultery in his lecture on Madame Bovary? He said it was 'a most conventional way to rise above the conventional'.”
Julian Barnes. Flaubert's Parrot.
Flaubert, 1847: “You had hoped to find in me a fire which scorched and blazed and illuminated everything; which shed a cheerful light, dried out damp wainscoting, made the air healthier and rekindled life. Alas! I'm only a poor nightlight, whose red wick splutters in a lake of bad oil full of water and bits of dust.”
Flaubert: “I feel, against the stupidity of my time, floods of hatred which choke me. Shit rises to my mouth as in the case of a strangulated hernia. But I want to keep it, fix it, harden it; I want to concoct a paste with which I shall cover the nineteenth century, in the same way as they paint Indian pagodas with cow dung.”

Greece: Anarchists from Rouviconas collective attacked on Wednesday and smashed the offices of “Teiresias”, that co-operates with banks to confiscate houses and apartments and throws poor people and families hit by the capitalist crisis out in the winter streets because they cannot pay their house loans in time, the same banks that the greek people are being forced by the government and the creditors to pay their debts for the last 6 years so that the banks can have profits.

“No-one is forced to write books, or to spend years elaborating them or to claim to be doing this kind of work. There is no reason to make it obligatory to include footnotes, bibliographies and references. No reason not to choose free reflection on the work of others. It is sufficient to indicate well and clearly what relation one is establishing between one’s own work and the work of others.”
“Nul n’est forcé d’écrire des livres, ni de passer des années à les élaborer, ni de se réclamer de ce genre de travail. Il n’y a aucune raison d’obliger à mettre des notes, à faire des bibliographies, à poser des references. Aucune raison de ne pas choisir la libre réflexion sur le travail des autres. Il suffit de bien marquer, et clairement, quel rapport on établit entre son travail et le travail des autres.
Michel Foucault, (1994) [1983] ‘A propos des faiseurs d’histoire’. In Dits et Ecrits vol. IV.Paris: Gallimard, p. 413. This passage translated by Clare O’Farrell.

Increases in mortality rates of white, downwardly mobile men in the US
"Although the epidemic of pain, suicide, and drug overdoses preceded the financial crisis, ties to economic insecurity are possible. After the productivity slowdown in the early 1970s, and with widening income inequality, many of the baby-boom generation are the first to find, in midlife, that they will not be better off than were their parents. Growth in real median earnings has been slow for this group, especially those with only a high school education. However, the productivity slowdown is common to many rich countries, some of which have seen even slower growth in median earnings than the United States, yet none have had the same mortality experience."
(excerpt from the conclusion of Anne Case and Angus Deaton 's new study, Rising morbidity and mortality in midlife among white non-Hispanic Americans in the 21st century.)

Palestinians challenge Israeli impunity in The Hague
Last week in The Hague Palestinian human rights organizations submitted to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court extensive documentation of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israeli military forces during the “Operation Protective Edge” assault on Gaza in 2014. The ICC was created precisely for the purpose of ensuring criminal accountability for crimes on the scale of those committed during the 51-day assault on occupied Gaza last year, in which more than 1,540 civilians – including 556 children – were killed. In a statement commenting on the significance of the submission, the first of its kind, CCR said, “the ICC, as the court of last resort, represents the only hope for justice for Palestinians” and called for “its judicial independence to be respected as it considers the evidence presented…. The United States must recognize that peace cannot come without justice.”

Adam Phillips, On Monogamy
“People
have relationships not because they want to feel safe – though they
often think they do – but because they want to find out what the
danger is. This is where infidelity can let people down.” Adam
Phillips, Monogamy,
NY: Pantheon Books, 1996, §34.
Phillips
adds later “We are always doing monogamy, even though it is not
always obvious with whom we are doing it.” §46.
“[O]ne is truly monogamous only when monogamy is no longer the
point: that is, when one is in love. [. . .] When I am in love, it is
only the other person who could be unfaithful.” §93. “The only
truly monogamous relationship is the one we have with ourselves.”
§101.

LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME
As a Ruth Etting fan, I was skeptical about watching Love Me or Leave Me and the casting of Doris Day (who deserved finer character roles LATE in her career, perhaps as the bright-eyed-American-girl-gone-the-weary-suburban-nightmare if Hollywood, even 'communist' Hollywood had only dared tell the truth (think dying of valium with a son in Vietnam)/ was better than the 'starlet' track, yet shines here)... but WOW! what a stunning best-of-bourgeois production/ a 'studio' classic and one of Cagney's very best roles as Marty 'The Gimp' (I'm still waiting for Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins to play young and old Cagney in a warts n' all bio-pic!) PROVIDED one doesn't take the references to the life of Etting too seriously, e.g. Day is just adorable, brilliant-from-a-bread-and-butter-base (if she's ever bland she USES blandness as a very -American vehicle for stardom) and as captivating as her collaborating with the cinematic medium allows in the song settings – BAR the dreadful 'Sam the Old Accordion Man' number and much too-slow, too-drab version fo the theme song, tho' that might be deliberate given the soured radio orchestra/ rough crust Chicago vs. New York upper money contrast – but it is NOT Etting. That is, in a classic case of capital's insensitivity, it would have certainly worked better as a 'loosely based on' or 'inspired by' story called 'Chicago's Sweetheart...'.
In the end, the power of Love Me or Leave Me, much more than a girl-meets-ganster movie, comes from the portrayal of what it is like to be a fairly-narcissist personality trapped in a relationship with a domineering, impulsive, resentful authoritarian personality – could this be 'America' for several decades....? The 'real' story of Etting is interesting enough for a talented director to make an excellent 'creative documentary', combining one of my favourite combos of the camp and the corrupt, perhaps Errol Morris or Guy Maddin have the time..... (Check out the dreadful short film 'A modern Cinderella' for why this is necessary!)

If thou outlast my eudaimoinic eve,
When that boor Fate my dice with dirt shall mask,
Or shalt by hazard once more re-appraise
These poor rude twills of thy zombie romeo,
Collate then with the uplifting of the year,
And though they be outpac'd by every fold,
Retain them for my birdheart, not their ends,
Overflowed by the tip of happier crews.
O then patent me but this room's view:
Had me mate's Dream grow with this growing eld,
A dearer calf than this briarheart had born,
To tramp in seeds of four-in hand knots:
But since he balled and conceits better fail,
Theirs for their form I'll scan, his for his heart.

Adrienne Rich, in contemplating
how love refines our truths, wrote: “An honorable human
relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to
use the word ‘love’ — is a process, delicate, violent, often
terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths
they can tell each other.”

“He
served up our great military a huge bowl of chicken feces, and ever
since then, our military and our country have been trying to turn
this bowl into chicken salad.” Retired General John Batiste,
former commander of the First Infantry division in Iraq, on Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, 2006
Tools for thinking are then the ones
that address and actualize this power of the situation, that make it
a matter of concern, in other words, make us think and not recognize.
When we deal with practices, recognition would lead to the question
— why should we take practices seriously as we know very well that
they are in the process of being destroyed by Capitalism? This is
their ‘sameness’, indeed, the only difference being between the
already destroyed one and the still-surviving ones. The ecology of
practices is a non-neutral tool as it entails the decisions never to
accept Capitalist destruction as freeing the ground for anything but
Capitalism itself. -- Isabelle Stengers
Raymond
Williams, The
Guardian (11
October 1984): “from the experience of real communities, and now
also from ecology [that] we can learn to see living systems and
relationships as primary. They begin before and not after
'individuals'. Thus 'individual freedoms' are not primarily to be
justified by proprietorial assertions of 'rights', but from the
absolute need of all living systems and relationships to communicate
as well and freely as they can.”

I'd written off the director of Le Week-End many years ago but it's a superb tender-but-truthful portrayal of a loving bourgeois couple coz Kureishi's writing is just so damn good EXCEPT the Krugman-slime that saves the (financial-Hollywood) day. Lindsay Duncan gives a career performance. Lovely detail: the main theme starts like 'Look of Love' then turns in a French way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmbbrIe80Fs

There was a period of months leading up to being signed to Geffen, being shit-in-the-dirt-poor ahead of the eventual atrocious mixing of Nevermind – that is, right before and including the introduction of Dave Grohl and a weekly heroin habit for Kurt – when Nirvana were a marvelous, a monstrously vital live act.

My neighbour Doug died this week of a heroin overdose. This is the fourth neighbour I've lost to drug addiction in less than four years. I feel a little awful that I was such a shitty, insensitive, suspicious, reactive neighbour to him – and honestly tried to avoid him when possible. I'll not shake off that shame. I was overprotective of my family and chose to demonize him as a regular criminal rather than offer any useful understanding. My condolences go out to his family and friends. When will Cincinnati get its priorities right and actually tackle the drug epidemic head-on? There are hundreds of simple effective things we can do today – needle exchanges, ending the Drug War, affordable mental health care, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. There can be no real communities while there are drugs as-a-part-of the system and I know I'm not alone in saying that I'm sick of having to move around as each neighbourhood is impacted by poverty, neglect, econocide, ultracruel capital, the lifestyles of the white bourgeois-and-indebted, old-time Ohio backwardness and straight-up racism, allowing addiction to take its devastating hold.

Reading
Badiou on Althusser, Derrida flinched at the separation of 'friends'
and 'enemies' and hard-line ethics of a judgmental communism. Recent
biographical work, e.g. Peeters, reveals a fairly consistent but
(until the mid-1990s at least) unpublicized position in Derrida’s
relations to Marxism, going back to at least his encounters with the
Althusserians, in which it was in fact a commitment to being ‘on
the left’ which meant (as he puts it in a letter to Granel in 1971)
that the risk of giving an ‘impression of apoliticism, or rather
“apraxia”’, was tied to the strategic requirement to avoid
appearing to take a reactionary position in criticizing current
orthodoxies on Marx: ‘I’ll never fall into anti-communism, so I’m
shutting my mouth.....’

Colonizers have long tried to crush the spirit of the peoples they colonize and blunt their will to resist colonization. One of the most devastating weapons of conquest has been sexual violence. In the eyes of colonizers, the bodies of people of color are considered inherently "dirty." For instance, as European settlers of California described in the 1860s, Native people were "the dirtiest lot of human beings on earth (Rawls 1984, 195)." They wear "filthy rags, with their persons unwashed, hair uncombed and swarming with vermin (Rawls 1984, 195)." The following 1885 Proctor & Gamble ad for Ivory Soap also illustrates this equation between Indian bodies and dirt.

In peaceful arts unreconciled
Our blankets smeared with grease and stains
From buffalo meat and settlers' veins.
Through summer's dust and heat content
From moon to moon unwashed we went,
But IVORY SOAP came like a ray
Of light across our darkened way
And now we're civil, kind and good
And keep the laws as people should,
We wear our linen, lawn and lace
As well as folks with paler face
And now I take, where'er we go
This cake of IVORY SOAP to show
What civilized my squaw and me
And made us clean and fair to see (Lopez n.d., 119).

But socialism cannot, as has often been
observed, grow up within the interstices of capitalist society. Like
Malcolm X said of capitalism and revolution, “It is impossible for
a chicken to produce a duck egg, even though they both belong to the
same family of fowl, so-called fowl. A chicken just doesn't have it
within its system to produce a duck egg. It can't do it. It can only
produce according to what that particular system was constructed to
produce....”
