I: What is Industrial Democracy? I throw around a lot of negativity from time to time about the potential we all have to undermine work in some serious and promising ways. It isn’t that I enjoy being negative that I do this, I just appreciate a dash of cynicism and skepticism with my optimism that…
And this time it’s a dedicated one with it’s own PDF! Please feel free to print and distribute widely. Make a buck off of it, give it away, scream it from the rooftops! Don’t know how to print it? Here are some instructions. All thanks go to the ever-supportive, Outcide Catt!
For a while I tried to program and thought I could do it. I remember trying to do it a year ago or so and learning C++, a programming language, through an online course. I just couldn’t keep with the program and I have a weak background in math. The latter of which led me…
Nick’s Notes: I have republished this under a Creative Commons License that Abe himself used and also reached out to Abe to see if he was explicitly okay with republishing. As of the time of this being published he has not gotten back to me but if he tells me anything differently I will remove…
I feel that a more general book review is going to be helpful for Stalin’s Peasants at this point. But I do want to make some comments about the nature of the state and its relation to the peasantry. Particularly the relation of the state wanting to take more from the peasants and the peasants…

One of my fondest memories of working at Kohl’s was when I purposefully went slow on a particular night. We were doing the usual drudgery of taking clothes off a container and putting them in them in the appropriate place.

…[S]ometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, ’cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a…
