The Promise and Failure of Industrial Democracy

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…

If [Work is Automated], Then [Abolish Work]

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…

‘Creativity Loves Constraints’: The Paradox of Google’s Twenty Percent Time, by Abe Walker

Stalin’s Peasants, by Sheila Fitzpatrick (Chapter 4)

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…

Work is A Dish Often Served Cold (Movie Review of Chef)

I’m not particularly interested in food. I’ve never found it enthralling, worth seasoning, worth making a big fuss over. I don’t understand all of the reality shows, celebrity chefs, over-played commercials or much of anything else. I certainly didn’t see it as “art”. Food is just something you put in your mouth and eventually (like…

Competent Slacking Requires Incompetent Work

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. This was fairly mindless, uninteresting, repetitive and frankly, insulting work that I generally disliked. It…

Stalin’s Peasants, by Sheila Fitzpatrick (Chapter 3)

I will admit that the book is not as relevant to anti-work struggles as I’d hoped it be. The difficulty with going off the suggestions and reviews of others (which I believe is what spurred me to buy this book) is that they may only be judging it generally instead specific chapter relevance. Given that,…

Joaquín García is my Hero

…[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…
