A little pre-supper #guitar and music, as I'm on my own and I'm not keeping anyone from their supper.
Singing #TracyChapman's 'Talkin' 'bout a Revolution" and the words are as inspiring as ever, but man it feels a long way off, 37yrs later.

This is not #climaterealism. It is #climatedelusion.
The new “ #centrist consensus” on #climate is emerging & its highly nationalistic, flirting with more #military involvement, & expecting at least 3°C of warming, thereby justifying #geoengineering.

And if we look at historical events throughout the 20th-century, almost every country that had a #revolution went #socialist only after fascists had taken control of the country some years or decades earlier.
I apologize for my posts where I was basically doomposting saying #revolution will never happen in the #US.
That kind of attitude is why. #Fascism always gets defeated in the end; it never lasts more than a few decades at the most.
Ask the shitlibs who say they want to "fight fascism" this question:
Will you support a #socialist #revolution should the time come that it happens?
And see how they respond.
I had one tell me they'd rather Trump declare himself #dictator than let that happen.

It's not a coincidence that every concession #workers gained in the 20th-century has been taken away by the #capitalists since the end of the #ColdWar. Why? Because they no longer fear #revolution. As long as that fear of revolution was there, they were forced to make concessions.
Let's be honest: the #capitalist class doesn't make concessions unless they fear #revolution. The only reason for the #NewDeal in the #US or the social-democracies in Western #Europe was because the #SovietUnion existed and it was a threat.
Today In Labor History April 7, 1870: German-Jewish anarchist and pacifist, Gustav Landauer, was born. He was friends with, and influenced, the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. He served as the Commissioner of Enlightenment and Public Instruction during the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, during the German Revolution of 1918–1919, but was killed when the republic was overthrown. He was also the grandfather of film director, Mike Nichols (The Odd Couple, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Graduate).
Today In Labor History April 7, 1804: Haitian general, Toussaint Louverture died on this day. He was one of the most prominent members of the Haitian revolution for independence from France. The slave revolt against the French began in 1791 with the call by Dutty Boukman, a vodou priest. Encouraged by the French and American revolutions. Louverture led 100,000 enslaved Haitians in revolt, winning their freedom in 1793. In 1804, Haiti became first free black republic in the world. The U.S. refused to recognize Haiti for the next 70 and France extracted millions in restitution, destroying any hope of ever moving out of deep poverty. Louverture was betrayed in the end and died in prison. For a fantastic history of the Haitian Revolution, read “The Black Jacobins,” by C.L.R.James.

The Fall of The Paris Commune Summarized
Alors que l'utilisation de ce terme dépolitise l'action qu'il désigne, l’exposé historique et sociologique de Michel Kokoreff lui restitue toute sa charge contestataire et vindicative, conjurant l'oubli auquel contribue la spectacularisation des "révoltes urbaines".

"Revolution" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
"there they were, singing and showing up despite,
and this was the moment that made me believe
in the path—not just the grand marches toward freedom,
but also the thin trails marked with courage and creativity,
small moments I can follow like bread crumbs
till this country again feels like home."
