But it’s just “human nature” guys! That’s right, it just so happens that the system immiserating the masses and destroying the planet while hollowing out our souls, the one we need an entire armed force of fascist shocktroopers to maintain - it’s just human nature!!!
Billy Hughes was a class traitor who is responsible for the death of 60,000+ workers, both Indigenous and settlers, who were sent to die in europe between 1914 and 1918.
Hundreds of thousands of diggers returned traumatised, their lives changed forever. After risking their lives for king and empire, many faced homelessness and destitution. Not much has changed in 100 years.
Hughes was an opportunist, a liar and a cheat. After migrating to the colonies, lying about his age and securing assisted passage, the stolen valor 'little digger', never fought in a war, and destroyed generations.
Communists stopped the Nazis in W2. It's our duty to stop fascism once and for all! For the People! For Peace!
However here's a reminder that Fascism wasn't dead and finished after world war 2, anyone who believes that fascism died is fucking deluded.
Gaurko egunez 1939an, duela 85 urte, Adolf Hitler hiltzen saiatu zen Georg Elser Munichen. Urtero egun eta leku berean egiten zen ospakizun bat baliatuz, jatetxe bateko zutabe batean lehergailuak jarri zituen, Hitlerrek hitzaldia eman ohi zuen lekutik gertu. Hitzaldia bukatu eta gutxira egin zuen eztanda ordea, eta Hitler 11 minuturengatik salbatu zen. Elser gau hartan bertan atxilotu zuten, eta 1945ean Dachauko kontzentrazio esparrura bidali.
Today in 1939, 85 years ago, Georg Elser tried to kill Adolf Hitler in Munich. Taking advantage of a celebration that took place on the same day and place every year, he planted explosives on a column of a restaurant, near where Hitler used to give speeches. However, shortly after the end of the speech, it exploded, and Hitler was saved for 11 minutes. Elser was arrested that very night, and sent to the Dachau concentration camp in 1945.
"In this episode we discuss Christopher Hill's The World Turned Upside Down: Radical Ideas During the English Revolution, originally published in 1972.
This book is widely regarded as a seminal work of history from below, which popularised the concept of the English Revolution and helped to establish the ideas of the Levellers, Diggers, Seekers and Ranters as a key part of the radical tradition in England and beyond."

Oct 14 1982, the Canadian anarchist group Direct Action, composed of Ann Hansen, Brent Taylor, Juliet Caroline Belmas, Doug Stewart and Gerry Hannah, used 550 lbs of stolen dynamite to bomb the Litton Industries factory that was manufacturing guidance systems for 407 US Tomahawk cruise missiles
They first stole 38½ cases of dynamite from a Highways explosives store house months earlier.
They drove a stolen truck alongside the building, stuck a fluorescent warning sign on it, called the security desk to tell them a bombing was imminent and to warn factory workers and local hotel guests to avoid windows.
Dead Kennedys would later sing
"In Toronto someone blew up
A cruise missile warhead plant.
10 slightly hurt, 4 million dollars' damage.
Why not destroy private property
When it's used against you and me?
Is that violence?
Or self-defence?
You tell me "
They would later fire bomb three franchises of "Red Hot Video" which was linked to paedophilic and snuff material.
One of the members Ann Hansen Would later issue Direct Action - Memoirs of an Urban Guerrilla

"Housework is a never-ending job that every household needs to do, that causes conflicts between roommates, that disproportionately falls on women, and that you don't even get paid for.
This episode is your one-stop show for cleaning tips & tricks, hacks, stats, and facts on housework, and the historical wages for housework movement."

In the 1960s and 1970s, anarchist Abbie Hoffman was one of the founders of the Youth International Party, whose members called themselves “Yippies”. More than thirty years after his death, the United States and, more generally, those interested in the history of the counterculture, still see him as a symbol of the wind of freedom and protest that blew through American youth in those decades.
