Time Out – Everyone

Posted in Announcements on August 26, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Dear readers and posters:
After leaving the site to run by itself for the past few hours I have returned to a downward spiral of idiocy.
It was, and remains my hope, that this blog will foster constructive debate on topics, with the ultimate goal of contributing to make our country better – along with a subversive [...]

Reactionary Populism

Posted in Local Politics on August 24, 2008 | 93 Comments »

I gotta say, so far I am really not all that impressed with the ‘roadmap‘ to curb violence that the Premier announced the other day.
My initial thought on reading the press release was that this was knee-jerk reactionary populism. I’m still waiting to hear further details about what it will all entail, but I’m [...]

Race. Yes, Again…

Posted in Cultural Criticism, Local Politics on August 19, 2008 | 44 Comments »

When I wrote the article on Libertarian Marxism, I said to myself that I bet people will not discuss the theoretical aspects of libertarian Marxism as opposed to authoritarian Marxism, rather they will latch onto the one small section of that post where I mentioned race and the UBP.
Looks like I was right.
And thats cool, [...]

Libertarian Marxism

Posted in Theory on August 17, 2008 | 79 Comments »

Following the ‘Monday Interview’ concerning myself and this blog, I have been asked several times what exactly is meant by my self-description as a ‘libertarian Marxist.’ This was perhaps the most common question posed to me following the article, the second one being why do I advocate socialism/Marxism in light of the collapse of [...]

I just wanted to expand or clarify a few issues from raised by todays ‘Monday interview’ concerning myself and this blog that was published in todays RG.
In the picture concerning the Anti-Racism Rally the caption reads:
“In December 2006, anti-racism rally organiser jonathan Starling stepped in after Portuguese activist Robert Pires angrily approached the podium after [...]

What the…

I gotta say I was shocked to hear about this stabbing. Eighteen. Only eighteen. I really do feel sorry for him and his loved ones.
I also feel sorry for his attackers. If the news spreading by word of mouth is anything to go by, the incident was over a gold chain. [...]

The Long Slow Death of the UBP

Posted in Local Politics on August 10, 2008 | 33 Comments »

It was curious reading and watching the latest rumblings of discontent from that political relic that is the UBP, with Mr. Wayne Furbert blasting the Party he used to lead and Mr. Kim Swan attempting to defend it. This of course was capped off with the return of Mr. Jahmal Simmons’ critique of the [...]

Major Announcement…

Well, I hope everyone has had a great holiday weekend. I’ve actually been working pretty much straight, which is great overtime pay, but I’ve tried to attend as many parties and whatnot as I could. I particularly enjoyed the Sally Basset play which has inspired me to return to an old piece of [...]
