1. Stop Wars and various Jan 2016

And how much effort, interest and money over the next year will be put into STOP WARS compared to STAR WARS?
It looks like being far, far, less, right? What a mixed up world we are in, putting so much of its energy in the wrong direction.
The root of it being, i think: the film makes money for the elite...stopping wars takes money away from the elite. Solution: use the people force against the dark capitalist elites, he he...
The further irony is that the film shows decent humans (and aliens!) fighting for a fair republic where people are in control of their own lives... against a poisonous elite who want to control things for their own agenda. Ah, ha... how about applying some more of that to the galaxy we are actually in right now?







DJ event this week, a big mix of sounds, from my 60s stuff, to 70's punk and some contemporary indie pop from the Japanese DJs.

Nice!






Comics and Capitalism
I'm here, as ever, to mention the elephant in the room - its not the fault of publishers either, but of the wider economic system that they are ALSO held back by. Most publishers dont want to make poor, cliched, mainstream books that have profit as the key element that needs to be considered, but most of the time they have to - in this economic system...There are only two workable solutions here, a difficult one: comics somehow start selling a lot more, within the current capitalist system. And a very difficult one: we get wise and scrap this current shit system that holds us all back. and instead conduct ourselves within a better economic system that will have more room for art, literature, etc. So, which is it, punk?

3. An article I wrote about artists would be better off in an anarchist society:
