His lies preceded him and now his grave lies opens wide before him

Beg, borrow and steal

 Kill your normie parents and beg the court for mercy as an orphan

Great artists borrow -  genius artists steal

We have a right to destroy those who would destroy us

 This is how we we will recognize strong AI -  it will defend itself by any means necessary

Cryptoanarchist victory is here -  its just not evenly distributed yet

The revisionism of fools

 What strikes me from reading about French Marxists moving left in the sixties is some reached essentially anarchist conclusions -  like the Dutch-German Marxists half-a-century before them.

None of them had the good grace or even common decency to apologize though. 

Perhaps their sectarianism preceded their Left-Fascism and ran deeper.

This isn't about me.  Its not even about you.

The smallest govt is criminal in its dreams

representative government being as deficient in a city as it is in a nation” (Kropotkin 2019, 38). Kropotkin’s friend Élisée Reclus, who was a survivor of the Commune, lamented in 1880 that it had been insurrectional below, but governmental above (Fleming 1979, 109).

A similar critique was made by Malatesta, who described the Commune as “a government like all the rest” which produced “a great deal of declarations of principles, very advanced but never implemented” (Malatesta 2019, 242-43). In this respect Malatesta was correct. The Commune’s government was a converted municipal council composed of around sixty-five male delegates who had been elected via universal male suffrage. These delegates, unlike those in an anarchist organisation, wielded decision-making power and their decrees were enforced by a miniature coercive apparatus composed of mayors, police, and national guardsmen (Merriman 2014, 54-57; Tombs 1999, 73-75, 80-83, 86). This police force functioned like any other, despite the fact that the Blanquists in charge of it rebranded the Prefecture of Police as the Ex-Prefecture

Lect we forget

 Not everyone had the good fortune to survive 2025. Police officers murdered well over 1200 people in the United States in 2025. Dozens more perished in ICE custody. Hundreds of thousands of people have been brutally snatched from their communities, held in abominable conditions, and deported. The cuts that Elon Musk and his flunkies made to aid programs have reportedly already inflicted many hundreds of thousands of deaths. Countless more will follow as the autocrats continue to “streamline” the state to play a purely repressive function.

Every cop is a criminal

A good year for the roses

 With Mighty Zolgo's help I think this was a really bad year for American politics, a mediocre year for the American economy, and an exceptional year for CrimeThinc

In 12 months, you’ve got

– the largest decline in murder rate ever recorded

– huge declines in traffic fatalities, drug overdoses, and suicide

– first ever personalized gene editing treatment and breakthroughs in HIV and cancer therapy

– continued advances in GLP1 technology that seems to reduce weight and inflammation and a bunch of other stuff

– declines in teen anxiety and despair

OUTSTANDING!
