The Barefoot Bum’s slum seems to be suddenly closed. Anyone have any theories as for why? If he’d closed it himself I’d expect the actual content to remain for archival purposes rather than being removed.

Bumming Mutualism
The Barefoot Bum has started reading and analyzing the Kevin Carson’s Studies in Mutualist Political Economy. This should be interesting. Larry generally is very sharp when it comes to such issues so if this is the first part of a series, it will be something to follow closely.
Quote of the Day: Pattern of revolution
A quote about the fate of previous revolutions
What tends to happen in their [Non-anarchist] revolutions[…]? A certain pattern tends to recur: lots and lots of people are active, from a variety of classes and perspectives, then once the main blow has been struck, there’s an internal power-struggle and some bunch of motherfuckers shoot all the radicals and inform everyone else that the most revolutionary thing in the world is Discipline
I like the sentiment in it 🙂
Quote of the Day: Anarcho-Capitalist "Freedom"
Ludvig von Mises defends Freedom the best way he knows. By backing Fascism.
Quoth Ludwig von Mises (H/t to An Anarchist FAQ)
It cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilisation. The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live eternally in history.” [Liberalism, p. 51]
Yes, Fascism has really saved civilization. Why? Because it didn’t let Capitalism go down of course. Thus we see the classic example of “Anarcho”-Capitalist where Anarchism is meant to imply Anti-Statism but only when it’s in the interests of the Plutocracy.
And yet, many people still promote these ruling-class apologetics as the only true “Freedom”.

Quote of the Day: KKE and Slander
Bravo Liana .. Tell us the way, how can a revolutionary party deflect the international slander, when whole communist regimes have succumbed to them? It seems that KKE can make it, because it has the divine favour (something that other communists don’t) and has made a monastery from sinless Shaolin that deflect every intervention.
Bravo Liana ((Editor: A well-known repressentative of the Greek Communist Party)).. Tell us the way, how can a revolutionary party deflect the international slander, when whole communist regimes have succumbed to them? It seems that KKE ((Editor: The Greek Communist Party. Stalinist)) can make it, because it has the divine favour (something that other communists don’t) and has made a monastery from sinless Shaolin that deflect every intervention.
Translated from Greek. Lots of fun and a good article to boot

Quote of the Day: Obama the Corporatist
[Obama] is not a socialist, as conservatives may be arguing, but he is a corporatist. Using future tax dollars to fund government job programs is one thing. Using future tax dollars to give banks more money to lend out at interest is robbing from the poor to pay the rich to rob from the poor.

Quote of the Day: Obsolete class struggle ideas
A quote about the constant resurgence of class struggle.
Perhaps – for once – they [the conservative columnists] have learnt at least one lesson from history. That is that time and time again, just when the ruling classes relaxed, working class struggle has suddenly appeared to declare, in the manner of Mark Twain, that rumours of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
Quote of the Day: AnCap Movement
An anonymous quote about “Anarcho”-Capitalism.
Quoth Anonymous
I would love to see an “anarcho” capitalist rally, a bunch of rich white teenagers and a few rich, white, bourgeois economists.
Btw, charge up your lazers irony capacitors and check out the rest of the quotes in the article this comment quote was taken from.
Quote of the Day: Windows bits
An Anonymous quote about bits and Microsoft.
Quoth Anonymous (USEnet post)
“Windows [n.] – A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can’t stand one bit of competition.”
PS: Here’s something to read to understand why far too many people dislike Microsoft. No, it’s not because we’re jealous.
