“However, in a Marxist revolution, the proletariat will come together to overthrow the bourgeoisie and ultimately, win the class conflict by taking control over their work, or striking. And if such a revolution occured in Brunt’s classroom, his students would overthrow him as a teacher — and the principal, the superintendent, and so on.”

Hello yes I'd like to report a bug, on my X1 Carbon running OpenBSD I can only hear "laurel" but on my work MacBook running macOS I can only hear "yanny" and on my T430s running GNU/Linux I can hear both.

So with all these news stories about racist WW calling the cops on Black ppl over some bullshit...I think now is a good time to remind people about the book "Beyond the Pale: White women, racism and history"

It's from a British historical context that still informs how WW in America are complicit in upholding white supremacy. There is also an article by Olivia A Cole that would be a good read:

My son was asked to make a model of the solar system, so we did. It took 7 miles to make a scale model. We measured in relation to the sun being 2m. wide in the middle of his playground & found objects the right diameter for each planet and took photos of them the right distance away. Walking this gave some semblance of scale. The distances and diameters of each object-planet are under the cards.

This homework was fun for parents too. It was based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj4524AAZdE #smallstories

Just as important as destroying the material frameworks of capital is the ideological and affective task of allowing our revolutionary political assemblage to unlearn all our past ways of living, from those instilled under capitalism toward a truly communist alternative.
