UK: A Working Class Experience of Alien Abduction! (18.11.2025)

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

The capitalist will say (and do) anything that justifies the endless accumulation of profit. To this end, the emphasis of individualism is vital – as it is through this loss of collective identity that humanity learns to routinely brutalise its own existence and being. Inflicting pain and harvesting gain is the only permitted exchange which locks out all other modes of possible interaction. Love becomes a limited commodity which can be bought for a short time period before the clock runs out and its flow dries up.

Dancing While the Dollar Depreciates

The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

Feels appropriate to drop some remixes to go along with the Reagan era remix—Stephen Miran’s nomination to the Federal Reserve Board is just the latest track in a long playlist of dollar devaluation, austerity for the rest of us, and profits for the usual suspects. Still waiting on a proper critique from economists like Michael Roberts or Michael Hudson, but from what I’ve gathered so far, the “Miran Doctrine” is collapse choreography: pain for the working class, leverage for capital.

Marx saw this coming: the ruling class conjures up the ghosts of past ideologies to mask present-day extraction.

So here’s this DJ set of Madonna remixes—because I need an escape, and maybe you do too.

Remixes

Mentol’s worked with Dj Dark, before. They’re both from Romania. I don’t remember how I came across him. It was probably from looking for a remix of the following song. He always replies to my comments on YouTube.

Another artist that I like is NG (Native Guest), from Serbia. I made a YouTube playlist of her remixes, a while back.

Ronin Mode is another one that I like. He’s done remixes of Nine Inch Nails and quite a few other faves of mine. Ronin Mode is in California, I believe. He actually follows me on Twitter.

I like these artists because they do remixes of old songs that I used to listen to.

Fun fact, some of my favorite singers are from Albania.

Che Guevara: Socialism and man in Cuba

Dear compañero,

Though belatedly, I am completing these notes in the course of my trip through Africa, hoping in this way to keep my promise. I would like to do so by dealing with the theme set forth in the title above. I think it may be of interest to Uruguayan readers.

A common argument from the mouths of capitalist spokespeople, in the ideological struggle against socialism, is that socialism, or the period of building socialism into which we have entered, is characterized by the abolition of the individual for the sake of the state. I will not try to refute this argument solely on theoretical grounds but rather to establish the facts as they exist in Cuba and then add comments of a general nature. Let me begin by broadly sketching the history of our revolutionary struggle before and after the taking of power.

How honesty leads to the trauma of unnecessary psychiatric hospitalization

Picture a soul in turmoil, wrapped in the suffocating embrace of despair. In the sanctuary of a therapist’s office, they finally find the courage to voice the unspeakable: 

“Sometimes, I think about not being here anymore.” 

The words hang heavy in the air, a testament to the crushing weight of their pain, loneliness, and emptiness. This confession, born from a place of vulnerability and trust, should be the beginning of a deeper healing journey.

During these intense emotional struggles, it’s important to understand that thoughts of escape, including suicide, are a common human response to overwhelming pain. There’s a vast chasm between contemplating an end to suffering and actively planning to end one’s life.
