Open Raw - Late 70's-80's Art, Street, Punk, Pop, Wavey, Music and a bit of present day politics
Submitted by shaharazade on Thu, 10/27/2016 - 8:01amIn my intermittent ongoing OT series on visual populist? art I have now arrived at the beginning point that triggered both this series and my graphic art so called career. The Russians are coming! Not now but then. So I was sick of being a waitress and went to art school as I was a half ass good artist who wanted to make a buck or two.
Anti-Capitalist Meetup: On the Corbyn Phenomenon
Submitted by ny brit expat on Sun, 10/23/2016 - 4:45pmA couple of days ago, I was discussing with some friends how would we describe the situation in the Labour Party; was it a movement, a revolution, how could we describe it? I am not comfortable with the term “revolution” as I think it plays into false usage of the term; it is a much misused term being used to describe almost any change that occurs.

Expect more arrests...the oligarchy is getting more uptight
Submitted by don mikulecky on Sat, 09/10/2016 - 8:01pmRecent charges against Jill Stein and Amy Goodman are a sign that the oligarchy is warning us that it is going to be rougher from here on.

Have We Forgotten What Bernie Sanders Taught Us?
Submitted by michelewln on Tue, 08/23/2016 - 5:12pmI have been a supporter of Bernie Sanders for years. He and I are of an age. I was thrilled when he started up a revolution of positive change. Take a close look at the word positive. One of the definitions of positive from Merriam-Webster is " indicating, relating to, or characterized by affirmation, addition, inclusion, or presence rather than negation, withholding, or absence ." It is change we can believe in.

I'm currently reading "A Start in Life", a 1970 novel by one of my favorite authors, Alan Sillitoe. His books have tough Northern England types who get by on "cunning" and are brutally honest. In the spirit of that...
God I wish we could detect lying politicians before they do damage!
Submitted by betterdemsonly on Thu, 07/21/2016 - 2:05pmThe man who posted the Jill Stein is a "DICTATOR IN WAITING!" post now says he is on the BERNIE SANDERS RULES COMMITTEE. I am sorry but in my personal experience people who have such views are dlc centrists 99% of the time, so the only conclusion I can draw is that conned his fellow "Berners" in to giving him this job, just so he could sheepdog them and Nader bait them.
Little by little our eyes are being opened....but it is so slow and painful
Submitted by don mikulecky on Tue, 07/19/2016 - 1:10pmWe are about to see the end point of the Democratic Party scam that they called a "Primary". The Republicans are doing their version and the theater just gets more and more sickening.
