Tips for Radicals

Aiming to be a "blog of the gaps" to cover things that other radical blogs oftem miss — what we want, our journey there, and issues along the way.

To help you searching the blog, I use the following tags to categorise posts:

  • theory - ways of structuring the world
  • strategy - plans to achieve the theories
  • tools - specific ways to (help) achieve the strategy
  • tips - advice that could help you in your life and action
  • examples and analysis of existing campaigns

For more info, see the about this blog page.

Please send in your own blog posts, links, comments, or article ideas either as a submission or an ask - always welcome.

I also run a more scatter-shot blog full of incoherent rants and tumblr arguments. Sorry about that.

As wages bear less and less relation to the cost of living, it seems as good a time as any to ask if the underlying fantasy is that employers will one day be able to pay their workers nothing at all.

From a really good article (in a mainstream rag) about the nature of work, and how we can start to challenge it/live without it…

…with a bit of Tory-hashing for good measure.

Well this is depressing.

My friend said it well:

“They are determined to get slaves working for the millionaires aren’t they? First it was the unemployed forced to work for free, now the incarcerated. I like the idea of jobs and training being available in prisons, but ffs, this is just slavery. The idea that their exemption from the minimum wage is because they are “paying upkeep” is total BS! They don’t want to be in prison why should they pay for it? You want them in prison, you pay for it.”

fuckin’ right
