The Bourgeoisie, 2021: Richard Phillips

[jayaury]

Bimbo Bourgeoisie

As a Resistance Spy, it was up to you to feed information to your allies in order to take down the aristocracy.

Fortunately, the countess you serve seems pretty dumb. She never even asked you about your past. Just asked you to look at her necklace.

Her pretty...sparkly necklace.

The one she liked to bounce between her big, pale breasts.

The necklace you had to follow as it swayed.

Bounced.

The breasts you loved to be buried under as she hugged you.

Her obedient servant.

Her good, mindless, obedient slave who'd be so naughty and lead his silly Resistance friends into a trap.

A trap so mistress could get a whole new staff of silly, rebellious toys to tame.

And you'll obey mistress, of course.

Good slaves always obey...

We now live under the pay system, in which if you can’t pay you can’t have. Everything has a price set upon it; earth, air, light and water, all have their price. And he who hasn’t worked, let him starve. Love, honor, fame, ambition, all the noblest and holiest aspirations and sentiments of humanity are bought and sold. Everything is upon the market for sale; all is merchandise and commerce…

…Free access to all the productive and distributive forces will alone free the minds and bodies of men. There are certain things that are priceless. Among these are life, liberty and happiness, and these are the things which the society of the future, the free society, will guarantee to all for the return of a few hours labor per day. When labor is no longer for sale, society will produce free men and women, who will think free, act free, and be free…

- Lucy E. Parsons, “What Freedom Means” (1905)

(Pt.2)

[raisongardee]

"Jamais depuis le temps biblique ne s’était abattu sur nous fléau plus sournois, plus obscène, plus dégradant à tout prendre, que la gluante emprise bourgeoise. Classe plus sournoisement tyrannique, cupide, rapace, tartufière à bloc ! Moralisante et sauteuse ! Impassible et pleurnicharde ! De glace au malheur. Plus inassouvible ? Plus morpione en privilèges ? Ça ne se peut pas ! Plus mesquine ? plus anémiante ? plus férue de richesses plus vides ? Enfin pourriture parfaite."

Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Mea Culpa, 1936.

In honor of nothing specific besides my review being popular on Google maps, I wanted to share share one of the favorite things I've written about a truly horrific experience.

[voltairineandviolethaze]

If the capitalist, aided by his faithful valet, the government, has not by means of law and hunger, succeeded in reducing the workman into actual bondage, it is because the latter has had his moments of revolt; it is because he struggled, at the price of nameless privations and numberless victims. It is with a stone or a torch in his hand, sometimes with a rifle at his shoulder, that he has torn from the vampire an infinitesimal portion of that which might have come to him from the scientific progress of the century.

Every penny gained on wages, every liberty earned in the workshop is marked by the corpses of workmen; and if only the number of these victims could be counted, no one would dare talk to him about “progress” already gained.

- Peter Kropotkin, “The New Era” (1896)
