“Bukharin guided the opposition of the communist left to the Treaty of Brestlitovsk. He affirmed that the Bolsheviks had to continue the military effort and transform it into a worldwide push for the proletarian revolution. In 1921 he changed his position and accepted Lenin's policies, encouraging the development of the New Political Economy. In Lenin’s will, Bukharin was dearly defined as “the Party’s favourite son”. After Lenin’s death he became a fully-fledged member of the Politburo in 1924 and president of the Communist International (CS) and (Comintern) in 1926.”- S.F. Cohen, Bukharin and the Bolshevik Revolution: a Political Biography,
1888-1938 (New York: Oxford University Press, 1973), 45-170.
“At the Democratic convention in 1956, Johnson received 80 votes as a favorite-son candidate for president”
As others have said before, relying on any one person to fix/save is a single point of failure. My love language is…everything. Money is included in that because it is an instrument. Currency is energy. My love language is also one of reciprocity. Thank you Trump for matching/elevating the energy of passionate women. If you could help get me to Miami tonight I’d be grateful and trust that the care/support will be reciprocal in major ways.
I’m a consumer. Not a detacher. But I also need to ground (long overdue) and practice restorative healing as much as possible for effective transmutation. With love, Gedeon…Gedeon

Expecting others to take care of it - while still reaping benefits- due to their perceived rank is yours…
Working/supporting others while not knowing where I’m going to sleep is MY madness
Beeping/honking while I’m stuck at the airport is madness
Beeping/honking while I’m asking for a ride to the airport is madness
If I had a dollar for every beep/honk…that isn’t lost on me…
“No amount of diversity training can serve as a replacement for leadership and accountability. When incidents arise — and bias is severely underreported — how leadership adjudicates consequences, affirms care for those affected and communicates how business will be done differently in the future sends a far more powerful message than any kind of workshopping ever will.” https://dailytrojan.com/2024/04/17/im-not-counting-on-dei/

The Socialization of Building Activity
“Another important duty of the union is the organization of a central list of workers for all the branches of the industry. With the demise of the conflict between employer and worker, one also sees the end of the de cades-old struggle concerning the formation of an officially recognized list of workers. From now on the list of workers is a professional organization without bearing on the municipal administration, and is administered inde pendently by the union.
It is not necessary to explain further why the union must also assume responsibility for the management of the funds for professional aid, for collective services, for workers' insurance, for the sick, the invalid and the aged, for disabled veterans, and for the unemployed. If the author also assigns the task of taxation to the union, it is based on the reasoning that the union possesses a complete overview of the possibilities and the earn-ings of the industry and of the workers, and can carry out the taxation in the fairest and simplest manner. In fact, the entire operation of imposing and collecting taxes would be greatly facilitated by the aid of the union. In the future, instead of numerous individual taxations, the construction union would be utilized as the sole authority in the collection of taxes.
The administration of industries of common interest, such as brickyards, gravel quarries, saw mills, lime and cement factories, road construction units etc., is conceived of in such a way as not to involve an autonomous union management. These industries must remain private. The fixing of prices and the marketing of the products should be, however subjected to an overall union control, responsible for maintaining a balanced production.”- Adventures of Avant Garde, Manfredo Tafuri

“And all of our beauty, which was hers first and which she gave to us. All of us—all who knew her—felt so wholesome after we cleaned ourselves on her. We were so beautiful when we stood astride her ugli- ness. Her simplicity decorated us, her guilt sanctified us, her pain made us glow with health, her awkwardness made us think we had a sense of humor. Her inarticulateness made us believe we were eloquent. Her poverty kept us generous. Even her waking dreams we used—to silence our own night- mares. And she let us, and thereby deserved our contempt. We honed our egos on her, padded our characters with her frailty, and yawned in the fantasy of our strength.
And fantasy it was, for we were not strong, only aggres- sive; we were not free, merely licensed; we were not compas- sionate, we were polite; not good, but well behaved. We courted death in order to call ourselves brave, and hid like thieves from life. We substituted good grammar for intellect; we switched habits to simulate maturity; we rearranged lies and called it truth, seeing in the new pattern of an old idea the Revelation and the Word.
She, however, stepped over into madness, a madness which protected her from us simply because it bored us in the end.”- Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison, p.205-206

“the seventeenth-century texts, on the contrary, announced the infernal triumph of Sloth: it was sloth which led the round of the vices and swept them on. Let us not forget that according to the edict of its creation, the Hopital General must prevent "mendicancy and idleness as sources of all disorder." Louis Bourdaloue echoes these condemnations of sloth, the wretched pride of fallen man: "What, then, is the disorder of an idle life? It is, replies Saint Am- brose, in its true meaning a second rebellion of the creature against God." Labor in the houses of confinement thus assumed its ethical meaning: since sloth had become the
absolute form of rebellion, the idle would be forced to work, in the endless leisure of a labor without utility or profit.” Madness & Civilization, Michel Foucault 🗽
