Another red ken post
Wasted Kisses: Energy, capitalism, and waste.
I have a dirty little secret comrades. Capitalism loves waste, in fact it is almost a requirement of doing business. One might think that the Taylorist time-motion loving capitalists would find waste to be an anathema to the bottom line and perhaps in that small way they may appear to abhor waste, but ( Read more... ) -
Elephants & Flowers:The absurdity of Milton Friedman.
(Again, I am not really a communist... yadda yadda yadda)
I have heard that one of the chief concerns or critiques about communism is that it is unrealistic and cannot work. I would say a day does not pass my comrades without someone uttering the all too common statement that somehow the great failing of communism is that it fails to account for ( Read more... ) -
"The Word" Jesus Christ Communist- another rant by Red Ken
Jesus Christ Communist
Cue Andrew Lloyd Webber soaring to accompany.
But seriously, it is Thursday (night-by the time I post this) and since I am taking Friday off I decided to let loose with firebomb that may anger and frustrate a great number of people.
I am confused about many things in the inevitable revolution and there are some elements of human ( Read more... ) -
Emancipation!
The revenge of Red Ken
I am back comrades after a bit of a hiatus I am here to discuss things communist and socialist with you and celebrate the inevitable and impending revolution. Of course there will be a lot of social stress and chaos and false consciousness first, but sooner or later Fox, CNN, NBC, and those capitalist running dogs at PBS ( Read more... ) -
Private Joy
(sorry about the latenes of this post-as well as it's shoddiness. Yes, this is another Red-Ken post. No, I am not a communist. Yes I was tired when I typed this. No I am not fomenting revolution. Yes I did skip this weeks segment of 'ask a commie.' Yes I will keep writing these silly things.)
Private Joy: Communism and the military.
Many of you ( Read more... ) -
Chaos and Disorder (Red Ken post)
Chaos and Disorder: The bag o’ mail.
(I am not a communist. There I said it. And I mean it a hell of a lot more than when Bill O’Reilly, or half of the Faux news crowd for that matter, claims to be non-partisan.
Ok, ‘Red Ken’s’ mail bag is looking pretty empty today so I have to recycle a bit from last week and toss in a bit of my own which put’s ( Read more... ) -
Segue: A Red Ken Thank You
(I am not really a communist. I am writing these little pieces as a way of explaining to everyone some of the actual elements of communism. If I were really a communist I would be more than happy to admit as such. After all I have admitted to being an Atheist, A green, A Democrat, A Pagan, an Anarchist, a closet Punk, and an admirer of the ( Read more... ) -
Segue II: more Communist Q&A with Red Ken
(Again, I am not really a communist, any relation or resemblance that Red Ken has with any real living or dead Ken should be considered purely coincidental)
Segue II: more Communist Q&A with Red Ken
Yesterday was pretty somber; today will hopefully be full of fun and games. So, without further ado we are off to the races.
Hey, Red Ken are you for real ( Read more... ) -
Segue: Q&A with Red-Ken
(Ok, ordinarily I would use this space to put a caveat on my post to indicate how I am not a communist and this is merely an exercise in humor, sadly it is much harder sometimes to lampoon politics in general in some cases. So I will say that in this case, though I do not claim to be a communist, many of the opinions below are actually my opinions ( Read more... ) -
Red Ken-Damned if I do
(Warning: I believe in very little of what I’m about to write. I really don’t know why I should have to tell you this as it should be really, really, bloody obvious to anyone that knows me. I DO believe EVERYONE should vote. Bar none. Personally I am only a few steps from thinking it should be a crime not to vote, even if you vote for no-one or ( Read more... )
