Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year!

Moscow, early December 2011

12.11.11. am Reichstag

if the speed of light really is no longer the benchmark,

no wonder i could never get my head around Einstein's theory of relativity ;)

well, at least in this way the relativity of our school grades could soon be proven

Well done all of us!

Riots, recession, depression, crisis, starvation, war, precarity, unemployment, pollution, destruction, exploitation...

Dear capitalist,

The world is too small to mess around like this.

Take things easy

and one step further.

If the world is crazy

then surely it would be crazy to be normal.

Changing it or one's view of it?

No new thought at all but still worth repeating: What a bizarre world in which society is largely structured around capitalist markets which treat people as means rather than ends.

Shocked by the disaster in Japan

The principle that nothing we do should threathen the life chances of future generations is clearly violated by nuclear power. Politics which does not recognize this is flawed in fundamental ways.

We need to change politics. And the point is that we can.

Saturday night, b4 heading to the club, a quote for discussion

"Der Austausch der Waren über Preise führt zur Erzeugung von Gewinnen, zur Bereicherung und zur Ausbeutung; in einem Wort, er führt zu irgendeiner Form von Kapitalismus. Wenn du die Gewinne abschaffen willst, kannst du weder ein System von Preisen, noch von Löhnen oder Bezahlung beibehalten. Das bedeutet, dass der Austausch gemäß dem Wert erfolgen muss. Da der Wert aber ungewiss oder nicht ermittelbar ist, sollte der Austausch folglich ebenso frei sein, ohne einen gleichen 'Gegenwert', weil so etwas nicht existiert. Mit anderen Worten, die Arbeit und ihre Produkte müssen ohne Preis ausgetauscht werden, ohne Gewinn, frei, gemäß der Bedürfnisse. Das führt logischerweise zum Gemeineigentum und zum kollektiven Gebrauch." A. Berkman (1870-1936)

les quatre aveugles

I drew this in 2008 based on a Kenian tale that I learned from Wangui.

Time for To Don’t lists?!

It took me a long time to realize that once you have a To Do list, it never really gets shorter.

A clown does have to stick to the rules and doesn't

(This clown is a present by Aaron.)

Somewhat bland or what?
