In Colombia, a far-right politician was shot. It's remarkable how he's received top-tier medical care and media coverage—something you wouldn't get if you suffered an attack or a serious workplace accident there, even though we're all supposed to have equal rights. Business as usual, no one protests. #Alienation #Struggle #Capitalism #Inequality #Mafia

Whatever #choices you make in the near future, #remember this simple #fact that rights are won through #struggle.

"This #ecosystem of #power also nurtures a #psychology of brutal #competition, not only among those who seek its power, but also among those it #represses, twisting them into seeing the #world as it does, in terms of power rather than #freedom. It violently simplifies our relations with one another into centralized structures and encourages us to #struggle to dominate one another.

#Statism isolates."

" #Libraries in Higher #Education: How Can We Meet the Moment?"

As the government takes aim squarely at libraries and higher education, an organized sector-wide response is crucial. How can academic #library workers take part? What can we learn from our shared #history of #struggle?

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

What people mean, therefore, by the struggle for life is really the struggle for success. What people fear when they engage in the struggle is not that they will fail to get their breakfast next morning, but that they will fail to outshine their neighbours.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 3 “Competition” (1930)
