Showing posts with the label Communism

Autism is incompatible with Capitalism, or how I learned to stop blaming myself and became a leftist.

Throughout most of my life I have never been a very politically informed person. I have always striven to live my life in a way that I thought was suitable for me. In this manner I tried to be as helpful as possible and to always do my best. People always told me that if I did that then that everything would be fine.. They were wrong. When I was 18 years old I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder(or Asperger's Syndrome at the time due to the DSM(1) still being in it's Fourth edition). This diagnosis came after a rough divorce of my parents. This in combination with the financial trouble that followed caused me to suffer from some major mental health problems. This diagnosis did not a whole lot for me emotionally speaking but it did allow me to finally make sense of the issues I had ran into in my life at that point. It felt like everything finally made sense. I did not make mistakes and failed everything I tried because I was dumb, I was just Autistic! I was just not mad...

All cops are bastards, but so are the people who defend their actions

Content Warning: Discussion of police violence  It is a well known phrase among the left. "All cops are Bastards" or ACAB for short. It stands for justice and to make clear to the world why the institute of the police should not exist. You have all probably heard the theory and reasoning behind this phrase already. "All cops are bastards because they exist to protect the wealthy elite, they are bastards because they oppress the lower classes and marginalized groups with extreme prejudice, they are bastards because they protect Fascists and other far right agitators". This is all fine and dandy but I am not here to give a theory lecture. If you want to read about theory then go find some video essay on YouTube or read some literature. No instead I am here to talk about the powers that are behind those cops, how even so called "moderate" politicians and people are more then willing to defend the brutality of the thugs in blue.  Police brutality nowadays is m...

De SP wil geen linkse politiek voeren/The SP does not want to do left wing politics

English Below Nederlands Een vrij lange tijd ben ik qua stemgedrag een aanhanger geweest van de SP. In die tijd heb ik meerdere malen op zowel lokaal als landelijk niveau op de SP gestemd. Dit heb ik gedaan in het verleden omdat de SP destijds de partij was wiens agenda en standpunten het meest bij mij paste. Echter naarmate ik mijzelf meer in politieke zaken ging inlezen(voornamelijk uit noodzaak vanwege mijn situatie als een persoon met een "beperking") is het mij echter meer en meer duidelijk geworden dat de SP met hun huidige partijbestuur geen interesse heeft om linkse politiek te voeren. De redenen hiervoor zijn mij niet helemaal duidelijk en zijn iets waar ik alleen maar over kan speculeren maar het is wel duidelijk geworden dat de SP partijbestuur in het afgelopen jaar een aantal beslissingen heeft genomen die mij heel duidelijk maken dat de SP niet mijn vriend is en ik zeker niet op hun voor ondersteuning kan rekenen.  Ik denk dat in dit geval dat het belangrijkste e...

An Introduction

 It is high time for me to make a post explaining what I am doing here and what my aim is with this blog. This should hopefully give some introspection in who I am, what I am doing here and where I want to go with the work that I do. First of all I am Pim. I am an Autistic twat with a lot of opinions on a lot of subjects. I am a filthy "left wing rat" so don't expect any love for Conservatives or Liberals here. This blog will mostly be my outings on subjects regarding politics, especially politics that involve Autistic people.  In a way this blog also serves as an extension of my youtube channel, here I will post about subjects that I think are either too small for their own video or subjects that I cannot adequately explain in video format. This does mean that my blog will go into the territory of theory and frustrations I run into in life so be prepared for that. I have found it extremely difficult to really produce anything of substance regarding theory or finding a cr...
