Radicalizing the Revolution...

The uprising begins and the revolutionaries seize power...Their first step is to disband the existing police force,  dismantle the military apparatus, overthrow the suffocating media web of existing propaganda, commence a new network of social communications, declare the previous governmental structure as defunct, welcome the people at large to the new conditions of radical anarchistic post-statehood, sponsor rallies in the public square, encourage dancing, singing and loud clapping, outlaw large corporations, monopolies, conglomerates, tech giants, Amazon, Google,  Apple, etc., redistribute existing accumulations of wealth among the millions of essential workers, reconstitute the existing means of production spontaneous and perhaps haphazardly under a separate set of umbrella categories (to be owned by everyone, to be administered by everyone, on a system of rotation, each according to their needs), declare all essential industries open to all, first come, first serve, demolish enclaves, gated communities, private estates, seize bank accounts and private holdings of everyone who is not in dire need, institute land reform, declare universal health care for all, levy taxes against the ruling elites, eliminate food deserts, outlaw racism, sexism, classism, lookism, homophobia, and reactionary thinking, open up the seat of government to the working class, form local councils and ministries of the people, punish hate speech, round up counter-revolutionary agitators, outlaw excessive consumption, litter, wastage, pollution, hoarding, punish snobbery and self-segregation, surveil the population in search of code speak and dog whistles, banish tribalism and large families, banish small communities and provincialism,  outlaw factions and sub-groupings, disallow useless debates and endless chattering about nothing,  stop the cult of celebrity, stop the cult of authority,  stop the worship of doctors, lawyers and engineers, stop the worship of beauty, shred the decadent art and fashion,  burn the false historical accounts, put librarians on notice,  eliminate private friendships, private clubs, private parties,  eliminate marriage and oppressive relationships, eliminate formal courtship and bourgeois dating services, liberate women from the company of men,  liberate men from their oppressive selves,  requisition men to the rescue of cats, dogs, dolphins and test rabbits, liberate older from younger, liberate children from parents and the pretense of loving caretakers,  liberate the infirm from their overseers, liberate black from white, hispanic from white, asian from white, middle eastern from white, multi-racial from white, white from white, visit radical immersive endless reeducation upon the recalcitrant Euro caucasoid nay-sayers who deny, deny, deny the historical tsunami that their collective DNA consciously or unconsciously helped to create...eliminate the stress that comes from trying to hold in place the perfection of the first moments of liberation, absolutely no faltering, no nervous reactions, no room for flaws of any kind...step to it, folks, put a happy face on it, no time to spare, no melancholy face allowed!

1974

Prologue - > We are fortunate to live in a time, or so it is said, when we of the future no longer feel the burden of gender to such a degree as in previous ages; nowadays there is no pre-established norm or "role" for us to perform or hold onto like a chain about the neck. There was a time, of course, and not so long ago, when men were de facto expected to be  tough strong, resilient, athletic, assertive... and which to judge by the role models in movies and popular culture which we could add on silent, stoical, protective, while no great shock was registered if there should be a woman or more than one who in some degree was known (also through popular culture, movies, novels, songs, etc. in comparison with her male counterparts) as:  soft, demure,  flirtatious, sociable, wise,  and to which one might add on: practical, prescient, intuitive, gregarious, solicitous, nurturing and perhaps multi-tasking,  socially-aware, loyal, resilient .   With regard t...

The Suburbs

 I have spent much of my early life in the suburbs and after a brief stint in the big city - with its noise, crowding and cramped spaces,  I find myself immersed again in this familiar realm - an environment that seems part of my destiny. I've always thoughts of the suburbs as a place meant for children - where children can feel safe and protected - with non-busy streets and clean sidewalks - room to ride one's bike or go door-to-door selling cookies. To consider how many of our early impressions and sensations were spawned by this largely artificial world...How different such a milieu is from other places on earth, war zones, rain forests, Siberian outposts, tiny mountaintop villages or large sprawling mazes of high rise apartments in vertically-inclined mega metropolises...The suburbs are a place where a definite order and routine can be imposed...where regularity is king... lawns get mowed on time, shrubs are trimmed, garbage bins are placed at the curb and returned to thei...

The "Endless Summer" Feeling a.k.a. "Time Stop Mechanism"

Growing up out west - we had what was known as the "endless summer" feeling - a moment in the summer when - not Time per se - but hectic, anxious, nerve-wracking time would come to a standstill. Change would still happen of course, things would continue moving, interacting, but at a slower, more predictable pace...the rhythms of summer would take over with sunny days giving way to balmy nights...a certain degree of repetition would lend structure to this seeming "pause" in the action...Clouds still move across the sky, waves still crash against the shore, traffic on the roads, people walking, biking, swimming - but all in a self-contained world over which one had some semblance of control..Long days at the beach, lying in the sun or playing tennis at the community college, watching the heat rise on the pavement, shooting baskets on the outdoor courts, sitting poolside at a neighbor's house, sitting on the lawn at dusk, staying outside on summer nights with no wi...
