[Marxism] Gil Scott heron, RIP
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/05/27/us/AP-US-Obit-Gil-Scott-Heron. html?_r=1hp May 27, 2011 Gil Scott-Heron, Spoken-Word Musician, Dies at 62 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) Musician Gil Scott-Heron, who helped lay the groundwork for rap by fusing minimalistic percussion, political expression and spoken-word poetry on songs such as The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, died Friday at age 62. A friend, Doris C. Nolan, who answered the telephone listed for his Manhattan recording company, said he died in the afternoon at St. Luke's Hospital after becoming sick upon returning from a European trip. We're all sort of shattered, she said. Scott-Heron's influence on rap was such that he sometimes was referred to as the Godfather of Rap, a title he rejected. If there was any individual initiative that I was responsible for it might have been that there was music in certain poems of mine, with complete progression and repeating 'hooks,' which made them more like songs than just recitations with percussion, he wrote in the introduction to his 1990 collection of poems, Now and Then. He referred to his signature mix of percussion, politics and performed poetry as bluesology or Third World music. But then he said it was simply black music or black American music. Because Black Americans are now a tremendously diverse essence of all the places we've come from and the music and rhythms we brought with us, he wrote. Nevertheless, his influence on generations of rappers has been demonstrated through sampling of his recordings by artists, including Kanye West. Scott-Heron recorded the song that would make him famous, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, which critiqued mass media, for the album 125th and Lenox in Harlem in the 1970s. He followed up that recording with more than a dozen albums, initially collaborating with musician Brian Jackson. His most recent album was I'm New Here, which he began recording in 2007 and was released in 2010. Throughout his musical career, he took on political issues of his time, including apartheid in South Africa and nuclear arms. He had been shaped by the politics of the 1960s and the black literature, especially of the Harlem Renaissance. Scott-Heron was born in Chicago on April 1, 1949. He was raised in Jackson, Tenn., and in New York before attending college at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. Before turning to music, he was a novelist, at age 19, with the publication of The Vulture, a murder mystery. He also was the author of The Nigger Factory, a social satire.

Re: [Marxism] Gil Scott heron, RIP
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/music-obituari es/8543514/Gil-Scott-Heron.html Gil Scott-Heron Gil Scott-Heron, who died on May 27 aged 62, was a composer, musician, poet and author whose writings and recordings provided a vivid, and often stinging, commentary on social injustice and the black American experience; his declamatory singing style, allied to the overtly political content of his work, made him widely recognised as one of the inspirational figures of rap music. Scott-Heron first came to attention with his 1970 recording The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, an attack on the mindless and anaesthetising effects of the mass media and a call to arms to the black community: You will not be able to stay home, brother./You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out./You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,/Skip out for beer during commercials,/Because the revolution will not be televised. Written when Scott Heron was just 18, it first appeared in the form of a spoken-word recitation, his impassioned incantation accompanied only by congas and bongo drums, on his debut album Small Talk at 125th and Lenox. The following year Scott-Heron recorded the song for a second time, this time with a full band, for his album Pieces of a Man, and as the B-side to the single Home Is Where The Hatred Is. The song went on to be covered, sampled and referenced in innumerable recordings, the title entering the lexicon of contemporary phraseology. In 2010 it was named as one of the top 20 political songs by the New Statesman. Scott-Herons music reflected something of the militancy and self-assertiveness of such theorists and polemicists as Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael. Over the course of some 20 albums he produced a series of sardonic and biting commentaries on ghetto life and racial injustice, including Whiteys On The Moon, Home Is Where The Hatred Is, The Bottle (a lamentation about people squandering their lives on liquor, set to an irresistibly seductive Latin beat) and the anti-apartheid anthem Johannesburg. But anger was only colour in Scott-Herons music palette; songs such as Must Be Something and Its Your World were moving affirmations of faith in the power of the human spirit. A tall, rail-thin man with a wispy goatee beard and a countenance of prophetic gravity, Scott-Heron sang in a rough, declamatory voice that was once described as a mixture of mahogany, sunshine and tears and that always emphasised lyrical content over technique. The bass player Ron Carter, who played on Scott-Herons second album, Pieces of a Man, described it as a voice like you would have for Shakespeare. His vocal style, and his political message, would be a major influence on such groups as Public Enemy and NWA, and would lead to his being described as the godfather of rap. It was a title that Scott-Heron himself always deplored: his music covered a far broader and more sophisticated emotional range than the crude rhetoric of so much rap music, which he dismissed on the ground that you dont really see inside the person. Instead, you just get a lot of posturing. He preferred to describe himself as a bluesologist. Gil Scott-Heron was born in Chicago on April 1 1949. He was named after his father, Gilbert Heron, a Jamaican who had settled in America, where his prowess at football (soccer) brought him to the attention of talent scouts from Scotland; in the early 1950s Gilbert snr played football professionally for Celtic and Third Lanark, earning the nickname the Black Arrow, before returning to Chicago. It was there that he met Gils mother, Bobbie, a librarian and an accomplished singer who had once performed with the New York Oratorial Society. Scott-Heron would encapsulate his early years in a poem, Coming From A Broken Home: Womenfolk raised me and I was full grown/before I knew I came from a broken home. His parents separated when he was two, and he was sent to live with his maternal grandmother, Lillie Scott, in Jackson, Tennessee. Scott-Heron would credit his grandmother with being one of the primary influences on his life: [She] raised me to not sit around and wait for people to guess whats on your mind I was gonna have to say it. Cultivating his interest in music and literature, she bought him a second-hand piano from a local funeral parlour and introduced him to the writings of the Harlem Renaissance novelist and poet Langston Hughes, who utilised the rhythms of jazz in his poetry and who became a major influence. When Gil was 12 his grandmother died, and he moved to New York to be reunited with his mother, who brought up her son on her own. On the recommendation of his high school English teacher, Gil won a scholarship to a

[Marxism] Nation: Army, Muslim Brotherhood vs. Tahrir Square
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Published on The Nation (http://www.thenation.com) Army, Muslim Brotherhood Vs. Tahrir Square Robert Dreyfuss | May 27, 2011 Things don't look good in Egypt. The emerging alliance between the Egyptian army and the right-wing Muslim Brotherhood seems to be in control, and it's likely that the elections for parliament will produce an assembly dominated by the Brotherhood and the (military-linked) National Democratic Party, the remade party that controlled the country during the Mubarak era. Today, in Cairo's Tahrir Square, many of those who organized the revolt that toppled Mubarak were back in the square, protesting the slowness of Egypt's democratic evolution. They were calling, they said, for a second revolution. But according to reports from Cairo [1], only several thousand appeared. Noticeably absent was the Brotherhood, which denounced the rally. (In a statement today, the Muslim Brotherhood asked [1]: Who are the people angry with now?) In the square itself, one the slogans chanted was: Where is the Muslim Brotherhood? On its Facebook page-isn't it perverse that the ruling Egyptian military council communicates its positions via Facebook?-the military warned [1] that the Tahrir Square rally was organized by suspicious elements who will try to pit the military against the people. Not far away, a rally of several hundred people held a counter-rally of sorts. Their slogan [2]? For the sake of our country, we want to be ruled by the army. On CNN, Fareed Zakaria had it about right [3]: We think of Egypt as having gone through a regime change. But it really didn't go through a regime change. Egypt has been run since 1952 by a military dictatorship. It is still run by a military dictatorship. Mubarak resigned. A few people around him resigned. But at the end of the day the military still holds power. They have a huge vested interest in maintaining the current system politically, financially and socially. They aren't going to go quietly into the night. According to Al Ahram, the semi-official Egyptian daily, which has undergone a regime change of its own, there were reports that the youth wing of the Muslim Brotherhood has planned to take part in the Second Day of Rage events today, but it isn't clear that they did so. The younger members of the Brotherhood are far less dogmatic than the older ones, but they're also not part of the group's leadership, and it isn't clear what clout they have. Reports Al Ahram [4]: Many of the leading activist groups, including the 6 April Youth movement, the Coalition of Revolutionary Youth, Al-Masry Al-Hurr, ElBaradei Campaign, the Egyptian Movement for Change, the Maspero Copts movement, the Muslim Brotherhood Youth wing and expected presidential candidate Bothaina Kamel have all announced their intention to take part. And the military, through the so-called Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, is arresting people-including leaders of the April 6 Youth Movement-who were organizing today's events, and taking other measures to curtail it, reports Al Ahram [4]: The SCAF used several tactics to prevent people from joining the protest, from sending ousted president Mubarak and his two sons to criminal court, releasing statements on Facebook saying suspicious elements were asking people to protest and playing on the relationship between the people and the army, and finally on Thursday arresting activists leafleting about the 27 May protests.

[Marxism] Venezuela govt. condemns US sanctions against state oil company
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == In support of the sanctions against Iran, which, regardless of views of the Iranian government, I assume we do and should oppose unconditionally. Fred Feldman http://venezuelanalysis.com/news/6217 Venezuela Condemns U.S. Imperialist Sanction By Rachael Boothroyd - Venezuelanalysis.com Coro, May 25th 2011 (Venezuelanalysis.com) The Venezuelan government criticised the Obama administrations move to impose sanctions on Venezuelas state oil company Pdvsa, calling the sanctions an imperialist attack against Venezuela. The U.S. State Department enforced the sanctions in an attempt to put further pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear programme by penalising companies which continue to trade with the Islamic Republic. U.S. Vice Secretary of State James Steinberg, who made the announcement to journalists on Tuesday, said that in approving the sanctions the U.S. wanted t send a clear message to companies which continue to irresponsibly support Iran they will suffer serious consequences, he said. Between December 2010 and March 2011 Venezuela, which has friendly bilateral relations with Iran, exported $50 million worth of a fuel additive to Iran. The U.S. government deemed the trade relations to be in breach of the 1996 Iran Sanctions Act. The U.S. needs to move quickly to cut off Chávezs source of revenue, and bring an end to both his influence in Latin America and his dangerous relationship with the terrorist-supporting Iranian regime before its too late, said U.S Congressman and Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, Connie Mack. The measures will also affect other smaller companies in Jersey, Monaco, the United Arab Emirates, Israel and Singapore. Although Pdvsa will continue to sell oil on the U.S. market, the sanctions which will last two years prevent the company from entering into contracts with the U.S. government, as well as barring it from import-export finance programmes and obtaining licenses for U.S. oil processing technology. None of the companys subsidiaries will be affected. Venezuelan Government: Sovereign Nation In a press conference on Tuesday, Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Relations Nicolas Maduro said: We are not afraid of these sanctions, nor are we going to debate the reasons that the North American government may have, but Venezuela is sovereign in making its decisions. An official document rejecting the sanctions was drafted and signed by pro-Chavez Venezuelan ministers, but opposition politicians refused to sign it. This shows once again that these politicians are representatives of North American imperialism, said Energy and Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez. Ramirez also stated: The imperialist powers are hoping to dictate the rules to us. They will have to go without, because we are going to keep advancing towards creating unity between oil-producing countries. Pdvsa Workers Stage Day of Action In the early hours of this morning Pdvsa workers initiated a day of action in defence of the company, taking part in demonstrations, take-overs of oil refineries, cultural activities and convoking a popular assembly in order to manifest their support for the governments foreign policy. Workers have been engaged in activities in Anzoátegui, Carabobo, Monagas and other states throughout the day. A female worker in Monagas, Chiquín Yánez, said that the workers will not accept Yankee imperialist interference in the sovereignty of Venezuela. The new Pdvsa is an independent company and the workers of this national company do not obey Yankee imperialism. Expressing a similar sentiment, Domingo Franco, who works in Pdvsa, reiterated the workers rejection of North American interventionism, stating: We reject this latest North American interference in Venezuelan matters. The workers are at the ready to defend our oil industry. Our call is to defend the Orinoco [Oil] Belt. The imperial powers want our natural riches and we will defend our resources even with our life. Womens and peasant organisations, alternative media, and community councils also organised a march in Caracas in response to the sanctions. Socialist womens activist Anais Arismendi said the popular movement condemned the unilateral decisions taken by a criminal state such as the U.S.A, which dont respect international conventions, adding that the U.S. was trying to organise another right-wing offensive against the processes and countries which are currently liberating their own people. Iran Reaction Although Iranian President Ahmadinejad maintains that the programme is purely for supplying energy to civilians, the U.S. claims that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad has previously accused nuclear nations of monopolising science and

[Marxism] My favorite passage from B. Traven
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == From Trozas: Don Remigio left the men, who had been on the march since one in the morning to get there from their last bivouac by midday, standing in the tropical glare of the sun as if they were blocks of stone. Whether they were seriously sunburnt or even collapsed or went off their head, that didn’t seem to worry him. They cost so much of his money. He had to pay off each individual’s debts, since it was on account of them that the man had been sold or peddled to him. For each individual he had to pay the president of the municipality of Hucutsin the tax on the labor contract at a rate of twenty-five pesos, so that the authorities would arrest the man if he ran away. What is more, he had to pay a high commission to the advertising agents who bought out peons from the fincas, the estates and the villages, who were in debt to their masters, as well as other Indians whose police fines had to be paid in order to bring them here. No one could expect that the enganchadores, the advertising agents, would work for nothing, still less as they were in a business in which they hoped to get very rich. Finally, a cash advance had been paid to every man recruited by the agents, the better to tempt the men to confirm their contracts before the municipal president and thus, in the eyes of the civilized world, give the impression that it was a simple labor contract such as can be concluded anywhere on earth. The old cacique knew far better than the newly fledged dictators how to conceal the true conditions in his country from the suspicions of the other nations, helped by a gagged and self-corrupting press that groveled before him. What the workers themselves said or spread abroad was nothing but lies and slander. Truth was only what was written in the labor contracts, acknowledged by the workers, and stamped by an official authority. That the Indian workers could neither read nor write the dictator did not regard as his fault. Why didn’t they learn to read and write? They were too stupid for it and just didn’t want to learn. All the amounts and payments that the contratista [contractor] laid out for a man he had recruited, that man had to earn back in the jungle. A contratista could not be expected to pay out all those amounts for an Indian, or even for two hundred of them, out of pure philanthropy, and then tell the man: Many thanks for your friendliness, allowing me to pay your debts and give you an advance, which you take so you can get pissed and go whoring. Go back to your father’s house, increase and multiply, and live happy and contented to the end of your days! What would become of a contratista who did that sort of thing? In this world, where everybody has to fight for a crust of bread, even a contratista cannot give things away without there being something at the other end. He has to work damned hard to be able to live and to make something of it. If it happens that he has nothing once he is old, then he can go begging. So he must take care of his welfare as long as he is in a position to. Wife and children at home have to live too. And if he has to work hard himself, why not the peons? They’re not used to anything else anyway and do nothing but fool around. If they have no work to do, they just get pissed. Instead of thinking of something else, most of all how they can pay off their debts and escape from enslavement, they waste their good strength on nothing but bringing a crowd of kids into the world. Besides, the people in New York and London want mahogany furniture. Why they want it has nothing to do with us contratistas. That is their business. But there is money to be made from it, a lovely mountain of money. Our jungles are full of caoba. We have no idea what to do with so much caoba. We have such an infinite amount of it that we actually make our railroad ties out of mahogany and ebony. Why shouldn’t we provide a few tons of our rich excess of this handsome wood for suffering mankind? Of course, it does have to be got out of the jungle. We contratistas can’t do that by ourselves. I least of all. I get great blood-blisters on my hands if I cut caoba just for three hours. Mahogany is as hard as iron, damn it. But those Indians, boozy fuckers that they are, are lucky to be able to do something for their fatherland and raise the exports figure. This attitude of the contratistas is thoroughly comprehensible; it shows reason and a profound insight into the confused laws of world economics. Of course, the Indian thinks about it differently. But then he is only a wretched proletarian, not a director of a bank. And it is simply incomprehensible to any normal-thinking man that those goddamn proletarians simply won’t ever
