The Weekly Protest – Time’s They Are A Changing | James J Jackson on Patreon

Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis Times change, and so do we change with the times. That is how I live my life.  I roll with the punches.  I embrace the ups and downs of whatever time and place I’m in.  I accept change when it comes to me, even when it hurts… —Continue reading “The Weekly Protest – Time’s They Are A Changing | James J Jackson on Patreon”

Leftists, You Don’t Need to Have All The Answers, But You Need to Have Some Answers

It’s all well and good to say, “Smash the system!” I support and agree with that statement whole heartedly. However if we are not offering a genuine alternative to the status quo and the systems we are attacking then Leftists are screwing over ourselves by weakening our argument and, more importantly, we are screwing over the people we areContinue reading “Leftists, You Don’t Need to Have All The Answers, But You Need to Have Some Answers”

Millennial Paradise

Well here we are again. Another day in millennial paradise thriving under capitalist isolation and mental illness. I now need writing work more than ever. Thanks to my recent car wreck I need new glasses, a new laptop, and yes a new car, all of which costs a lot money. You remember that stuff right,Continue reading “Millennial Paradise”

Three Napkins I Scribbled My Soul On

Recently as I was filing my chaotic pile of notes that clog my writing desk I came across three napkins with sporadic red sharpie on it. I remembered that last summer I was at a huge party to see a friend’s band. In a fit of something I have yet been able to describe withContinue reading “Three Napkins I Scribbled My Soul On”

My Recent Car Wreck; Trauma Will Not Win

Like many young writers who play the professional game I picked up a part time job for some extra cash and experience to keep my resume flowing while I still look for the door to kick in and put my foot. I started canvassing for rent control in the city of Sacramento and felt wonderfulContinue reading “My Recent Car Wreck; Trauma Will Not Win”

The Soul of a Socialist

Sometimes one has to wonder, what is the point of it all? Of course many argue there is no room for existentialism in a Marxist’s life style, and I am inclined to agree. But when left alone with a hyperactive mind, one can’t help but be tempted to wonder. Since embracing my Communist identity IContinue reading “The Soul of a Socialist”

Capitalism IS a Housing Crisis

Recently during a Democratic Socialists of America Reading Group hosted by my local we discussed the introduction to the book In Defense of Housing.  One of the first topics we leaped upon was the nature and use of the term “Housing Crisis.”  Housing across the nation, and arguably the world, is one of the numberContinue reading “Capitalism IS a Housing Crisis”

Let’s All Cop to Something Unpleasant,

I think it is no secret to the more informed us that the words of Hamlet’s mother have never been more true. “Methinks they do protest too much.” The quicker any one is to defend why they are not sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic or etc. is most blatantly trying to cover their inner bigot, whichContinue reading “Let’s All Cop to Something Unpleasant,”

Forced Interactions and Social Tedium

Forced interactions,       and bring on will of apology. I do not mean to be crass, nor is my agitation personal. Forced eavesdropping, creating self imposed tedium. The advice of the sages, don’t be so hard on yourself. Don’t beat yourself up, but don’t beat them up either,       they doContinue reading “Forced Interactions and Social Tedium”

Dare I say What God is?  or Losing My Religion (Millenial Remix)

Dare I say what god is? Well as a poet and a self-inclined philosopher, of course I do. I believe in god, but as a concept. There has never been any society or culture since the beginning of humankind that did not have a word and concept for what is god.   With that said,Continue reading “Dare I say What God is?  or Losing My Religion (Millenial Remix)”

Power to the people, because Faith in the People

Folks, I want to make something clear, I like soldiers, but I don’t like the military. I like priests and preachers, but I don’t like dogma. I like capitalists, but I don’t like capitalism. My loyality is not to institutions, all instituitions crumble with time, it is people who endure.  It is people who willContinue reading “Power to the people, because Faith in the People”
