“Nestle says slavery reporting requirements could cost customers.”

Not to be a joyless communist, but if we can’t have chocolate without slavery, we shouldn’t have chocolate.

Today in Labor History August 11, 1882: Russian anarchist Volin (Vsevolod Mikhailovich Eikhenbaum) was born. He was forced into exile for his revolutionary activities during the 1905 Russian Revolution. He returned during the 1917 revolution, where he criticized the Bolsheviks, before fleeing to Ukraine, where he became a leading figure in the autonomous, anarchist commune of Makhnovshchina. He fled again, this time to France, after the Bolsheviks secured power in Russia and Ukraine, where he remained until his death from tuberculosis, in 1945, successfully evading arrest by the Nazis for his radical politics and his Jewish heritage.

The #WashingtonPost is out here doin' what capitalist papers do, pretending to be on the side of "actors and writers already struggling to get by" while complaining about the strikes and leaving the studios largely unscathed and unexamined. The article is an excellent example of Inventing Reality (or Manufacturing Consent, if you prefer).

Today in Labor History June 16, 1937: The Trotskyist POUM, a significant constituent of the Spanish Republican anti-fascist forces (and the group with which George Orwell fought) was outlawed and its militants persecuted by the counter-revolutionary Stalinists and the Republic's police, thus making both the Republic, and the Stalinists, more vulnerable to the fascists, who ultimately defeated them. Orwell had to flee because of this betrayal by the Stalinists. For a good fictionalization of the Spanish war against the fascists, and the POUM's and anarchist's betrayal by the Stalinists, see Ken Loach's Tierra y Libertad. Also, Orwell himself wrote about it in his excellent book, “Homage to Catalonia.” Another great book from this war is Hemingway’s, “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”

Many folks have been taught about “The Tragedy of The Commons” in school. But what most folks don’t know is that it was complete bunk written by a white nationalist and eugenicist to justify colonization and genocide.

Commons can be successful. Many long-standing and successful commons exist. Many were studied by Nobel Prize-winning Political Scientist Elinor Ostrom, who codified 8 principles for how commons can be governed sustainably and equitably in a community.

I’d really like for folks to stop using the term “tragedy of the commons” that assumes inevitable failure, and start calling them what they are. Commons with improper governance or “Failed commons”.
