“There could not have been a lovelier sight; but there was none to see it except a little boy who was staring in at the window. He had ecstasies innumerable that other children can never know; but he was looking through the window at the one joy from which he must be for ever barred."

Thing is, that was a real term amongst these people a few years back, but it doesn't mean monetising dissent, it meant actually being able to sell your politics to a modern more inter-connected world. Which is not to defend it, it's a total capitulation to capitalist symbolism. That it would be reduced by the above people to, yeah i can make money off this, that's a good thing, it's why i'm pro-proper capitalism should have been obvious from the start.I'm liking that term even more than when I 'liked' it yesterday.

Didn't know that, cheers Butchers. As well as the origins of the term itself, what you say about it being part of a transition from 'dissent' through to being actively pro capitalist sounds spot on.

Jonnyvoid has posted an April fool piece in which the unions announce they going to defend their members and fight; unbelievable I know, but then has had a storm of protest because he is apparently belittling the suffering.

Yeah I saw that this morning and it was probably the only April Fool that "got" me for a few seconds
Storm of protest eh, how bloody stupid.
Yeah, well, let's face it, it's probably not every day that he gets told to do something useful with his life.

I read the title as "rebel pants" first. I'd be more interested in that book tbh. PD should make one.

I was thinking of possible PD book covers today after seeing that anti UKIP pic.

Which pic?
PD should launch a book range. We can embrace the principles of Luddism and have all our books hand written in the style of 12th century monks, before the printing press ruined their profession.
The genius of this idea is that each comrade can write every book they sell themselves, having bought a blank book in wh smiths or wherever and we just get dust jackets printed!
So with no labour costs (thank you Ned Ludd) we can sell them cheap!

Oh god I just made the mistake of looking at that article and the fucking comments beneath it.
Fuck the "left" - this humourless soulless circular pissing contest of who can leap on someone the first for the slightest thing, any deviation from the oh so serious business of fighting for the oppressed via social media, infact any lapse into any kind of humanity is pounced on and treated as if it's a hate crime. They fucking deserve to lose, I'd hate to live in their world.

Wh Smith comrade? I was sacked for stealing when I worked for them, by a man with a framed photo of Thatcher on his desk. Petty bourgeoisie oppressors of the working classes, and no mistake. The true proletariat buy their notebooks from pound stretcher.

Not defending her other stuff, of which I've read little TBH but I thought that article was alright. Just making the point the those with a message, the media have always focussed on some iconic image to present a story.

And it's her job to provide the media with those icons. It's a piece dripping in hypocrisy.
She didn't seem to be objecting to the iconography she describes. It read more like. This is how it is and if you know what I do, you know I'm part of it. A hyena talking about dinner, perhaps. Ojbectionable enough on it's own terms I spose but still, thought the piece wasn't terrible as a sort of preses.

A hyena admonishing others for killing what they eat for their (the hynena's) tea maybe.

I don't think that she's objecting to anything, it is vague because I don't think that she has any actual beliefs. She monetizes the beliefs, struggles and real or perceived suffering of others to maintain her six figure income.
