Workers' Girder! Getcher Workers Girder!

Is that where Derek Smalls led Spinal Tap during their brief sojourn through jazz fusion?

Spork as a term is inheritanly racism and ethnocentric. Just consider the word: SPO-rk. Undermining the utilitarian and spiky proletarian fork in favour of the effete and soi disant dilettantism of the spoon. Instead we, as embodiments of the proletarian spirit (Thankyou, cmbbe Rhetta), embrace the FOR-n. Not simply a rejection of all that is failing in the world crisis of capitalist cutlery, but also a act of symbolic solidarity with the toiling masses of the world. (Forn\ foreign)

"Spork" is also inherently sexist and anti-feminist, objectifying as it does the protruding tines of the spork, and leaving barely acknowledged the utility of the bowl.

PD should abandon the fetishisation of petty local struggles and look exclusively eastward, to China, which is not only host to a vast militant (but misguided) industrial working class and as far as we are aware, a hitherto untapped seam of potential Workers Girder readership, crucially it is also the home of the chopstick - True Cutlery.

 

[JimW]

Though the controversial cutlery has come in useful for our broad front with the unwitting liberals, Spork and Beans. They'll still be chuckling about the name in the camps after liberation.

PD hammer squad get-up will be modelled on that of the foreign legion's pioneers, beards and all, (yes even for comrades who identify as female)

I have a fake beard around here somewhere copliker - couldn't have my Chartered Engineer Professional Review without it!

Police have turned a large section of Hamburg, including the centre of the city’s nightlife area, into a restricted zone in the wake of attacks on officers and violent protests.

The so-called “Gefahrengebiet” gives officers extra powers to stop, search and ban people from the area and covers the red light district of the Reeperbahn, the Old Town, St Pauli and Altona Nord.

PD need to fly in a #solidarity column asap. It's just my 8 months pregnant friend holding the line atm.

To all who will be engaging in the New Statesman occupation - May this pic of Joe Higgins serve as a sobering reminder that there is a tiny but not insignificant chance that things might get silly. Last chance to back out, nearly.

I know this is in really bad taste, but the position he's being held in reminds me of marker pen drawings we used to get in the bogs at school, usually with the caption 'your mum'.

I think we have another below-ground high profile PD supporter:

Chuckle Theory's ineluctable amble continues apace.

Thirty-four US Air Force officers entrusted with the world’s deadliest weapons have been removed from launch duty for allegedly cheating or tolerating cheating by others on routine proficiency tests.

The announcement is another stunning setback for a nuclear missile force already beset by missteps and leadership lapses.

The cheating scandal is the latest in a series of air force nuclear gaffes documented in recent months, including deliberate breaches of safety rules, failures of inspections, breakdowns in training and evidence that the men and women who operate the missiles from underground command posts are suffering burnout.

I think PD needs to have a serious debate on the topic of safe spaces. In particular, I think the most immediate tasks are to theorise ways in which we can make workers bomb factories and barricades into safe spaces, especially during the revolution/insurrection, as getting shot at, fallout, radiation and the threat of assassination are problematic as they may make womyn and POCs feel unsafe.

I think this may be a job for frogwoman .

Proletarian Democracy safe spaces policy

First of all each stage of the workers bomb production process (actually the workers bomb should be renamed the people's bomb because 'workers' may be alienating to those of our allies who don't have a job) should be decided by a consensus decision process. It will no !longer be acceptable for one privileged middle aged man to make a unilateral decision on the part of the group over the language to be used in descriptions of the plutonium fuel rods (and 'rods' with its macho connotations should be renamed 'poles' in all future PD publications to symbolize our openness to the pole dancing profession).

At every stage of the production process of the bomb care should be taken to ensure a safe and intersectional space. For example bomb blasts should no longer be assumed to be 'dangerous' with its patronizing connotations of keeping weaker members of Proletarian Democracy out of the way, the whole concept of health and safety was born out of a colonial desire to protect the so-called weaker members and as such must be discarded. Women especially must learn to embrace danger, throw away their constraining protective suits and learn to stop worrying and love the bomb!

Might I recommend renaming "rods" as "batons", poles is reminiscent of pole dancing.
