The Counter-Revolution of 1776:Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America.

As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”

The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.

Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

    Tom Baker not killing the Daleks is why you should never trust libs, boomers gen x guys or British people. My high-school GF’S family was a series of hippies raised by previous hippies and they were giant anglophiles who loved dr who, I tolerated it. I love sci fi. Dr Who is bad sci fi. Indodnt like extending mercy to the nazi allegory then and dont now. Touch those fucking wires together, you absolute coward.

    Gunpla: got 2 runners fully painted up and top coated for assembly. Going full custom paint mode is a long term process and i’m starting to groove with it. I can easily be more efficient next tome I try it and ive learned a shitload off this one kit technique wise. No matter how this GM Groind type ends outni know itll be a favorite of mine just cause of all this love and effort going into it. It’s gonna look great. It’s basically a weathering/repaint. Just making it look like its been in service and in a humid environment

    So our bedroom currently stinks of smoke. Thought it was a BBQ when it started around 10pm but it’s actually a fuckin smoke cloud from some wildfire at a reservoir nearby.

    The Manchester Evening News (fascist rag masquerading as reputable local outlet) putting lot of focus on the kids who caused this latest fire, but checking the BBC article there’s… 3 (three) related posts about successive wildfires at this same fuckin location THIS YEAR.

    England is an utterly fucked ecological cesspit.

    After 6 months of him being gone, out on the streets (because the pigs took our home i.e. my van right after I lost him, so until I got my current van I had no place for him to live, so like, why bother looking for him?), I finally got my cat, Johnathon (yes, that is how his name is spelled) back. He’s white with orange splotches and kind of a tabby-looking tail. He has the sweetest most angelic-sounding meow.

    I got an email from the Humane Society a couple days after I bought my van, saying that someone found him (he’s chipped). But it took probably at least a month after that. The people who found him were difficult. I had to remind them, twice, that they have no fucking right to give my cat away to someone else. And then they had the fucking nerve to tell me not to stay in the neighborhood (the neighborhood where I have been parking/camping for years) because if he gets out again he’ll go right back to that house and they’re “not doing this again.” What a load of shit.

    Anyways, I was expecting it to take him longer to acclimate to the van and uh, like me and stuff. But last night he came out from under my bed and kind of cuddled with me and explored the van a bit while I was asleep.

    I need to get this harness on him though and he absolutely refuses. If I touch him the wrong way he punches me. He doesn’t hiss. I know it’s probably more like him swiping his claw at me but it’s all a blur and it feels like he’s punching me lol.

    […] In this connection it should be noted that the relations of production cannot for too long a time lag behind and be in a state of contradiction to the growth of the productive forces, inasmuch as the productive forces can develop in full measure only when the relations of production correspond to the character, the state of the productive forces and allow full scope for their development.[…]

    An instance in which the relations of production do not correspond to the character of the productive forces, conflict with them, is the economic crises in capitalist countries, where private capitalist ownership of the means of production is in glaring incongruity with the social character of the process of production, with the character of the productive forces. This results in economic crises, which lead to the destruction of productive forces. Furthermore, this incongruity itself constitutes the economic basis of social revolution, the purpose of which IS to destroy the existing relations of production and to create new relations of production corresponding to the character of the productive forces.

    Okay well how long is “too long a time” Joe? Awful long period of lag between the relations of production and the character of the productive forces phoenix-sweat
