Efrim has always been based. Have gone out of my way to financially support GY!BE and Silver Mt. Zion as much as I can. Highly recommend their live shows (if that ever becomes a thing again)
they’ve had fantastic politics for a while iirc (montreal can be pretty good for that). i wish i liked their music more haha
I’m pretty sure they were anarchists before they were Godspeed. Check out the 2001 benefit CD two of the members did for Ontario Coalition Against Poverty as Bakunin’s Bum.
i have listened to one or two Silver Mt. Zion albums, and i really really really like 13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round The Side of Your Bed
i don’t hate the rest of their music or godspeed, and it’s been a while since i listened, but i guess their style of progression is just not for me. i like a lot of progressive music but something about the ebb and flow of their songs is just not rhythmic or alive enough for me, and it ends up feeling kinda directionless
this record is about all of us waiting for the end. all current forms of governance are failed. this record is about all of us waiting for the beginning, and is informed by the following demands= empty the prisons take power from the police and give it to the neighbourhoods that they terrorise. end the forever wars and all other forms of imperialism.

What a sad, unimaginative conclusion.

What the fuck do you think a communist party would do if they gained power in a developed capitalist nation? It’s literally the most straight forward mechanism for draining their wealth.

Expropriation and the seizure of wealth through force. You can’t tax your way into a proletarian state.
Or do you think the bourgeoise will give up their wealth and power voluntarily?
Do you really think the old economic institutions would disappear literally overnight if a revolution happened? That’s not how it works.
Direct expropriation is fine eventually but the first course of action would probably be to just raise the taxes to the point where it’s effectively expropriation.
My record player’s motor just died trying to play lift your skinny fists like 10 minutes ago, hopefully I can find a replacement on ebay or in thrift store before this comes out.
Just a heads-up: as somone who spends too much money on vinyl, now is not a good time to buy anything. Everything on discogs is over priced and I can’t imagine what the market for a used turntable looks like. Hoping you can luck out, but just be forewarned.
Oh for sure, it’s funny how just like a year or so ago it felt like everything was on sale. I’m going to see if I can find the motor on ebay, if not I’ll just do what I normally do and go to thrift stores and yard sales in search of a replacement. Though I haven’t been to a yard sale since COVID started.
