GAY LEATHER BAR HISTORY
https://www.cuirmale.nl/history/leatherbars.htm
***Memorable gay bar experiences>>>
Club Soda (North Miami), The Saint (Fort Lauderdale), Twist (South Beach, Miami), The Stonewall (New York SOHO), The Argos (Amsterdam), Admiral Duncan (London), Segretas Disco (Milano), Pan Disco (København).
There was also Glada Ankan (Karlstad, Sweden); but this was not a gay bar per se, it was the local social venue for non conformists where LGBTQi were welcome.
When I turned 21 in 1996, I ventured into The Tunnel in NYC; not a gay bar per se but nevertheless a memorable experience.
These experiences took place between 1997 and 2013. In the mid-2010's the apps (Grindr) took over and killed the gay bar. :(

Lies About Cuba Debunked no. 3

***Three lies about Cuba debunked >>>
https://www.liberationnews.org/three-lies-about-cuba-debunked/
---
Lie #3: Biden cares about “democracy” and “human rights” for the Cuban people
The truth: Biden could end the blockade and let the Cuban people live, but he wants the hardships to continue so the U.S. government can overthrow the revolution. Even short of that, Biden could immediately remove Cuba from the absurd State Sponsors of Terror list and reverse the 243 additional sanctions imposed by Trump. He does not care one bit about the Cuban people or their right to live in dignity.
The Cuban people elect their leaders and participate in decision making. Democracy has nothing to do with it – what matters is whether or not a government is loyal to Washington. Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship ruled by a king, but Biden is good friends with that regime. What motivates Biden is a desire to force Cuba to return to being a de facto colony ruled by U.S. corporations – but the people can stop him!

***Three lies about Cuba debunked >>>
https://www.liberationnews.org/three-lies-about-cuba-debunked/
#
Lie #2: The Cuban government violently represses its people
The truth: Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, the leader of the Communist Party in the province of Santiago, personally went to the demonstration to hear the grievances of the protesters. Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel reacted to the protests by saying, “Amid a blockade that aims to suffocate us, we will continue … to address the demands of our people, listen, dialogue, and explain the numerous efforts being made to improve the situation.” Leaders of the government have cautioned against letting outside powers take advantage of the situation to provoke violence.
Compare that to the actions of the U.S. government. When millions protested against racism in 2020, did Trump go to the marches to hear people’s concerns? No! He ordered police and soldiers to crush the demonstrations. This is the difference between a capitalist government that serves the elite and a socialist government that serves the people.

Lie #1: Electricity and food shortages are the result of failure by the government
The truth: For over 60 years, the U.S. government has attempted to strangle the Cuban economy by cutting it off from the rest of the world. Not only are no U.S. companies or individuals permitted to trade with Cuba, the blockade means that almost any entity from any country in the world is barred from doing business in the United States if they trade with Cuba. The blockade causes Cuba $15 million worth of losses every day.
Because Cuba is prevented from importing enough fuel, plants that generate electricity frequently have to shut down. Plus, since Cuba is prohibited from purchasing spare parts, when equipment at these plants break it can be next to impossible to fix. The same goes for modern agricultural machinery. Storms like Hurricane Ian, intensifying because of climate change, often cause major damage to crops – which cannot be replaced with imports due to the blockade.

Marxism vs Queer Theory in the 2020's (Yes Disco Version)
Second version of a video I made in the Summer of 2021 on the Marxism vs Queer Theory theme. Marxist Anti-WOKE expressed in Emergent Gender-Queer Terms.
A tribute to:
Hot Stuff
Author: Alice Echols
Subtitle: Disco and the Remaking of American Culture
Published By: W. W. Norton & Co
"Written by Alice Echols who is a professor of English and gender studies, as well as having previously been a disco DJ, Hot Stuff explores the key moments of the disco movement together with their overall place in what was a key decade for gay liberation, feminism and black freedom. As you would expect it’s very well researched and written book which combines the decades most exciting music and the stars behind it with the politics and their effect on the cultural movements and societal revolutions. Hot Stuff is a book which will broaden your knowledge about where disco sat culturally in the 70’s as a whole. Perhaps a book for people who already know the basics of the foundations of the disco scene what Hot Stuff does well is pull out the connections between records, artists, clubs and movements. It also references a lot of articles and books if you want to take your study of the genre and indeed the decade on further."

500 years ago: Pope gives permission to conquer Indigenous people

Sublimis Deus (Papal Bull, 1537)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimis_Deus
*** After 1537 Native Americans could not be enslaved, but they could still be used as indentured servants in Encomiendas. In the Sacro Imperio Español colonies, Native Americans who did not convert to Catholicism were considered to be "wild animals". Unfortunately, the prohibition on the enslavement of Native Americans created a market for the African slave trade.

Vikingarna seglar till Grönland och Nordamerika >>>
https://www.so-rummet.se/fakta-artiklar/vikingarna-seglar-till-gronland-och-nordamerika
Första kontakten mellan "vikingar" och "indianer" (skrälingar): "På återvägen mot sitt huvudläger fann de en udde som Torvald tyckte om. Här ville han bygga sitt hus, sa han. I detsamma fick några ur besättningen syn på tre underliga klumpar på motsatta sidan av en vik. När de tagit sig dit för att undersöka saken, upptäckte nordborna att det låg tre små båtar på sanden. Och under varje båt låg tre män! Det var det första kända mötet mellan Nordamerikas urinvånare och människor från Europa. Som en fingervisning om vad som sedan skulle följa dödades åtta av de nio, och den siste flydde i sin båt. Nyheten om inkräktarna måste ha väckt en väldig uppståndelse. Inom kort angreps Torvalds expedition "av en oräknelig mängd småbåtar" fulla med 'skrälingar'. Så kallade vikingarna Amerikas urinvånare."
First contact between "Vikings" and "Indians" (skrälingar): "On the way back to their main camp, they found a promontory that Torvald liked. 'He wanted to build his house here,' he said. Just then, some of the crew spotted three strange lumps on the other side of a bay. When they went to investigate, the Northmen found three small boats lying on the sand. And under each boat were three men! This was the first known encounter between North American natives (skrälingar) and Scandinavians from Europe. As an indication of what was to follow, eight of the nine were killed, and the last fled in his boat. The news of the invaders must have caused a great stir. Soon Torvald's expedition was attacked 'by an innumerable number of small boats' full of 'skrälingar'. That is what the natives of America were called by the Northmen."

When I say in the video that the progress of the Working Class towards Socialism (based on workers control of the means of production) requires "the liquidation of Social Democrats, Social Liberals and advocates of Modern Monetary Theory" I meant "Liquidation" only in the POLITICAL sense, not in the sense of "physical liquidation".

"The Republic of New Afrika (RNA), founded in 1968 as the Republic of New Africa, is a black nationalist organization and black separatist movement in the United States popularized by black militant groups. The larger New Afrika movement in particular has three goals: (1) Creation of an independent black-majority country situated in the Southeastern United States, in the heart of an area of black-majority population. (2) Payment by the federal government of several billion dollars in reparations to African American descendants of slaves for the damages inflicted on Africans and their descendants by chattel enslavement, Jim Crow laws, and modern-day forms of racism. (3) A referendum of all African Americans to determine their desires for citizenship; movement leaders say their ancestors were not offered a choice in this matter after emancipation in 1865 following the American Civil War. The vision for this Republic was first promulgated by the Malcolm X Society on March 31, 1968, at a Black Government Conference held in Detroit, Michigan. The conference participants drafted a constitution and declaration of independence, and they identified five Southern states Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina (with adjoining areas in East Texas and North Florida) as subjugated national territory."

"The basis of bureaucratic rule is the poverty of society in objects of consumption, with the resulting struggle of each against all. When there is enough goods in a store, the purchasers can come whenever they want to. When there is little goods, the purchasers are compelled to stand in line. When the lines are very long, it is necessary to appoint a policeman to keep order. Such is the starting point of the power of the Soviet bureaucracy. It "knows" who is to get something and who has to wait." /// Leon Trotsky
"A state arises, a special power is created, special bodies of armed men, and every revolution, by destroying the state apparatus, shows us the naked class struggle..." /// V.I Lenin

***This video is an excerpt from a slightly longer short originally filmed in May 2021.
---
En alternativ (ikke-menneskelig) versjon av økologisk bærekraftig primitiv (ikke-industriell/ikke-teknologisk) kommunisme.
Kollektiver (kolonier) av arbeider- og soldatmaur beviser at en form for økologisk bærekraftig primitiv kommunisme som fungerer har en objektiv eksistens i naturen.
I maurkolonier (prima-facie) er det ingen sosiale klasser (selv om de har en arbeidsdeling mellom soldater og arbeidere), de bruker ikke penger, de har ingen stat (soldatmaurene er der for å beskytte kollektivet, ikke for å håndheve abstrakte "eiendomsrettigheter") og de har ingen sosialt konstruerte kjønnsroller pålagt individuelle medlemmer av kollektivet (alle de aktive maurene er kvinner, bevingede hanner mates til larvene etter at de har impregnert dronningen).
Marxisten svarer på innvendingen om at "det er ingen måte å vite om maur er lykkelige" er at det endelige formålet med artens eksistens ikke er "lykke" (et subjektivt konsept); men heller projeksjonen av nevnte art inn i fremtiden gjennom reproduksjon. Blant mennesker eksisterer et bybasert samfunn og politisk økonomi for å lette dette målet.

An alternate (non human) version of ecologically sustainable Primitive (non industrial/non technological) Communism.
Collectives (colonies) of worker and soldier ants prove that a form of ecologically sustainable primitive communism that works has an objective existence in nature.
In ant colonies (prima-facie) there are no social classes (although there is a division of labor between soldiers and workers), they do not use money, they have no state (the soldier ants are there to protect the collective, not to enforce abstract "property rights" or laws), and they have no socially constructed gender roles imposed on individual members of the collective (all the active ants are female, winged males are fed to the larvae after they impregnate the queen).
The Marxist reply to the objection that "there is no way to know if ants are happy" is that the ultimate purpose of species existence is not "happiness" (a subjective concept); but rather the projection of the said species into the future through reproduction. Among humans, an urban based society and political-economy exist to facilitate this objective.

[Project N.A.S.U.] The Emergence of Soviet America
***EXCLUSIVE TO RUMBLE*** In this video I discuss Section 1 of the 1932 book "Toward Soviet America" by William Z. Foster in an effort to illustrate how the classic depression era Soviet America project could be reformulated in context of the 2020's.
References to "overthrowing the United States" are meant to be interpreted in a non-violent manner. Revolution need not imply mass violence (examples: Romania 1989, Argentina 2001 & Egypt 2011). Revolution is ILLEGAL and it implies CONSPIRACY; however the topic is a valid subset of political theory discussion.

Swim or Sink: Clandestine Small Business Management & Freelance Gig in #sweden
***EXCLUSIVE TO RUMBLE***
In this video I discuss my experience with clandestine small business management, drastic business model redefinition estrategies and freelance gig work in context of the Swedish/Norwegian grey market. I also elaborate on the Labor Theory of Value vs The Subjective Theory of Value and argue that a young economist in his or her 20's must come up with a synthesis of both.
The grey market or dark market (not to be confused with "parallel market") is the informal trade of a nominally legal commodity (such as cleaning services, English tutoring or private courier), through distribution channels that are not authorized by the State. Examples of organized Grey market activity: clandestine legit currency exchange dealers ("Black Forex") or the supply of Spirits/Cigarettes to the underage market.
A large proportion of the e-commerce activity prevalent in the "Dark Web" (.onion) with bitcoin as medium of exchange mostly concerns Black/Red and not Grey market activity.
The Grey Market is NOT the same as the Black Market. There are two types of Black Market; the type that supplies scarcity and the type that supplies the forbidden. In Scandinavia there is no scarcity, so the black market supplies the forbidden: Drugs, Weapons, Illicit Pornography, fake-legit identity documents, etc
Clandestine trade in debit cards, contraband smartphones and contraband luxury watches is technically Grey Market because it involves nominally legal commodities.
The Black Market is mostly controlled by Red Market actors, but not always.
A Black market that supplies legal but scarce necessary goods such as meat (Soviet Union in the 1970s) can be said to be a lifeline for those who can pay.
In the SWENOR area (Sweden, Norway) the preferred Grey/Black market currency are the 20, 50, and 100 Euro cash notes.
My clandestine economic activity was restricted to the Grey Market, I never got myself involved in Black or Red Market ("organized crime") activity.
The most succesful historical example of Red Market activity was the Italian Cosa Nostra (Sicily) - until Mussolini shut them down. The most successful Red Market entrepreneur in modern history was Al Capone of the American "Italian Mafia"...
The "Pirates of Tortuga" in the Caribbean were a previous example of successful Red Market action. Amaro Pargo (Corsair who workerd for Spain) and Henry Morgan (Corsair who worked for the British) are two famous vucaneers.
Today we have the Somali pirates who operate off the Horn of Africa...

In this video I explaim in more detail the curricular content as well as Business philosophy from Amsterdam Institute for Technical Analysis where I attended Business School in 2000. The main purpose of AITA was the promotion of Techhnical Analysis and I believe they published a quarterly journal on the topic. Thay also operated the business training program for young adult entrepeneurs that I participated in.
"Technical analysis is a trading discipline employed to evaluate investments and identify trading opportunities in price trends and patterns seen on charts. Technical analysts believe past trading activity and price changes of a security can be valuable indicators of the security's future price movements."

Tulipmanie: "Tulip mania (Dutch: tulpenmanie) was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels. The major acceleration started in 1634 and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble or asset bubble in history. In many ways, the tulip mania was more of a then-unknown socio-economic phenomenon than a significant economic crisis. It had no critical influence on the prosperity of the Dutch Republic, which was one of the world's leading economic and financial powers in the 17th century, with the highest per capita income in the world from about 1600 to about 1720. The term tulip mania is now often used metaphorically to refer to any large economic bubble when asset prices deviate from intrinsic values." (Wikipedia)

"J.P. Morgan was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church, and by 1890 was one of its most influential leaders. He was a founding member of the Church Club of New York, an Episcopal private member's club in Manhattan. Morgan was appointed as one of the first laymen on the committee that created the 1892 revision of the Book of Common Prayer, where he petitioned for the creation of a special limited collectible printing that he later financed. In 1910, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church established a commission, proposed by Bishop Charles Brent, to implement a world conference of churches to address their differences in their “faith and order.” Morgan was so impressed by the proposal for such a conference that he contributed $100,000 (equivalent to $2,282,400 in 2022) to finance the commission's work."

Marxist, Mormon & Arian (...with an i...)
Statement of Commitment #2.
Marxism is the scientific socialist political program developed by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels as expressed in the Communist Manifesto (1848).
Mormonism is the religious tradition and theology of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist Christianity started by Joseph Smith in the United States between 1830 and 1844.
Arianism is the Christological position that Jesus, as the Son of God, was created by God. It was proposed early in the 4th century by Arius of Alexandria.
