Generally, I consider myself a kinda sorta #Queer #AnarchoSyndicalist #Buddhist so...there you go on my appropriately vague political stance...

#Introduction for a new instance!

My name's Korin, pronouns they/them.

I'm a #union rep/organiser in #UniteTheUnion and also a proud member of the #IWW.

Politically I'm an #anarchosyndicalist at heart, i.e. I believe unions will give people a respite from capitalism enough that they can start questioning hierarchies and eventually end them. Though pragmatically for as long as we have political parties then I am very happy in the #ScottishGreens.

Any other #queer #anarchists, say hello!

No event in modern history has created more #anarchosyndicalist momentum than #WOTC 's #OGL 1.1.

Hi!
Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.

I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.

I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.

Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.

My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.

It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.

Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.

Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.

Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.

Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
Peace and Solidarity!

"The black cat, also called the "wild cat" or "sabot-cat", usually with an arched back and with claws and teeth bared, is closely associated with anarchism, especially with anarcho-syndicalism. It was designed by Ralph Chaplin, who was a prominent figure in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). As its stance suggests, the cat is meant to suggest wildcat strikes and radical unionism. The IWW was an important industrial union and was the first American labor union to recruit and organize women and people of color, playing a critical role in the fight for the eight-hour day and in free speech fights all over the country in the early 20th century. Their most famous and influential years were from 1905 until they were largely suppressed by the Palmer Raids in 1919–1920. The origin of the black cat symbol is unclear, but according to one story it came from an IWW strike that was going badly. Several members had been beaten up and were put in a hospital. At that time a skinny, black cat walked into the striker's camp. The cat was fed by the striking workers and as the cat regained its health the strike took a turn for the better. Eventually the striking workers got some of their demands and they adopted the cat as their mascot" #blackcat #wildcat #anarchosyndicalism #anarchosyndicalist #antiauthority #antigovernment #antiauthoritarian #iww #generalstrike

@Caliphora Greetings from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia... Listening this morning to @Rushkoff in a #TeamHuman podcast, joking about how he calls himself a #Marxist in a passage in his latest book because it would take too long to explain #AnarchoSyndicalist ... So I searched for that hashtag, and you are the only one representing #AnarchoSyndicalism in the Fediverse tonight. Or I don't have the hang of searching yet... ;-)

#introductionpost

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the fediverse so please bear with me. My name is Elise and I'm a 40 years young transgender woman from rural Canada.

The environment I grew in was pretty oppressive for anyone queer and racism has always been rampant here. I was raised evangelical mennonite, but was into reading about science, history and philosophy. Needless to say I questioned everything from an early age and eventually abandoned the church in spite of having a natural aptitude for ministry.

I spent my childhood bottling up a lot of feelings as I wasn't in a safe place to come out. The church was overtly homophobic and schooling rampant with bullying. It took me awhile to get to a place where I could find adequate healthcare and resources to transition. In spite of Canada being one of the safest countries in the world for trans folks there's not enough resources for transgender people and back in the 00's it was almost impossible to access proper care.

In the interim I did my best to pursue an education all while battling severe depression, gender dysphoria, CPTSD, ADHD and multiple eating disorders. I hold bachelor's degrees in Arts and Social Work. Though I have had many barriers to employment early in my transition I still value my education and apply it to my current work as a bookseller. My political beliefs are rooted in anti oppressive work, prison abolition, trade unionism and I identify as anarcho syndicalist. My idols include Angela Davis, Noam Chomsky, Leonard Pelletier and Amy Goodman. They helped shape my political views along with my old web haunts raisethefist.org, unamerican.com, infoshop.org and alternet.

I'm in a better place now and managed to find healing and recovery through art. Spoken Word Poetry, dance, Burlesque and theater being my main outlets that helped lift me up from hitting rock bottom early in my transition. It is my hope is that future generations of transgender people need not suffer what I went through as a child and I fight like hell for the rights of my kin.

Hope to meet some more like minded folks here who are into politics, activism and weirdo performance art. Feel free to HMU if you're interested in chatting.

Liberation of the working peoples is not enough to truly liberate a society. We must revolutionize all aspects of society to succeed. As with removing hierarchies in the workplace, we must also eliminate them in the home, the political offices, and the cultural institutions. A hegemonic rule of anarchist and syndicalist ideals is necessary to maintain the revolution. Autonomy, equality, and solidarity is our collective mandate. #anarchosyndicalist #anarchism #syndicalism #socialism
