Winter is a great time to ask timebankers for citrus fruit in exchange for time currency. When the seasons change, timebankers still exist in the community with a hand to help and an ear to listen. Learn about timebanking at www.sfbace.org.

Why are goods less likely to be offered on any timebank? Because it is more challenging for members to know how much time credit to charge for goods. For example, lemons, do you charge the amount of time it took to grow them or bag them? Or both? Hmmm....ponder on what your time is worth.

What do Earthquakes and Personal Crises Have in Common?

Planning for a personal crises and earthquakes are equally important.

Emergencies can happen at anytime and anywhere. Timebanking can build community support before you need it when life has those unexpected turns

The Bourgeois Lifestyle:

Consume, hate and segregate

The scheme of an individual earnestly participating in capitalist society involves selling your soul to buy leisure’s which comes from exploited labor

Do not feel guilty, the white systems in place made us this way, we need to tear it down

K-12 is mandatory indoctrination period

Higher learning institutions double down on the indoctrination and force competition within the schemes of peers, friends and classmates

The American people understands very little what cooperation and community means

Believing the natural human state is competition is as delusional as believing the earth is flat

Such a small scope of life explains these delusions

Capitalism keeps people believing in these delusions

Without a firm grasp of dialectical political theory, we are to keep our delusions

Everyone has a philosophy that founds their thoughts, and if you don’t think you have one, then one has already been made for you.

So if this is the case, are your thoughts your own? Of course not, it’s all imperial propaganda found within bourgeois institutions

Think for yourself for once pls

The US education system, both primary and secondary institutions, churn out workers through telling people WHAT to think.

Bourgeois and private interest entities alike are deathly afraid of an educated proletariat that knows HOW to think.

Expand your thought today and learn dialectics!

The path to class consciousness is the same process of establishing socialism

Both processes emerge from its originating mode of thought and mode of production respectively

So, in order to gain class consciousness, there needs to be intense self critical analysis into how one thinks and learns

Alienation - Noun
(Aye-lee-en-aye-shun)

- When a worker is removed from the products of their labor and are separated from the holistic functions of production

Alienation is:

“That’s not my job”
“It’s someone else’s job”

Alienation also maintains class division among the workers of the world!

We wonder why there is incredible turmoil and conflicts in our society. Including the contradictions in bourgeois politics, the other major contribution towards anti-intellectualism is the self alienation from the discussions of philosophy and politics from a dialectics perspective. Yap to a friend!
