Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones, But Words You See; They Move Me
Tutto su di me
I am Samson I am young and underwhelmed. I am outspoken.

Pretty much owe my worthless life to Tony, Craig, Jarvie, Anna-May, Fraser and Kerr.

I like to play guitars. I like to play drums. I like to play synthesizers and pianos. I like to sing. I like to write music. I like to write lyrics. I like to play in bands. I like to swim when at my perfect weight only. I like older women. I like to play football. I like watching football.

OCD - I can't switch my tv off unless I do it 6 times. It's off....but in my head....I know it's not REALLY off - It'll come on as soon as my back is turned and kill my family.

But with the 6 times rule, I can relax in the knowledge that it's "properly off".:)

Three fave things: Kate Nash, gasoline and matches.

"You'll go along with it, then drop it
And humiliate me in front of our friends
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin'"

What, you mean your FUCKING singing voice? You complete TOOL Kate Nash!!!!

Nae ID Cards, Nae NIR!

Politics & Philosophy
Determinist, atheist, nihilist, materialist, falsificationist, internationalist. Susceptible to various socialist and libertarian schools of political thought. Communitarian. Strictly anti-capitalist. Consider 'anarcho'-capitalism to be crypto-fascism. In order for society at large to be emancipated from oppression and economic exploitation via state or boss, imperialism, gross social inequality, anarchy of production and anti-democratic governance by the economically dominant class, direct worker control over the means of production is mandatory. All socioeconomic systems of this order are considered socialist. Rejection of reformist social-democractic and democratic socialist doctrines as naive-cum-opportunist. "Unemployment and inflation are not caused by immigration. It's bullshit. Come off it. The enemy is profit!". Belief that another world is possible and that communist reorganisation of society allows for the development of valued community cohesion.

  • Minimum Wages, Profit Motive, Class Conflict And Consumer Detriment

    Some basics. Thoughts on conflict of interest.

    The grow-or-die dynamic of a market economy inevitably leads capitalists into competition with one another for a greater share of the market, and if taken to its conclusion, an oligopoly. This competition culminates in suppliers and service providers aiming to produce as cheaply as possible. A clear way to cut overheads, is to lower the wages of the employee.

    Due to the tireless struggle of the labour movement, trade-unionists have succeeded in gaining concessions, such as the minimum wage, in order to avert a 'race-to-the-bottom' for workers. This, by definition, prevents wages from falling below the set threshold, and means that the capitalist must pursue alternative methods of maximising profit, and reducing overheads. These alternative methods often lead to detrimental consequences for workers, or consumers.

    In each instance, the objective is to minimise the cost of production:

    1) The lowering of the quality of production; components, instruments of labour, ingredients, etc. The most obvious impact of this is the reduction of a product's overall quality, and subsequently poorer standards for consumers, with, in turn, a potential to deplete demand, and as a consequence, profit (compounding the initial problem and leading to a downward spiral).

    With regards to foodstuffs, the effects of this can be dangerous, as evidenced during the Sanlu milk scandal of 2008 (not least of all for Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinping, who were sentenced to death by The Intermediate People's Court for their role in the scandal which killed 6 infants), or, again in 2008, the Sichuan province earthquake, where thousands of school children died needlessly following cost-cutting measures in the building of schools, which collapsed around them. Even Robert Tressell's "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists" depicts the unscrupulous watering-down of paint!

    Consumers, of course, are not the only losers in the cost-cutting necessity. Just ask a battery chicken, or a dairy cow, for example. The appalling treatment of animals by companies such as McDonalds is no secret, either, as the drive to minimise overheads impacts on the living conditions of animals. This has lead to many animal-rights activists to join the anti-capitalist movement in the past. As a digression, another important impact on consumers resulted when Monsanto began injecting dairy cows with Posilac. The drug increased the milk production of cows (meaning that less are required to provide more milk, saving money), but had the unfortuate side-effect of inflaming the cow's udders. This sometimes resulted in suppuration (pus) being excreted from the udders into milk.

    If you're wondering - yes. The milk was sold to consumers.

    Likewise, the cheapest method of production is often the dirtiest from an ecological perspective, contributing to pollution, and of course, climate change.

    b) This process passes down the chain of suppliers. The service provider at point-of-service is faced with this cost-cutting task, but so are it's own suppliers, and their supplier's suppliers!


    (EDIT: c) I mentioned McDonald's, and another consequence of this occurred to me. Perhaps someone can verify this, but I was told not so long ago, that the McDonalds branch in Jamaica Street, Glasgow, was given a deliberate decor designed to make customers "feel uneasy". The point being, to get them out of the door as fast as possible. If true, surely we must ask if we 'want' to live in a society where or environ is designed to disperse us and make us uneasy when we're digesting our non-nutritional food and watered-down drinks.

    *Is expecting a call from their lawyers any moment now*)


    2) Increase 'worker efficiency'. Despite the alluring nature of the word 'efficiency', this can often mean that the worker must work faster, harder, for longer hours, in poorer conditions, or with shorter breaks and the neglection of health and safety regulations which

  • "We're All In This Together", Apparently


    I had just typed up a damning article designed to build a case against voting Tory at the next general election when I decided to delete the whole thing and make a single, concise point. Frankly, anyone still voting for them after considering this sole piece of information which refutes their false pretences ought to be ostracised by the working class.

    First a little background.

    The party which gave us Thatcher's infamous speech, designed to encourage an individualistic, selfish and greedy mentality in the UK; "There is no such thing as society", has apparently had a change of heart since the capitalists benefiting from said disposition have royally buggered up their market economy.

    At this week's Conservative conference, David Cameron suddenly concluded that there IS such a thing as society after all! At least, there is when you're doubled over a barrell with your pants around your ankles.

    "We're all in this together" now, according to Team Cameron's new mantra. Teachers, firemen, doctors, nurses, the disabled - we all have to shoulder responsibility. We're all one big happy family. It would be wrong of us to allude to the role of the banking sector in helping to create the greatest economic recession in over 100 years.


    If "we're all in this together", then it stands to reason, surely, that public sector spending has to be cut.

    The saliva could be viewed slipping uncontrollably from Gideon Osborne's chin as he vowed to cut tax credits and baby bonds whilst freezing public sector pay and raising the retirement age. "Difficult times call for difficult decisions". How crestfallen the Tories musy be at the prospect of cutting state sector spending....


    Of course, whilst we all need to be just that little bit more parsimonious and the public sector has to suffer whilst the country's priority is to claw back the fiscal deficit in the name of responsible budgeting.....there's something that the Tories aren't so quick to discuss........


    The super-rich by sticking to his pledge to raise the inheritance tax threshold to £1million at a cost £3.1billion to the tax payer.


    To put this into perspective, do you stand to gain £1,000,000 in inheritence? How many people do you know who do?

    We're so desperate for the economy to recover that we have to cut health and education spending.....but we can afford £3.1bn in tax-breaks for the richest sections of our society?

    I'm willing to bet that neither you nor anyone you know stands to gain from this tax proposal. But do you know who does? David Cameron and Gideon Osborne, as well as many parliamentary Tories coming from well-to-do families.

    And there you have it. That single issue should tell you everything you need to know about the upper-class Tory slime. For all of their posing as the new compassionate party of the poor, they're still in politics only to fiddle the figures to suit their own interests.

    We may all be "in this together", but we're in it together against the Tories scum.

      well it's worth keeping an eye on their websites for updates but it's unlikely they'll put anything up we can use to our advantage, I know a guy who thinks he's the big man with the Rangers loyalist groups and it's associated right wing element, so I quite often nod along and let him spill bullshit. For the greater good mate.

      Galloway is something else altogether, I don't agree on loads of his beliefs (anti-Scottish Nationalism, Belief in God, to name but two) but the good out weighs the bad and well... he's really entertaining.

      oh and incidentally have you seen all the coverage in the papers and news regarding that scum Polanski? And these Hollywood celebrities outraged at his arrest! Whoopi Goldberg "it wasn't rape-rape" - there's a difference?? If she reads the details of the stuff he ADMITED to doing, then yeah it's fucking Rape. - sorry mate it's one of those things that get my goat. The JFK JR thing, with enough coin and clout you can buy your way out of anything. Anyway, Galloway is on soon - everything's better after a bit of Gorgeous George.

      shit man I had no recollection of posting that comment, need to cut back on the drinking I think.

      Yeah Betrand Russell is great, working my way through his History of Western Philosophy, really accessible. Great man.

      Didn't know much about Hegel apart from Dialectics and I knew Russell wasn't a big fan. I'll need to look into him as a person next.

      Yeah Guy Aldred, the Anarchist, wasn't sure if you were aware of him, done a lot of work here in Scotland.

      Oh and word on the street is the EDL/SDL or whatever the cunts are calling themselves are thinking of switching the protest to a former pub in Kilmarnock that a muslim group have bought with the intention of turning into either a mosque or islamic community centre, something like that. It seems minorities are daring to pay money for an empty building and, wait for it, put something in it for their communities to come together in. I know, HOW DARE THEY!!
