Excerpt from today's Daily Bleed:

OCTOBER 27

NESTOR MAKHNO
Ukrainian anarchist general,
fought both Reds & Whites (tyranny left to right).

1682 -- Tammany, chief of the Lennilenape Delaware, greets William Penn when
        he arrives to found the Colony of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately,
the pacifist
        Quakers turn out to be just as bloodthirsty toward Indians as
all the other
        colonies.

            "Heirs of the savagery of Albigensian Crusades, Taborite
Crusades, Inquisitions &
            Witch-hunts, they see communities of Arawaks but name them
Savages.
            Carriers & agents of Leviathan, synonym for Maneater, they
see communities of
            Caribs but name them Cannibals, Maneaters.
            The names are not only projections. They are also
definitions. Once defined, the
            objects can be manipulated. Savages are potential
instruments; they can be put to
            work. Cannibals are obstacles; they have to be liquidated."

                                     "Your flags black in the

                                     sorrow, red for our

            "Aucun des commissaires n'osa se montrer
            devant les ouvriers à la tribune du Soviet. Seule
            l'anarchiste Marie Nikiphorova occupa cette
            tribune et appela, de sa voix puissante, les
            ouvriers à la lutte contre le gouvernement, pour
            la révolution et pour une société libre de toute
            autorité."
            ---Nestor Makhno, in La révolution russe en Ukraine.

     Today's Quote:

              "The law that gives a
                manor Lord the RIGHT to
                slice open the bellies of no
                more than two of his serfs,
                in order to warm his feet in
                their entrails, has gradually
                fallen into disuse."
