There is not much of my politics on this blog which is funny considering how much of my time is spent thinking about politics and my relation to it in terms of my art and actions.
Maybe I am scared, but of what?
Being exposed as reactionary to the people who share my politics....
Showing my true feelings about the state of the world and our complicity in capitalism's oppression of 2 thirds of the worlds population and the environment and angering, or alienating myself from, older friends and people I meet....
Scared that if I put my politics out there people will see my contradictions and deviations and pull me up on them or make light of what I believe and how I am trying to live.
I am an anti-capitalist
I am not afraid to be an anti-capitalist
But what about the other mums at the under ones group, why do i not speak up when someone asks if I think Asda or Next is better for boys clothes , saying "I don't buy clothes from either of them because I do not want to be complicit in child labour and Asda/wallmart is a capitalist scumbag multinational on the same scale as nestle, the baby killers". Instead I skirt around the question answering"I wouldn't know, I get most of Billy's clothes at the car boot-sale".
There are no innocent bourgeois
