in 1950 and completely restored at the end of the 70's. Today,

Homeopathic
Self-Sufficiency Site!
Yes, Capitalist Medicine is as corrupt and profit-driven
as the rest of the system.
Not only do big capitalist drug and insurance companies rip us
off and limit our access to good health care, they ALSO determine
health-care training, what gets researched, and what is acceptable
as medicine. The result? Only health care practices that bring
in the big profits are acceptable.
This is the only class-conscious health site that I know of. It
shares lots of useful, in-depth information.
One specially useful section of the site provides specific advice
on cheap and effective remedies for "Workers, Union Members,
Strikers, Activists, Demonstrators, Liberation Fighters, & All
of the Good Trouble Makers." You can find that section of
the site - here.

There
IS a Welfare problem:
CORPORATE
WELFARE Information Center
"The $150 billion for corporate subsidies and tax benefits
eclipses the annual budget deficit of $130 billion. It's more
than the $145 billion paid out annually for the core programs
of the social welfare state: Aid to Families with Dependent Children
(AFDC), student aid, housing, food and nutrition, and all direct
public assistance (excluding Social Security and medical care)."
"After World War II, the nation's tax bill was roughly split between
corporations and individuals. But after years of changes in the
federal tax code and international economy, the corporate share
of taxes has declined to a fourth the amount individuals pay,
according to the US Office of Management and Budget."
--Boston Globe series on Corporate Welfare
And the hosting site, Envirolink,
is well worth a visit too.

Working
Class Revolutions
Anarchist perspectives on Revolution: the Paris
Commune of 1871, The
Russian Revolution of 1917, The
Spanish Revolution of 1936, The Mexican Revolution, and more.
Here's how this site describes these excellent pages:
"Human history has been marked by many many attempts by ordinary
people to take power into their own hands. A lot of crap gets
talked about what a revolution is though so as well as discussing
this in the abstract here we look at specific examples of revolutions
each of which met with mixed success. These articles also seek
to answer the questions what is the role of anarchists in a revolution
and how do we get to a revolution? Above all else it aims to show
that revolutions are still possible."

Revolution and Civil War - a history in posters and photos
In July 1936, the opening shots of the 2nd World War were fired

The
Bolsheviks and Workers Control
This site says:
"The Bolsheviks and Workers Control is a remarkable pamphlet
by Maurice Brinton exposing the struggle that took place over
the running of workplaces in the immediate aftermath of the Russian
Revolution. In doing so not only does it demolish the romantic
Leninist 'history' of the relationship between the working class
and their party during these years (1917 - 21) but it also provides
a backbone to understanding why the Russian revolution failed
in the way it did. From this understanding flows alternative possibilities
of revolutionary organisation and, some 26 years after the original
was written, this is perhaps its greatest contribution today."

Do
you smoke? Do your friends smoke?
It may not be a great idea to smoke, but a lot of us do.
Here's a way for smokers (and their friends!) to:
 |
- Stop
supporting the evil transnational cigarette corporations
- Support
a Native American Tribe that collectively owns and manufactures
cigarettes
- Smoke
chemical-free smokes and stop absorbing the 500 or so
chemicals that big capital puts in their cigarettes
- Smoke
a smooth, premium quality cigarette
- Save
a LOT of money
- Make
money too and supplement your income by telling others
about it
- Help
yourself, your friends, and our sisters and brothers on
the reservations
