Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Watching the videos linked in Annie's article, I was moved to tears. Having recently graduated from college when "Reckoning" came out, it was a time of great worry but fierce resistance, yet almost innocent compared to today.

On Pop, U2 embraced the sounds and pulses of the club | Treble
With 1997's Pop, U2 embraced electronic elements and dance club culture, humbling themselves to contemporary sounds instead of defying them.
