Dear friends and comrades:
I’ll be taking a week and a few days off The Paul Street Report for the badly genocide-marred “holidays” — really, to desperately try to catch up with a long list of administrative/business, financial, insurance, health, and household tasks that I have been badly neglecting. In the meantime, I request that a good bunch of you unpaid subscribers who can afford to do so become paid ones for 2024. I’m biased but I think this is one of the better Substacks around :) and certainly the most openly revolutionary one. (I’m not looking to get rich here, just trying to pay for books and an apartment assessment, car repair, and some dental insurance — and to keep this thing going for another year.) If you can’t afford financial support, please of course stay on anyway! Thank you for reading and listening to me!!
I leave you with this final Deep Thought from me in 2023:
The end of the latest year under the rolling and accelerating apocalypse that is capitalism-imperialism is a good time to reflect on what we think we are doing with our lives that is better and more important than organizing to overthrow a system whose notion of a meaningful people's choice is going as individuals into a voting booth once every four years for two minutes to make a mark next to the name of a Sick Imperialist Bastard like "Genocide Joe" Biden or next to the name of an Orange Fascist Maniac like Donald "Poisoning Our Blood" Trump.
Oh, and here’s the best photo I took in 2023 — a pic of “my” new dog Oreo and part of the Chicago Skyline behind a bit of the world’s greatest body of water, Lake Michigan:
The Paul Street Report is one of the BEST Substacks out there and what makes it so good is an author who sees things rightly. We must have a revolution or as Marx predicted, it will mean the ruin of us all. Thanks for a stimulating 2023. Enjoy your hiatus and here's to a revolutionary 2024!
Keep on keeping on Paul
Peace
