Bring Back Exile

Wittol: Someone who knows and tolerates their partner’s infidelity.

Pig: Metonymy or allusion to a member of the police.

Cuck: Short-hand for cuckold (a person who’s partner is adulterous).

My biggest complaint about Jacob Frey is that while purporting to be a liberal, he is a defender of the police, an institution which undermines many, if not all liberal ideals. He wants to partner with them, but doesn’t recognize the short-sightedness of this relationship. Whether he knows it or not, his good intentions are being diluted and bastardized. In his handling of the police, Jacob has shown himself to be a wittol pigcuck!

Ultimately, the cops serve as the last line of defense between the working class and the oligarchs, the bourgeois, the defenders of capital – Jacob belongs to this upper class – those who co-opt progressivism. He may not be a millionaire, but he defends their interests, interests which are cruel, self-serving, white supremacist, and violent. Jacob defends systems of oppression and has been disingenuous with his campaign promises. 

The Bring Back Exile (a.k.a. Ostracism) campaign is an effort to put exiling a local politician to a vote, every year. B.B.E. is meant to empower the electorate by allowing them to send a clear message to the politician of their choice: “Shame on you!”

It serves as a form of punishment / re-education for the ineffectual leader as well as a catharsis for the citizen. After being selected by majority vote, the exiled politician would need to spend one – three years in exile before occupying a leadership role again, political or otherwise. There are many possible nominees for exile, but I’ve chosen Frey as the “figure-head” of this campaign. As the leader of Minneapolis during a pivotal moment in U.S. history (the murder of George Floyd and the peoples’ demand for systematic change), Jacob showed an unwillingness and a lack of ingenuity to address the horrors of our society.

• Politically speaking, I am an anarchist and an utopianist.
  • For me, anarchism resides within the realm of freedom, and has left behind the realm of necessity.
    • Karl Marx in Capital: “The realm of freedom actually begins only where labour which is determined by necessity and mundane considerations ceases; thus in the very nature of things it lies beyond the sphere of actual material production.” Marx goes on to say that the shortening of the working day is the basic prerequisite for the realm of freedom.
  • Anarchy does not refer to chaos, violence (except for legitimate self-defense), or nihilism. It means that we (the people) can do a better job at structuring our society than the capitalistic hierarchy. Anarchism resides in a society so well organized, that all of our basic needs are met, with the fewest number of people needing to work.
  • Utopianism is often a pejorative for the privileged, highly educated class, who try to impose their lofty realm of ideas upon the material world. I do believe in some distant utopia, but unlike “traditional utopianism”, it is the material world which must inform our ideas and conceptions of what is possible. For instance, a material truth seems to be that people can’t participate in society when they are constantly fighting to survive within the realm of necessity, i.e. make money.
• Thank you for reading a little about me and the basics of my cosmology / belief system. I hope it’s enough for you to either embrace or reject this digital commons as a place for good faith conversation. Cheers!
