EAT THE STATE!

A Forum for Anti-Authoritarian Political Opinion, Research and Humor

Eat The State! is a shamelessly biased political journal. We want an end to poverty, exploitation, imperialism, militarism, racism, sexism, heterosexism, environmental destruction, television, and large ugly buildings, and we want it fucking now. We are not affiliated with any political group or party.

"Turn It Up"

Iain Boal

Text of remarks by Iain Boal at Black Oak Books in Berkeley on September 24 during an evening of readings and discussion sponsored by PEN West in observation of Banned Book Week.

"No oppressive regime can press on the hot lid of a boiling pot forever". These are the words of the imprisoned South African poet and musician, Mzwakhe Mbuli. He was born in the 1950s in Sophiatown--the Harlem of Johannesburg--home also to Hugh Masekela, Abdullah Ibrahim and other writers, musicians, and poets later driven into exile or killed. His hometown was razed to the ground in the early 1960s by apartheid's bulldozers, now a more familiar instrument of terror, then rebuilt as an Afrikaaner settlement and renamed Triomf ("Triumph").

"Tribute to Edward Said"

Mustafa Barghouthi

It is with heartbreaking sorrow that the Palestinian National Initiative
announce the tragic death of Edward Said who passed away today after eleven years fighting leukemia. At this time our thoughts and love are with his family. We wish them strength and courage and assurance that Edward will be a man forever remembered not only for his incredible achievements but for his remarkable qualities as a friend. Though words may do little at such a time to assuage the pain and grief something must be said to pay homage to a man and a life we should truly celebrate.

A man with great courage and clear conviction Edward Said was a shining light in a confused world. As a true intellectual giant, Said inspired all fields with his accomplishments. The passion which infused his intellectual abilities presented him as a man with clear visions to be greatly admired, trusted and respected.

Though his beliefs and commitments presented him with many challenge his statements and many testimonies of outrage at the hypocrisies, contradictions, and indignities so rife in the world gave him the integrity and honesty for which he was renowned.

Dear friends and comrades,

The Swedish Communist journal, riff-raff, has got a
new website and a new URL: riff-raff


We have tried and will continue to try to translate
our texts into English. So far we have only managed to
translate a few texts and the titles.


In the coming issue (probably released within three
weeks) we publish Swedish translations of the troploin
texts "Whither the World" and "To Work or Not to Work,"
and also a translation of the Wildcat text "War Against
the Oil Proletariat" together with a discussion on war,
proletariat and oil rent.


yours,

the riff-raff collective
