Gangsterism; a legitimate form
of government.
"...Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." -- Chairman Mao
What to me is always of interest is fellow anarchists disputing the "legitimacy" of any and all forms of government. Stumbling across the above quote years before I learned of Anarchism, Mao's words rang true then as now for Democracy and Dictatorship.
Indeed the first objection to anarchism is the idea of renegades going against the peace and order of any community. So if one would rape and plunder your home you would be right to utilize deadly force in defense, but is that not what we pay the cops with guns for?
So the idea of force, as practically and metaphoric the bullet is the enforcer, begs the question that might is right. Which opens the door for the "legitimacy" of Gangsterism as a form of government.
Two terms recognized in Sociology; Formal Social Control and Informal Social Control. Briefly, Formal Social Control is codified law and protocol. Informal Social Control are cultural norms and taboos, etiquette, peer pressure etc. Noted that to sociologists Informal Social Control carries the most societal weight. No one wants criminal chaos, but no one likes a snitch, not even the police, who will gladly toss in the dustbin even the most blameless witnesses and informants (although to point up most witnesses and informants. are far from blameless, yet often they were caught up in something beyond their scope).
I propose a third social control; Uniformal Social Control to which both Formal and Informal Social Control are encompassed by. And the key element is Gangsterism itself.
Gangs are noted primarily, although there are exceptions, to have two things at stake; revenue and territory. A territory though not as well defined as a county line or national border, is still enforced by the bullet of the gun. As the organizations of the police enforce themselves upon with the barrel of the gun. And they collect revenue in the form of taxation to provide this "protection" and service to the public whether the public, under penalty of law, or force, wants or needs it or not.
Game recognizes game. And one could argue the difference between law enforcement and Gangsterism is which side the money is on. And in my experience both cop and criminal operate to some degree in a gray area allowed by Uniformal Social Control. Indeed I have seen, the history of somewhat expounded on in the blog below, a defining line which no faction or agency would cross or even question its sanctions to begin with, even when its sanction would allow the acts of violence and brutality. This I have been witness to. ---- Copyright 2016 Diogenes Ltd.

Throw'd Off;
or, Shit Runs Downhill
"Acknowledge irrational beliefs towards others, and provide reality-based data to support trust." -- treatment plan -- Dr. Ashley Noble PhD.
"C.O.s don't lie"; that is the policy of the Federal Bureau of Prisons regarding its correction officers. That "C.O.s don't lie" may seem, tho the general public, a rather broad and all inclusive statement to make about a nationwide system of penal institutions. Of the eighty-five men and women employed as correction officers at the Fort Worth Texas facility, a Federal Medical Center; 100 % integrity would be quite commendable.
However on a Thursday morning of September 29 2005 (21 years to the date from 1984, a date to weigh heavy on a number of hearts and minds of the family and friends of a Catherine Davis), one correction officer, on that Fort Worth compound, not only lied, by way of false incident report. He planted a "shank", a homemade weapon in the white pillowcase of my celli -- white pillowcase being very important -- and he did so at the bequest of still another celli; himself regarded by a number of inmates on that unit with such descriptive labeling as "snitch" , "faggot", "piece of shit" (his boyfriend, a very nice young man, liked him however).
And I would have been a witness to this planting of the shank, the homemade weapon, in the unsuspecting inmate's white pillowcase; the so above described celli had a green pillowcase, my pillowcase left upstairs and not subject to search was white like the white pillowcase of the unsuspecting celli who had the planted shank in his white pillowcase.
Except there was that policy of "C.O. don't lie". And because of that policy, and something or other in my psych-chart; and by always sticking to my account, I would go from a "good inmate" to another descriptive label: Throw'd Off. --- copyright Diogenes Ltd.

Life Without Principle; or,
This is for you Texoma Community Center
"The ways that you might get money almost without exception lead downward"
--- Henry David Thoreau
It's de ja' vue all over again in the words of Yogi Berra. Once again I am direct and contra - wise against those who do wrong, or at the least compromised, due their gainful employment, their "job".
It is mostly, but not exclusively, a female adversary there standing by their job, I cannot respect them. I regard them less than a whore supporting a pimp. Quite apt as behind the scenes it is a male malefactor who is the source of the misconduct and malfeasance in question.
My mother once lost a job with the US Postal Service because she would not have sex with her supervisor. Mom did complain and her supervisor was transferred as Mom was hounded out of the US Post Office because the more submissive female co-workers did not like a snitch.
Myself, because of Authority entanglements, lost jobs in Boston MA, Fort Lauderdale FLA and Galveston TX since I was too hot to handle for honest labor.
But Mother and I never lost our principles by taking a stand. Think about that next payday girls.
