Saswat Blog is a regularly updated forum of online activism since 2003.
In the current world order, we are living in a hostile climate moderated by a bunch of capitalist bigwigs. The tools of oppression that the imperialists have used thus far include market economy, sexism, racism, police states, defense forces, national boundaries, and various other forms of discriminations on basis of age, sex, ability, sexual orientation, and gender identities.
These corporate monopolists have been using their vast resources of mental productions, otherwise known as mainstream media, to implicitly and often seductively attempt at imprisoning many progressive collective endeavors to defeat their reactionary moves. Using the media, they have been reinforcing vile stereotypes, religious conservatisms and xenophobic tendencies among people who fall to their calls, willingly and unwillingly. Capitalism’s consequences have been slavery, discriminations, prison systems, religious fundamentalisms, economic class societies, widespread poverty, exploitation against landless, women and children, and unjust wars against the innocent people.
The Saswat Blog, is not just against Capitalism, but it also stands for something greater.
It stands to celebrate and cheer for the progressives everywhere. To cherish and look forward. To organize and unionize. The blog recognizes the efforts by progressive peoples all over the world: those that are members of the left parties, and those who are not card-bearers, those who are critical social scientists, and those who are deprived of even basic education, those who work for alternative causes at the highest levels and those who work at grassroots in small but significant ways to carry on the dream forward.
Personal is Political:
My thoughts, my words, everything that I believe in my life, are not entirely original, definitely not entirely mine. Indeed, they are derived from, and hence belongs to the entire world, past, present and its future. There is nothing so personal in my life that is not shaped by the political worldviews I have subscribed to or refuted. Hence, this blog is CopyLeft, not copyrighted. Feel free to distribute contents to fellow travelers for education, agitation, and organization towards an alternative world.
