Siblings with decent politics?

In general? that sucks.

My older sister was a bit on the edge of the anarcho scene, but I think she liked squat parties more than politics. She's quite square now, left of capital.

Younger sister is barely left of capital, she's got a passing interest in politics but will never ever use them. I told her about France and she said it was cool but I reckon she'd scab a strike.

Yeah but rkn even if yr brother had actually hopped over on the eurostar to join the marches in France, he'd still say he didn't know, just to spite you

And anyway, you know me, and my sister and her girlfriend have good politics! Ok, not very developed or whatever but in general they've got most areas sorted, and don't hold any views I disagree with.

My brother, he was the first one in our family to go to uni, he fucked up but ended up getting quite a good job and moving to South Africa. He seems to have been quite assimilated into SA so I won't talk to him about politics, cos I really don't wanna know...

My sister's cool, she's nearly 40, very sociologically "working class", lived on a council estate forever, was an original punk, still has a fair bit of the punk attitude, very pro-animal rights and generally pro- people sticking up for themselves and not taking any shit. She started subscribing to Freedom when I was editing and really liked it, used to share it with her friends, AFAIK she still does. She used to have a pot of change she'd contribute to to give to me for my projects (Freedom then libcom) but then my nephew starting nicking it for fag/weed money . She's not got net access, never used the net really, so not seen libcom. She's 8).

My nephews + niece are really like my siblings, I know my nephews have come across BNP and fascists on their sites (they're construction workers) but they've not been "recruited" - though their granddad who's their main male influence/role model is a really right-wing Daily Mail type. We don't talk about politics much, tho they don't like being fucked over, don't like that they do all the work + the bosses get the money (like everyone!), have spoken about unions and things but it's not really something they have any knowledge of. They seem generally anti-government, my younger nephew can on an anti-war demo with me and some old AYN people and liked it; they all loved the anti-capitalist summit protest films. I think there are some issues around asylum/Islam where they wouldn't be too progressive. Posting on libcom's not something I'd encourage them to do mind, cos political discussion is pretty alien to them really (politics was never spoken in the house).

Nope. Neither my older brother nor younger sister are interested in politics. Though I suspect they have some sympathy with the stuff I come out with - either that or they're just humouring me. Having said this, my older brother (who's now in his early 50s) used do security with some mates from his factory for ANL meetings in the mid 70s. This was when the NF were pretty big. He's the proverbial body-building brick shithouse, hard as fuck and not the kind of bloke you'd want to fall foul of. From what I hear, he was a credit to the Forward* family name.

* NB: Obviously, Forward isn't our real family name but he is called Serge. Serge Trousers.

My sister's a politics graduate from Sussex, and hated the (pretty left wing, for a SU) student union there, cos it kept getting everything shut down and shutting itself down or something. She just saw it really inefficient. I think she associates with the Lib Dems, and was gonna write her dissertation on how if the far left hadn't existed for the last 10 years, it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference to the UK, just to spite me!! She couldn't find enough material though (although I recommended her LOADS) and ended up doing Le Penn.

To be fair, she's an improvement on my folks.

Jef! STOP BEING MEAN TO ALAN

I insulted Sussex Uni, which is where my ex hangs, my hatred for Alan_is_fucking_Dead is due to his changing his name.

I've run out, but I will stop.

I still do think that it is wrong that Alan_is_fucking_Dead changed his username.

my little brother is a hardcore kid and straight-edger. So he pays lipservice to animal rights and anti-racism, because its in the lyrics. He also throws out my cigarettes and calls them flaming cancer sticks of death.

My sister (we're irish twins) is a racist pig cop and security forces in the airforce. (she polices other soldiers, fucker)

My dad is a Teamster union steward and a member of TDU (teamsters for a democratic union) a left council in the union.

My Mom is a Green.

My Grandmother that helped raise me is the daughter of German communists who resisted hitler, was an ILGWU member, and thinks gays should be able to get married, but is a democrat now.

My Paternal Grandparents are electrician Trade Unionists who supported the IRA, but are generally jingoistic when it comes to american politics. Basically their culturally conservative racist democrats. They do hate this war though.

My paternal uncle is an environmentalist and works for a think tank that designs and consults about green transportation systems.

My maternal uncle is a socialist machinist but is anti-union.

My paternal aunt is a moderatly lefty, but has worked in vivesection labs, though now she's a teacher.

All of my family is in agreement about one thing though. They all really really really hate this war.

My brother's Sorry/Jack Ray, our immediate family tend towards liberalism (though have definitely become more left wing since we got radical) and our less immediate family are Tories and godbotherers (apart from one apolitical cousin).

Love em all to bits mind, when our (very right wing) grandparents were told about our politics, they decided that since it was us, we couldn't possibly be doing anything other than helping society 8).

He nearly got arrested for drugs possession once, for which he was very sorry indeed (at least til the cops left, at which point he got quite pissed off cos they weren't his)

My sister's a rvaing capitalist - well she'd like to be - however, my son's an anarchist, we're the only AF family, Mr Mrs and Master Knightrose Sadly little Miss Knightrose thinks she's a lib dem - but opposes the war, was the only one from her college to go on the students demo in Manchester a couple of years back, hates the NF,BNP, was road protesting at the age of 10, supports No Borders - I guess she's just going through a rebellion stage against her mum and dad. Master Knightrose is more conformist. Do you think Refused could design us a Happy Families suit?

Hahahah!!! How old is he?? Where's he at?? Most US straight edgers I've come across wear shorts all year round, and are wannabe jocks. Mind you, they're better than the fuckin Profane Existence punks.

he's fifteen.
