OUR VIRGINIA ORGANIZED LABOR GROUPS AND "UNIFORMS OF BRUTALITY" III By William Thorpe

I started this focus on Labor Groups, which this is a third installment, by quoting Bob Marley's incisive lyric, "Uniforms of Brutality" and its capture, (which I'm unsure whether, Bob himself recognized it as that intrinsic dialectic of "work" as the purest definition of the "liberty" or freedom euphemism, which his "uniforms of brutality" lyric illustrated) as that embodiment of it's aversive role and purpose of cowering or keeping Labor insubordination to the status quo assertions of Virginia's Social Contract with prison and the imprisonment circumstance. As we labor towards the unconditional reform of Virginia's imprisonment circumstance on the accountability-function of government and it's final return to the People of Virginia as the subordination of the Virginia prison official to their will, meaning exacting accountability, a lot of insight and actual understandings of everything about Virginia's social contract, that has been cloaked by that suppositionary and colloquial ignorance of, "taken for granted "by the people, will inevitably come into focus despite the fact that those who benefited from its "business as usual", knew perfectly well that its existing terms and culture, meaning everything was due to their machinations and their faith in the ignorance of " We The People".If the only function and purpose of the Human Being and the Human Condition respectively is "Work", then a value, with two characters will naturally come into existence, which is, the "value" of management or maintenance and direction, as it is expressed in the two characters of control and its subjects or objective, or who is in control and who is being controlled and when this is appropriated at the expense of the human conditional climb towards that mastery of it's all around realization or progress, it then transforms into that antagonism of exploitation or that condition of instead of pursing the "perfection of the unity of the people", war is instead waged on them, under the supposition that, the fundamental purpose of "work" as means of creating, supporting and defending the conditions and circumstances of Human Life, must exist as war between them. In other words the progressive dynamic of competition or that process of refining quality, is perverted into, that cutting of the nose to spite the face, War. This perversion is permitted because of and by the simple fact of "existence by acceptance", because Labor as it stands in its organized state, which in itself isn't commentary on the organizing motive and factor, but a critique of maturity, based on it's self-realization and the unequivocal understanding, that the organized fact in itself isn't a simple imposition but a natural fact of purpose or that synthesis of competition for itself transforming into the collaboration of self-interest. Or if The Human or as it concerns this work the People of Virginia, exist to work who then benefits? So, what we see is when this question isn't correctly answered, regardless of reason, the people are firstly warred on and here is the crux, by themselves. Yes there is that superficial recognition that it is foisted, a necessary mechanism of inserting that status quo self-serving narrative of "work" along with its inoculation against any counter exposé for the reason it's existence on the people is a mechanism of division. What this truly means then is the acceptance of impunity and that toxic lack of accountability, which we see as Labor its, rank and file arrayed in those "uniforms of brutality", diametrically in opposition with itself.
