Harry's Last Stand
Poverty Is the Foundation of Unhappiness
JM Smith"I’ve never been convinced, like Tolstoy, that unhappy families come to their misery through unique paths.
My father’s family history during the 1930s tells a familiar tale of how, when the money’s gone, love, respect, and kindness are next to flee a relationship.
What was true during the Great Depression is also true today."

Labour: Put Your Dinner Tray Up and Assume the Crash Position
JM Smith"Britain’s recent local elections tell a story less about the rise of the Green Party than about fascism becoming England’s factory default setting in the 21st century.
Neoliberalism does that to a people because its ideology diminishes the state in order to enrich its most privileged citizens." -

"The Lives My Mother Lived Before Me"
JM Smith"It’s Mother’s Day in Canada, the USA, Mexico, and Australia. My mother has been dead for twenty-seven years but I still buy flowers or a plant to remember.
When I recollect the moments of my mother’s existence, the sensation of sunlight and the crispness of approaching nightfall dance together. She knew how to love and live."

The First Day of the Long Peace
May 8, 1945
JM Smith"The last week of war before the long peace was chaotic. The refugee encampment was off limits. However, I was part of a team that set up a food distribution tent near the shantytown of displaced Germans. We were told to look for SS soldiers and officers who might be hiding amongst the refugees. I never got sight of any."

A Bank Holiday in the Shadow of Collapse
JM Smith"Only the dregs are left of the Bank Holiday weekend. Summer is on the horizon, as is nemesis for the Labour Party in the local elections on the 7th. Let’s hope their drubbing signals the beginning of the end for neoliberalism. But I am not holding my breath. I long for summer, but I know it never feels the same—and won’t ever again."

"May Day, 1945: My Mother’s Warning
JM SmithOn May 1, 1945, Hamburg, Germany, was the last major city held by the Nazis. My mother, along with other teenagers in Hamburg, was ordered to dig trenches. The city was to become a fortress against the advancing British army as it approached the gates. My mother knew the war was not only lost but almost over, as did most Germans."

The Cost of Living: A Foreclosure on Sleep
JM Smith"Insomnia didn’t come at the end of this month as it has for the last two years, every other month. I don’t know why.
My finances are more precarious because of the increasing cost of living crisis. I know I am eating less. But I am not worried about that as long as what I consume is nutritious."#HarrysLastStand #HarryLeslieSmith #JohnSmith #politics #capitalismIsADeathCult #fascism

Don’t Get Killed Now: The Held Breath Between War and Peace
JM Smith"A friend called me this morning in a panic. Being a manual worker in your 50s without a pension is a terrifying prospect. A major illness hasn’t hit them yet,but it’s only a matter of time. Neoliberalism has left many workers like shipwreck survivors clinging to flotsam,treading water and hoping for rescue before hypothermia sets in."

The Centre Built After 1945 Can No Longer Hold
JM Smith"My father’s last manuscript is done from beginning to end, but I am still not satisfied. So, I tinker with it and think how he would have wanted it presented.
However, I will finally submit Harry’s manuscript, The Green and Pleasant Land, to publishers in May. I’d like more time with it, but I need the money. So it has to be put out there."

From Ramsay MacDonald to Keir Starmer: Labour’s Legacy of Betrayal
JM Smith"The month began in snow and ends in cold rain. My hands, thanks to beta blockers, are numb. Still, the hummingbirds will return soon. Online, I watched their migration from the US into Canada via Point Pelee. It will be another two weeks before they reach my part of the province. The seasons circle as you and I age."
