Joan Mastodon is what you get when you cross a Ned Ludd with John Brown.
What would Joan Ludd-Brown do?

Missed Connection:
You were driving a reasonable-sized truck with a Citadel sticker, but more importantly one that said "Cannonize John Brown" & another that said "NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR"
Anyways...encrypted chat me, maybe?

And here are few more of the words of Lucy Parsons:
On the Haymarket Martyrs:
“Our comrades were not murdered by the state because they had any connection with the bombthrowing, but because they were active in organizing the wage-slaves. The capitalist class didn't want to find the bombthrower; this class foolishly believed that by putting to death the active spirits of the labor movement of the time, it could frighten the working class back to slavery.”

“Oh, Misery, I have drunk thy cup of sorrow to its dregs but I am still a rebel.”
https://libcom.org/article/november-11-fifty-years-ago-lucy-parsons
On anarchism:
“Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals.”
https://www.lucyparsonsproject.com/writings/principles_of_anarchism.html
“I trust that this country and the world will resound with the grand truths of Anarchism—the right of every man and woman upon this Earth, who contributes to the marvelous and diversified products, to their share in the same; and that to be really free is to allow each one to live their lives in their own way so long as each allows all to do the same.”
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/lucy-e-parsons-a-wise-move
On voting:
“Of all the modern delusions, the ballot has certainly been the greatest. Yet most of the people believe in it.”
https://libcom.org/article/ballot-humbug-lucy-parsons
On resistance:
“John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave. But will his spirit lie there moldering, too? Brutes, inhuman monsters—you heartless brutes—you whom nature forms by molding you in it, deceive not yourselves by thinking that another John Brown will not arise.”
Southern Lynchings, 1892
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/lucy-e-parsons-southern-lynchings (harrowing description of sexual violence and lynching at link)
On labor and class struggle:
“My conception of the strike of the future is not to strike and go out and starve, but to strike and remain in and take possession of the necessary property of production. If any one is to starve … let it be the capitalist class. They have starved us long enough, while they have had wealth and luxury and all that is necessary.”
https://www.blackrosefed.org/emancipation-of-the-working-class-iww
“The working class throughout the world, proclaim the doom of capitalism and wage-slavery.”

1859: "When we reflect on what Brown...has striven to effect, and when we remember that he is about to die, slaughtered by the American Republic, the crime assumes an importance co-extensive with that of the nation which commits it...we declare our conviction that John Brown will not die; for we recoil horror-struck from the idea of so great a crime committed by so great a people." #VictorHugo #JohnBrown https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Victor_Hugo%27s_letter_to_the_London_News_regarding_John_Brown

[content note: mention of lynching, sexualized harm, and murder of a child]
Another fact:
Yes, that Julia Ward Howe. Writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Which was an appropriation of John Brown's Body, a communally-created song in honor of an abolitionist who opposed slavery by shooting people.
"Women are stripped to the skin in the presence of leering, white-skinned, black-hearted brutes and lashed into insensibility and strangled to death from the limbs of trees. A girl child of fifteen years was lynched recently by these brutal bullies. Where has justice fled? The eloquence of Wendell Phillips is silent now. John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave. But will his spirit lie there moldering, too? Brutes, inhuman monsters—you heartless brutes—you whom nature forms by molding you in it, deceive not yourselves by thinking that another John Brown will not arise." – Lucy Parsons, 1892
