The Housing Monster by Proleinfo Proleinfo
A scathing illustrated essay that takes one seemingly simple, everyday thing - a house - and looks at the social relations that surround it. Moving from intensely personal thoughts and interactions to large-scale political and economic forces, it reads alternately like a worker's diary, a short story, a psychology of everyday life, a historical account, an introduction to Marxist critique of political economy and an angry flyer someone would pass you on the street.
Prole Info, Prole Info: -
The author is an anonymous worker whose writings and illustrations can be found on www.prole.info. Prole is short for proletarian a word used by Karl Marx to describe the working class under capitalism. We are all the people in this society who do not own property or a business we can make money from, and therefore have to sell our time and energy to a boss--we are forced to work. Our work is the basis of this society.
