Well, since Southern Africa generally has so few anarchist writers, I post about things anarchists I know over there are talking about, even though they're not written by us. I've been trying to tone down my USA-posting and up my global south posting. So far as interesting political analysis goes, there tends to be more that comes out of South Africa than the rest of the SADC (Mostly because of occasionally interesting articles from The Daily Vox, GroundUp, The Con, The Daily Maverick, M&G, and whatever Abahlali's doing). I also happen to know a handful of interesting anarchists and fallists in SA and so I try to keep up with their conversations.

Sorry if I sounded hostile. It's an uphill battle trying to educate doubly-addled whiteys about socialism while this lot is constantly blaring their thinly-disguised nativist populism in the background. Notice how the media in South Africa almost has a blackout on Abahlali, while literally obsessing over nearly everything the EFF says or does? No coincidence, that.
