There is probably big risk in them arming themselves, because it will give the state 'legitimate' an excuse to kill and imprison, but that would be the only way I can think of to be preventative about being murdered. Assassins would think twice before invading the occupation if people know that the occupiers have been training with weapons.

Thank you

best isn't necessarily good afterall

Radical geographers have been preoccupied with Marxism for four decades, largely ignoring an earlier anarchist tradition that thrived a century before radical geography was claimed as Marxist in the 1970s. When anarchism is considered, it is misused as a synonym for violence or derided as a utopian project. Yet it is incorrect to assume anarchism as a project, which instead reflects Marxian thought. Anarchism is more appropriately considered a protean process that perpetually unfolds through the insurrectionary geographies of the everyday and the prefigurative politics of direct action, mutual aid, and voluntary association. Unlike Marxism’s stages of history and revolutionary imperative, which imply an end state, anarchism appreciates the dynamism of the social world. In staking a renewed anarchist claim for radical geography, I attend to the divisions between Marxism and anarchism as two alternative socialisms, wherein the former positions equality alongside an ongoing flirtation with authoritarianism, while the latter maximizes egalitarianism and individual liberty by considering them as mutually reinforcing. Radical geographers would do well to reengage anarchism as there is a vitality to this philosophy that is missing from Marxian analyses that continue to rehash ideas—such as vanguardism and a proletarian dictatorship—that are long past their expiration date.

Depends what your community needs and desires.

It's been strange and interesting and expected to see a post-left idea get coopted by leftists.

Longer chains! Bigger cages!

I didn't really understand what was interesting about this.

It seemed to reduce modern medicine to the medicines/technologies used to avoid death, which isn't the case. I am anti-tech but I found the angle for this specific piece a bit flimsy.

Were there any strong points? I found it hard to read all the way to the end.

What's the surveillance like at the school?

Found this on a mailing list, thought it might be interesting for some people. Sorry it's not formatted better.

much genius

so many predictive

wow

so bright future

I've only ever listened to his Anarchy 101 piece with Mark Bray, which is quite useful for anarchy 101.

Whoops, posted the wrong link, will repost with the right one

There's a director talk-through of the trailer where he explains the rationale for it - basically there's enough not-spoiled versions of the things we've seen to make the few spoilers worth it.

I'm gonna watch the movie, lol.

Following u/celebratedrecluse's suggestion, OP and u/lastfutures' responses here are particularly useful.

Elon or Jeff's bedrooms while they are asleep

A new study finds that U.S. union membership lowers white workers’ “racial resentment.” Eric Dirnbach explores what this means for the labor movement and the fight against white nationalism.

Cool, I had never heard of pollarding either.

Yes, the video is not good from that perspective.

The Insurrectional Project, a 3 piece zine of texts by Bonanno, hosted by sprout distro with an audio version.

There are also a couple good pieces on the topic in their theory section.

New piece by Shemon about coming to terms with the absence of an insurrectionary legacy in the 20th century Black Radical Tradition in the U.S., and what impact this had on Black proletarian revolts of the last half-century.

The number of grapes we have to eat is too damn high

That two cups thing was just the measure they took for the experiment, they didn't have anything to say about, say, minimum significant amounts, and whether you could eat grapes for a couple days before knowing you'd be in the sun for it to help

I wish they had more to say, for example, how many grapes people should eat and when if they wish to avoid sun damage.

Does it?

I understand the article to be working to challenge the dominant meaning of vegan, which you address.

Trying to spice up this place with strange stuff

Thanks!
