Another break-away within BLM, that happened after the TWPA etc left:
The use of the BLM name, which we believed was intended to unify our struggle, has been commodified and debased. It is now being used to sell products, acquire book deals, T.V. deals, and speaking engagements. We have no interest in these pursuits, and we are opposed to the movement to substitute Black capitalism for white capitalism. It has become clear that the Global network and certain figures have platformed our struggles with the sole purpose of exploiting our labor.
Furthermore, the issue of greatest concern for us is the relationship between the Global Network and the Democratic Party. This is hypocritical at best, as the Democratic Party has historically rejected and ignored BLM’s demands and has made it clear that they are pro-police, pro-prison, and committed to capitalism. From Obama’s support of police and his double-cross of Erica Garner, to “Top Cop” Kamala Harris’ denial of justice for Matrice Richardson, even going back to the 1994 Crime Bill authored by Joe Biden along with the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act that stripped basic human rights from countless Black people—the Democratic Party has literally created the conditions that led to the formation of this movement. Even now, the Demoractic party continues to support imperialism, killing African heads of state, bombing Somalia, abusing immigrants (including those of the Black diaspora), and spreading the U.S. military throughout Black and Brown countries around the world. This is a party that is a threat both here and internationally. To ally with them is to ally against ourselves.

Anarkata are a kind of black anarchic group based in the US.
The Third World People's Alliance is a small growing global network of colonised peoples with a wide range of anticapitalist and anti-colonial politics that tries to foster international solidarity. The anarkata are involved with them but separate, because there are many other types of politics, some not so good, but still an an overall interesting group to follow.

The anarkata and TWPA have broken with BLM some time ago, they are more interesting groups to follow

I wonder if the significant future form of life in the world will feed off of plastic - if that works with how biology works. I know they say there are fungi and perhaps other things that can do it.

"It is only after a community affirms that they themselves belong to a specific territory, to this forest, to this river, to this neighborhood, and that they are ready to fight for it, that the possibility of a political ecology becomes clear."

I only get the headaches if I'm drinking a lot for a while and then I skip a day. No throwing up though, that sounds intense!

The CCP picked the side of capital in the Cold War, doomed the international communist movement in the process, and continues to fund American imperialism to this day.

Indigenous Anarchist Federation:
An excellent look at the EZLN transition away from Marxist-Leninism in an effort to break down authoritarianism & build a movement reflecting the Indigenous Mayan peoples' traditional Anarchist communities. Magón would have critiques, but would be proud.
