The only social policy the Russian state pursues consistently is the policy of atomization. The state dehumanizes us in one another’s eyes. In the state’s own eyes, we stopped being human a long time ago.

"Haiti's land and people were abused when it was a colony of slaves. The world then shunned it with embargoes and independence debts when it was a new nation. And today Haitians in the DR experience racism that is overt enough to be enshrined in law."

I don't know anything about this organization, but I like their primer on dual power.

"Dual Power institutions come in two flavors: alternative institutions and counter-institutions. ... The two kinds of Dual Power institutions do this from different (but complementary) angles. Alternative institutions meet a need directly. Counter-institutions challenge capitalism’s way of doing things. Alternative institutions start making a system that’s just, while counter-institutions work against one that’s unjust."

I have a much more positive view of left-libertarianism, but I also always enjoy Alex Strekal's criticism.

Jerry would later invest in Apple Computer and become a multimillionaire.

One of my favorite Chris Hedges articles I've read (though most of it is Cone quotes):

"The lynching tree is America’s cross. What happened to Jesus in Jerusalem happened to blacks in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Kentucky. Lynched black bodies are symbols of Christ’s body. If we want to understand what the crucifixion means for Americans today, we must view it through the lens of mutilated black bodies whose lives are destroyed in the criminal justice system. Jesus continues to be lynched before our eyes. He is crucified wherever people are tormented. That is why I say Christ is black."

"By doing away with single-family zoning, the city takes on high rent, long commutes, and racism in real estate in one fell swoop."

"When I heard that 9.7% of San Francisco voted for Trump, I was puzzled, because does San Francisco even have that many cops?

"Turns out, no: 26k Trump voters, 2,100 cops. So the rest of them must work for Peter Thiel and his Brownshirt Combinator."

I just started reading Robert Paxton's book.

On the origin of the word 'capitalist'

David S. D'Amato's collection of 19th-century individualist anarchist quotations.

Churches, as already-existing social centers, represent one of the better chances of actually providing an alternative source of crisis counseling, protection, and aid which could displace the police in many of the roles they are the worst at.

Citations Needed is good.

"The press, both local and national, humanizes some victims of state or corporate violence, while demonizing others. Despite good intentions and seemingly without noticing, the media all too often create tiered systems of moral worth by trying to find 'the perfect victim.'"

"It is obviously true that one cannot understand the complexities of contemporary geopolitics and imperialism simply by reading Lenin and Bukharin. But it is equally true that if one ignores their key insights, it is not possible to make much sense of the otherwise bewildering set of events that is currently being played out on the international chessboard and, just as importantly, to come up with a coherent political strategy to oppose militarism, war, environmental destruction, and all the other horrors that capitalism creates. The framework Lenin and Bukharin developed a hundred years ago, taken as a methodology and not as a set of dogmas, retains its relevance for activists today."

Sheldon Richman got an introduction to the libertarian left and free-market anti-capitalism published on The American Conservative back in 2011.

This essay by Spencer Sunshine is over ten years old now, but still very informative on national-anarchism and other attempts at fascist use of leftist ideas.

"The danger National-Anarchists represent is not in their marginal political strength, but in their potential to show an innovative way that fascist groups can rebrand themselves and reset their project on a new footing."

This American Life did a good bit on a free speech kerfuffle at the University of Nebraska where a sincere and sympathetic teenager tabling for the right-wing Turning Point USA was confronted and berated by a staff member/grad student for being a 'neofascist Becky'. But the program does not merely paint TPUSA in a sympathetic light, it also points out some ways in which the rights of white students are disproportionately protected.

The program also strongly implies that the grad student in question (who was removed from her teaching position after the incident) is affiliated with the activist group (or 'brand' for lack of a better term) called Betsy Riot. It looks like a liberal antifascist and anti-gun group which describes its members as "feminist patriots" and "punk patriots" (so maybe emphasis on the liberal). https://betsyriot.com/
