"A left market anarchist think tank & media center"

The weblog of Jeremy Weiland. I like his writing.

A popular introduction to anarchism in the Guardian's Comment is Free (from 2011). I can't help but think the subtext of these sorts of articles is always "Anarchism: It might not be quite as stupid as you first thought it was."

It would seem Qatar is being built by slaves. Except obtaining slaves isn't gratis and they don't make their own travel arrangements, so owners actually have to worry about keeping them alive.

Al Jazeera's The Stream did an episode on "the anarchist movement"! I've read Crispin's book. It was surprisingly compelling for a book on political philosophy. It was so good I will probably read it again. I've also read the first third of Cindy's book. I remember it being surprisingly boring for a book about anarchism. I may have to give it another try.

The hunger strike has spread to another GEO Group facility in Texas, while only two prisoners remain on strike in Tacoma:

This website is dedicated to making the case for open borders. The term “open borders” is used to describe a world where there is a strong presumption in favor of allowing people to migrate and where this presumption can be overridden or curtailed only under exceptional circumstances.

The Anarchism section of marxists.org: "Resources on the theory and practice of anarchism and the unity and conflict between Marxists and Anarchists over the past 150 years."

A bunch of book reviews by some person named Scott Neigh. I've read a few. They were helpful.

He wrote a song about it: http://davidrovics.bandcamp.com/track/spies-are-reading-my-blog

"The image of Fahad’s torture is not that of a person being led around an interrogation room on a dog leash, or held in a stress position with heavy-metal music blasting. It is a person sitting still in a small cell, slowly deteriorating in a modern prison on the outskirts of a small Colorado town."

For a balancing view, see Timothy Snyder's upcoming The New York Review article:

"But are the protests really as anti-nationalist and class conscience as we might hope? Or are they merely an outlet to the rising frustration and narrowing options for BiH’s youth? I talked to Minel Abaz, a student activist and organizer from Sarajevo, to find out."

Shawn Wilbur answers questions about mutualism over at reddit's /r/DebateAnarchism. (This is a link to the handy table-formatted version.)

"Simply saying we should improve the quality and reduce the duration of work doesn’t allow us to ask whether that work needs to exist at all."

"giving workers voice within the institution of wage labor can never fundamentally call the premises of that institution into question. For that, you need the real right of Exit, not just from particular jobs but from the labor market as a whole."

"The 2014 unrest in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a series of demonstrations and riots that began in the northern town of Tuzla on 4 February 2014, but quickly spread to multiple cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina."

I read revision 595164490: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_unrest_in_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina&oldid=595164490

"Libcom.org's reading guide on anarchism, anarchist theorists and their development through history."

Mostly the classics.

"In short, we are dealing with a rebellion against nationalist elites: the people of Bosnia have finally understood who their true enemy is: not other ethnic groups, but their own leaders who pretend to protect them from others. It is as if the old and much-abused Titoist motto of the "brotherhood and unity" of Yugoslav nations acquired new actuality."
