"Zinn talks about Obama and the “possibility of change.” It seems odd to be asking this of an octogenarian but: Exactly how much time do you think we have?"

"Waging Nonviolence is a source for original news and analysis about struggles for justice and peace around the globe."

I keep finding good articles here.

Appears to be consistently good coverage and analysis of global protest movements.

I like how Žižek contrasts "radically leftist notion" with "something that exists [...] and functions basically relatively well."

A reading list on the "Right to the City."

"The broader implications of this go beyond Brown; one might think that what we are looking at is Cointelpro 2.0—an outsourced surveillance state—but in fact it’s worse. One can’t help but infer that the US Department of Justice has become just another security contractor, working alongside the HBGarys and Stratfors on behalf of corporate bidders, with no sense at all for the justness of their actions; they are working to protect corporations and private security contractors and give them license to engage in disinformation campaigns against ordinary citizens and their advocacy groups."

I love the New Yorker for still using diaeresis. I also liked this article despite its sometimes snarky dismissal of anarchism. Or maybe because of the cynicism

Denver!

Global news and services.

While I obviously disagree that economic rent is ever a good thing, this is a well presented introduction to rent-seeking. I also liked the same author’s (Dr. Ross) article presenting the classical-liberal view of the state (http://www.friesian.com/freestat.htm). There seem to be many interesting articles on this website.

Mike Leung and David Ellerman’s page about wage slavery and worker cooperatives.

They don’t denounce what the state does, they just object to who’s doing it. This is why the people most victimized by the state display the least interest in libertarianism. Those on the receiving end of coercion don’t quibble over their coercers’ credentials. If you can’t pay or don’t want to, you don’t much care if your deprivation is called larceny or taxation or restitution or rent. If you like to control your own time, you distinguish employment from enslavement only in degree and duration.

I was there. I wrote about it! (http://americancynic.net/log/2012/5/6/my_may_day_2012.html)

This is a protest I went to back in November. State troopers under Governor Hickenlooper and Denver police under Mayor Hancock had just arrested dozens of people at the Occupy Denver camps and confiscated food and supplies from the kitchen, and then they were made the “guests of honor” at a Denver homeless shelter’s Thanksgiving dinner. It was pathetic.

I’m the thumbnail image for this article!
