Read transcribed issues of Benjamin Tucker's Liberty online
"Critical Resistance seeks to build an international movement to end the Prison Industrial Complex by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe"
This looks like an interesting reading list. It is based mostly on Kristian Williams' Our Enemies in Blue which I've read before. No mention of the newer The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale.
"Quarantine and other public health practices are effective and valuable ways to control communicable disease outbreaks and public anxiety, but these strategies have always been much debated, perceived as intrusive, and accompanied in every age and under all political regimes by an undercurrent of suspicion, distrust, and riots."
This is pretty funny.
Kim Kelly got a nice op ed about anarchism published in the Washington Post
Joshua Clover, as usual, with the good takes on the current riots.
This book review was helpful for someone like me who has heard of MMT but can't quite distinguish how it differs from standard Keynesian theory.
"To Trump, the Bible and the church are not symbols of faith; they are weapons of culture war. And to many of his Christian supporters watching at home, the pandering wasn’t an act of inauthenticity; it was a sign of allegiance—and shared dominance."
"For about nine months, only a small group of people knew that the Interstate 5 shield hanging above the 110 freeway was a forgery. Then one of Ankrom’s friend leaked the story to a local paper. And that’s how Caltrans found out."
Found this Wikipedia list of (notable) books about anarchism.
"The women of May 19th bombed the U.S. Capitol and plotted Henry Kissinger’s murder. But they’ve been long forgotten."
A christian critique of authoritarian revolution.
"For radicals, fetishizing the guillotine is just like fetishizing the state: it means celebrating an instrument of murder that will always be used chiefly against us."
"Leading with housing status for homeless people is a common trope in the news reporting business and one in urgent need of re-examining. In many cases, it is used as a rhetorical device to depict people experiencing homelessness as a threat to public safety, a common right-wing canard used to justify virulently anti-homeless policies and harsh policing of people perceived to be poor."
(If this sounds like an episode of Citations Needed, it is written by Adam Johnson)
presentation by Tim Elmo Feiten
Interview with Andrew Yang:
"We need to create more touch points for people to be able to do “work”, but we can’t think of work in our current narrow 9:00 to 5:00, punch in punch out sense. We have to broaden it to include things that both people can do, and want to do, and also things that we need much more of. To me, the real misconception is that giving people a measure of economic freedom will somehow discourage them from working. It will actually make them much free, more able to pursue the work that they really want to do."
