RIP Loukanikos (~2004-2014)

Vicky Osterweil is the author of an essay I liked in the New Inquiry called "In Defense of Looting," which she has expanded into a book that was recently published.

"[Looting] also attacks the very way in which food and things are distributed. It attacks the idea of property, and it attacks the idea that in order for someone to have a roof over their head or have a meal ticket, they have to work for a boss, in order to buy things that people just like them somewhere else in the world had to make under the same conditions. It points to the way in which that's unjust."

Uses Brazil's 2013 uprising as an example of how the labour union's fears of the far-right danger becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is a good account of the 1981 Brixton riots (but leads to a page linking to a large 90MB PDF).
