"We face a rabid, cornered beast with the devil's strength, but no matter how it snarls or how wide its arc of bloody destruction, it can't live forever - because it's already dying."

"Within cities, Bookchin discusses the possibilities of advancing a minimum program and a maximum program. The former meets demands for improved welfare of residents and generates pockets of direct participation and empowerment that can serve as stepping stones to more wholesale institutional transformation. The maximum program is one in which people power is at the center of this institutional transformation: here, decision-making power is transferred from municipal-level representative institutions to that of direct-democratic assemblies."

"Antifascism is not just opposition to a terrifying and violent order that erases and extinguishes difference. It’s also a positive commitment to protecting others, staking out a belief that life is sacred and that our common humanity is worth celebrating. When we downplay antifascism, we risk losing these legacies, our shared left history, and potentially the lives of our marginalized comrades...maybe even ourselves. Let’s take the fascist threat seriously, and let’s make that a part of building a better world, one where we re-affix these plaques and uplift our solidarity."

Bernie comes again on top in the 538 model

"In a new paper ”What is socialism today: Conceptions of a cooperative economy”, John Roemer starts with three essential pillars of all economic systems: an ethos of economic behavior, an ethic of distributive justice, and a set of property relations. In capitalism the three pillars are (1) individualistic ethos, (2) laissez-faire (no redistribution), and (3) privately owned means of production with profit accruing to capitalists. Until now, Roemer argues, all attempts to transcend capitalism focused on element No. 3, replacing privately owned capital with state or socially (collectively) owned capital. They have all failed."

"A 2014 study by Imperial’s Professor David Nutt showed a close relationship between psychedelics and ego-dissolution and selflessness, and conversely a close relationship between alcohol and cocaine and ego-inflation and self-centred experiences"

"This is a general-purpose guide targeted at leftist journalists, activists, and organizers in the United States. The tools and behaviors that you should consider is based on what is called a “threat model”. in the security community.

"They don’t consider it violent to storm into a territory with guns drawn and remove its rightful occupants. They don’t consider it violent to level mountaintops, or clearcut forests, or to suck oil out of the ground only to burn it into the air. They don’t consider it violent to keep chickens and pigs and cows in tiny crates, never allowing them to see sunlight, using them like food machines.

But smash a window of a government office..
Well, that goes too far."
