#OtD 12 Apr 1918 Bolshevik forces attacked 26 anarchist centres in Moscow. At least 40 anarchists were killed by Cheka forces, and about 500 arrested and jailed. They falsely claimed "criminal elements [had] infiltrated the anarchist organisations" stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1253...

This year is teaching us that billionaires are bad for everyone.

I think humans can do better than an economic system in which the actions of one ruler can wreck the entire global economy.

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending. If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

I would simply debate the One Ring and win the argument with my superior rhetorical skills, thus cleansing it of the dark lord Sauron's magic, and so then in place of a dark lord there would be a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the founda

Other economic models which share a similar premise to Commoning are 'Indigenous economics' and 'Library economics'. Similar political models include 'Federated #Municipalism' and #direct-democracy anarchism.

Amazing episode!! Very creative and hopeful, just what we need right now

Richard Dawkins does not have the power to decree what is a "Universal Biological Definition" and what is not. He can decree that he personally is an extremist and a reductionist. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

Here's our new episode about how Elon Musk, a stupid lying cheater, wants to make everyone even dumber than he already thinks they are. youtu.be/7yhMpwSYKlc?...

“Is there a difference between two people in love who just care about each other vs two people in love whose lives are devoted to the creation of socialist democracy?”

I’m co-organizing an anarchist discussion group in London, and next week I’ll be presenting the topic of love in politics — very relevant today.

With the rise of authoritarianism and hateful politics, it's easy to feel frustrated, isolated and depressed. We’re running an anarchist discussion group, and we’ll be happy to see you join! meetu.ps/e/NQS46/ZBvy... #anarchism #politics

Trans people are the bravest ever. There’s so much shame and coercion and violence around gender norms, that going against them is truly terrifying (in most places. I grew up in a small town in Russia)
