Cover of the village voice newspaper. Headline is “passing the torch: anarchists pick up where progressive’s left off”

From 2002. For a while anarchists achieved a kind of almost-mainstream-acceptability in more liberal areas, which ran through Occupy - tho it’s kinda hard to imagine that now.

Just a reminder that i'm not employed by any NGOs, think tanks, universities, or nebulous security services. For as little as $2/month you can get exclusive content and help fund antifascist research!

Well, I’m glad you appreciated my work and it was useful to you. There may be a good framework for that pedophilia stuff, but I didn’t know it offhand. a lot of new thinking came out while I was working on the book.

What is your take?

Over at the Nazi bar called "X", at this very moment, Elon Musk is getting hammered b/c of his Epstein ties, and former Trump-supporting MAGA apostates are openly admitting their horror of having unwittingly backed a pedophile.

Portland MAGA provocateur Tommy Allen went down to shout slurs & taunt the anti-ICE labor protest. It did not go well for him.

A FAFO in four parts.

Ouch! I believe he was already promoting RCP’s Bob Avakian in the ‘00s so it all seems in character (except the taxes, I forgot about that). I do credit him for being at Charlottesville IRL, definitely one of the only intellectuals there (except me! 😂 ). But typical Lefty Boomer-to-campist pipeline.

I’ve met some very cool leftists who came from rich families. Of course they are minority. I’m much more dubious of people who made the money themselves. They often seem to have a contempt for other others & a willingness to step on them.

Online Libs & Online Commies hate each other more than actual libs & commies did.

German communist immigrants in the Chicago Arbeiter-Verein organized tirelessly for Lincoln in the 1860 Republican primary, because he was the leftmost viable candidate.

They were right!

Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really.

Genuinely bizarre.

Who Was at the ‘Melania’ Premiere?

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Trump takes over the Kennedy Center, illegally slaps his name on it, and uses the venue to premiere a film about his wife—a film, directed by an accused rapist, that is a gift from the founder of Amazon, who wants to avoid regulation and is firing a fuckton of reporters.
