The kind of conversations I think we need to be having revolve around this understanding.

Debates about anarchism versus socialism reveal that many people are unaware of the history of the socialist movement.

Our recent zine explains how this nonsensical binary reveals a need for more political education about these terms that people misrepresent. offshootjournal.org/anarchism-or...

The "broligarchs" of today are no different from the oligarchs of the Gilded Age: "the top priority is not to gain more money; it is to gain more power and control over society and its future."

This zine is maybe 15 pages and absolutely worth your time:

This @offshootjournal.bsky.social zine comes out of necessity. Take a firm stand against those romanticizing the ruling class of old because they donated some of the wealth they took in blood. It was hoarded by oppressing people throughout this country and the world.

There are no good oligarchs.

I made a playlist over at @offshootjournal.bsky.social (we have a new account here and on IG, give us a follow). If you need music with little to no words to get stuff done, this one's for you. I think it's one of my best and I've been working on it for a long time.

Enjoy!
