How are we doing folks? We haven’t had one of these in like 2 months. I figured I’d continue this trend in @krothotkin 's absence. Are we doing anything cool or making life better for others? What’s troubling you? What’s your take on something you’re reading?
I think this time around we might have a special focus on:
-
The Derek Chauvin trial
-
The Line 3 struggle
-
The Austin, TX criminalization of the homeless vote
-
Practical praxis guides
Black Reconstruction in America by WEB Du Bois. Been thinking a lot about the contrasting class dynamics of slaves vs. white workers before and during the civil war, and how so much about those dynamics between freed black people and white workers still shape class struggle and divisions among the working class today.
Yes, there are a lot of parallels to our present circumstance. It’s actually depressing how little has really changed structurally since then.
