Two takes on radical strategy in the time of Trump

Matthew N Lyons

As the Trump regime becomes both more aggressive and more vulnerable, many radicals are asking, how do we combat the regime in ways that promote systemic radical change? This essay discusses two useful contributions on revolutionary analysis and strategy in this time: “At the Turning of the Tide: How to Fight Our Way out of the Trunp Era” (CrimethInc.) and “Ten Theses on Revolutionary Possibility” (Ill Will).

Notes on Trump/MAGA 2024

Matthew N Lyons

5 comments

Even more than in the past, Trump and the MAGA movement have brought key elements of fascist politics into the Republican Party, and a second Trump presidency is likely to be significantly more authoritarian than the first one.

Chaos or Revolution? It Depends on Us

The institutional far right is strong, while the far left is weak and disorganized. To develop the capacity to meaningfully intervene in the current crisis, far leftists need to engage with oppressed communities and work together with liberals in a united front.

Who’s Afraid of Luigi Mangione? A Response to Alexander Reid Ross

3WF

2 comments

Luigi Mangione’s recent alleged killing of an insurance CEO touched a wedge issue that cuts across class and across the political spectrum—the massive corruption of the health insurance industry—and created an opening for the left. A recent article by ex-leftist Alexander Reid Ross, which dismisses Mangione as expressing an American proclivity for violence, represents a counterinsurgency action in defense of the state.
