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.

Notes on Women and Right-Wing Movements – Part Oneby Matthew A “three-way-fight” approach to fascism challenges simplistic frames of analysis. In particular, it challenges (1) a dualistic “Oppressor-versus-Oppressed” model of struggle, (2) caricatures of far-right

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).
