"Face the #facts. We are tied to our devices in ways that are incredibly useful for organizing, but that also expose us to isolation should the state and companies take away these technologies. Cell #phones and the #internet rely on corporate infrastructure and is subject to both #government #surveillance and service denial. What do we do when social media bans #anticapitalists and #anticolonialists? What do we do when our cell phones fully become monitoring devices we willingly keep by our side, all to the benefit of state intelligence services? What happens when our cell phone numbers are blocked from service? How will the #revolutionaries continue to #communicate locally, regionally, and internationally?

These are the questions that have been left in the dust, forgotten or ignored in favor of more romantic visions of armed struggle. #People forget; no struggle has ever been successful without robust communication networks that are not subject to state control. From the French #resistance in WWII to the #Zapatistas in the Lacandon Jungle, communications matter!

Here, we will propose ways that you can start building this infrastructure, TODAY. As we slip further into the #fascist future, we must build, lest we be left defenseless and disconnected from each other."

“The #Americans were #political #revolutionaries but not #ethical revolutionaries. Whatever their partial (and largely implicit) acceptance of the principle of ethical #egoism, they remained explicitly within the standard #European tradition, avowing their primary allegiance to a #moral code stressing philanthropic service and social duty.”

— “The Ominous Parallels,” Leonard Peikoff

@aspensmonster

Even plugging the proto-#tankie michael friggin #parenti — who's apparently peddling his pro-#dictatorship marxist-leninist-stalinist-maoist bunkus on #tiktok these days! — for whatever unhinged reason?

Good for chuckles. There may be an entire minor cell of these #authoritarian #revolutionaries here on #Mastodon.

Today in Labor History January 12, 1964: Rebels in Zanzibar began a revolt known as the Zanzibar Revolution. The poorly armed revolutionaries initially had no guns and fought with spears, knives, machetes and tire irons. They quickly overwhelmed the poorly trained police and obtained their guns. They eventually overthrew of the Sultan of Zanzibar and his mainly Arab government and proclaimed a socialist republic. East Germany, the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China all established friendly relations with the new government.

@histodons Then the proclamation of the Republic, the executions of the king, queen and of hundred of others. The Terror under Robespierre, the wars against foreign monarchies. An incredible tale with a grandiose scale! #Revolutionaries 2/3

“You will show my head to the people, it's well worth it.” Georges Jacques Danton to the executioner, moments before being guillotined on April 5 1794. #QOTD #quote #revolution #Revolutionaries #History #histodons @histodons

Yes listen to the teacher before raising your hand. There is a LOT of reading to do before weighing in on the discussion about moderation. But wow, there is a presumption that white leftists, and leftists who are not black or indigenous, and therefore some who may or may not identify as #Latinx or #Chicanx or even #Aztlan nationalists or #revolutionaries - are regarded as "white" and therefore unwanted to enage the moderation threads.

Which to a point is fine. But let's not forget for instance these three white Northerner civil rights activists, murdered by the KKK.
For instance.

#Book #recommendation needed: Fictional books about #anarchists and/or #revolutionaries. No Le Guin recommendations needed (have already read).

In every end, a beginning. What is possible, if #Twitter really disappears? We get to imagine the answer.

Calling all #fiction #writers, #humanists, #radicals, #fanfic creators, incorrigible #dreamers, #tech visionaries, #revolutionaries and #optimists:

Can we write a #utopian story together that begins like this?

Once upon a time, a rich man bought himself a fancy toy, and broke it.

Robert Evans (@iwriteok) and James Stout report on their visit to #revolutionaries in #Myanmar. This five part series is full of interviews with three friends #resisting the state together.

Walter Rodney, un historien engagé (1942-1980) by Amzat Boukari-Yabara

Ce livre analyse la vie et l’œuvre de l’historien et homme politique de Guyana, Walter Rodney (1942-1980), ses années de formation, ses influences, son idéologie, et son action politique.

Alors que Rodney a fait l’objet d’une demi-douzaine de monographies en anglais, cet ouvrage est le premier travail en français consacré à cet historien anglophone. Il s’adresse autant à un public universitaire travaillant sur les mondes africains qu’à un public « militant » engagé sur les questions de développement et de luttes sociales.
