Dawg, check out my anarchist biscuits.

what a fantastic socialist mass organization

Happy birthday to Buenaventura Durruti! Born on 14 July 1896, Durruti was one of the most renowned anti-fascist figures of the Spanish Civil War. Born into a working-class family in León, Durruti left school at the age of 14 and began working as a mechanic in a railway yard. He took part in the 1917 General Strike. The strike was brutally crushed by the Spanish Army, which killed 70 workers, injured hundreds and imprisoned thousands. Forced into exile, Durruti fled to Paris and later returned to Spain, where he took an active role in the anti-fascist movement. During the 1920s, he became one of the leading figures within the CNT and FAI. He fought against the dictatorship. While in exile in France and Latin America, he took part in bank robberies to finance the workers' movement. In 1936, during General Francisco Franco's fascist military uprising, Durruti was at the forefront of the resistance in Barcelona. After the coup attempt was crushed in the city, he led the Durruti Column, made up of around 6,000 volunteer militia fighters, and fought against the fascist forces on the Aragon and later the Madrid fronts. Durruti was killed after being shot during the defence of Madrid in November 1936. His body was taken back to Barcelona, where around half a million people took to the streets to attend his funeral. Today, Durruti is still remembered as one of the greatest symbols of anti-fascist resistance.

#OtD 14 Jul 1967 Black anarchist Martin Sostre was arrested at his bookstore in Buffalo, New York and charged with “sale of narcotics, riot, arson, and assault.” The charges were fabricated as part of the COINTELPRO. He was sentenced to 41 years stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8578/m…

@AdamantDimak @EcoTechBro No worries comrade.

@adamweaver55 @EcoTechBro yes, I know this app is so hostile but asking what you meant plus sharing sources wasn’t me assuming that you held one position or another

Excerpts from "the third revolution volume 3" and "anarchist popular power" respectively

@AdamantDimak @EcoTechBro 2. Lenin was clearly not sincere and my comments weren’t trying to put any spin on that.

@AdamantDimak @EcoTechBro 1. Better understanding the effect and appeal of the Bolshevik Revolution in the global revolutionary left. For example, in some countries 3rd international communist parties emerged more as a split from anarchism rather than 2nd international socialist parties.

As the DSA continues to find numerical success by creating shadow clones of Bernie sanders, it will only become more right wing. This is my prediction.

Resuena Malatesta diciendo que la anarquía suponía la organización del cuerpo social en su máximo grado de desarrollo.

… From the Junius Pamphlet or “The Crisis of German Social Democracy” written in 1915. Anarchist figures like Rudolph Rocker & Johann Most both started as SPD activists & were expelled for very similar criticisms 20+ yrs earlier in the 1880s-90s before turning to anarchism. 2/

The sobering lessons of the SDP in power and the analogy to be made with the current electoral hubris of many in the DSA around an AOC presidential run are worth repeating. This tweet is actually a paraphrase of Rosa Luxemburg’s words… 1/

@ASPertierra It would be an invaluable tool even if you wrote a very condensed/cursory version.

I keep being tempted to do a write-up for my Substack on 'Color Revolutions' and the use of this concept to explain away J11, so yesterday I sat down to figure out what it would take and it's way too big a project for right now

La existencia de todas estas instituciones demuestra la profundidad y capacidad que tuvo el proyecto anarquista durante la revolución social.

@prolepsy What are they seeming to threaten here? The NYC chapter splitting?

why does groundwork respond to every losing vote with the organizational equivalent of “this time i’m really gonna do it”

I continue to be pretty fascinated by how the oldest public DSA member of note who for so long represented probably the right-most tendencies of post-08 left has found himself having to rein in the delirium of post-Zohran electoralists.

@DSACommunists CC needs a strongly worded letter of protest for not being invited.

There are many communist caucuses, but only one Communist Caucus.
