Joe Hill moved to America from Sweden at age 23 in 1902. He worked as a traveling day laborer, taught himself English, and preceded to write PROTEST SONGS SO SCATHING AND EFFECTIVE that copper magnates had him tried on false charges and killed only 4 years into his songwriting career. His final words were "Don't mourn. Organize" And people did.
We gotta do better here, folks. And not with no AI generation. Pen to paper. Let's go!

The Republic is the organization by which, all opinions and all activities remaining free, the People, by the very divergence of opinions and will, think and act as a single man. In the Republic, every citizen, by doing what they want and nothing but what they want, participates directly in the legislation and in the government, as they participate in the production and circulation of wealth. There, every citizen is king; for he has the fullness of power; he reigns and governs. The Republic is a positive anarchy. It is neither liberty subjected to order, as in the constitutional monarchy, nor liberty imprisoned in order, as the Provisional Government intends. It is liberty delivered from all its shackles: superstition, prejudice, sophistry, stock-jobbing, authority. It is reciprocal liberty, and not the liberty which restricts; liberty, not the daughter of order, but the mother of order. [...]

Joined by a member of the @crimethinc collective, Tomas will discuss the lessons he learned from veterans of the Spanish CNT, his first experience trading blows with police in the streets of Paris, and his adventures slipping across borders to participate in epoch-making riots. "Another War is Possible" is the first of three explosive books Tomas is publishing with our friends at PM Press!

This Day In Anarchist History - November 18 - The Rio de Janeiro Uprising
This day in Anarchist History, Nov 18th 1918 we remember the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection.
In the months leading up to the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection, anarchists had been planning to overthrow the Brazilian state by building a broad coalition of workers and unions.
Their one fatal flaw was counting on low level military to join them and their attack failed because of a snitch within those ranks.
Despite it’s ultimate failure this is often considered the high water mark of anarchism in the territories controlled by the state of Brazil.
On Wednesday of next week, we're hosting a virtual conversation on the history of rebellion explored in the new book "Anarchy in the Big Easy." Author Max Cafard and illustrator Vulpes will be joined by artists Liz Lessner and Mat Keel to share their graphic account of the quest for freedom in radical and revolutionary New Orleans!
From maroon communities and labor militancy to jazz music and armed community defense, "Anarchy in the Big Easy" pairs the storytelling of a lifelong New Orleanian with the striking images of a comix artist based in the Gulf South.
