"The “South” often has the reputation of being a particularly reactionary, fascistic, and hostile place. But the brutality of this region has always been always been matched by the fierceness of those fighting against the social order from below. We seek to ground contemporary insurrectionary struggles in legacies of Black and Indigenous resistance and attack: the countless wars fought by Indigenous peoples against colonial expansion; the maroon communities which provided avenues of escape, survival, attack, and revenge against the plantation system; the slave rebellions that brought to life the darkest nightmares of the slaveholding class; the labor strikes and class warfare carried out by the most downtrodden workers; the riots and liberatory struggles of the sixties; and more recent prison riots and uprisings against the carceral system. An unbroken lineage of resistance carries us into the present moment and our struggle to stem the tide of fascism, and to thwart the intensifying efforts of the forces of domination to stamp out any possiblity of a free life."

@johnbrowntypebeats We are only dirty south because we have continually gotten into the muck to fight. Maybe the north could learn a thing or two. Ive lived in both places. The racism and classism is the same. The struggle in the south brings it to light. The north prefers to pretend it does not exist.
