Silvia Federici interview with HuffPost: Witch Hunts Are Back — And This Time They’re Targeting Female Activists
"Where does violence come from? I would say, and I think that I am not alone here, that the majority of violence is always, above all, institutional. Therefore, to turn to the state for protection is a mistake, because, in many ways, the state, the government, and the police are the ones who are mostly responsible for violence."
–Silvia Federici

Ian Brennan Knocks Pop Stars Off Their Pedestal With His New Book Silenced by Sound: The Music Meritocracy Myth
"These musicians, Brennan argues, deserve to be heard more than the overplayed superstars, because they’re at least as talented and a lot more soulful, coming from a place where music is human instead of product. “We don’t so much need plastic-surgery honed proxy Gods, or American witch doctor pharmaceutical giants,” Brennan writes. “We require stronger depth of communication between individuals. Written in vignettes — a mix of philosophizing, diatribes, memoirs, advice, and field-recording chronicles — Silenced by Sound is often dead-on." –Stephen Wishnia for The Indypendent

Bust says, "The Hashtag & ‘Zine Shout Your Abortion Is Just As Angry And Powerful In Book Form"
"With the recent anti-abortion laws passed in Georgia, Ohio, Missouri, and Alabama, now seems to be an especially crucial time for Shout Your Abortion, a book which aims to release the stigma around abortions as well as normalize them as being an essential part of women’s reproductive health." –Adrienne Urbanski

Matthew N. Lyons, author of Insurgent Supremacists, on Treyf Podcast: Fascism and the Far-Right (Part 2)
"We face different kinds of threats. On the one hand, there’s all of the institutionalized systems of social hierarchy and oppression that make up most of our world and that are intensely violent, dehumanizing and that need to be dismantled and overthrown. The far-right, it’s rooted in that reality, and it’s about intensifying it in all kinds of ways, but it’s also … an oppositional movement. It’s a movement that wants to dismantle the existing political system. It’s a movement that feeds on people’s sense of disempowerment as well as people’s sense of their privilege and their power being under attack from below. So the struggle against the far-right is something that needs to be waged in a different way than the struggle against institutionalized systems of power and oppression.”
–Matthew N. Lyons

Brian Morris's Kropotkin: The Politics of Community Reviewed in Marx & Philosophy
"‘Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again’. This quotation from Andre Gide serves as Brian Morris’s epigraph. Upon completion, one leaves with the impression that what Kropotkin has to say should be – and will need to be – said again. And indeed, Morris’s central aim in the book is not simply to prove Kropotkin’s contemporary relevance, but show the way in which Kropotkin anticipated and offered expositions of arguments that, decades after his death, would be treated as novel. On his own terms, he succeeds." –Brendan Harvey

Daniel Guérin's For a Libertarian Communism Reviewed in Anarchist Studies
"Many anti-authoritarian radicals are woodenly sectarian. Daniel Guerin, however, was willing to work with almost anyone on the Left. While generally rejecting the Marxist strategy of participating in elections, he was in favour of working inside labour unions and was in solidarity with national liberation struggles. At all times, his revolutionary goal was a cooperative federation of self-managed industries and communities. This booklet is the perfect place to begin to explore Guerin’s libertarian communism." –Wayne Price
