Animal Farm by George Orwell

pirate — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:25:30 -0700

The novel addresses not only the corruption of the revolution by its leaders but also how wickedness, indifference, ignorance, greed and myopia destroy any possibility of a Utopia. While this novel portrays corrupt leadership as the flaw in revolution (and not the act of revolution itself), it also shows how potential ignorance and indifference to problems within a revolution could allow horrors to happen if smooth transition to a people's government isn't satisfied.

-Ojore Lutalo

comrades in prison is destined to die, and that at a
high price under atrocious torture.”

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:26:53 -0800

"How Not to Kill Most Life on This Planet" is a brief (12 page) introduction to what the author calls "Radical Sustainability," written in question and answer format. This piece explores current misconceptions about sustainability and offers a coherent definition of this much misunderstood concept before going on to deal with some specific examples of what can and cannot be considered sustainable.

Excerpt from the text:

Q: Before we get started, why do we even need a new kind of sustainability in the first place? What's wrong with sustainability as we know it today? read more »

Los Angeles 1992: The Context of a Proletarian Uprising

RevolutionaryRumors — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:43:53 -0800

from Aufheben #1 http://libcom.org/aufheben

"April 29th, 1992, Los Angeles exploded in the most serious urban uprising in America this century. It took the federal army, the national guard and police from throughout the country five days to restore order, by which time residents of L.A. had appropriated millions of dollars worth of goods and destroyed a billion dollars of capitalist property."

from Aufheben #9 http://libcom.org/aufheben

"Since the occupation of January 1994, many have projected their hopes onto this ‘exotic’ struggle against ‘neo-liberalism’. We examine the nature of the Zapatista uprising by moving beyond the bluster of the EZLN communiqués, on which so many base their analysis."
