Malcolm describes the difference between the "house Negro" and the "field Negro."

ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/mmt/mxp/speeches/mxt17.html

So whenever that house Negro identified himself, he always identified himself in the same sense that his master identified himself. When his master said, "We have good food," the house Negro would say, "Yes, we have plenty of good food." "We" have plenty of good food. When the master said that "we have a fine home here," the house Negro said, "Yes, we have a fine home here." When the master would be sick, the house Negro identified himself so much with his master he'd say, "What's the matter boss, we sick?" His master's pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. When the house started burning down, that type of Negro would fight harder to put the master's house out than the master himself would.

The case for abandoning the burning house

mondoweiss.net/2024/11/the-case-for-abandoning-the-burning-house

I can only imagine that if we collectively understood permanent global war, genocide, and racialized houselessness are core tenets, or in other words, a necessity of the capitalist political economy, we could better diagnose the crises of our time and move accordingly. Liberalism has, overwhelmingly and historically, not been an ally, a friend, or even a convenient tool for advancing progressive political struggles but a brutally violent, carceral, and murderous adversary. It is clear that the fascist right is not the only foe but so is the (neo)liberal right who, too, seeks to secure the United States’ unjust claim as a global hegemon even if that means leaving a trail of the blood of the world’s colonized and poor in its wake.

Black Anarchism by Ashanti Omowali Alston

archive.org/details/anarchy_Black_Anarchism_Alston

Although the Black Panther Party was very hierarchical, I learned a lot from my experience in the organization. Above all, the Panthers impressed upon me the need to learn from other peoples’ struggles. I think I have done that and that is one of the reasons why I am an anarchist today. After all, when old strategies don’t work, you need to look for other ways of doing things to see if you can get yourself unstuck and move forward again. In the Panthers we drew a lot from nationalists, Marxist-Leninists, and others like them, but their approaches to social change had significant problems and I delved into anarchism to see if there are other ways to think about making a revolution.

The life I built for my family – destroyed

The circumstances in Gaza are miserable, and I do not know when joy and laughter will return to our lives. I do not know where we will go next or what will happen. Alma is almost two years old. Our lives are full of injustice and darkness, and the world is asleep.

‘No other land’: Palestinian Bedouins forced out under cover of Gaza war

www.aljazeera.com/features/longform/2024/10/20/no-other-land-palestinian-bedouins-forced-out-under-cover-of-gaza-war

Ramallah, occupied West Bank – The dilapidated tent does not offer much protection against the cold in the winter or the fierce heat in the summer. It sits on a barren patch of land near the city of Ramallah. But it is the only shelter Abdelrahman “Abu Bashar” Ka’abneh and his family have.

Israeli Military Joins In on Settlers’ War to Displace Palestinian Bedouins

theintercept.com/2024/10/20/israel-military-settlers-palestine-bedouins

AL-MUARAJAT, WEST BANK — It was early on a mid-September day when a group of Israeli settlers arrived at a small Palestinian Bedouin school in the occupied West Bank. In short order, they stormed the building. Armed and emboldened, the settlers threw rocks, broke windows, and injured several students and teachers. Children scrambled for safety while their teachers tried to shield them.

When the Israeli military arrived, however, it wasn’t to intervene and stop the attack. Instead, the soldiers had come only to arrest the school’s headmaster, who had been taken to a hospital for his injuries.

Delta Chat Needfinding report

delta.chat/assets/blog/2020-03-multitool-needfinding.pdf

For this report we have interviewed 12 journalists and human rights observers from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Taiwan and Hong Kong. While our previous needfinding research was solely focused on Ukraine, this time we have extended our sample to countries with authoritarian contexts and/or intense social conflicts (wars, protests or high rate of human rights violations). While the first report covered individuals as well as members of institutionalized media or NGOs, this time we have focused solely on people who worked in organizations as our main development priorities concern what we call “organizational support”, especially for so-called “asymmetric scenarios”. We had 5 people who work in the field and 7 people who work mostly in the office, however 2 of them had previous experience of being mobile observers or reporters.

Who is Yahya Sinwar, the Artist Behind Operation Al-Aqsa Flood?

abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/2024/10/18/who-is-yahya-sinwar-the-artist-behind-operation-al-aqsa-flood

Sinwar, like many Palestinian artists who have doubled as revolutionaries, admirably triumphs the liberation of his people in a beautiful framing. As opposed to the others, however, Sinwar is a very practical and materialistically consequential artist. His masterpiece was not a poem or a painting but a revolution in real-time. I think of Yahya Sinwar as an artist and Al-Aqsa Flood as his masterpiece.

This Is America #195: Friends of Aaron Bushnell Speak, Deep Dive on Situation in Haiti

itsgoingdown.org/this-is-america-195

In this episode, first we speak with several anarchists and mutual aid organizers in so-called San Antonio, Texas about their late friend, Aaron Bushnell. On February 25th of this year, Bushnell, an anarchist originally from the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. engaged in what he described as an “extreme act of protest,” when he set him self on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, in protest of the US government’s ongoing support of the state of Israel and its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in the occupied territories. We speak about their friend and how they came to know Bushnell as he lived and worked in the area alongside them. We talk about Aaron’s upbringing in a Christian sect and how it influenced him later in life and how he came to embrace anarchism. We also speak about how his friends have dealt with the aftermath of his death and attacks on Aaron from neoliberal and far-Right media.

Let's All Watch the Tech Economy Die

all-cats-are-beautiful.ghost.io/lets-all-watch-the-tech-economy-die

It's possible to watch all this collapse and enjoy it because us plebs have already been living in a recession since 2022. Biden-pilled liberals and economics writers alike have been calling proletarians Chicken Littles for a few years, saying this was a "vibecession", that the economy was strong and household confidence was false consciousness. Look at the fundamentals, you idiots, look at the stats! Nevermind that our bank accounts were empty, our rents were up, prices were skyrocketing and the vultures of legalized sports betting, payday loan apps and credit card default circled relentlessly. Anecdote is not the singular of data, they told us, while we watched more and more of our mutuals turn to less and less effective mutual aid funds to get by. The jobs opening numbers are strong, they said, as friends got laid-off and those looking for jobs couldn't even get an interview.

Plan 9 is a Uniquely Complete Operating System

posixcafe.org/blogs/2024/07/27/0

A large contributor to the "feel" of an Operating System comes from the software it chooses to include by default. There are entire linux distributions that differentiate themselves just based on the default configured software. There is room for so many options of base software because there are in general many different options to pick. Linux being just a kernel itself specifically creates an environment which encourages this (to some extent). This is both a blessing and a curse, for people wanting to write software targeting linux there now is some matrix of options they must test under if they want it to work with all the various software choices. BSD systems, unlike Linux, tend to include more than just a kernel by default, generally including some "blessed" c library, c compiler, libraries and programs. This makes targeting the system a bit easier, in the sense that you can assume there is a larger set of software on a BSD machine than you could with some system that uses a Linux kernel. Even with BSD however, not all of the software is in control of those in charge of the system itself, there is still a large amount of shared code between these systems for things like the c compiler. There are some pros and cons to this situation. On the plus side these systems get to reap the benefits of the work put in to these other projects (gnu, llvm, and so on), but this also does lead to there being some differences in design. Put in another way, if someone wanted the ability to touch every line of code (in the upstream sense), they would have to be a member of some non trivial amount of communities.

How to Get Started

all-cats-are-beautiful.ghost.io/how-to-get-started

Like many other anarchists, one of my favorite phrases is "the thing to do is to start" but I don't often suggest a specific thing to begin doing. Of course, you know best what your life and your community needs, what you want to do. But sometimes our imaginations and desires need a little kickstart.

So here are some projects that, if I had infinite time and energy, I would begin and try to build and sustain. Maybe they will inspire you to do something similar! These are explicitly ideas that a few individuals could begin without a ton of resources in a moment when the streets feel somewhat quiet, projects that would help immensely but don't require you to join a local org or get a huge number of people together to organize.
