Comment on New Book Explores Organizing Strategies for Anarchists by Hilary

Thanks, James!
Your reflection is right on point. I’ve caught only a glimpse of aspects of this book. I’m eager to read it in it’s entirety, mostly to see how years and years worth of writings were woven together, and to see where pieces can be picked up and moved once again. I too am interested in further reflections on the “‘process of committed anarchists traveling to other cities in order to challenge “white supremacy.’” It would be great to hear from other folks who were part of that take on this reflection piece, even incorporating some of the thoughtful strategies Crass offers.
Thanks again, James!

Comment on Imperialist Canada: A Review by Arby

Arby — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 14:46:06 +0000

I read Scott’s book and highly recommend it. My timing was good; Idle No More came out of nowhere (but not from nowhere) just as I was finishing the book.

I just now wanted to find something online that I could bookmark, referencing the information provided in Gordon’s book about the UN’s criticism (in very blunt language) of the Canadian government’s extinguishment approach to treaty making with First Nations people and had zero success. Gordon’s book (footnote #55 for the chapter titled “Empire At Home”) mentions the “Indigenous Network of Economics and Trade.” I was after a document that he notes can be found on that org’s website (“Report on Canada’s Self-Government and Land Rights Policies”) . On page 7 of that doc, there is a mention of the UN’s criticism. That’s the information I’d like to find and bookmark.

After failing to find the organization, which some refer to as the “Indigenous Network on Economies and Trade,” I came to realize that I don’t know the actual name of the org and, while I see it (both variants) mentioned all over place, I can’t find the org. THIS. IS. SO. EXHAUSTING!

I’d just email the author, but, alas, I see no email address for him anywhere. But I’m really only interested in the report (including the UN’s criticism) or the UN’s criticisms, which, I suppose, I could find. Eventually.

Bucky–According to Wikipedia: “On Election Day, Stein received 456,169 votes (0.36% of the popular vote).[51] Stein received twice the amount of votes Cynthia McKinney received in 2008 and triple the amount of votes David Cobb received in 2004.[52] Stein is the most successful female presidential candidate in U.S. history.[53] Stein received over 1% of the popular vote in three states: 1.3% in Oregon, 1.3% in Maine, and 1.0% in Alaska.[54]“

Correction: Stein received one fifth, not one tenth, of the Nader2000 vote. She came in at .5%+ in the end.

Comment on New Book Looks at Progressives and Anarchists in 1914 by John

I looked up her other work after reading this, although it was largely to see how horrible her other writing is. This isn’t meant to seem personal, but I just found this to be terribly written. Tautological, keen, boring. Unfortunately, not much comes across other than what I would glean personally. And also: politicizing coal country? After going to one of the most expensive colleges in the country? You might want to find your social capital elsewhere and improve your writing if you really want to make a difference.
