Incredibly bored of the ultra-left mad libs essay on whatever current social movement is in motion. “There are no demands” when we are clearly in Spain and France in an era of very clear demands of the state. “This is beyond mediation/organization” when both new…

Today we've released a new pamphlet that collects lessons from the fight against ICE. Drawing on the experience of Black Rose/Rosa Negra members embedded in organizing efforts across the US, this pamphlet highlights insights, contradictions, and paths forward. 👇 Read below.

Very hard to take this seriously when it appends ‘Bolsheivism’ to the title of the section on the Platform. Acceding from the jump to the worst faith actors in one of the most significant debates in anarchist theories of organization is a no go.
This winter, we will be hosting a new online course - Theories of Anarchist Organization. What do we have to learn today from past debates among anarchists about how they ought to be organized? Taught by @mhersonhorvath.

I get that this ISE is a communalist project and communalism draws on the anarchist tradition, but offering Öcalan and Bookchin as the resolution to the question on anarchist organization seems…not quite right.

Reposting this from IWWD earlier this year, just for the hell of it. 🔴⚫️🟣 Demos in the US don’t often have smoke flares like this, so everyone was stoked on it/asking the BRRN contingent they could get some.

Over the weekend in Chicago, Black Rose/Rosa Negra hosted a panel discussion with organizers from across the US—including the MN15—to learn from each other about what strategies have been most effective in organizing against ICE. Attendance quickly reached capacity.

Why are we recreating an already perfect meme? Are the ancient texts being lost?

New on our blog 📖👀 Hear from a public school worker in Chicago about how she her coworkers organized to defend students—and each other—from the federal government’s Operation Metro Surge. Read more in the replies👇

There are no ‘Anarchist’ or ‘Marxist’ revolutions, there are only communist revolutions. Either they take on the form of free association, self activity of the class and abolish the value form. Or they fail to abolish the state and fulfil the political coup required by capital

Feels like the kind of post engineered in a lab to be as deliberately obtuse as possible
I never really liked the “leftist” exaltation of the worker as some rallying point of unified solidarity. It still implies the most important quality someone has in relation to her fellow humans is the ability to produce labor

The kinds of images are always funny to me; reducing the project of revolutionary social transformation to the CoD loadout selection screen.
Not everyone needs to be jacked and able to run 20 miles kitted out to contribute.

This weekend, members of our newly launched Chicago Local are sponsoring a panel session on libertarian socialism at the @socialismconf in Chicago. You can find that session here: socialismconference.org/2026… Our friends at Breitbart have already given their ringing endorsement!

Ok dumb meme aside, I will say that back in 2015 I went to the 40th anniversary edition release of a Dauvé book in LA where when someone posed a question about communist food production to a prominent local insurrecto/communization guy, he nearly verbatim gave the same answer.

In the wilderness years post-Occupy I was flirting with the in-vogue communization stuff, but this was one of those experiences that made me realize that these people have no idea what they’re actually talking about.

There’s a long pedigree of anarchist anti-imperialism and involvement in national liberation struggles. Read about it here: blackrosefed.org/lucien-hist…
Bakunin was initially an insurrectionary republican revolutionary who supported national liberation movements. He later added socialism to this and lastly anarchist socialism. His economic/political commitments changed, but his support for national liberation movements remained.

🚨BREAKING: AOC was described in a DSA national leadership meeting tonight as a lapsed member for SEVEN YEARS before rejoining this month. DSA is now preparing a statement on her membership status, arguing members deserve transparency.

Media production should be an outgrowth of organizing and the material (not rhetorical) fights we intervene in.
