It was kinda neat that most of the major media outlets didn't cover it.

Reuters, to their credit, ran a few pieces on it.

Any wobblies here?

I found out about the prison strike through the IWW's Incarcerated Workers' Organizing Committee before it happened, so I get the impression they were genuinely on the ground to help organize that. If they're doing that level of substantive activism, I'd be interested to know more.

The Paris Review posted an essay about George Jackson's Soledad Brother today. That's one of the first truly radical works that I read in high school, I recommend picking it up if you have a chance.

Jacobin is a pretty well written magazine, which is something I base off of like 3 articles I read a year ago. Confirm/deny???

I've subscribed for a number of years now and yes it's good - the print edition is always worth the read. Their standards are weaker for online-only works.

Two major highlights -Their dual issue on cities, Paint the Town Red, and their special issue on the Civil War, Abolition, and Reconstruction, Struggle and Progress.

I honestly can't parse what that dude is saying. help? thenks

adam johnson is saying that it's good that Flynn is gone because Flynn is a hardcore proponent of war with Iran. However much of the breed of neoconservative "NeverTrump" crowd (David Frum, Eli Lake, Kristol, etc) don't really care about that aspect since they all want a war with Iran

edit: that's what he means by "The Resistance"

if he meant neocons he would have said it, by 'the resistance' he means mainstream democrats. agreeing with dems is lethal to your communism twitter cred so if something good happens and both u and dems celebrate it you've got to make it clear that dems are wrong about why the good thing is good.

nah you're incorrect here. https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=from%3Aadamjohnsonnyc%20resistance&src=typd

he always sneeringly calls max boot, david frum etc "The Resistance" with either a trademark or a hashtag. i can see how it would be misleading though.

The revisionist historian Sheila Fitzpatrick has a review up at the London Review of Books of some of the major recent histories of the Russian Revolution. It gives a useful primer on late Cold War and current Soviet historiography.

Under review:

October: The Story of the Russian Revolution by China Miéville

The Russian Revolution 1905-1921 by Mark D. Steinberg

Russia in Revolution: An Empire in Crisis, 1890 to 1928 by S. A. Smith
