Reading Blackshirts and Reds and the bit about the exaltation of motherhood and household patriarchy under fascism made me curious about WTF happened in Romania. I got the mainstream media version ages ago, but I want to read a leftist history of the events leading to the feel good video of 1990. Anyone know anything good?

mcclay posted:Recently finished the Conquest of Bread and wanted 2 give my trip report. What I love is where he describes a supermarket. Libs and chuds who know the barest minimum about anarchism dismiss it as fantasy; and I'd swear I'd seen that specific part similarly dismissed, where he's talking about a central location where people buy staples and partially-prepared food...IT'S A GODDAMNED SUPERMARKET. My main issue with it, and if anyone can direct me to an anarchist writer who addresses this, please I would like to see it, is how you can stave off subversion or violent destruction by a powerful capitalist state or movement without some kind of authoritarian hierarchy in place. Kropotkin goes on a bit about how the Paris commune failed because they didn't create material links with the countryside, but I'm pretty sure there had to be more to it than that, and the US wasn't really a player at the time. I mean, I have this suspicion that if you had an uprising in the imperial core with that level of success US elites would literally nuke it.
