This book is a horror story! Well, not literally...but as a Native American reader, this is a horror story... especially with the current political climate.
The prejudice that Anequs faces is INFURIATING. This is a reimagined world, yet the prejudice echoes from my ancestral history...and now the reality we are all facing today.

"Don't you find it odious and absurd to make any distinction between immigrant and home-born workers?
In that case you have realised that the old adage about "proletarians having no home land" remains perfectly true and should be borne in mind constantly to ward off the shit of nationalism and racism."

"Haven't you already taken part in pilfering from a distribution factory, ie, a supermarket?
In that case, you have come to understand that individual re-appropriation of goods stolen by the State & the employer class merely feeds the commodity process until it becomes a collective action & leads to total liquidation of the system, however...it is not enough to just repossess goods. One must also repossess the time and space stolen from us all."
pickNaturally, Snyder‘s 20 rules on tyranny are pertinent & should be read & absorbed by everyone. But I am so grateful I was able to listen to this expanded edition. Snyder goes deep into the Ukraine/Russian War and how central Ukraine has been to history.
I learned so much & I cannot recommend this version enough.

Three little tracts to read, plus a flyer for the Anarchist Book Fair on 8 November 25 at The People's History Museum, Manchester.
1: Radical Companionship, on anti-speciesism and how we might relate to animals in ways that respect their lives.
2: What About the Rapists?: Some responses to common criticisms of non-carceral justice systems.

pickI didn‘t really follow either of the trials that has awarded E. Jean in upwards now of $100 million (there is 9% compounded daily for lack of payment, so all those appeals & delays are adding up). I‘m not familiar with her writing style. Is it the best book I‘ve ever read? No. Do I support women? Yes. Do I support a woman that wants to donate her money that she was awarded to causes like women‘s reproductive rights, voting, healthcare? Yes
"Haven't you ever felt like giving up reading the newspapers and putting your foot through the television?
In that case, you have come to appreciate that the press, radio and television are the crassest vehicles for the lie...We subsist amid a forest of images with which we are driven to identify. We act less & less for ourselves and more & more as puppets of abstractions that direct us according to the laws of profit and power."

Personally, I have dealt with racist who are so sly it's scary because the racism is not easily noticable.
Now, my mom and I both are experiencing blunt prejudice every time we step out and about.

This story does well in highlighting the ignorance of racism...but it is still unsettling.
Aside from the racism, I am truly enjoying the story.
