“In ‘Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Tankies, But Were Afraid to Ask,’ Mike Harman uncovers the history of the term ‘tankie’ and its relationship to various strains of Marxism-Leninism. Then ‘Ending the Idealization of the Other’ draws on Su-lin Yu’s critique of Orientalism to explain why some queer people of color in North America support repression when it is committed by ‘socialist states.’ Finally, in ‘Is Genocide Denial Anti-Imperialist Now?’ Darya Rustamova confronts the fetishization of the USSR while expounding on the harm caused by those denying or minimizing genocide and war crimes.”

“This world is ending. No global revolution is coming to save us. What worlds emerge is dependent on the particular trajectories the collapse will traverse in each region. Empire will survive in places where workers still prioritize the needs of the techo-industrial economy – be it capitalist of communist – over the needs of the world they inhabit.

“The attack is the most beautiful moment an anarchist can undertake. Feeling the adrenaline of rushing to a window with a rock in hand, or the moments before striking a cop with your fist. Planting the bomb, pulling the trigger, shouting FUCK THE POLICE!. The attack is an experience unlike any other, one many of us desire to experience, and many of us have experienced. We get tingles and a rush of adrenaline just thinking about it. Picturing ourselves tossing the lit Molotov at a line of riot police is one of the most entertaining day dreams all of us have. Power alone in scandalous thoughts many in our own milieu have tried to extinguish. They tell us we can’t blow up a social relationship, but time and time again we show them we had a hell of a time trying.”
