Things You Might Have Missed
Just making arrangements for next month’s anarchist book fair in New York. If any of you are going to be there, drop me an email (mel@broadsnark.com).
Lots of people refer to Gandhi as a “philosophical anarchist.” Josh Fattal looks at the evidence.
In Anarchist Out and Proud, welshboi contradicts people who claim that anarchism has a bad reputation and cannot be redeemed.
James writes about his discovery that being an anarchist makes him a fugitive in Oklahoma.
Farmers markets can be fairly bougie and overpriced. So I loved hearing about the Midtown Mama’s low income friendly version. I did not; however, enjoy reading about how the cops went in and shut down the liberty market here in DC over permit issues. WTF.
Just in case you forgot how shitty work is for the people who make your clothes, some garment workers in Bangladesh just died in a fire while making things for H&M. (That’s how they make it so cheap ya know.)
On a happier note. There is a surprisingly interesting piece in Time (of all places) about what our future might look like. (HT Mariana E)
And finally, I LOVE that an actual corporation is running for office. If they disallow them for being too young, I seriously hope that another organization steps in. That’s the way to challenge corporate personhood if there ever was one.
