On the Wasp & the Orchid: “The orchid seems to form a wasp image, but in fact there is a wasp-becoming of the orchid, and orchid-becoming of the wasp, a double capture since ‘what’ each becomes changes no less than ‘that which’ becomes.” - Deleuze & Parnet, Dialogues

Radical intellectuals explore the relationship between research and resistance.
What is the relationship of radical theory to movements for social change? In a world where more and more global struggles are refusing vanguard parties and authoritarian practices, does the idea of the detached intellectual, observing events from on high, make sense anymore? In this powerful and unabashedly militant collection, over two dozen academic authors and engaged intellectuals—including Antonio Negri and Colectivo Situaciones—provide some challenging answers. In the process, they redefine the nature of intellectual practice itself.
Check out this collection on AK Press in which Team Colors members Craig Hughes and Kevin Van Meter have a contribution written along with their good friend and co-author Ben Holtzman: Do It Yourself and the Movement Beyond Capitalism

From mass police brutality during the RNC, to the everyday brutality against people of color and poor people in the streets and in the jails. Something has to be done to end their reign of terror. • We need a real civilian review authority that holds cops accountable and isn’t just a rubber stamp agency! • End beatings and abuse in jails - and prosecute the brutal jailers! • No more bogus charges against police brutality victims. Prosecute brutal cops! • Drop ALL charges against the RNC arrestees - Dissent is not a crime! • Fire cops who lie in police reports or in court!
We must let the authorities know that we will no longer be silent in the face of police brutality!

Description: Anarchism has a bad rap. There are so many myths and negative assumptions about anarchists floating around that to wade through them all would turn anyone into a creature from the black and red lagoon. Which is why we’re devoting a whole issue to our stories from the silly to the poignant, from the hilahrious to the just fucked. We want everyone and their granny anarchy to write in a short little story that presents the real side of anarchists, whatever that may be. Don’t pull your punches though, no one’s selling anything, we want the truth and nothing but the truth. We are particularly interested in getting some good old punk house stories or stories about all the crazy anarchist co-op shit that goes down but we are equally interested in the personal side of things, the tears behind the sunglasses, so to speak. Honestly, it can even be made up if necessary, fuck the truth, in fact a bed-time story or two wouldn’t hurt anyone. We know you have your stories, and you have a full month, so make it work!
ps. We’re still looking for anarchist erotic stories, do anarchists even have sex anymore?
Our summer issue features a special focus on environmental justice; a feature section on the US elections and progressive responses; our continuing coverage of organizing for abolition of the Prison Industrial Complex; plus movement reports, reviews, and much more.
Left Turn is a grassroots publication dedicated to supporting social justice movements. We are an all-volunteer publication, written and edited by grassroots activists and organizers from the frontlines of movements.
