Wow! Amazing photo essay from @photobracken about the @Gidimten blockade. But of all the badasses pictured I'd be most scared of the #SnowSurgeon!

Riding the Wave: Sweden’s Integration into the Imperialist World System
Sweden rides on the wave of colonialism & imperialism, a core-state in global capitalism, a “people's home” paid for by value transfer from global production chains throughout the Global South. The two line struggle in the 2nd International—one reformist, nationalist, & pro-imperialist, the other internationalist & anti-imperialist—remains relevant.

Exodus and Reconstruction, by Bromma
"Hundreds of millions of working-class women are flooding out of the countrysides of the world into the cities. In an epic upheaval, pervaded with human suffering, these women are being channeled into the manufacturing and service industries of a radically transformed global economy. This wholesale relocation and reorganization of capitalism’s core work force is at the very heart of globalization."

False Nationalism, False Internationalism: Class Contradictions in the Armed Struggle
A radically different investigation into one of the most critical—and least understood—zones of revolutionary work: the struggle for solidarity between the left in an oppressor nation & rebellions against that nation from the oppressed, the difficult solidarity between colonizers & colonial subjects.

This is wild: On Saturday a Mtl cop was "shot," & a Black man was arrested for attempted murder. Then the cop is suddenly out of the hospital the next day & it is now "unclear" if he was shot. Then after 4 days in jail all charges are abruptly dropped https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/ma

New Year’s Sale at leftwingbooks.net/sale
A new calendar year always makes me aware of all the things that are unknown about the future, but 2021 even more so than most. One of the goals of this book project is to help facilitate the conversations to make sense of the changes around us, to figure out how to accelerate those that need accelerating, and how to best resist those that call for resistance.
Anyway, more could be said about that, but for now, check out the discounted titles.
Kersplebedeb is a project devoted to producing and distributing radical books and pamphlets and agit prop materials.
