Peter Kropotkin: Science, Ethics, and Class Struggle – SEDI Hosts Iain McKay

In this SEDI session, anarchist writer and editor Iain McKay delivers a brisk, idea-dense tour of Peter Kropotkin’s science, ethics, and revolutionary politics—showing how the famed geographer’s fieldwork and evolutionary arguments undergird a living anarchist program. McKay (lead author of An Anarchist FAQ and editor/translator of major Kropotkin editions) threads together mutual aid, syndicalism, and council organization with Kropotkin’s critiques of state socialism and “red-in-tooth-and-c...

Barrett Brown: Hacktivist, Narcissist, Anonymous

How does someone introduce Barrett Brown? That's a really tough one because the personal, professional, and political stories play off each other in numerous ways. I would have to say that first of all, Barrett Brown is one of too few to survive a very intense era of anti-authoritarian activism and state repression. In addition, Brown is a survivor of the innumerable disappointments that I feel have had a big impact on the way things are now. He is someone who has comprehended the contemporar...
