    Orwell said the same thing about western international media's coverage of the Spanish Civil War. The big liberal papers painted it as a struggle between nice milquetoast liberal Democracy and fascism, when it was at least every bit as much a popular revolution against fascism and capitalism simultaneously. (Not to mention a civil war within the civil war, within the left itself, between the bourgeois Republic and its authoritarian stalinist backers, and the militant popular anarchist and trotskyite militias who advocated for immediate collectivization of land and industry)
    Never trust a British or American paper to paint an adequate picture of another country's revolution

      Orwell was literally a stooge of British intelligence who ratted out journalists and activists as “communist sympathizers” 😭
      It’s why his stupid books became so popular in western culture. Because they’re useful propaganda against any anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist power that managed to survive and stabilize itself. It’s easy to cry authoritarianism when one is at an ideological dead end and has never had to partake in the process of building power. Anarchists from the 1910s would look at the modern state of organizing and think that it needs a serious overhaul. Those people were far more militant, actually took the effort of organizing labor, and had a political program. But I suppose they didn’t have decades of Cold War and red scare propaganda holding them back.
      I for one am frightened at the ease of which the extreme right has been building power and influence in western countries all over (and in the case of France recently, the right was handed power by the centrist government to keep the left out!). And their rabid anti-immigrant and Islamaphobic scapegoating is only going to get worse in the coming decades when climate change creates an even greater refugee crisis. So I absolutely don’t want to hear an almost century long grudge about the fucking Spanish Civil War continue to be perpetuated.

    It's very simple. No movement will live long if it doesn't have a strict organization, a mission statement an objective demands and heavy organization. Good bad or neutral, no movement can exist as an amorphous blob. Nothing gets done that way. And if we think this way we will always lose because the other side will always be more organized than we. So those people really had a lot to learn. Hopefully now they've learned it and we can move on. Power to the people, friends.

      Movements don't come together like that especially in the USA where there are so many small outlying factions. We don't have a unifying culture to rally around here. In China for example the communist party was able to unify under the banner of being a more unified China, but they have thousands of years of interaction with each other and no CIA sabotaging them to death. If we tried to unify under one banner, then everyone else not under that banner gets repulsed away and nothing changes. We also have an obsession with moral purity rather than winning the day which only hurts us. The normal person has a defeatist mentality in the USA, that is how we have been programed.

      @@totonow6955 I'm sure you're right and that's all very poetic and beautiful but the truth is we live in a practical world where we have to get down to brass tacks. We can stay in a world of ideas or we can get out there and try to fight through the system. I see no way forward but through the pre-existing political structure. We can demonstrate all day but that's not going to change laws. Unfortunately unpleasant laws and courts exist. Public action matters but I think it's even more important to try to get organized both in front of and behind the scenes. The time for getting better people elected is now. Demonstrations are great and all but the Black Panthers showed that it starts with organizing and trying to get our own people elected. So did Eugene Debs. I think to to think otherwise is just wish fulfillment. We can start locally- there are the courts, and room for various lawsuits, then there are left political parties, getting our measures on the ballot, and trying to win political seats. If the other side can organize, why can't we? We just don't have the MSM conglomerates behind us but who cares? That doesn't make it impossible, just harder.

    Very good interview, great insights. The whole time listening the Occupy Wall Street movement and subsequent movements come to mind. He is so right media comes on scene and finds the voice to fit their narrative and so steers the movement by selecting its representation unless leadership is established.

    I've never heard such intellectual and moral chaos expressed so elegantly. "Someone said "That's a Leninist deviation!" so they exploded the movement!" I admire some of what Chris does but I just cannot fathom how people who are clearly highly intelligent can spend their lives expending so much hot air on abstract concepts that have nothing to do with actual power or justice. Your concepts are not a map or model of anything. God help us

    As Chomsky said at the time Occupy was wonderful but they had no way of taking protest to effective policy change. Why do you think the Unions in the UK formed the Labour Party?

    It is very critical for a horizontal to be created initially with loud voices, but in the backdrop, and then backstage, there should be a leadership for the protesters to have someone to speak to Power. Today we’re seeing very limited core leaders speaking to Power, even after all the exhausting horizontals that have been demonstrated for instance now on the anti-genocide movement . Core protest leaders must come from power to face power.

    Loved this interview. The point about not having a plan after protest. The elite have been so smart distracting and dividing. Peace comrades! Let's never give up. Because..."We don't fight fascists to win, we fight bc they're fascists" CH. And..."sucking at something in the beginning leads to success at something" Jake the dog from Adventure Time.
