Rosie McGee,
handcuffed to Bob Weir, front,
with other members of the 710 Ashbury collective being led out of the house after being arrested by police following a drug raid on the famous Grateful Dead house in Haight Ashbury on OCTOBER 2, 1967.
"By the time a paddy wagon arrived to take us down to the Hall of Justice, a crowd had gathered across the street.

One of the things that made organizing a lot easier with the GDC was a thing called "GDC in a box." It was a zip file with all kinds of resources. There was a directory structure, templates for all kinds of things like meetings and paperwork you had to file (for legal reasons) and "read me" files.
We had all kinds of support. There were people you could talk to who had been there. There were people you could call to walk through legal paperwork (taxes). Centralized orgs are vulnerable and easy to infiltrate. They're easy for states to shut down. But there are benefits to org structures.
I think it's possible to have the type of support we had with the GDC, but without the politics of an org (even the IWW). I hope this most recent essay has some of the same properties. I hope that it makes building something new, something no one has really imagined before, easier.
This whole project is something a bit different. It's a collective vision and collective project, from the ground up. Some of it has felt like a brain dump, just getting things that have been swimming around in my head down somewhere. But I hope this feels more like an invitation.
Everything thus far written is all useless unless people do things with it. Only from that point does it become a thing that lives, a thing with its own consciousness that can't be controlled by any individual human.
Tech billionaire cultists want to bring a new era of humanity with AGI. That is definitely not possible with LLMs, and may not be possible at all. But there is a super intelligence that is possible, though it's been constrained by capitalism: collective human intelligence.
The grand vision of the tech dystopians is that of the ultimate slave that can then enslave all humans on their behalf. I think we can build a humanity that can liberate itself from their grasp, crush their vision, and build for itself a world in which people will never be enslaved again. Not only do I think it's possible, I think it's necessary. I think there are only two choices: collective liberation or death.
And that's what I plan to write about next time to wrap this whole project up. Today things often feel impossible. But people talked about the Middle Ages as though they were the end of the world, and then everything changed in unimaginable ways. Everything can, and will, change again.
"The profit motive often is in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings."

"Two Republicans in the US House of Representatives on Monday added their names to a discharge petition that will now force a vote on legislation to restore the collective bargaining rights of hundreds of thousands of federal workers targeted by GOP President Donald Trump."

New limits reflect sloppy reasoning and a desire for collective punishment.

« LŠ, c’est une refondation, ça veut dire qu'il y quelque chose qu'on est en train de recréer, Il y aura des hauts et des bas. Il y aura des moments très durs, c'est évident, mais c'est quelque chose qui est Š faire (…) Pour l'instant, j'ai décidé, j'ai bien dit j'ai décidé, d'avoir confiance. »

There’s an unwritten rule in publishing,
or so I’ve been told:
don’t write about COVID.
Our collective attention span has been saturated by those endless months holed up in attics and cramped corners of apartments, staring out at a world we could no longer take part in.
When the worst of it passed, we felt an urge to close that chapter, to padlock it behind a heavy latch.
But in doing so, we also tuck away the hard-won lessons of that time:

Collective Punishment Backfires (I wrote this):

Collective Punishment Backfires

Syndicalist unions are fundamentally different from the bureaucratic trade unions that dominate today. Modern unions function as institutional frameworks that negotiate within capitalism, often acting to preserve the system rather than challenge it. They centralize power in hierarchical leadership, limit direct worker control, and prioritize legal contracts and state approval over genuine worker autonomy.
Syndicalism rejects this institutionalized framework. It refuses collective barga…
