I know a history MA living in Durham who would love to help. Can I pass your email along? Happy to talk more over dms!

This is SO useful! Thank you! I feel like the earth liberation studios poster could be featured somewhere here as inspiration? earthliberationstudio.com/shop/abolish...

In my reading notes I have written down, OK does communism have a non-conscious at all? lol.

Agreed on both counts. I don't see why you can't have a concept of proletarian self-organization as communism without having to resort to a fully self-transparent/self-conscious collective subject. And yea, I'll always be partial to a concept like transindividual organizing.

At several points he describes the org of self org as a kind of "catalytic convertor" "transistor" "black box" etc. that allows that self org to critique and amplify itself. When I try to think of it in practice though I agree that it resembles plain organization. I'm not sure I fully get it either.

In the book, at least, self-organization is supposed to have a component of reflexivity. And the organization of self organization is trying to hold together both difference & distance and that sense of reflexivity.

Have you been reading The Future of Revolution? (Not to say you haven't asked/thought this question before haha).

It's SO good! Both super clear and analytical & at the same time insightful and relatable. (Also, I really wish more of humanities writing would put the same effort into reflecting on methods.)

There’s a lot more that I want to do with this concept & I have a lot more material about it. I hopefully will get a chance to expand on the article in the book.

I didn’t feel equipped to write about the pavyon just because I hadn’t researched it and felt it probably deserves its own article. But it’s precisely the place where you might find a contractor/real estate developer type.
