NEW VIDEO: When you think of anarchism, leaders probably don’t spring to mind. Anarchism is known for its rejection of authority. But what exactly is leadership, and how does it relate to the tension between authority and anarchy?

I think humans can do better than an economic system in which the actions of one ruler can wreck the entire global economy.

Now is the time to radicalise the libs, rather than to own them. It's easy to be annoyed by people who don't know what you do, but once you didn't know it either.

When Trump was elected I cancelled all my projects and switched to just writing about trans people. We're under attack and I wanted to try and help defend us. I'm making slow progress but my intellectual history of the concept 'transgender' is getting there. Will be the first of many big videos.

Reading about trans people around the world. The Dou Donggo in Indonesia have a category for people who were born in the wrong body. They are ‘sara siwe’, who ‘missed at becoming female’, or ‘sara mone’, who ‘missed at becoming male’.

Trans people aren't new. In 1890 an anonymous medical student wrote that since childhood "it was my secret and firm wish to be a girl. I even believed I was one". They reported once meeting a girl who felt the same way and wanted to be a boy. The pair dreamed of swapping places with each other.

Today mutual aid is often used to describe acts of charity like giving away food to strangers. In France, during the late 18th and early 19th century, it referred to literal mutual aid. Workers would all pay into the same fund. If a worker was unemployed or sick the fund would pay for their expenses

Support of patriarchy in historical socialist theory, such as Proudhon's, is often framed as a man being inconsistent and repeating the prejudices of his time. This is true but ignores another key element: they are constructing an ideology to legitimize their own, and other men's, power over women.

Prefiguration (building the new world in the shell of the old) isn't just about creating horizontal organizations like unions and affinity groups. It also requires transformations at an interpersonal level in our private lives eg men doing housework or parents fully supporting their queer child.

Kropotkin is sometimes critiqued as being a naive optimist who assumes stuff will work out automatically. Yet Kropotkin himself complained that "there is too much of a tendency to look upon the revolution as one great festival in the course of which everything will sort itself out for the best."

There has never been a good president and never will be. Any person who wields state power, irrespective of their good intentions, will be compelled by the dynamics of the social structure they're participating in to oppress and dominate. The ultimate problem isn't evil rulers. It's the institution.

Whilst in power Jimmy Carter supported several brutal dictatorships, with a long record of human rights abuses, in order to further the interests of the US empire. For some reason liberals (who purport to care about freedom) aren't talking about facts so well known they're on his wikipedia page.
