Some of my favourite images from Gezi Park: [Translation: Antarctica is resisting] Aylin Geziparkı @aylinyrd Turkish protesters get creative: because statues are people too. #occupygezi #direngeziparkı #bubirsivildirenis Yiannis Βaboulias @YiannisBab The picture of the dervish protester in a gas-mask is already iconic. #occupygezi Source: statigr.am Source: statigr.am And some of my less favourite ones: Via: @sda_can Solidarity…

Post-Nazi Partisans?
From Souciant: Post-Nazi Partisans? by Randomizer on Oct 16, 2012 Radicals the world over continue to make use — some would say overuse — of the terms “Fascist” and “Nazi”, which have demonstrated remarkable staying power in the lexicon of demonization. But there’s no denying that they resonate with special force in Germany. As Europe’s economy threatens to spiral out […]

From History is Made at Night: Looking forward to Friday’s Praxis records party in London, all aboard the MS Stubnitz boat (facebook events details here) . Praxis released its first records in November 1992, and twenty years later is still going strong.

#Occupy II
Further to this, here’s an extract from a brilliant analysis of Occupy London from History is Made at Night: There are some odd alternative economy models around in the occupations, notions of capitalism without finance capital (the ‘real economy’), of monetary reform, of a resource-based economy that is beyond capitalism and communism (this is the […]

Or, rather, Paul Stott does: Upstart Clothing – Blaggers ITA Shirts This blog has rarely covered fashion, but a plug for Upstart Clothing in Leeds is long overdue.

Image from a wonderful collection of Kafka street art here. I think I’ve already recommended the fascinating blog, Who Makes the Nazis. Anyway, I’m recommending it again. Read, for example, Hanns Eisler: Contemporary Music and Fascism (1944). On Iran: Danny Postel and Nader Hashemi on the Green movement, 1 & 2. Mark Rudd: on the dangers of […]
