Today in Labor History May 3, 1968: The first battles of the May Upheaval began in the Latin Quarter of Paris. The police arrested 500 students meeting at the University of Sorbonne to protest repression at Nanterre. Revolt broke out along the route taken by police vans, with thousands fighting against the police. Throughout the month of May and part of June, workers and students occupied schools, factories and offices. By mid-May, 10 million workers were on strike.

"A Merry Life and A Short One" is a compact collection of my essays about pirates and piracy as examples of anarchy. In the course of the book I discuss pirates of the Golden Age historically and politically and make a case for exactly why they are actual anarchist examples. This book would be perfect for those who want to read about pirates or who want to examine the meaning and consequences of anarchy.

This is why we can’t vote our way out of this. Stop pretending like the democratic process is the key to success. It’s not.

Fascists don’t play the rules. They’re ignoring judges (even arresting them) and attacking anyone seen as a threat.

This is a coup. Not a political prowess that needs to be bested.

They can only be stopped by rebellion. A revolution.

Fight now or die tomorrow. ✊🏻🧨
