Who's drawn to fascism? Postwar study of authoritarianism makes a comeback | CBC Radio
A groundbreaking study conducted in the wake of the Second World War by a group of scholars rocked the academic world when it was published in 1950 — but fell out of favour. Now a new generation of scholars is reviving the lessons of The Authoritarian Personality to understand the politics of our time.

Sabotage is Easy and Fun: Reclaiming Joy in the Fight Against Capitalism – 🏴 Anarchist Federation
🔥 May 6, 2025 - From The Slow Burning Fuse - The ruling class thrives on our exhaustion. They profit from our compliance, our silence, and our belief that resistance is futile. But what if dismantling their systems could be easy? What if it could even be fun? For anarcho-communists, sabotage is not a fringe tactic—it is a liberatory practice…

Reverse the Theft of Public Goods and Take Back Control – Socialist Project

“We Will Behave Calmly and Carefully”: On the Perils of Strategic Pacifism at the End of the World
“We Will Behave Calmly and Carefully”: On the Perils of Strategic Pacifism at the End of the World
How to Blow Up a Pipeline. It’s a bold title. A title that sells books, certainly. And while (spoiler alert) we are not taught how to blow up a pipeline in this 160-page book, Andreas Malm does have some things to say that many climate activists might find explosive. A Swedish eco-socialist, activist, and historian of our collective trajectory toward ecological collapse, Malm is perhaps best known for writing two weighty historical books called Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming, and The Progress of This Storm: Nature and Society in a Warming World. In an interview for the LA Review of Books, Malm describes how, after the summer of 2018, when Europe was swept with wave after wave of unprecedented extreme weather, he told his publisher: “I can’t really do this historical stuff any longer.”1 He felt he needed to write something about right now, something that addressed the extreme emergency of the present moment. Enter: How to Blow up a Pipeline, a compact treatise on the climate movement’s fetishization of pacifism in the face of looming existential threat, and a plea to explore more of our options.
