Politics

---

I'm interested in politics broadly: who wields power, and how.

My politics are inconsistent. I use the term "radical" easily enough. "Anarchist" is closest. Maybe anarcho-communist, which I have the most affinity for and which is closely related to much of my academic work.

I generally steer clear of liberal reform efforts, which divert attention from radical social change even as they sometimes help real people; yes, that's a dilemma. We have enough liberals. We don't have enough people pushing boundaries in reasonable and fundamental ways.

I've been involved in direct action, mass organization, and other political efforts over the years, most recently the Occupy movement (list). I prefer direct action to electoral politics and lobbying legislators.

I sporadically post related comments about a variety of issues on my blog. Though not recently.

Photos on my separate photo website sometimes reflect political themes, especially protest activities.
