Nobody reads this far down right? I'll just shill for J-Novel Club a bit because I love that they sell DRM free Ebooks. Go buy the series from their website.

The focus of this article is on anarchist movements, but it contains some timely reflections on the dynamics of revolutionary movements and the tension between "Leninist" organizational strategies and "horizontalist", anarchist-informed approaches.

Why is this solarpunk? Because changing society takes people power. Because protests change nations. Because for the last decade protests inspired by democratic anarchist principles have sprung up in nation after nation, from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. And the after action report of the first two decades of the 21st century shows not just how anarchist-inspired protests began but how they fail - and who takes advantage of that failure.

This article is long, complex, and hard to read. Emotionally hard. It holds some truths that are hard for punks and anarchists to hear.

And if your activism is more than just posting online it may be the most important article you read this year.
