Spencer Beswick on Nostr: I know publishing articles in It's Going Down is counterproductive to any academic ...
I know publishing articles in It's Going Down is counterproductive to any academic career I want, but I am proud to publish with them. Unlike most academic publishing, their articles come out of (and promote) movement work and are meant to be directly useful in radical struggles.
I think that npub1p9t76z035svpg0tk87rmysa06p3etuxdzukhmte02w7zgdlt77rs28mltx (npub1p9t…mltx) has prompted me to produce some of my best writing:
1. “We’re Pro-Choice and We Riot!”: How Anarcha-Feminists Built Dual Power in Struggles for Reproductive Freedom
"A historical look at how anarchists in the 1990s mobilized against attacks on reproductive freedom and autonomy by taking direct action and building autonomous infrastructure" https://itsgoingdown.org/pro-choice-riot-history-anarcha-feminists/
2. Fighting Fascism from the Age of Reagan to the Present
"A look at the rise of Anti-Racist Action and the anarchist movement in the 1980s and 90s and the lessons that it leaves us with today, in a post-January 6th world" https://itsgoingdown.org/fighting-fascism-reagan-to-present/
3. “We’re Here, We’re Queer, and We Hate the Government!”: Queer Anarchism Against All Domination
"Anarchist historian Spencer Beswick looks back on the intersection of queerness and anarchism within the past 40 years" https://itsgoingdown.org/were-here-were-queer-and-we-hate-the-government-queer-anarchism-against-all-domination/
4. Podcast interview: Lessons From the Fight to Protect Abortion Clinics in the 1990s: A Discussion
"On this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we talk with both long-time anarchist organizer Suzy Subways and historian Spencer Beswick about how anarchists in the 1990s organized in the face of a deadly far-Right attack on abortion access across the so-called United States." https://itsgoingdown.org/clinic-defense-1990s-abortion/
Anyway, just thinking about how important movement-based institutions/infrastructure like It's Going Down are. I really appreciate the work they do. And I guess that's why they've been banned by the free-speech lovers at Twitter/Facebook/Instagram.
