Announcing the Crypto Liberationist
From: www.cryptoliberation.wordpress.com
February 23rd, 2021: Today we are pleased to announce the launch of a new media project at the intersection of anarchism and emerging financial technologies. Rather than providing technical dissection of prices and markets, our writers focus on a *social analysis* of the digital money revolution currently underway. We came into crypto with an anti-capitalist perspective and find no contradiction in continuing to hold space for those beliefs within the broader online community: a task made more urgent against a backdrop of economic turmoil and authoritarian drift.

TOTW: As The Wheel Turns
"History says the revolution attains “permanence,” or at least duration, while the uprising is “temporary.” In this sense an uprising is like a “peak experience” as opposed to the standard of “ordinary” consciousness and experience...But such moments of intensity give shape and meaning to the entirety of a life. The shaman returns - you can’t stay up on the roof forever - but things have changed, shifts and integrations have occurred - a difference is made." - Hakim Bey

How To Talk to the Media, If You Must
from it's going down
For better or for worse, anarchists are finding themselves in the spotlight of the mainstream news. Not since the anti-globalization movement, when thousands shut down the World Trade Organization (WTO) summit in Seattle, Washington in late 1999, has the media been so heavily focused on autonomous social movements. While the intensity of this coverage has waned since the Unite the Right rally in 2017, as the recent reporting of whether or not antifascist groups were going to engage with the massive pro-gun demonstration in Richmond, Virginia shows, we can still find ourselves front and center of a media storm.
