Hello,
I never post here but hey,
I've also been doing a lot of reading over the past month and wanted to
share some of what I've learned. Basically I've been on the internet
forever and somehow never ended up in the libertarian internet. I'm in
Europe too and actual anarchism still has some grou
Yesterday, I listened to Doug Henwood's radio show [1] which featured a
long interview with feminist theorist Nancy Fraser. In it, she
elaborated, among other things, her take on Polanyi's Great

Hi David,
Thx so much for this explication -
It strikes me that "post-truth" may be an appropriation of some academic jargon
that I've heard bantered around at conferences ... as a rhetorical signifier of
