THE FORUMS

So no one seems to visit this site or use the forums at all. As a result, the forums have been reduced to a comment section for stuff posted here. I hope to have it host a curriculum of radical classes that people can use to educate themselves. Perhaps it could host an online reading group or other constructive projects in the future, as well. There are better forums out there, anyway. Check out RevLeft and Anarchist Black Cat. The Nuclear Summer does not endorse these sites, but I check them out occasionally. Some good discussion, and not too much flaming, it would seem.

ANARCHIST CRITICAL THINKING ON THE ECONOMY NO. 1

The United States (and elsewhere) is in the midst of one of the largest economic crises in world history. Such important events should be leading anarchists to an analysis that will shape their activities at this crucial time. Anarchists, especially in the United States, should be striving to place these events into a revolutionary context so that their actions are timely and effective -- "capitalizing" on sentiment that is already felt by the poor and working classes.

Fresh from being seized in the raid on the convergence space in St. Paul, MN, The Nuclear Summer presents this pamphlet!

In this introductory pamphlet, author Charles Imboden puts forward the idea of anarchist alternatives to immediately improve the conditions of the poor and working-class under capitalism and create a shift in consciousness that will lead to social revolution.

UPHEAVAL VOL. 2, NO. 2: CREATING MOMENTUM BY BUILDING ALTERNATIVES

Let us speak for a moment about empowerment and the anarchist movement. The recent benefit for those going to protest the Democratic and Republican national conventions, activities hosted by the Phoenix Anarchist Coalition, the opposition to the state GOP convention in Mesa, the bicycle co-op in Tempe undermining our car culture, and all the other groups and individuals holding shows and events are evidence of the growing anarchist/anti-authoritarian movement in the Phoenix area.
