I love this photo Lydon and Sidney in Berlin 1977 John stares down the camera -dead cold & dead cool- he’s stood directly in front of a ‘wanted anarchists’ poster -the poster offering a cash reward for information that may lead to the capture of the R.A.F - Sid swigs from a bottle …

For a decade or two, the music press acted as a popular alternate curriculum, introducing a generation or two to radical politics, wider reading and alternate/submerged histories. If you weren’t of the class who saw higher education as either guaranteed or a natural birth right-it was invaluable.

1/20 I’m going to do the 20 books thing So here is my first choice👇 I’m presenting these in no particular order - however, this is certainly the best ‘political’ text I have read in recent years It was published in English in 2021 by Seagull Books My old comrade Richard Braude translated it

Early Bifo text feat. Marx’s ‘fragment on the machines’. The fragment is important among the early Operaisti. Can anyone answer if this is the first published use of it within this tendency, or was the fragment already circulating in the general intellect of the scene?

Both films are good at portraying the limits placed on working class militancy by trade union leadership- in particular the TUC- who are portrayed as an active break on the militant aspirations of the workforce

It was a real pleasure to present my paper for the WCML at Notes from Below’s inquiry stream at historical materialism HM was really something to attend this year. There isn’t a lot to smile about these days, but at the level of ideas we are winning.
