   My essay on learning anarchist lessons from CPP-NPA-NDF is out now. I situate the people's war and mamundok in the context of a uniquely Philippine tradition of remontar and then put it in dialogue with Black anarchism, insurrectionary anarchism, and communization.

     @abolisyonista Appreciated learning from this. The overemphasis on going to the mountains versus organizing in the cities felt like an inverted parallel of the situation Frantz Fanon was describing in Wretched of the Earth, where he talks about national liberation parties overemphasizing organizing in urban areas over rural areas

     I found it really insightful, looking forward to discussing it with friends - even though our environment is perhaps very different than yours :)

     But I like this quote:

     >even in the urban heart of States, State power is not totalizing and there are refugia.[68] Within these refugia are seeds of possibility for another world.
