Heres what were reading today, reflecting on the "American Revolution".
"What sort of freedom is promised by the revolution and by whom?" Is the opening question of this zine, Or Revolution? Itself being an excerpt of Sasha Durakov's book The Savage Peace.
"The American revolutionaries were not 'men of their times,' tacitly supporting slavery like everyone else. They were among the vanguard of the slave institution, attempting to put down the possibility of a successful slave insurrection in a period where that possibility was very likely. White supremacy was a structural reaction against civil war, a way of coding inferior bodies to preserve the new revolutionary coalition of house holding men."
