It Could Happen Here (Daily w/ Robert Evans)

"A jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world, the one we all live in now, and a guide to avoiding the worst pitfalls along the road to a better world. It Could Happen Here season 1 ended with the possibility of a second civil war. It Could Happen Here Daily with Robert Evans, accepts collapse as a given, and tries to provide a roadmap to survival."

good review! I also found

good review! I also found robert evans analysis lacking in this regard. it's probably just him backing away from discomfort at certain implications of the subject matter, which i've watched many folks do, even when we agree on 95% of things. that same old squeamishness about violence, tends to reflect a relatively comfortable existence imo

alt-radlibs discuss “Desert”

anyone gonna listen to this latest episode? let me know how it goes: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-it-could-happen-here-30717896/

I gave it a go. Didn't get

I gave it a go. Didn't get far into it though.
Desert is not a text for noobs I guess because when I read it, when it first hit the states, I thought it said a lot that needed to be said. And it holds up in my opinion.

Anarchists are a minority. Maybe some union in 1920's France or Spain was majority anarchist but that by no means means that most people then were anarchist. Not everyone is in a union, just for starters.
Quibbles.

Desert is a text of coming to terms with what exists. It is neither defeatist nor doomer, it is merely pointing out certain things are coming to an end, get your affairs in order, find your fellows and hunker down.

What is to be won? In a revolution, what is being fought over? What is there to win? A dying ecosystem, failed infrastructure?

Desert says find what is possible in the coming chaos.

Counterterrorism can be a tough chess match

Fighting theocratic terror is not easy, as many learned in places like Rojava. This goes double when the terrorists also hold territory within which you have difficulty projecting power, and gets still worse when they are state supported or worst of all have a state of their own.

There are probably two way to pre-empt attacks. The first is to be able to protect all targets at once. I've seen this done for short periods vs Operation Rescue in the 1990's, but this is really fucking difficult to sustain over time. This can be at any level from a shared guard force for all clinics to regular troops patrolling against Daesh.

The other is to be privy to their planning: to compromise one of their people, compromise a.phone, bug their meeting spaces, or (dangerous) get one or more of your own people inside.If the terrorists act offensively enought hough, the people among whom they move might start to rat them out. A real world example might be clinic harassers at a doctor's child's elememtary school inspiring a member of the church organizing the harassment to discreetly pass us personal information on the worst of the organizers.

Needless to say, we must not make tbose mistakes ourselves. If we act like thugs to the communities around us, we get ratted out to whoever out enemies of the day may be.

This in turn raises the question of "false flag" tactics. Suppose an antichoice youth group holds a weekend mobilization based out of a conservative church. A few used condoms behind the church, in places they are sure to be seen but plausibly could have been left there after use could make a lot of headaches for the organizers.

Robert Evans is on the US

Robert Evans is on the US govt payroll via bellingcat, and a quick look at his Twitter feed shows he is basically a democrat. I enjoy plenty of podcasts made by liberals but I wouldn’t post about it here. I know he identifies as anarchist but in the sense that he has gone from ancap to radlib.
