Came upon the realization last year but a serious language barrier and a lack of suitable translations has rendered anglophone understandings of the French radical landscape (the autonomists especially) wholly insufficient
A major problem with viewing (consuming) things like radical politics and revolt entirely thru social media is that there’s a mountain of various contexts missing from 50 second riot clips: that’s the protest culture of those places; there’s an insane amount of organization and
coordination that’s existed for now decades that lends itself to the ability for mass mobilizing at a moment’s notice; those people actually know each other and rely on established relationships; they’ve had to do a lot of the boring shit like small marches and demos where
You can always tell who is in the middle of an ideological deep dive when they’re regurgitating extensive information without offering any insight to it. Long ass threads with niche Spanish Civil War tidbits? There’s an Abel Paz book in the vicinity…
