Everything changes, tomorrow.

The Daedalus Radical Performance Reading Group is back. We’re meeting tomorrow to discuss Naomi Klein’s remarkable and timely hatchet job on the notion that capitalism can save us from climate change. (That’s a personal opinion, obviously. Cos if we all agreed, there’d be no point in having a reading group.)

If you’d like to be kept up-to-date on the group, drop us a line. We have a separate email group, rather than send info on every meeting to everyone on the mailing list.

Our Word is Our Weapon

The latest reading group meeting took place last week. Get in touch for the details of the next one.

In the meantime, as a follow-up to that, here’s the speech in which Subcommandante Insurgente Marcos announced the end of his existence, and, to whet your whistle, a rather good quotation from it:

It is our conviction and our practice that in order to rebel and to struggle, neither leaders nor bosses nor messiahs nor saviors are necessary. To struggle, one only needs a sense of shame, a bit of dignity, and a lot of organization.
