The book Unhumans, by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, is a fascist manifesto. It argues that the “Great Men of History” should take their cues from homicidal dictators like Augusto Pinochet and Francisco Franco, reject reason and democracy, and ruthlessly annihilate the gangs of communist “unhumans” who are currently threatening to destroy the United States. It explicitly advocates “eye for an eye” justice, promising a new McCarthyism complete with blacklists, along with the immediate banning of all teachers’ unions. It is perhaps the most paranoid, hateful, and terrifying book I have ever picked up. (I say this as someone who has read Mein Kampf.) And it comes with a warm and supportive blurb from Ohio senator J.D. Vance, who is currently the Republican party’s vice presidential nominee.

Tbh for a Neoliberal he wasn't that bad, which is still absolutely horrible

Okay so I'm showing off a bit here because my husband gave me the coolest book ever for Christmas. It's illustrated by N O Bonzo, and every illustration is something beautiful.

Of course, the full text is always free online, and it's one of my favorite books to recommend. An audiobook version is also free on YouTube. I used to listen to it when I was walking or longboarding. Just a warning though: Some of the verbiage he uses to describe indigenous groups is dated and offensive to most readers now. It's obvious that his intent is to combat the notion that was pervasive amongst his contemporaries that these were "lesser evolved" societies, but ... it's been a hot minute since I've read this, and the offending language has really stood out to me this time.

With that being said, I still feel like recommending this to people, and especially to those who still cling to the idea that anarchism or communism could never work due to "human nature," which is something that I've heard a lot. That's why I chose the quotation I did as the post title -- it really sums up the most important point of the entire text, in my opinion.

The foreward to this edition is excellent and provides some further context, and if there's enough interest maybe I can share some excerpts in the future.

Anyway, this book also has illustrations like this:

With little blurbs describing examples of mutual aid in action.

And the margins of the text are also illustrated:

I want to get some colored pencils so I can color while I'm sitting on the bus lol

Anyway, I'm done showing off. Thank you for indulging me.

The concept of mutual aid is so important to understand, and once we start to grasp how it looks, I feel like we can recognize examples even in our own neighborhoods and communities -- in spite of the fact that we live in systems that encourage competition! Just think what we could accomplish without these oppressive systems in place!

This knowledge should give us hope.

Despite making massive mistakes and not being able to explain myself (autism sucks sometimes) I have not forgotten about this community. I hoped that by stepping down it would being this community back, looking in retrospect I was extremely mistaken and for that I apologize. In the near future I am willing to retake my spot as the head moderator (with community approval).

To clarify: I am requesting community feedback from anyone who wants to bring back this community

AARON BUSHNELL 1999-2024

"I will be no longer complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine."

I always get emotional when I think of Aaron Bushnell. He reminds me of so many of my radical brothers and sisters unable to live with the injustices so many accept as normal.

PS. I tried out the new alt text feature on Jerboa. Let me know if it has any issues!
