"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Compatible left ain't the left. Read Rockhill.

Do you have any recommendations on where to start on Rockhill's work? I know of him for clowning on Žižek—which is extremely funny, and correct—but I haven't read much further than that. I obviously have some fundamental differences in ideology with anarchists, but they've been nothing but good people any time I've ever worked with them on real things.

Keep in mind my French is conversational at best, and only if I'm talking about World of Warcraft or the locations of public restrooms.
