Counterinsurgency Then and Now

This month we are focusing on repression against women in revolutionary movements. We will be focusing specifically on Polish/German communist Rosa Luxemburg, Assata Shakur of the Black Panthers and Black Liberation Army, Anna Mae Aquash of the American Indian Movement, and (Karen Pickett of Earth First will be with us to present on) the FBI repression and bombing of Judi Bari. As usual, we will be dissecting the repressive tactics used, as well as discussing lessons to be learned from these cases, in order to strengthen our practice in the face of ongoing efforts to neutralize our movements.
