Zoe Baker out with another Micro Zoe, although at 7+ minutes I'm not sure it's strictly a "micro" video any longer.
Still, very interesting!

Zoe Baker essay on not always trusting what academics say...

Wow, never realized how tough a time Zoe Baker has been having. Please show her your support where possible. She's going to be dropping more videos in the coming year.

You really can't make shit like this up. Next week zoe baker is doing a talk at freedom books in london to promote and discuss her new book on anarchist history. She'll be remote videoing into the event, but freedom doesn't have a mask enforcement policy and isn't letting other people remote video into the event... So zoe will be the only shielding person (kind of, through a computer) welcome at the event. Hear that kids? If you lick the nondisabled boot hard enough and get famous enough they'll let you videochat into your own book launch (but they still won't wear masks to allow you to participate in society or keep you alive, be realistic) 😂
i would @ any of the people involved in this debacle but zoe is still only using twitter and freedom's masto seems to be an unmonitored crossposter 🤷♀️
"Within an anarchist society, people with the desire or predisposition to oppress and exploit others would still exist. They would not, however, find themselves in a situation where there are positions of power they can take over and use to engage in oppression and exploitation on a large scale."

"The position that decisions passed by majority vote should be binding on every member of the organisation was not a uniquely platformist one. The CNT’s constitution, which was printed on each membership card, declared that 'Anarcho-syndicalism and anarchism recognise the validity of majority decisions'."

"The anarchist critique of democratic governments should not be interpreted as the claim that all forms of government are equally bad. Both Bakunin and Malatesta also claimed that the worst democracy was preferable to the best monarchy or dictatorship."

"Anarchists who advocate democracy without the state are themselves in favour of free association. Graeber, for example, advocates a society 'where humans only enter those kinds of relations with one another that would not have to be enforced by the constant threat of violence' ... Given this, the pro-democracy and anti-democracy anarchists I have examined are advocating the same position in different language."
