Forwarded from OTAS: operational thinking against the state
Stray thought:
What is the operational function of police review board?
We can look to the history of labor struggles to see a similar mechanism; the complaint box. Taylorist management thinkers found that if they introduced a complaint box that labor organizing lost steam, even without the complaints actually bring addressed.
Official police accountability groups often function in the same way. To give a pressure release valve energy can be spent into and also to garner more legitimacy for local governments in the eyes of the people.

As telegram gets flooded with neo nazis and white supremacists coming in from parler.. I'd like to remind y'all that racists, homophobes, and bigots are not welcome here and never will be.

Listen Left; is an audiobook platform; We turn leftist, post-leftist, anarchist, communist, socialist, and revolutionary texts into #audiobooks. For a year we worked on a text-to-speech program, tweaking voices and pronunciation, inflection and flow, and editing hundreds of texts so that they can go through the program. We’re going to keep building out the library indefinitely, as the left continues to rise globally. We hope you enjoy and learn. Start a reading group, finally read that theory, flex your brain, and sharpen your organizing skills. https://listenleft.org/
