On a day often filled with consumerism and shallow romanticism, this manifesto from a comrade in New York City explores love as a foundation for militancy—a means of both resisting and redeeming.

This reminded me that Emskee invited me to one of his DJ gigs for my 31. birthday. At this time he teamed up together with a second DJ of the name Easy Moe Bee. Producer of several 2Pac songs. A handshake with the latter that night was one of my Hip Hop moments of all time. Unfortunately I can't find the mix of said night anymore but the one in the link is also from the RECORDnition events where they spinned mostly R'n'B, Detroit house and some Rap as far as I can remember.

So You Want to Get Involved in Mutual Aid | The Cut


"In mutual-aid systems, people work cooperatively to meet the needs of everyone in the community. It’s different from charity, which features a one-way relationship between an organization and recipients, and often responds to the effects of inequality but not its causes.
[...]
As prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba explained to the New Yorker: “It’s not community service — you’re not doing service for service’s sake. You’re trying to address real material needs.”

[...]

The term “mutual aid” comes from 19th-century anarchist Peter Kropotkin, who formulated the theory after going to the Siberian wilderness.
Expecting to observe competition in the natural world, he instead witnessed animals united against common struggle.
He later outlined his theory in his 1902 essay collection, Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, writing, “In the long run, the practice of solidarity proves much more advantageous to the species than the development of individuals endowed with predatory inclinations.”"
