#63: Anarchists in the Trump Era, Year One: 2017 in Review, Part III

Synopsis

In Episode 63 of the Ex-Worker, we conclude our series of reflections on 2017 with an audio version of the recently published essay “Anarchists in the Trump Era: Scorecard, Year One.” It analyzes five key turning points in 2017, assessing how anarchists took part and what lessons we can learn for the battles ahead. While recognizing all we’ve accomplished under incredible stress, it argues for the importance of broadening our efforts to challenge authority and dismantle hierarchy in every area of our lives and our societies in 2018. Afterwards, Clara and Alanis debate themes from the essay and our year in review episodes, around relating to non-anarchists on the left, organizational formats, resiliency and care, and more. {Feb 7, 2017}   -------SHOW NOTES------   Table of Contents: Introduction {0:01} Anarchists in the Trump Era: Scorecard, Year One {2:02} Dawn of a New Apocalypse {3:43} J20: A Call to Revolt {6:20} The Airport Blockades: A Message to the Center {13:02} Shutting Down Milo in Berkeley: A R
