Russell Means was a leader in the American Indian Movement (AIM) of the 1960s and 70s, and remains one of the most outspoken Native Americans in the U.S. I came across this essay while researching for my upcoming critique of Marxism, and was blown away by its clarity. This is Means’ most famous essay.

Examined Life by Astra Taylor. Astra Taylor on the Unschooled Life. Bring the Ruckus. By the Ruckus Collective, Phoenix, 2001 Over the last few years there has been a growing discussion among revolutionaries of the need for a national or continental anti-authoritarian revolutionary organization.
This discussion has emerged from several contexts, including the death of the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation, the anti-globalization protests that began in Seattle in 1999, and by criticisms of the whiteness of the American left made primarily by revolutionaries of color.

The Rise of the Praetorian Class. Dear Reader, As I am just coming off a grueling stretch of almost non-stop writing – much of it related to this month’s edition of The Casey Report, published yesterday (get it while it’s hot) – I am approaching the matter of these musings this morning with a somewhat fuzzy mind and a throbbing right hand that may (but I hope doesn’t) signal the early onset of carpal tunnel syndrome.
