Today, the revolutionary project remains stuck between ineffective activism and resignation. We intend to break out of this impasse.

As revolts catch fire across the globe with a quickening pace, they are snuffed out just as swiftly. The strategies honed by the state in the jungles of Vietnam and the mountains of Iraq are adapted for deployment in the streets of Ferguson, Baltimore, and our own cities. In their eyes, every one of us is a potential insurgent resisting the control of the social order. Repression can no longer be met with the indignation of a victimizing narrative, it must be understood as the logical action of a partisan whose interests clash with our own: the action of an enemy.

We hope that by reading and discussing the topics of insurgency and counter-insurgency that we can act in a more decisive manner upon the terrain we find ourselves in.
