We are pleased to announce the debut of DCSC.ws, a new website devoted to thinking critically about the politics and practices of state repression.
We intend to examine issues of security, surveillance, and counterinsurgency from a non-sectarian revolutionary anti-state, anti-capitalist perspective. We will do so using a wide range of material, including news briefs, research papers, film and book reviews, and political cartoons. Our purpose and goal is simple, to help current and future revolutionaries prepare for and effectively resist repression.
Our initial offering features Jess Sundin’s recent speech concerning solidarity and resistance to grand jury investigations, the first in a series of essays by M. Hyäne on drones, and a review of Black Against Empire, a new history of the Black Panther Party.
We will be adding new material every week or so. If you would like to receive notices when new material appears, please send an email to dcommasc@gmail.com with “subscribe” in the subject line.
If you have an idea for the website, please see our Submissions page and write us at dcommasc@gmail.com. Written, audio, video, and still-image submissions are all welcome. We are especially interested in working with new writers, and can offer editorial guidance and research assistance as needed.
Responses to the material we run are welcome in the form of letters to the editor. We are always looking to improve the site, and any feedback is appreciated.
We feel like we’re off to a good start, and look forward to watching the project mature over the coming months.
sincerely,
AC, Claude, Em, Kristian, and Steven
