Interview Recorded at the 3rd annual Phoenix Anti-capitalist Conference
Fresh from reporting from inside the Oregon Militia standoff, Sole speaks with Alexander “Sasha” Reid Ross on his work. Sasha is a co-moderator for the Earth First! Newswire, author, and contributor to Counterpunch & Its Going Down. His most recent book “Grabbing Back,” out now on AK Press is about the battle over public space. Sole & Sasha have a critical discusson of the Oregon Militia Standoff, its wider implication for the right wing/ patriot movement in the states and tie it in with the struggle all over the world over public space.
Topics discussed include:
- Oregon Militia Stand-off and fascist elements that played a
role in it
-The link between the so called “patriot” movement, their white
supremacist roots and a brief but highly informative history of the
modern movement.
- The long term implications of Donald Trump’s electoral bid & the
origins of the racist language he uses
- “The Global Land Grab” and the battle over the commons and
private property being waged all over the world.
- The interconnected-ness of the struggle between the global loss
of urban and rural land public space.
