I had the absolute privilege of interviewing had the absolute privilege of interviewing Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin on the rerelease of his seminal book ‘Anarchism and the Black Revolution' by Pluto Press. In this interview, we discuss the misrepresentation of anarchism, the importance of grassroots organisation and the challenges of maintaining optimism in struggle. Lorenzo is an encyclopaedia of our recent struggles. The 1 hour and 44 minutes spent with him will forever influence my criticism of the institutions and omnipresent forces of power around us - for article I urge everyone to go and buy his book. He imparts much wisdom and urges us to think more critically of the conditions we find (or have created) for ourselves. SUBSCRIBE!
