CHAPTER

Repression and Resistance: Echoes of History

This chapter examines the connections between contemporary protests against police violence, like 'Stop Cop City', and historical governmental repression in the U.S., drawing parallels to past actions against perceived threats such as the Communist Party. It highlights the dangers faced by activists labeled as subversive and discusses the complexities of identity politics, particularly in the context of Black liberation and LGBTQ rights. The conversation critiques the dilution of radical thought within modern movements, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of history to inform current struggles for societal change.
