Day 2

Electronic Civil Disobedience
- 60s nostalgia
- where has power gone; not in the cities
- civil disobedience as reformist rather than revolutionary
- cyberpolice; not differentiated b/t trespass and theft
- children as vanguard; "immortality"/imprisonment
- democratic centralization of organizing, populism vs technocratic avant garde
- anarchist cells for ECD
- centralized orgs for training, distribute info, consulting (reformist); don't involve in direct action

- anti naturalist, essential naturalist
- Feminist rationalism; no "masculine" vs "feminine" reason
- I like the disruption of naturalism; often seems like in both race and sex/gender liberation spaces, there's a focus on reclamation or return to an idealized past
- Quote: Ultimately, every emancipatory abolitionism must incline towards the horizon of class abolitionism, since it is in capitalism where we encounter oppression in its transparent, denaturalized form: you’re not exploited or oppressed because you are a wage labourer or poor; you are a labourer or poor because you are exploited.
- no domestic realism / stultification

- I've read this previously, and remember it being transformative, but perhaps for that reason, I didn't find much new in this re-reading, though Lorde's analysis is still great. I'm not sure I agree fully with the titular statement, since after all, who created the master's tools in the first place? Is the master not misusing _our_ tools versus the opposite? Though I do like the distinction of beating the oppressor at his game vs. visionary creation
