A blog focusing on radical politics and the creation of emancipatory discourses; in particular on confronting the traditional radical-political discourse and revolutionary framework’s failure to encompass the subaltern subject. To this end, we seek to interrogate and challenge the racist, classist, sexist, heterosexist, colonialist, and more generally repressive material, cultural, and moral forms present throughout civil society and the State. Above all, we believe that the notion of theory and practice as necessarily separate entities is fundamentally counterrevolutionary, and that all theory finds its purposefulness by expression through a revolutionary framework.

I am second-year student at Bard College at Simon’s Rock concentrating in sociology and mathematics. I do not identify by gender or sexuality, but I do receive male privilege. I am a second generation Asian-American; in particular, my mother is ethnically Ilocano Filipino, and my father is white. I also hold a Shodan black-belt in Kotaka-ha Karate, and my outside hobbies include concert piano, basketball, and martial arts training in general. I was born in the Bay Area, and I grew up all over the region. My inspirations — my heroes, really — are my sister, brother, brother-in-law, the bayani of the Philippines and in general any person who has bravely fought against oppression. I also hope to speak on behalf my mother, whose voice was repressed by a white, male, imperialistic and bourgeois world.

My personal justification for radicalism is the voice in the back of my head constantly telling me that there is nothing wrong.

I am a Sophomore at Bard College at Simon’s Rock, concentrating in Political Studies and Mathematics. I believe in sexuality and gender as fluid entities, although I identify using he/him/his pronouns and receive privilege as a male and as a someone who is largely heterosexual. Additionally I am white, for which I also receive privilege, and am of proletarian background, for which I receive somewhat less privilege. I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and first began working full time when I was 12 years old; since then I have done little else. My inspirations are those individuals whom understand that the point of society is to change it. Likewise, I hope to speak for every proletarian whom has had to accept nothing but compromise and subjugation to the capriciousness and cruelty of international capitalism.
