It’s interesting to read this so far into the future from when it was published. Seeing how this framework could be applied to covid and cop city.

This was an interest look into the ideologies and historical moments that have led to so many of the disasters happening today. I think this is great starting point for how capitalism has so quickly devolved into fascism and the gutting of social programs within America. It’s a pretty bleak book, but I agree with the conclusion that community led movements and organizations are the best way forward and out of privatization.
