Speaking of the band "7 Year Birch", I would recommend the movie "Prey for Rock & Roll" from 2003,
with such excellent cast members as Gina Gershon, Shelly Cole, Lori Petty and Drea de Matteo.
As usual, don't watch the trailer. It's... yuck.

@printemps THATS WHAT WE WANNA KNOW FDGFDG
I used to say that if the myth about Soros paying for anarchist/communist activism was true (which is just both hilariously wrong and sadly directly opposite of reality) then I would get paid to go to the pub...
as I almost always end up talking politics and such with complete strangers.
I'm reminded of a case when I had missed last train home, so went to a fancy nightclub against the winter cold.
I sat down with what turned out to be as they themselves said "insurance brats" and talked of course politics.
When I mentioned I couldn't afford more drinks, they declared they'd pay for the night if I promised to tell them more about anarchism.
I did so until that, the last club, closed for the night... and we went to on of their homes for an after-party, still talking anarchism.

@dankwraith choice as fetishised in this way always means 'choice for the rich'
pol, philosophy
"freedom of choice" is not a very useful way of looking at social/economic organization because the whole point of societal systems is that they force people into doing certain things, and the left critique is that we should organize those systems in a way that results in positive outcomes rather than negative ones. looking at existence, i don't really think individual choice meaningfully exists outside of very specific personal spheres, like i can choose what to make for breakfast in the morning or what books to read in my free time but a lot of possibilities are constrained by infrastructure and society it's basically just liberalism to think otherwise

Some of these are appropriate response to reactionary tendencies
war (good news)

Meanwhile, major media in Sweden claimed that the town Hajin, the current claimed "capital city" of the reactionary theocratic terror-group ISIL has been fully liberated by the YPG/YPJ forces, a part of the SDF alliance.

violent repression of demo
The people protested against corruption and demand jobs and better public services.
The police shot at them with live ammunition.
