one based on communal lands, recuperation of indigenous
culture, gender equality, cooperative self-defense,
organic agriculture, and food, shelter, health and education for
all. This historic project to build Zapatista Autonomous Good
Governance — separate from the Mexican state and the capitalist
market — has engaged hundreds of indigenous communities
across Mexico’s Chiapas province, which stretches across terrain
the size of Rhode Island, from mountain rain forests to pastoral
valleys to lowland jungle. This Zapatista model of Autonomous
Governance has slowly emerged as a beacon of hope across the
hemisphere, and stands in stark contrast to the horrors offered
by low-waged maquiladora development, the narco-economy,
the brutalism of Latin American urban life and the US/UN neoliberal
model exemplified by the military occupation of Haiti....Precarious Communism

Precarious Communism
Manifest Mutations, Manifesto Detourned
Richard Gilman-OpalskyHow does one demonstrate the enduring relevance of a sacred text but to help it speak to present times? This is what churches do with the Bible and what Marxists do with the writings of Marx. Richard Gilman-Opalsky offers a book-length détournement of The Communist Manifesto as a loving blasphemy, as a grateful revolt, both for and against the original text. Gilman-Opalsky detourns the 1848 manifesto as an exploration of its ongoing applicability, as well as its failures, in relation to capitalism and its evolving crises. Precarious Communism explores long-form détournement as a tool for critical theory. But most importantly, Gilman-Opalsky’s new book is a mutant manifesto of its own that makes the case for an autonomist and millennial Marxism, for the many movements of precarious communism.

Carl Watson
“The esoteric and the exoteric co-exist in a B-Movie carnival of noir nocturnes where mortality is pondered and meaning is plumbed in wry and witty vignettes. Black humor laced with Victorian secrets, the clever conceits and cunning confessions of this Shakespearian steam-punk auteur will have you writhing with pleasure as he articulates his plight. Like Virgil, the venerable Carl Watson takes us on a mystical, mythical tour. Here, hope has been replaced by a sophisticated synthesis of emotions — of despair and delight — in what can only be called a triumph of style.’’—Jeffrey Cyphers Wright, author of Triple Crown: Three Crowns of Sonnets. Employment of the Apes and editor/publisher of Live Mag!“Carl Watson is a Steampunk Baudelaire, his genius a Last Exit To Nowhere Existentialism of sinisterly exotic thoughts. Both behind and ahead of his time; a futuristic-classicist, Watson’s richly reposited and rescued English language butchers Corporate Clone-Speak , and reveals to us an Adamic namer-poet-seer of the cruelest nightmares slouching our way to be born .”—Alan Kaufman,...
