great suggestions in here
I’ve think I’ve heard her interviews on a few podcasts. Is her premise the militias mentioned in the 2A weren’t for protecting citizens against a tyrannical government, but to protect land owners from slave revolts?Just finished. Good book.
Yeah thats one of her her main assertions. That the right to form "well regulated militias" in the 2nd amendment was basically put in to appease southern states to protect from slave revolts. She goes into greater details about militia acts and basically measures that have been used to keep us from being armed. I really liked reading about how much fear the Haitian revolution instilled in them, and how much it shaped a lot of decisions. Its def worth checking out breh.

I'ma check this one out.
If you liked that book, add Force & Freedom by Kelly Carter Jackson. She argues black abolitionist used tactical violence for freedom, despite the abolitionist movement being categorized as non-violent.
Just started reading The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by. David Graeber & David Wengrow.
Easily one of, if not, *the* best book I've read this year.
Truly: every single chapter of the book is going to change how you look at the world around you, the Eurocentric history you've been taught, and even of radical critiques of representative democracy, colonialism, capitalism, and history.
RIP to David Graeber, who already produced truly fantastic books like Debt: The First 5000 Years and Bullshyt Jobs; I may put some of the updates as I read the book either in this thread (which doesn't appear to be that active) or in another thread on its own.
I highly recommend everyone read this book. The AEI and Cato Institute are already trying to run hit pieces on it

I guess Nat Turner doesn't count as tactical?
He does, but her book is mostly about how we associate the abolitionist movement with non-violence despite the fact they did have battles against slavery.
