I am in NC and can only hope that leftists start getting extra extra stocked up and strapped up. If a real new Civil War 3 (I stand with the idea that the Blair Mountain suppression of workers counts as CW2), then it would be a real good time to make autonomous socialist zones. Maybe even a mix of various systems (anarchist/socialist/communist) that agree to work together based on which seems to have the most support in that area. Lot of space to try lots of things. But this is all just a thought experiment without real idea about anything past that. ...Also parody. lol

Imagine American leftists actually existing as some kind of organized force rage-cry

Can you recommend any good books that cover Blair Mountain?

[-] dRLY@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately I don't have any books to share. Though I do have a two-part podcast episode that is how I first heard about it from "Behind the Bastards". Below are the links to their iheartradio pages, but the feed should be on most big podcast app searches or via the RSS feed.
