Guerrillas of desire

This is a thesis and reads like one. So if you have an aversion to how academia ruins people's writing, as I do, you'll have to get over that part. That said, it is a good quick overview of the history of capitalism and resistance to it (with a US bend). I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that people resist all the time in many ways and not primarily as part of identified movements. I like the idea of defining people by their resistance rather than what kind of work they do or don't or whether or not they fancy themselves some kind of activist. I love the parts about how nonprofits, unions, and other official movements have been blocks. My main criticism would be that, while this book is strong on what resistance really is, it leaves you hanging when he starts to think about what that means for how we organize. Maybe instead of trying to redefine "organizing" it would be better to dump the idea altogether. I hope there is a sequel that is much less academic and focuses on what it really means to the idea of organizing if people are resisting all the time and don't even necessarily need coordinators, much less leaders.
