Angela Davis, born on this day in 1944, is a Marxist and feminist activist, prison abolitionist, philosopher, and educator. She is a professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Ideologically a Marxist, Davis was a member of the Communist Party USA until 1991, after which she joined the breakaway "Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism". She is the author of over ten books, covering topics such as class, feminism, and the U.S. prison system.
Born to an African American family in Birmingham, Alabama, Davis studied French at Brandeis University and philosophy at the University of Frankfurt in West Germany. Back in the U.S., she joined the Communist Party and, as a Marxist feminist, involved herself in a range of leftist causes, including the second-wave feminist movement, the Black Panther Party, and the campaign against the Vietnam War.
In 1970, UCLA's governing Board of Regents soon fired her due to her Communist Party membership; after a court ruled this illegal, the university fired her again, this time for her use of inflammatory language.
Praised by many Marxists and others on the left, Davis has received various awards, including the Lenin Peace Prize. Davis has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Davis was Time magazine's "Woman of the Year" for 1971 in its 2020 "100 Women of the Year" edition.
"I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept."
- Angela Davis

damn... /r/antiwork destroyed by one shitty interview. ahh well... someone start an actual labor rights sub now.
After the mod team went wild anti "tankie" it was a matter of time they showed off how terminally online they were.
I genuinely worry for the mod though, that is a massively public and colossal fuck up
When the host tried to get them into a gotcha over being a dog walker working 20 hours a week, they should have said what's wrong with that? Why do you hate working class people, isn't that who this channel is for? Then call them bourgeois who are wholly divorced from the proletariat, okay maybe don't go that far because those are fancy words for boomers.
yeah the whole thing was a disaster. feel bad for that mod, but they should have known what they were getting into.
Went about what I would expect, but we're pretending like boomers even give a shit about what they had to say in the first place, they don't, they just want the host to tell them what to think.

For real, if you're going to tank the interview at least say "at least I don't pretend to look pretty and be a vapid airhead on tv all day to my legions of boomers clapping like trained seals".

What happened? :meow-popcorn: I haven't really been following that sub since I got banned for "tankies bad"
Apparently a mod of it went into a hostile interview with fox and did not make a good showing
Lol that checks out. Do we know if it was one of the definitely-a-fed mods or was it one of the ostensibly-anarchist ones?
:same-picture:
r/workersstrikeback
I don’t get why are they acting like the end of the world, of course they’ll be smeared, they should unite instead of dicking their own :deeper-sadness:
antiwork isn't collectivist, it isn't what it should be, and will only serve to undermine labor rights because of shit like this though.
the people in there who are about labor rights are right to be pissed. this is a reddit mod who took shit into their own hands and went on fox news and made them all look like a bunch of lazy assholes, after their community collectively agreed that they should not do any kind of press interviews, especially with fox news.
If they are not collectivist, they are already boned, so again - interview is irrelevant
