How War Centralizes the Power of the State | Guest: News Fist | 9/28/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
News Fist returns as we wrap up our reading of "Collective Violence, Contentious Politics, and Social Change" by Charles Tilly.

Is Government Just a Legal Protection Racket? | Guest: News Fist | 9/21/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every functioning government provides physical protection while demanding money in the form of taxes. The state will send armed men to lock you up if you do not pay. Does that mean that governments are nothing but a glorified protection racket?
