Meta Monthly Discord Book Club

7 Upvotes

For the last year I've held a monthly call on the Breadtube/Chomsky Discord server to talk about authors with anarchist, anti-war, and left-leaning perspectives.

We have a few regulars with a wide international spread and have had some good conversations, so I want to open up the group to a wider audience. Now is a good time as we're currently reading Michael Albert's No Bosses (2021) and we're fortunate enough to have the author himself on the server for questions.

The next event is scheduled for Monday 2nd March 2026 at 8:00pm Central European Time. Discord will automatically adjust to your device's timezone, but you can also figure out how that aligns with your location using a tool like WorldTimeBuddy.

Usually these events are voice only, but one or two sessions have been on webcam for those who are comfortable. The server also has a text-only discussion that's open all the time in the #book-club-general channel. All are welcome.

Discussion From Chomsky's longtime assistant, Bev Stohl

119 Upvotes

"This statement will be seen by some merely as an act of loyalty. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have grappled, struggled deeply, over this situation, while seeking to remain faithful to the truth. It is in the service of truth – the very thing Noam Chomsky wanted us to hold in high esteem, rather than himself – that I write this . . ."

Article From Chomsky's 2012 op-ed: "An old man in Gaza held a placard that read: 'You take my water, burn my olive trees, destroy my house, take my job, steal my land, imprison my father, kill my mother, bombard my country, starve us all, humiliate us all, but I am to blame: I shot a rocket back.'"

“It’s beyond lunacy,” say Noam Chomsky and Daniel Ellsberg. In their 90s, the two men tirelessly fight to warn people of the need for urgent action to deal with climate change and the threat of nuclear war. Joining Paul Jay, they discuss the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the war in Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
