Common Sense with Dan Carlin (It's a hard recipe to master, but when passion and reason are finely blended the results can be unpredictable and intoxicating. They can also be maddening. This is part of the attraction of Dan Carlin. Original and outside-the-box thinking on current events and history to be sure, but could he also be woefully out of step with conventional wisdom? He talks fast, he's loud, he's a deep thinker who adores history and who will challenge your view of the world, while he does the same thing to himself. He's a bit of a throwback to something from the past, and yet not quite like anything else yet seen. It's a New Media/ “eye of the beholder” sort of thing. You'll have to decide for yourself. His style is not for everyone. It's not meant to be.)

Institute for Anarchist Studies ["Anarchism emerged out of the socialist movement as a distinct politics in the nineteenth century. It asserted that it is necessary and possible to overthrow coercive and exploitative social relationships, and replace them with egalitarian, self-managed, and cooperative social forms. Anarchism thus gave new depth to the long struggle for freedom. The primary concern of the classical anarchists was opposition to the state and capitalism. This was complemented by a politics of voluntarily association, mutual aid, and decentralization. Since the turn of the twentieth century and especially the 1960s, the anarchist critique has widened into a more generalized condemnation of domination and hierarchy. This has made it possible to understand and challenge a variety of social relationships -- such as patriarchy, racism, and the devastation of nature, to mention a few -- while confronting political and economic hierarchies. Given this, the ideal of a free society expanded to include sexual liberation, cultural diversity, and ecological harmony, as well as directly democratic institutions. Anarchism's great refusal of all forms of domination renders it historically flexible, politically comprehensive, and consistently critical -- as evidenced by its resurgence in today's global anticapitalist movement. Still, anarchism has yet to acquire the rigor and complexity needed to comprehend and transform the present. The Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS), a nonprofit foundation established in 1996 to support the development of anarchism, is a grant-giving organization for radical writers and translators worldwide. To date, we have funded some sixty projects by authors from countries around the world, including Argentina, Lebanon, Canada, Chile, Ireland, Nigeria, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. We also publish the online journal Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, organize the annual Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference, and offer the Mutual Aid Speakers List. The IAS is part of a larger movement to radically transform society as well. We are internally democratic and work in solidarity with people around the globe who share our values."]

"Our Managed Democracy." TruthDig (May 15, 2008)
Kentuckians for the Commonwealth ["KFTC has always articulated our theory or belief about what it will take to make systemic, lasting change through our description of the Goals of Organizing. These goals and their descriptions have grown over our history as our understanding and analysis have grown. It is important to remember that each goal influences and is influenced by the other eight. None stand effectively alone and they do not follow one another, but work as a system designed to create and hold fundamental change. KFTC strives to advance these goals through our strategies and model them as an organization. Help people participate – We have always believed that for a democracy to flourish, all people must be active and participate. A basic premise of our work is that all of us have a right and responsibility to participate in the decisions and process of our self-government. Empower individuals — We develop citizens into community leaders, helping people develop the skills to participate effectively! Members are urged to try new experiences, learn new skills and celebrate their growth and achievements. We teach leadership and organizing skills, and then give people the chance to practice these skills in a variety of ways. Overcome racism and other forms of discrimination – We have learned that the existence and exercise of oppression of any person or community creates the divisions and barriers that keep all of us from realizing our finest hopes and vision. We work to overcome the discrimination that creates and sustains these divisions in our society, our organization, and ourselves. Foster democratic values—We believe that all people are created equal, everyone deserves respect and equal opportunities. Kentuckians For The Commonwealth is shaped, directed and run by its membership. Our organization endeavors to become a model of the type of democracy we are working for in society. Challenge and change unjust institutions—Our members want to create a shared balance of power and equal enjoyment of benefits within our political, economic and social systems. We identify and tackle the root causes of social, political, and economic problems to create long-term, systemic change. Build organizations—We make sure that time and attention are given to building local community groups as well as the statewide group. We believe that strong organizations, founded on and adhering to strong principles, make it possible to achieve these other goals. Communicate a message of what is possible, shift our worldview – to have a better community, we must work for a better community. To work for a better community, we must believe a better community is possible. All of us are influenced by the messages that surround us every day. We work to develop and communicate new messages of what is possible on a large and small scale. Win issues that affect the common welfare—People want to give energy to an organization that deals with real concerns and shows tangible results. The issues that we tackle are chosen, actively addressed and solved by the membership. Have fun—KFTC is living proof that hard work is not all drudgery. We take the time to celebrate large and small victories, and publicly recognize individual and group achievements."]

On the Media ["On the Media explores how the media 'sausage' is made, casts an incisive eye on fluctuations in the marketplace of ideas, and examines threats to the freedom of information and expression in America and abroad. For one hour a week, the show tries to lift the veil from the process of "making media," especially news media, because it's through that lens that we literally see the world and the world sees us. While maintaining the civility and fairness that are the hallmarks of public radio, OTM tackles sticky issues with a frankness and transparency that has built trust with listeners and led to more than a tripling of its audience in five years."]
