Direct action is the insistence, when faced with structures of unjust authority, on acting as if one is already free. From David Graeber, Direct Action: An Ethnography. The background is Graeber speaking from a position seated on the floor at the Maagdenhuis occupation at the University of Amsterdam in 2015.
Anthropologist, Occupy activist, and fellow worker David Graeber was born on this day in 1961. #DirectActionGetsTheGoods #OTD
