But it misses some key aspects of what makes the movement distinctive, and distinct from London's municipal socialism.
So hereās a thread on municipalism...
"Politically, socialist municipalism is fundamentally different than the elitist, real-estate-allied stance toward urban development that has come to be known as \u2018urbanism'."@owenhatherley's Red Metropolis reviewed by @davidjmadden for @jacobinmag. \U0001f3d7\ufe0f https://t.co/yF5IZa0FmD

Municipalism is not simply āa political stance as well as an approach to shaping the built environmentā (as @davidjmadden puts it) ā itās a distinctive strategic approach to democratising the local state and transforming urban economies using urban spaces as a platformā¦
1/
Municipalism adopts a ādual powerā strategy: 1) supporting commons and practices of commoning through which a more democratic, cooperative (and potentially prefiguratively postcapitalist) āsolidarity economyā can be instituted;
2/
...and 2) seeking to take hold of the political institutions of the local state through mobilising social movements for winning electoral office, to reimagine and transform the state from within, through guerrilla occupation of bureaucracies, in order to support 1) above.
3/
Means and ends are intertwined in a prefigurative politics that āfeminisesā the stateās decision-making processes and subverts technocratic managerialism in favour of 'collective theory-building' and open-source, crowdsourced deliberative-democratic policy-making.

First-time GOP Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert might not have been among the fanatics who stormed the Capitol on January 6, but their views very much make them fanatics within that same building.https://t.co/lrDeHmNNgf

This wasn't even Sources Say, this was I am such an insider that I have seen this thing and *pearl clutch* if only I could tell you but trust me. My response was publish it then. If it is so explosive and so important, publish it. If it is that important, let me see it.
Cut to January, 2017 and Buzzfeed publishing the Steele fanfic I mean dossier and there it was. That was what Our Super Duper Ultra Connected Insiders meant and, apparently, believed to their hearts that it was true. Trump was being run by Russia! Russia Russia Russia!
As I stated then and as I continue to state, it is my firm belief that the goal with the dossier and all the related spying upon Trump was to charge Trump with treason after Trump lost in 2016. And by treason I mean actual treason. I mean Trump is a spy and being run by Russia.
Trump has been run by Russia since the 1980s has been going around the Left wing internet circles for ages. This is not a new charge. Look at the rhetoric used by Hillary Clinton to this day about Trump and Russia. The goal was a treason charge. Pour encourager and all that.
