From "Ecology and Revolutionary Thought" - Lewis Herber (Murray Bookchin)
"If the meshing of ecological and anarchist principles is ever achieved in practice, social life would yield a sensitive development of human and natural diversity, falling together into a well-balanced, harmonious unity. Ranging from community through region to entire continents, we would see a colorful differentiation of human groups and ecosystems, each developing its unique potentialities and exposing members of the community to a wide spectrum of economic, cultural, and behavioral stimuli. Falling within our purview would be an exciting, often dramatic, variety of communal forms — here marked by architectural and industrial adaptations to semiarid biomes, there to grasslands, elsewhere by adaptation to forested areas...

Remember Omar Aziz: Reviewing The Syrian Revolution Reader
Since the so-called “End of History,” (at the very least), many people (especially those who look like me) on Turtle Island have been living in a general state of “colonial unknowing” and a fake sense that their immediate world is extraordinary safe and peaceful (at least domestically). I have a hunch that this bubble of willful ignorance is popping (or at least, shrinking). From Land and Water Defenders shutting down “Canada” in 2019 and 2020, to the Black Lives Matter […]https://kostyn.ca/remember-omar-aziz-reviewing-the-syrian-revolution-reader/

Some critiques of horizontality/non-hierarchy are basically: "horizontality/non-hierarchy+ABC bad things or minus XYZ good things = some less than good/effective thing." But that's an issue of the absence of XYZ good things / the presence of ABC bad things-- not horizontality
The same could be said of many critiques of direct democracy (direct collective decision making). Direct democracy+ABC bad things or minus XYZ good things is unsurprisingly not as ethical/effective as Direct democracy + XYZ good things and minus ABC bad things.
It is when there is a gestalt of multiple liberatory processes/practices/goals that various necessary but insufficient features for liberatory organizing can meaningfully thrive and mutually qualify each other.

Conflagration In Haldwani Was Preceded By A Spate Of Demolitions & The Steady Demonisation Of Muslims
Before fury over the demolition of a mosque and madrasa In Uttarakhand’s Haldwani city on 8 February led to the death of five Muslims and injuries to about 100 police, a pressure-cooker situation had built up in the state. More than 400 Muslim shrines and properties were demolished in 2023 and attacks, Islamophobic speech—including from the chief minister—and calls for the state to be cleansed of Muslims were rife. Article 14 found riot-hit families alleging police brutality, arbitrary detentions and no idea about how to get legal help.
