Now shipping! In this ALA Editions Special Report, technology expert Robin Hastings highlights the first attempts of libraries across the country to set up policies for the use of AI in their organizations, as well as policies created by cities and other similar institutions, to guide stakeholders in creating their own smart, forward-thinking course of action. https://alastore.ala.org/genaipol

I support #EmilyDrabinski and think she will be a great #AmericanLibraryAssociation (#ALA) president. Right now she's under a ton of fire for being a self-professed "#Marxist lesbian."

There is an open letter in support of her. It is widely circulating. It declares "Marxism is an economic philosophy not a political platform."

As a marxist and librarian myself, I will not sign anything with such a declaration.

Marxism is not just an "economic philosophy."

Yes, reordering the economic basis of society is the ultimate goal, but politics is the starting point for that. You cannot destroy private property and exploitation without organizing the class, destroying the capitalist state, and holding down the old oppressing class with force and violence. Marx was clear about this from early on:

"All revolution -- the overthrow of the existing ruling power and the dissolution of the old order -- is a political act. But without revolution, socialism cannot be made possible. It stands in need of this political act just as it stands in need of destruction and dissolution. But as soon as its organizing functions begin and its goal, its soul emerges, socialism throws its political mask aside." - Marx, 'Critical Notes on the Article "The King of Prussia and Social Reform" By a Prussian'
