DESCRIPTION:The left has historically fought corporate and government censo
rs to ensure radical and revolutionary ideas can be freely shared under th
e banner of free speech. Recently\, fascists have begun using the same fre
e speech argument to support the spread of racism\, misogyny\, violence\,
and hatred both online and in real life. This has become especially true d
uring the heavy switch to online organizing during the COVID-19 crisis. Th
is mixes with an increasing dependence on corporate marketed software\, in
cluding web conferencing software like Zoom.
How do we fight back w
ithout compromising our own online organizing? What changes in our own mee
ting and conference culture need to be made? How do we avoid depending on
corporate definitions of political extremism which have historically targe
ted trans folx\, bogus political groupings such as "\;black separatist
extremists\,"\; and other movement allies?
