Krist reflects on Seattle WTO protests, 9/11 and their affect on civil liberties
In his latest blog post, Krist reflects on the anarchist pamphlet You Can’t Blow Up A Social Relationship published in 1979 that notes violence and social disobedience only invites authorities to constrict civil liberties.

Specifically, Krist identifies and elaborates on two events that exemplify the teachings from the pamphlet: the 1999 Seattle WTO protests and 9/11.
