Seasoned organizer and noided leftist River from River to Reality joins us to share their theoretical concept of organizational proprioception: just as our nervous systems need to communicate well with all parts of our bodies in order to experience all the parts of our bodies as our own and have control and feedback signals flow back and forth unimpeded through our nervous systems—incidentally, scientists are finding that body parts other than our brains can even store memories (maybe even participate in thought!), and the total state of the whole nervous system may be the minimum unit that we can call a conscious entity—in the same way, political organizations on the left, where transparency and trust are of the essence, must conduct audits of local organs with member-decided questions. The lack of organizational proprioception can and does lead to organizations being encapsulated and misdirected, as they are in the many proxy wars of national liquidation that form the basis of the emerging necro-capitalist world system today: gangs and counter-gangs like ISIS and YPG shredded Syria and broke the back of regional resistance to Zionist aggression, and one would hate to see, for example, a CIA-encapsulated leftist militia emerge to fight ICE but end up only running cover for further controlled demolition of society for the workers and colonized peoples of Turtle Island—speaking purely hypothetically.
