Thanks for this and for all your writings, Peter. Receiving a new email from your substack is always a boost for me.
I'm drawn to your thinking around counterinsurgency. I've spent a lot of time sitting with that topic over the last few months as I conceptualize, write about, and organize around the counterinsurgent aspects of state-sponsored restorative justice programs/prison reforms where I live. Have you read/listened to Dylan Rodriguez on counterinsurgency? I've found his thinking to be especially insightful and clarifying. If you haven't and are curious, here are a few resources I've appreciated.
I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for your encouragement and thanks for these sources! I'll try to find the time to take a deeper dive into Rodriguez over this next week
