p Over the past ten years, many squats across Italy have begun opening self-organized sports centres, offering mostly (but not exclusively) combat disciplines and promoting anti-fascist values alongside a non-commercial training philosophy.

p Politics has never been far from the surface in the world of combat sports. Whether we think of the boxer Primo Carnera, an icon of fascism in the 1930s, or Muhammad Ali, an icon of black power in the 1960s. Or of the predominance of Jews in East London’s boxing clubs before and immediately after World War 2, often using their training against Mosley’s British Union of Fascists. /p

pemtroploin/em stands at a turning point. We owe it as much to us as to our friends and readers to assess what we have been trying to do for the past twelve years. While emtroploin/em remains a common project of Karl Nesic and Gilles Dauvé, they have preferred to assess the situation separately.

The litany of natural stuffs - petroleum, natural gas, uranium, coal, wood, water, sunlight - apprehension about their limits, joy in their abundance, skepticism about their benefits, pass for the bulk of analyses of the energy crisis that we face.
