Instead, what I was watching was a complex, sophisticated film engaging in pure ideological violence, concluding with Django and his wife Broomhilda trotting off into their own taste of Black Utopia. I want to reflect on several revolutionary moments in this film that stuck out to me.]]> http://theactivist.org/blog/quentin-tarantino-commits-black-revolution-in-django-unchained-a-film-review/feed 4 http://theactivist.org/blog/the-longshoremen-strike-on-struggle-and-solidarity http://theactivist.org/blog/the-longshoremen-strike-on-struggle-and-solidarity#comments Fri, 28 Dec 2012 18:29:48 +0000 ydsblog http://theactivist.org/blog/?p=4729 http://theactivist.org/blog/the-longshoremen-strike-on-struggle-and-solidarity/feed 0 http://theactivist.org/blog/too-big-to-indict http://theactivist.org/blog/too-big-to-indict#comments Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:29:17 +0000 ydsblog http://theactivist.org/blog/?p=4714 http://theactivist.org/blog/too-big-to-indict/feed 1
