Lived in Naples until aged two, my father working at the US Naval base in notorious Italian city. My only sibling, my younger brother, was born in Naples in 1984 (infuriatingly he refuses to take advantage of Italian citizenship!). In 1984, at the end of his Naples tour, my...

M, Rob | United States
Since 2000, I have been involved in left activist movements of various types. In 2001, I attended ZMI and had a wonderful experience. The majority of my focus has been on human rights work and opposition to U.S. imperialism in its various guises. I agree with the view put forth in the book Liberating Theory, that oppressions in various arenas, be they the economic system, the state, patriarchy,...
Snyder, Matthew | United States
Born from a rather schizophrenic upbringing (his father is Mormon/LDS and his mother was Jewish), Matthew grew up in the southeastern panhandle of Washington state.

Isaacs, Joel | United States
Living in Berkeley in the 70s I was part of a Situationist inspired radical group who wanted to put subjectivity and community back into the revolution. Skip forward. I read Zmag for 20 years. Six years ago I was reading Chomsky's Understanding Power. One morning I woke up frightened. I thought: "All those wild ideas I have about what's really going on in the world - they're all true!"...
