Index of My Writing
This page is going to be an index of my writing organized into topics. It will include most of what I’ve written that I think are worth re-referncing. Still, I may leave some things out if I don’t think they’re especially important to include for any number of reasons. This will be a constant work-in-progress. In the future, this may be split between an index and curated, purpose-built reading lists.
Curated Lists
War Without Bloodshed
A series of short articles intended for group discussion within political collectives that help teach operational art by introducing operational frameworks taken from the realm of armed conflict that can be usefully applied to unarmed political struggle. The theoretical basis of this is a duality between warfare and politics as particular sub-domains of the more general domain of human conflict.
- 1: A Series Introduction (covers the operations level of conflict and operational art)
- 2: The Trichotomy of Operation Types
- 3: Power as “Freedom of Action”
- 4: Instruments of Power and Domains of Political Action
War Without Bloodshed: Related Articles
- The Trichotomy of Operation Types in Organizing (original, extended version of article 2 written before the series; also contains a brief introduction to John Boyd and an explanation of warfare-politics duality)
- All Political Power Grows Out of the Barrel of a Dilemma (an article written a couple years ago about the concept of “dilemmas”; a spiritual successor to the series)
Starting Out
A curated list of articles, in rough order, that I think are the best place to work through for people who are not yet politically active or people who have gone to protests or done activist work but have little to no experience organizing people.

- What is a Contradiction?*
*This piece takes a non-standard approach to defining materialism through “causal closure” that I believe is theoretically in line with dialectical materialism but is at odds with how Marxist materialism is traditionally taught. I have reasons for this decision based on the sorts of idealist mistakes I see people make most often but this caveat should be understood until I get to a point where I rewrite this piece to be clearer on this.
