Online Talk for MIT Coalition Against Apartheid by Michael Albert, a radical political economist who was MIT student body president and a member of Students for a Democratic Society. In January 1970, he was expelled from MIT for his activism opposing the Vietnam War and the US military’s war research at MIT. He founded South End Press in 1977, and went on to publish the works of Noam Chomsky, bell hooks, Arundhati Roy, Howard Zinn, and Edward Said. In 1987, Albert founded Zeta, a magazine focused on libertarian and anarchist socialist thought which lives on in its current form as znetwork.org/. His books include Political Economy of Participatory Economics (1991), Remembering Tomorrow: From SDS to Life After Capitalism, A Memoir (2007), and Practical Utopia: Strategies for a Desirable Society (2017).

Michael Albert`s radicalization occurred during the 1960s. His political involvements, starting then and continuing to the present, have ranged from local, regional, and national organizing projects and campaigns to co-founding South End Press, Z Magazine, the Z Media Institute, and ZNet, and to working on all these projects, writing for various publications and publishers, giving public talks, etc. His personal interests, outside the political realm, focus on general science reading (with an emphasis on physics, math, and matters of evolution and cognitive science), computers, mystery and thriller/adventure novels, sea kayaking, and the more sedentary but no less challenging game of GO. Albert is the author of 21 books which include: No Bosses: A New Economy for a Better World; Fanfare for the Future; Remembering Tomorrow; Realizing Hope; and Parecon: Life After Capitalism. Michael is currently host of the podcast Revolution Z and is a Friend of ZNetwork.

Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.
