The legend of the late anarchist healer, thinker, and gentleman shit-disturber David Graeber grows … in the runup to the release of his new (posthumous) book, The Dawn of Everything, written with archaeologist David Wengrow.
What rises to the top of many of the profiles of Graeber’s life and work is his influence on the debt forgiveness movement — which came out of Occupy Wall Street.
Here’s a beta video for the Strike Debt initiative. The idea is that nonprofits buy up personal debt for pennies on the dollar, pay it off, then inform the folks who are facing eviction/foreclosure etc that now they are free.
Voiceover by Graeber. And that’s David under one of those balaclavas — ever the firestarter.
