^NOTES

1. “The projects of ‘fugitive planning and black study’ are mostly about reaching out to and connection” ^{Jack Halberstam}
The plan is to invent the means in a common experiment launched from any kitchen, any back porch, any basement, any hall, any park bench, any improvised party, every night [...] Planners need vision [...] Planning is self-sufficiency at the social level, and it reproduces in its experiment not just what it needs, life, but what it wants, life in di erence, in the play of the general antagonism [...] It is crucial that planners choose to participate. Policy is a mass e ort. Intellectuals will write articles in the newspapers, philosophers will hold conferences on new utopias, bloggers will de- bate, and politicians will compromise here, where change is policy’s only constant. Participating in change is the second rule of policy. ^{Stefano Harney and Fred Moten}

2. Consider the fate of Malcolm X’s OAAU, Martin’s Poor People’s Campaign, the Black Panther Party Survival Programs, Freedom Farm Cooperative, Floyd McKissick’s Soul City, etc.

3. Blackness as “a way of being in the world that evades regulation.” Fred Moten

4. White Monopoly Capital is a South African phrase used in contemporary political discourse to describe the continued economic dominance of White South Africans in post-Apartheid South Africa in every sphere of the economy. We see monopoly capital as a form of state capture, on a global level, utilizing practices of corporate communism to create this state of runaway inequality.
