Revolutionary salutations from the Felix Dzherzhinsky Workers Defence Collective!
Revolutionary salutations from the Felix Dzherzhinsky Workers Defence Collective. The purpose of the collective is to assist all of our comrades in achieving personal and community resilience in the 21st Century.
The title of the blog originates in the Scottish writer Ian Macleod’s science fiction novel The Star Fraction. Macleod was a Trotskyist back in the 1980’s but these days is more of a Libertarian anarcho-capitalist. In the book Macleod imagines a near future Balkanized anarcho-captialist Britain. In this future Moh Kohn works as a security mercenary for a private military contractor ironically named The Felix Dzerzhinsky Workers Defence Collective. A good review of the book “Anarchies, States, and Utopias: The science fiction of Ken MacLeod”, can be found on the Reason magazine website. For the record the historical Felix Dzerzhinsky was a truly evil man.
Some of the topics I plan to cover include open source intelligence, business continuity, disaster and emergency management, personal security, and environmental issues .
Once a week I will also keep my readers up to date on steps that can be taken to deal with the imminent threat of a zombie invasion. It is well documented in the press that governments, businesses and individuals are poorly prepared for zombie invasions. Business continuity issues in particular have been overlooked.
