Commune Magazine, a flashy and professional looking
2020-05-17
[National-Justice] Commune Magazine, a flashy and professional looking "antifa" publication that sought to provide intellectual direction to the anarchist movement, announced yesterday that it would discontinue its operations and refund all its subscribers.

The catalyst for this decision were allegations that an unnamed editor had raped another left-wing activist. A source familiar with the matter has confirmed to National Justice that the alleged rapist is Shyam P. Khanna, a 31-year-old anarchist organizer based in Brooklyn.
Male feminist accused of rape. Where have I heard that one before?
According to a March 28 Medium post by Jessica "Leila" Raven, Khanna had been abusing her and then committed a rape against her. Raven then confronted him, demanded an apology and asked him to read four feminist essays. After Khanna agreed to read the articles, he raped her again, the accuser says.
I highly recommend clicking through and reading the open letter. The woman is clearly batshit crazy. Sample text: "You asked me many times: "Why me? Why do you keep coming back?" I told you that I was listening to my body, and my body was hooked. I didn’t know then, but I know now, that when post-traumatic stress disorder is activated, it can feel a lot like being turned on."
A second post, dated May 7th, repeats the allegations and details a prolonged campaign to have him removed from Commune Mag's staff.
Good thing she's accusing an antifa member and not Joe Biden.
Khanna appears to be heavily involved with the "antifa" scene in New York City. On social media, his now deleted account @dollarpizza1 can be seen repeatedly interacting with Jamie Peck of the Antifada podcast as well as Doug Henwood, a wealthy anti-white figure who has been accused of predatory and strange sexual behavior himself.
Always with the pizza, these people.
While Commune Mag has been canceled, it appears that two editors accused of protecting him, UC Davis professor Joshua Clover and Berkeley's Jasper Bernes, are going to continue their similarly named anarchist poetry project Commune Editions in spite of demands that they shut it down as well.

#4  "Commune Magazine" sounds very leftist and communist.

#3  Some people were just made for each other. The question is how to get them all off-planet so the rest of us can get on with our lives.

Sounds charming. I'd suppose he initiated physical contact with the minute hand at the bottom of the hour indicated the spotted warbler dance instead of the top of the hour recite EE Cummings while chain flagellating. Obviously, these rituals are while Umbriel is hidden behind Uranus.

#1  Well, I'm not very good at this new game.

I'm down 2$ this morning. This one and exploding LA buildings, I was sure they were the Bee.
