Security and reparations read constructively become freedom-building worldmaking projects.

Evidence

How should we think of security? Not as the property of the terror-fueled surveillance agency, but as fundamentally inhering in “basic material needs such as food, water, shelter, healthcare and protection from violence” and therefore “one of freedom’s most important building blocks.” How should we think of reparations? Not as penalty for past injustice, but as “a worldmaking project,” steered by a “constructive view … geared more toward collective needs than toward accumulation.” — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 366
