Thinking around what a radical geography 'must be'

Simon Springer's essay on 'Why a Radical Geography Must Be Anarchist' offers both a useful overview of anarchism's continued relevance to geography today and a lively provocation to relocate the political center of radical geography. In this response I think along with Springer about strategies for everyday revolution and point to many contributions that already dislodge 'traditional Marxian analysis' from the moral, methodological, and political high ground within radical geography. I explore some of the ways that insurrectionary geographies are being practiced and are informed by an eclectic mix of political and theoretical traditions, including anarchism as well as some versions of Marxism, but, more importantly are researching beyond the limits of both these political theories born of 19th-century conditions and concerns.
