This is a very useful report and analysis of the ongoing pandemic in North America, it's impact on the economy, the role of the state, working class social conditions and organised resistance, against the background of the preceding 2008 global financial crisis, some aspects of which will be recognisable to those of us in the UK but with important differences.

What did you think was
What did you think was worthwhile about that "Long Live Revolt" one? To me it seemed like an attempt to shoehorn Left Communist Critique of Antifascism 101 into a situation where it really doesn't have any relevance. I would plug this as being really worth reading, one of the best things I've seen on recent developments: https://libcom.org/news/counterinsurgency-dousing-flames-minneapolis-05062020
The links both ideologically
The links both ideologically and organisationally with the problems of racism and inequality more broadly to the concept of 'democracy' or it's lack including specific political links with the USA Democrats is presumably still relevant. The text I refer to above does distinguish between a more modern day 'antifascism' and it's specific historical form in the past. It doesn't detract from other insights elsewhere in the process.
Edit: This then maybe more relevant coverage which got passed over when I linked it on the longer thread about 'international protests' here;

And this deserves another
And this deserves another mention here before it gets passed over on the other 'international protests' thread:
