Let’s collectively remember John Ross, a “relentless political and literary experimenter” with revolutionary tendencies.
Best known for his book Murdered by Capitalism and his coverage of the Zapatistas movement in Mexico, where he spent a significant portion of his life, Ross wandered the globe from San Francisco to Peru to Iraq, documenting his insurrectionist journeys. One of his last requests? To have his family mix his ashes “with marijuana and have them rolled into a spliff to be smoked at his funeral.”
