00:30—Good night #Fediverse! 😴💤
I added two new books to my collection of anarchist works this December. The first is by the Norwegian anarchist Hans Jæger, titled "Anarkiets Bibel", and the second is Cindy Milstein’s "Anarchism and Its Aspirations".

Myths About Anarchism, Democracy, and Decision-Making
#Anarchism

I've been working on a bit of a larger project. It is still very much a work in progress. It's an attempt to combine blog and mastodon posts with other things I've written in the past, along with some original analysis, into a zine. I'm probably about 2/3 of the way through.
It's primarily focused on political theory and critique, which, I think, deviates a bit from how a lot of other folks view the world. It's pretty explicitly anarchist, though I don't think I've actually put the word "anarchism" or referenced the ideology anywhere so explicitly.
I'd love feedback (especially around editing and flow) if anyone would be willing to put eyes on it and tell me what they think:

@… just FYI this kind of thoughtful thread on anarchism is exactly the kind of thing people would miss if you weren't on here. Please feel free to tell me to shut up and go away if my engagement is unwanted or feels like a burden, but I hope you're in a better headspace now than earlier. You're valuable and worthy as a person regardless of what you post here, but this is something I can point to concretely and say "I appreciate that" so that the beginning of this long sentence isn't just a platitude. ^.^;

Anarchism was born in a moral revolt against social injustice.

Some people, without naming names, is deliberately trying to make me think anarchism is wrong or equivalent to terrorism, as if I’m too naïve to know better.

For those interested in learning more about the Galleanisti, it's worth digging in to understand the context, IMHO. Like I said, I think that insurrectionary anarchism is generally a pretty bad strategy. I have quite a few critiques, that I won't go into now. But I also think it's worth understanding that part of history and how it all came together.

Having begun reading "Post-Scarcity Anarchism" by Murray Bookchin, I might add it to my "Entry to Left-Wing Anarchist Reading" doc.

I've had a few of these thoughts stuck in my craw all day because I watched this liberal historian talk about the Galleanisti.
https://youtube.com/shorts/93yHEn8BYE4
Basically, she says that "of course the government had the right to target them." Then she goes on to talk about how it became an excuse to carry out a bunch of attacks on other marginalized people. Now, the Galleanisti had been bombing the houses of politicians and such. I get where she's coming from saying that one of their targets "was in the right" to try to catch them. But there's some context she's not talking about at all.
These were Italian anarchists, so they were not white and they were part of an already marginalized political group. Basically all of Europe and the US was trying to wipe out anarchists at the time. Meanwhile, the sitting president at the time showed the first movie in the White House. That movie was KKK propaganda, in which he was favorably quoted. The US was pretty solidly white supremacist in the 1920's.
Like... A major hidden whole premise of the game "Bioshock: Infinite" is that if you went back to the US in the 1920's, and you had magic powers, you would absolutely use them to kill as many cops as possible and try to destroy society. There's a lot of other stuff in there, I don't want to get distracted, but "fuck those racists," specifically referring to the US in the 1920's, was a major part of a major game.
Those Italian anarchists were also stone cutters. They carved grave stones. But the dust from that can kill you, much like black lung for coal miners. So they were dying from unsafe working conditions, regularly raising money to support dying coworkers and then carving gravestones for those same coworkers.
Now, I personally think insurrectionary anarchism is a dead end. I disagree with it as a strategy. We've seen it fail, and it failed there. But of course it makes sense that they wanted to blow up the government.
...And that's the correct way to structure that. When you say, "of course they were in the right" you're making a very clear political statement. You could easily say, "the cops in Vichy France had every right to hunt down the French Resistance." You would technically be correct, I guess. But it would really say something about your politics if you justified the actions of Nazi collaborators over those fighting against the Nazis.
And you may say, "oh, but the Nazis didn't have justification for anything. They invaded a sovereign nation, so their government wasn't legitimate anyway."
To which I would reply, "have you considered a history book about the US?"

Just because the educational work of Anarcho-Syndicalists is directed toward the development of independent thought and action, they are outspoken opponents of all centralising tendencies which are so characteristic of most of the present labour parties.
Centralism, that artificial scheme which operates from the top towards the bottom and turns over the affairs of administration to a small minority, is always attended by barren official routine; it crushes individual conviction, kills …

I couldn’t find a clear guide, so I put together my own “Entry to Left-Wing Anarchist Reading.”
Thought it might help others getting started on this path.

It’s not that I’m mad, it’s just frustrating when people tell me that everything I’ve read about anarchism is a lie and that what I believe isn’t real.
#Anarchism #Syndicalism #Socialism

I have always envisioned a union operating autonomously from capitalist structures, organized horizontally without hierarchical authority, embodying direct workers’ self-management and solidarity, aimed at dismantling hierarchical power and creating a society structured around the needs and capacities of people rather than profit.

From what I have read and continue to study, the transitional phase in anarcho-syndicalism involves the organized syndicates and unions acting as the foundational organs for the new society. These unions are democratically structured and federated at local, regional, national, and international levels. During the transition, they engage in direct action such as strikes and boycotts to challenge capitalist control, while simultaneously building the capacity for worker self-management.

Rudolf Rocker described anarcho-syndicalism as an economy rooted in local, autonomous unions, workers themselves organizing and coordinating production cooperatively, without bosses or capitalists.

"The idea of the council system is intimately intergrown with Socialism and is unthinkable without it; dictatorship, however, has nothing whatever in common with Socialism, and at best can only lead to the most barren of state capitalism."

I refuse to replace capitalist hierarchies with red-tinted authoritarianism, because in the end, I want liberation, not another power structure draped in red with the hammer and sickle.

Rocker explained that their "bond is one of free agreement between my wife and myself. It is a purely private matter that only concerns ourselves, and it needs no confirmation from the law." Witkop added: "Love is always free. When love ceases to be free it is prostitution."

The more I immerse myself in anarchist philosophy through works on The Anarchist Library and discussions on YouTube, the more clearly I come to despise capitalism as an exploitative system and all hierarchical power structures that perpetuate domination and inequality.
#Anarchism #Capitalism

If I’ve stopped lying, then you should too. But you can’t seem to stop twisting the truth about anarchism, using the dictionary as a weapon to bend reality toward your own system and agenda. That manipulation says more about your control than my beliefs.

Capitalism is the iron cage in which human potential withers, an economic despotism that breeds inequality, alienation, and the hollowing of community life.

I took down one of my Moomin posters and hung up my two favorite flags in my living room instead. It feels good making my own place look like me.
I know my mom doesn’t like it, but this is my apartment and I’m not going to hide who I am just to make someone else comfortable.
