Redbubble’s just corporate print‑on‑demand junk, wasteful and bad for the planet, but at least I snagged some anarchist designs for myself.

Anarchism was born in a moral revolt against social injustice.
---- - Errico Malatesta - ----

Create sufficiently complex situations that they surpass the attenuation capacity of the governing system, and do so at a rate that is faster than the relaxation time of that governing system.

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.

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.

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?"

Rudolf Rocker’s writings remind me that holding fast to my own convictions, even when they’re unpopular, is an act of freedom itself.
His life shows me that resisting conformity and staying rooted in my own political beliefs isn’t just stubbornness, it’s a way of defending individuality and dignity against the weight of authority.

I live by the conviction that anarchism is not a fixed goal to be reached, nor a perfect order to be imposed upon life. Every system that claims finality becomes a prison, and every so‑called final solution turns into domination over human beings. Anarchism, for me, stands in opposition to this tendency, it is the refusal to accept limits set by authority, dogma, or any power that seeks to bind the living stream of human development.
To me, anarchism is not the end of history, but the …

#HotTake:
Liberalism is a syncretic religion where the highest deity is the State and all other deities are subject to it. Liberalism asserts this distinction by classifying political systems as deriving from "natural law" and religions as faith systems. Classical liberalism divided the world into "primitive" beliefs and "enlightened" beliefs. Atheistic anarchism aligns with this distinction by opposing the state and capitalism through logic, rather than asserting that the state and capitalism are themselves systems of faith. Atheistic anarchism further reinforces the narrative of the liberal state by aligning with the liberal understanding of religion as a "primitive" institution.
Graeber et al pointed out the connections between property rights as a form of fedishism (magic) and the evolution of currency, debt, taxes, and the state from temples.

Why should I care about electing representatives when my immediate community faces urgent material and social needs that require direct, collective action and self-management?

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

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.

Like David Graeber said, the biggest weapon they have is crushing our imagination, making it easier to picture the end of the world than the end of oppressive systems.

You wait for the elections to roll around, even though things are urgent. You vote, then you wait to see who is elected, then you wait for them to come into office, then you hope that they will pass the laws that you want. If things don’t work out, you wait for the next election, and repeat the process.
