Uncivilized Podcast 26--Indigenous Autonomy, Continued

From YouTube

Melatha returns! Artxmis and Melatha talk what happened to the OIA, Indigenous Autonomism, the First Nations Union, how it all relates to green anarchy/anarcho-primitivism, and more. Much of the episode is based on “guiding” listeners through the FNU website, so we suggest following the website with the audio in background.

Red In Pen & Claw: The Meanest Reviews of Green Anarchy

Red In Pen & Claw
The Meanest Reviews of Green Anarchy
Now Available!

“They’ve come down from those Kalikak hills, those hills with eyes, to bring forth critiques of anarchist orthodoxy. They bring forth anarch heterodoxy, spitting primal rage. These are the meanest reviews from Green Anarchy, from 2002 through 2008. They were calling you out on your bullshit twenty years before you adopted your AI designed NPC ideology. So travel back in time, to first blood lust against bad actors.” - Red In Pen & Claw

Earth First! Winter Moot, Feb 10-12

Respect existence or expect resistance!

You are warmly invited to join us at the 2023 Earth First! winter moot!
https://www.earthfirst.uk/

What on (middle) earth is a moot?!? The moot is a chance to get together during the cold winter months to warm our hearts and put fire in our bellies. It’s a time to reflect on what’s going on in the radical ecological movement and make plans for the year ahead. There will be workshops, tasty vegan food, some music and dancing, and very likely shit homebrew cider.

Anti-Coal Struggles in Lutzerath, Germany (+ Bad News)

From The Final Straw Radio

First up, we share an interview with Fauv, a radical who recently participated in the anti-coal occupation in the village of Lützerath / Lutzerath (aka the ZAD of Rhineland) in western Germany against the company RWE. We talk about RWE’s push to break resistance at Lutzerath and the currently-calm Hambach Forest, which activists fear will be attacked by RWE and their goons.

Dancing & Digging: A Review

My takeaway is that Seaweed’s language is both easy and intense, and has utility whether you throw it piecemeal into conversations with friends outside the green anarchist tendency or examine it deeply with accomplices to deepen and broaden your perspectives and tactics. Day-Woods suggests that you “memorize [their] words and make them your own”, and there are blank pages at the back for noting down your own proverbs and those of your friends. This book is a pointing text aimed at fighting text generally, a collection of wise insights aimed at weaving together a wise culture more than elevating wise individuals, and a nourishing ground in which the flower of liberatory oral skills can begin to root. I have some battered trousers with big pockets that I wear most days, and now most days this beautiful little book sits in one of those pockets.

‘I don’t want your progress! It tries to kill … me!’

Ecological anarchist and anti-extractivist struggle by Riona O’Regan

From Taylor & Francis Online by Alexander Dunlap

Full title: ‘I don’t want your progress! It tries to kill … me!’ Decolonial encounters and the anarchist critique of civilization

Where are green anarchist and anti-civilization thoughts in academia? This article offers an encounter between green anarchism and decolonial theory to demonstrate its relevance as an action-oriented practice carried out across the world by groups or individuals rejecting domination and subjugation by state, capital, and other forms of power.

“Nature is the marvellous that the surrealist seeks”

marvellous

From: https://anarchysecessionsubsistence.blogspot.com/

By Shaun Day-Woods

One of the most ubiquitous expressions in surrealist writing is the word ‘marvellous’, a term which harkens back to Andre Breton’s original declaration. In the first Surrealist Manifesto of 1924, the founder of the movement wrote ‘Let us not mince words, the marvellous is always beautiful, anything marvellous is beautiful, in fact only the marvellous is beautiful.’

Wanted: Hosts for West Coast Book Tour of "Black Blossoms At The End Of The World"

Wanted: Hosts for West Coast Book Tour of "Black Blossoms At The End Of The World"

Wanted: Hosts for West Coast Book Tour
Black Blossoms At The End Of The World

One of the primary editors and writers for the anti-civilization journal of theory and action, Green Anarchy (RIP), is planning a Spring/Summer West Coast speaking/discussion tour based on the ideas presented in the newly released compilation of his more recent writings: Black Blossoms At The End Of The World (LBC Books). The prioritization for the events are, of course, anarchist spaces, but along with traveling companion Rivkah Charnovsky, Invecchiare Selvatico (aka Nazel Pickens, and a number of other RotN names) would also consider other “radical-leaning” social spaces, land projects, parks, wildlands, cafes, bars, or even better, fleecing university funds. Topics of discussion will cover critiques of: technology, the Left, Antifa, Primitivism, identity politics, progress, hope, ideology, morality, binary thinking, revolution, martyrdom, guilt, politics, the general failure of the anarchist space, and more, while offering our own unique anti-civilization perspectives on a more decentralized, autonomous, anti-tech, place-based reality where creativity, personal and shared desire, sustenance, and lived anarchy are prioritized over activism, politics, duty, and society… along with some situational spirituality, misanthropy, nihilism, and destruction sprinkled in for extra spice. The goal is to open up unique, nuanced, complicated, and interesting dialogue. Leftist need not apply… and we will defend ourselves.

Timothy Morton on Immediatism Podcast

Timothy Morton's essays on Immediatism podcast at Immediatism.com

Timothy Morton has called themself an anarchist ontologist. Five of Morton's essays have now been read on Immediatism podcast, across the 17 episodes linked below. Perhaps of greatest interest to anarchy generalists would be the fifth of these, entitled "Things in Common" (episodes 719-723), which serves as the introduction to their book, "Humankind: Solidarity With Non-Human People" (Verso, 2017).

Poly and Other Relationships, on Immediatism

Immediatism has been looking at relationships and how anarchist views, and ways of talking about relationships, have changed over time. This was done by reading all of the following pieces in chronological order, followed by a piece translated by Seaweed as an encore. Here, you have Emma Goldman and Voltairine de Cleyre to compare with Clemence x Clementine and Andie Nordgren.

Backwoods 3: Call for submissions

Backwoods, volume 3 - call for submissions

It has been our great pleasure to renew and recreate Backwoods as a new editorial team, after unexpected life circumstances unrelated to the project caused two among the first group of editors to leave the journal one at a time after the first two issues. The new group has made a joint decision to release larger (150 - 250-page) volumes on an irregular schedule, whenever we have a suite of content with which we are happy.

Thoughts on Wildness and Domestication

While out walking or cycling at night, foxes can always be seen roaming the housing estate. The glow of their eyes in darkness, appearing from dark alleyways suddenly visible under the street lights, they move around without a sound, hardly noticed. These lovely magnificent creatures are the embodiment of wildness. Leviathan towers all around but yet these wild beings live on freely from domestication. The foxes at times live off the scraps and waste that civilization throws away, but long after civilization crumbles these creatures will live on.

John Moore's A Primitivist Primer, on Immediatism

This essay answers the questions, What is Anarcho-Primitivism?, How is it Different from Anarchism & Other Ideologies?, How Does it View Technology?, and What About Population?, as well as how to make contacts with anarcho-primitivists. From the book Anarchist Speculations, Writings by John Moore, from Ardent Press and LittleBlackCart.com, which includes tributes to John and an introduction by Aragorn!. This book is highly recommended!
