Social Insurrectionary Methods: Some Brief Excited Thoughts

Social Insurrectionary Methods

From Philly Anti-Capitalist

Original title: Social Insurrectionary Methods: Some Brief Excited Thoughts from a Philly Anarchist

Recently, there’s been a lot more motion in terms of Philly anarchy stuff (attacks, events, and actions). I think it can be attributed to a variety of phenomenon. But I think a big part of it is a phrase that a comrade and I recently discussed that I’m gonna call “social insurrectionary methods”.

TOTW: Occupy 10 years later

Shock-u-py and Awe-cu-py

Around 10 years ago the first Occupy protest to grab large public attention began on September 17, 2011 in Zuccotti Park, New York City. By October, Occupy had setup camp in over 951 cities across 82 different countries, and over 600 spots in the USA. By the end of 2011 and not far into 2012 most of the Occupy spaces had been cleared by the authorities. This week, we’re taking a look back and into the future of Occupy ideas.

Post Covid Riot Prime Manifest

Twenty necessary points on the current conflictualities and perspectives

One: All governments are bad. Right, left, far right… all of them. They do not act in our interest, the people from below, as the Zapatistas would say. Covid-19 has expressed, like through a burning glass, the fundamental antagonism between those who need to recreate the world in such a way that there can be a world at all, and those who, in different forms, hold on to the existing world, the world of doom, participate in its consistency.

At Daggers Drawn on Immediatism podcast

This well-known and beloved classic of Italian insurrectionary anarchism is now available in podcast form.
"We can choose not to live. That is the most beautiful reason for opening oneself up to life with joy."
"On the one hand, there is the existent, with its habits and certainties. And of certainty, that social poison, one can die.
"On the other hand, there is insurrection, the unknown bursting into the life of all. The possible beginning of an exaggerated practice of freedom."

Freedom My Dream on Immediatism podcast

"Do you want to be free, and not be exploited? Never let anybody, with no matter what excuse, rule over you!" ...hmm, this anarchy thing sounds neat.

These two episodes of Freedom My Dream: The Autobiography of Enrico Arrigoni will give you a thorough feel for the excitement and riveting adventure prose between its covers. Each chapter tells a narrative of a near escape or stand taken by the protagonist and his "very dear" comrades, in Italy and Spain during the first half of the twentieth century.

The Anarchist Tension by Bonanno, on Immediatism Podcast

"Anarchists keep asking themselves the same question: What is anarchism? What does it mean to be an anarchist? Why? Because it is not a definition that can be made once and for all, put in a safe and considered a patrimony to be tapped little by little. Being an anarchist does not mean one has reached a certainty or said once and for all, 'There, from now on I hold the truth and as such, at least from the point of view of the idea, I am a privileged person.' Anyone who thinks like this is an anarchist in word alone.

Toward an Army of Ghosts on Immediatism Podcast

Tom Nomad would like to see anarchists operate in increasingly illegible ways, whilst conducting real-time analysis about police operations, as explained in this companion volume to The Master's Tools. To challenge the state, anarchists must operate within the gaps in police coverage, with the intention of disrupting policing itself, which is what enacts the state in material reality. Thinking theory itself is action, and has value to the extent that the theorizing we are doing interrupts policing and so disrupts the state.

Civil or Subversive, now on Immediatism Podcast

From Immediatism.com

To coincide with the London Anarchist Bookfair 2020, Immediatism podcast offers two selections from Civil or Subversive: a Dark Matter Collection, Individualist Writings from the UK. Originally published as Anarchism: Civil or Subversive, this book is available from Ardent Press and LittleBlackCart.com.

A Primer on Police Crowd-Control Tactics

These 8 episodes of Immediatism podcast cover an array of topics to help you see crowds and terrain through a policing lens, in order to predict what police behaviors will be. Includes policing analysis of crowds, tactics, formations, and communications, gleaned mainly from a military operations manual, along with other mainstream sources of policing methods. The conclusion includes anarchist applications of this knowledge. The text as a whole provides a line of argument for not operating as a crowd, although one might use a crowd as cover, diversion, etc. From the Tom Nomad book, The Master's Tools: Warfare & Insurgent Possibility, put out by Repartee and available from LittleBlackCart.com.

MARGINS OF REALITY - Massimo Passamani

MARGINS OF REALITY -- Episode 1: Massimo Passamani

MARGINS OF REALITY is a new podcasting project undertaken by a group of friends who share an intense passion for anarchy and limitless experimentation. We have been collaborating with each other for quite some time on a number of print projects (some of which will be familiar to the more notorious cretins out there), another podcast (over at www.freeradicalradio.net), and a weekly anarchist reading group that most of us have been attending for years. In embarking on this new endeavor, our intention is not only to document and share some of the insights, aporias, and experiences that have emerged out of our conversations and lived experiences of revolt; we also aim to create for ourselves and others a space of limitless experimentation and limitless self-creation for those with the audacity to "base [their] affair on nothing" and consciously construct their life against all domination and submission.
