anarchism

From 20 to 26 May 2024, Prague will host the Action Week, whose motto is:
“Together against capitalist wars and capitalist peace.”

Each weekday during this week will see a different event. There will be presentations, discussions, fundraisers, protests and various types of direct action. Then the end of the week will be devoted to a bookfair and an internationalist conference, where we will try to shift from theoretical matters towards the coordination of concrete anti-war activities.

A Review of Michael Lowy & Oliver Besancenot, Revolutionary Affinities: Toward a Marxist-Anarchist Solidarity

Michael Lowy and Oliver Besancenot, two Marxists from the Trotskyist tradition, have made an effort to discuss possible convergences and interactions between Marxism and anarchism. (The little book has been well translated from the French by David Campbell, an anarchist who did most of the work while in jail in New York City.)

A Guide to Anarcho-Syndicalism and Libertarian Socialism, Review of Tom Wetzel's Overcoming Capitalism: Strategy for the Working Class in the 21st Century by Wayne Price

This is an important book. Tom Wetzel presents a vision of a free, equal, and cooperative society, without classes, states, or other forms of oppression. It would be directly managed from below in all areas, including the economy and community. He refers to this program, alternately, as “revolutionary syndicalism” or “libertarian socialism.”

I have been running the blog project paradox-a.de for three years now. Originally I started the blog to have a place to publish my texts and to give a contact possibility at my lectures. In the meantime, I have gained a manageable readership and have been able to somewhat influence the German-language debate on anarchist theory.

Throughout history, anarchists have sought to expand the boundaries of sexual freedom and liberate individuals from oppressive conventions. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, anarchists sought to reject the moral and legal restrictions imposed by the state on sexuality, particularly for women. In France, anarchist Emma Goldman was a prominent advocate of sexual liberation, and sought to challenge the idea that sexual pleasure was only for men.

A response to The Contemptuous and their first communique

I wish to begin this response by thanking several friends (who wish not to be named) for the conversations we’ve had while I have digested and teased out the communique by the group calling itself The Contemptuous. The communique was posted on Anarchist News on the 12th of April, 2023.

A Contemptuous Idea:
Communique #1

The real challenge of the contemporary anarchist is to feel they are totally in rebellion against the existent while simultaneously completely welcome at the next National Public Radio-sponsored wine tasting.

We just posted Episode 4: Nihilism (Part2) for your nihilistic listening pleasure. This time around we discuss anarcho-nihilism and Blessed is the Flame by Serafinski.

It was a bit of a detour to help answer all of the listener questions we received on Nihilism Part 1, but ended up being a fun conversation. So much fun that we ran quite long so you all were spared too much Walter Benjamin talk and my petty issues with using jouissance in a quasi-academic text without considering Lacan…

From Ego Death Podcast

Hey there internet folks. We're Zack and Josh and Ego Death is our first foray into podcasting.

This project is very much a work in progress, but the gist is that we're having conversations we'd have with each other, or friends anyway, and recording them for anyone that might have interest.
