anarchy 101

Source: Raddle

I'm genuinely disenchanted by how many internet anarchists seem determined to spend their time debating how they would build and administer prisons after their fantasy revolution. This new generation of YouTube-informed "anarchists" is honestly hopeless: people who have somehow managed to take a political tradition founded on opposition to prisons, police, and state coercion and turn it into an endless exercise in designing "better" ways to police and imprison people.

Social capital affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from employment and education to friendship and organising. By understanding how it operates—both its emancipatory potential and its capacity to reproduce domination—we can cultivate social relations that move us closer to anarchy.

Some of the most basic concepts in anarchist theory can prove terribly slippery when we try to apply them — sometimes even when we apply them with great care.

This is the second in a series of documents attempting to frame the discussion of key concepts in anarchist theory. (You will find all of these documents linked in the subreddit’s wiki, on the “Anarchism in a Nutshell” page.)

From Unoffensive animal

The cops are not your friends! Cops are the guardians of the state, and their purpose is to protect property and perpetuate oppression. Therefore the cops will never be on the same side as radical movements, not with anarchists, nor with anyone who fights for the liberation of non-human animals. Some cops will still try to be friendly to you. Don’t go for it! At all times, the cops are trying to gather information, even if they are pretending to be helpful or “just having a chat”! Remember, the cops are your enemy. Therefore you shouldn’t talk to them!

Anarchists often argue with opponents who have already assumed certain criteria for political philosophy.
