The Contemptuous Communique #4

thought you were done with anews after communique #1...?

We Bring Flamethrowers to the Snow Storm

Fragility becomes a virtue when all can play at being wounded victims. The pathology of civilization has developed into a sort of Munchausen. For all the lip service to resisting patriarchy, in the end what all these victims want is a paternal savior: daddy, doctor, social worker.

Towards a million dangerous anarchies!

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.

Tristan da Cunha: The utopia that worked

From Freedom News UK

When I was a teenage frequenter of espresso bars the arguments about ‘anarchy – would it work’ enlivened the wait for the bus home from school. I held my ground – ‘yes it would’ – till that bloody film Lord of the Flies came out. Then I was subject to derision and the gleeful scorn of ‘I told you so – human nature’s not like that’ and without authority life would be ‘nasty, brutish and short’. “If it wasn’t for that PC Plod down the road,’ opined my best mate, ‘you’d kill us all for the next Coke’. I didn’t really see it like that but alas so it seemed as I read about massacres and mayhem on remote islands like Pitcairn and Clipperton. Maybe human nature wasn’t as benign and co-operative as I supposed and anarchy might not work after all.

Against the Liberal Creep: We Keep Us Dangerous

From calling for US imperial intervention in Syria to voting for Bernie, the liberal creep within anarchy in the so-called United States in recent years has been a truly disgraceful phenomenon. The pandemic has exponentially metastasized this cancer with supposed anarchists adopting the talking points of the liberal State wholesale and uncritically, especially with regards to the primacy at all costs of a vague and unspecified "safety."

It is the responsibility of free men to trust and to celebrate what is constant—birth, struggle, and death are constant, and so is love, though we may not always think so—and to apprehend the nature of change, to be able and willing to change. I speak of change not on the surface but in the depths—change in the sense of renewal.

But renewal becomes impossible if one supposes things to be constant that are not—safety, for example, or money, or power. One clings then to chimeras, by which one can only be betrayed, and the entire hope—the entire possibility—of freedom disappears.

B Town A Team Hates the US

Urban military drills were recently performed late one night in Bloomington, Indiana, terrifying many local residents. The uproar throughout town caused one city council woman, Susan Sandberg, to justify the drills after the fact. Despite abhorring violence and having expressedthe desire to take guns out of people's hands, she also expressed support for war, well-armed police, and the necessity of putting down certain dissidents -- including anarchists.
