TOTW: What is post-left?

Guest TOTW by John Zerzan

Topic of the Week: What is post-Left? Various groups, projects, etc. including anarchistnews are referred to as 'post-Left." What does that actually mean, what does it signify or include? Others (e.g. JZ) feel that anti-Left is a required orientation. Is post-Left a substantive designation?

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.

A Dagger of Feral Anarchy

by Flower Bomb

I remember once over-hearing a conversation in which there was a debate between using “post-left” or “anti-left” to describe anarchy beyond leftism. I thought this was an interesting conversation because it reminded me of how I once viewed and related to anarchy. I remember having viewed anarchy as a world to create, necessitating the organization of others to materialize it. Over time my relationship to anarchy shifted. Soon I found myself relating to anarchy as a sense of feral becoming – a personal revolt that placed emphasis on self – responsibility rather than co-dependence on others. This shift came from the understanding that people are not a singular mass herd of mindless followers but instead unique, complex individuals capable of independent thought, decisions, and actions. For me, anarchy beyond leftism abandons the idea that people are in need of organized leadership, and puts forward an understanding of how people discover their own power best when they’re governed, organized, or controlled the least.

Green Scare Anarchist Bookfair Spring 2020

The very first Green Scare Anarchist Bookfair took place May 11th-12th 2019 in the small town of Boyceville, Wisconsin. Some people were too afraid to show up, some tablers dropped out last minute and other tablers showed up to take their place. Overall, more people showed up than expected. Secret workshops covering illegal activity took place. Venders had their books stolen. One person had their tent pepper sprayed.
