Editorial: TOTW: New Laws in the New Normal (11/5/21)

by Anonymous

We may be past the worst, or not. The economic and climate crisis are still playing out. It remains to be seen whether and (if so) how capitalism will recompose for a new wave. If there’s an upturn then there may well be some social liberalisation or attempts to imitate aspects of anarchism in a tamed form. (I say this because of the similar process with liberalism in the nineteenth century and socialism in the twentieth). Archaic and pointless laws (e.g. against drugs and sex work) might be repealed. If there isn’t an upturn then the state might survive but with reduced resources, or it might collapse. In either case the gap between what’s legal and what’s possible will grow.

Beyond The Dark Horizon Volume 2 released

From Beyond the Dark Horizon

A publication of green anarchist art, poetry, stories, rants from 'so called-Australia'

"We are in a new epoch of breakdown what will it mean to not have a horizon ... to have no map of how act ... to have only shifting sands to cling to and be in a world radically different than that of the last 10000+ years? What does green anarchy mean today."

Opening Editorial, Wild Resistance no 6: Kevin Tucker

From Wild Resistance no 6, Winter 2019.
January 21, 2019

I’ve opened nearly all of the previous five issues of this journal with an unintentional, yet persistent theme: our world, the world that civilization has created and recreated, is shifting. 

Politically, socially, ecologically: not only is the climate shifting towards instability and unpredictability, social and political climates are as well. It is no longer a question about whether or not we are off the rails, but how far off we are and what damage will be done in the crash. The events of our world seem to unfold in the chaotic outpouring of feedback loops created by the real time updates fed into devices that are meant to keep our attention. Devices meant to keep us from looking up.
