Nihilist Pragmatism

So the law did what it does and took the rights away from millions in the matter of a day. People showed up in the streets to protest but all theyre doin is beggin the government to give em their rights back. Dont they know thats not how this works? They can post as many instagram stories and hold as many candlelight vigils as they want but shit aint gonna change. A democrat tells me that what theyre doin is spreading awareness so that their guy can get in office and do the thing that gives us our rights back. Bull fucking shit! Their guys in office and let this slide! Im sure as hell not waitin 20 fuckin years for the incremental change to give us the right that was taken away from us in a single day. Whos to say they wont just take it back when their guys outta office? Isnt that what always happens? Well im not fucking havin it. No no no no. Tonights the night it changes. Tonights the night I throw a brick through a fuckin window!

Presentation text of Anarchist Circle “La Faglia”

From Act for Freedom Now!

Original Full title: Foligno, Italy: Presentation text of Anarchist Circle “La Faglia” and poster for its opening on 15th and 16th October.

So, why “La Faglia” [fissure, crack]? Firstly, because this is a land of earthquakes, consequently of speculation and abandonment of the mountains. [...] But not only. Above all we see La Faglia as a moment of rupture, because – convinced that negation is what heightens the intellect – we prefer to open up cracks rather than ‘build bridges’.

Anarchism for termites: A manifesto

Anarchism for termites: A manifesto

From Autonomies
For Bruno Latour (1947-2022)

When we began to write this “Manifesto”, it was to compliment an earlier exercise in manifesto writing – A moss-like anarchist manifesto – and to continue the sceptical exercise of distilling images and concepts from parallel reflections that have served as inspiration for our own, in this case, Bruno Latour’s essay, After Lockdown: A Metamorphosis.

A moss-like anarchist manifesto

what would moss man do?

From autonomies

A legend tells us that Christian soldiers took the city of Béjar in spain from its Muslim-Arab inhabitants in the 12th century by disguising themselves with coverings of moss, enabling them thereby to enter the city gates by surprise.[1]

Our task is more modest, sharing only transgressive affinities with the legend.[2] Though we are sceptical of manifestos, they can nevertheless serve to distil images and thoughts. These of course can only be the consequence of momentary inspirations.

What follows finds its animus in an essay by bryologist Robin Wall Kimmerer, entitled Gathering Moss, passages of which we also share below.[3] From moss then we gather a few ideas on what a contemporary anarchist politics might be.

Presenting: Anarchist Correspondences

Theory is action!

from Anarchist Correspondences via Anarquia.Info

Contributions to the Informal and Insurrectional Anarchist tendency

Since the end of the summer of 2019, a number of anarchist internationalist comrades of the informal and insurrectionary tendency, anticipating an international initiative – postponed for reasons of force majeure – have been engaged in a correspondence around the situation and about the current conditions of the anarchic galaxy of action around the world. By tracking not only their extreme positions but also their shortcomings, multiple affinities emerged not only between the different comrades but even between the multiple tensions that exist.

Nora219a Manifesto

from Nora 219Ⓐ

We are a family group of Wolfens, that is a grassroot movement for the protection of the Carpathian Forest. We operate as an intersectional collective. We make decisions by consensus. We believe that we can function as we would like the world to function: without hierarchy, human domination over other beings, patriarchy, queerphobia and fascism. With radical empathy and care.

The Dark Mountain Manifesto on Immediatism Podcast

"It is, it seems, our civilisation's turn to experience the inrush of the savage and the unseen; our turn to be brought up short by contact with untamed reality. There is a fall coming. We live in an age in which familiar restraints are being kicked away, and foundations snatched from under us. After a quarter century of complacency, in which we were invited to believe in bubbles that would never burst, prices that would never fall, the end of history, the crude repackaging of the triumphalism of Conrad's Victorian twilight -- Hubris has been introduced to Nemesis.

On the Formation of a New Anarchist Grouping, Obsidian

from anarchists worldwide

Those who seek saviors are doomed to servitude and those who seek glory are obsessed with what they cannot control. Anarchy is the negation of authority and obedience. It is often the obedient that carry the sword, whether by master or mob. We understand that society reinforces these constructs wherever it may seep in. Our enemy is overt, the state and its henchman. Our enemy is covert, ideas brought forth wearing a mask of solidarity, carrying the knife of the state.

Every act taken by the state is in service of itself, and all its capital is paid for in blood. We reject law in its entirety, we battle the conservative notions of safety, security and self. We oppose all modern day capitalism’s tentacles and recognise its ever changing nature. We hold onto and strike out with anarchist ideals in order to feel human and free.
