Our Temple Shall Be Rebellion

From The Dugout

In this episode, we sit down with Anastasia bat Lilith to explore the intersections of Jewish anarchism, spirituality, and organizing. From the roots and lineages that shaped her text Teshuva to the ways Jewish ritual, decolonial thought, and anarchist praxis inform her daily life, Anastasia offers a deep and vulnerable conversation on building liberatory community.

No Gods No Masters – Why Atheism and Anarchism Are a Good Fit

From The Polar Blast - Anarchist Class War News & Views for Aotearoa

Atheism and anarchism are distinct positions, yet their intellectual and political trajectories have long intersected. Atheism, defined as the rejection of belief in gods or divine authority, represents a refusal to submit to transcendent powers. Anarchism, defined as the opposition to unjustified hierarchy and the advocacy of stateless, non-hierarchical social organisation, represents a refusal to submit to earthly rulers. Both challenge authority, obedience, and domination, albeit in different registers.

Millenarian Insurrectionary Hail Marianism

Original title: Millenarian Insurrectionary Hail Marianism: Invecchiare Selvatico Reflects On Warlike, Howling, Pure (by Areïon)

The clock is winding down and there seems to be no path to “victory”, no chance of “winning” (concepts only relevant for those stuck playing Their games). But no, wait… Could it be? Religiosity, self-sacrificial martyrdom, and agenda-infused opportunistic historical re-readings (what the author would likely dismiss as historical revisionism)… that’ll get us to freedom, to anarchy! Awe, well, um, ok? Warlike, Howling, Pure feels like an act of desperation, a last-ditch effort at some sort of ending-times anarchist final triumph or last stand, one that hopefully will not pull other lost souls into its hallowed and insurrecto-thiestic void.

The return of the repressed

By Ausonia Calabrese, from Pleroma Distro

Original title: The return of the repressed: (Anti)religious anarchism and Protestant presuppositions

This article, foremost, is a response to a critique published on my work Against Individualism by a certain Aleph. In short, Aleph is not convinced of my account of the Creative Nothing and is concerned with a “Christian” basis for my mystical methods — among other minutiae.

Finding God in Punk Anarchism: Life in a gnostic underground

From Commonweal (February 2024 issue)
By Aaron Lake Smith
January 30, 2024

I sought and found the Holy Spirit elsewhere, in punk music, which quickly led to anarchist hardcore music, radical politics, rioting, rallies, and trips across the world to disrupt World Economic Forum meetings. The anti-globalization movement was in full swing at the time. I embraced this world based on gut emotions, rather than sustained study of all the Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn books we shoplifted from Barnes & Noble.
