The PRAXIS of Anarchism ( youtu.be )

The movie "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" is a psy-op (the book is not) ( www.youtube.com )

As an anarchist, I disagree with the linked video's notion that small groups shouldn't act autonomously. That is garbage. But the rest of what it says about security culture and safety and the fact that the movie was pretty clearly made to encourage activists to compromise their security and/or hurt themselves is right-on and...

David Graeber on the Extreme 'Centre' ( youtu.be )

Obviously this man was an important anarchist thinker, but I think this is particularly relevant to anarchism right now in a US election year where this conversation will come up ad nauseum....

Utah Phillips and Ani DiFranco - The Past Didn't Go Anywhere ( www.youtube.com )

This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. [Anark] ( youtu.be )

Same title as the article posted earlier but I think this was a very moving and important message not just relating to recent events with Aaron Bushnell and Gaza but also more broadly.

Can This Book Save Us From Dystopia? ( www.youtube.com )

Social Ecology

Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.

Quotes

Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.

People want to treat ‘we’ll figure it out by working to get there’ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.

~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.

~Murray Bookchin, “A Politics for the Twenty-First Century”

There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.

In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.

The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution…

~Abdullah Öcalan

Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.

~ Murray Bookchin
