Anarchism

Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.

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.

~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom

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.

~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

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.

~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism

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

~Abdullah Öcalan

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

You funny.

Here's a quote from the intro to the site.

"Feel free to ask questions here. We aspire to make this space a safe space."

I guess you're the kind of anarchist who like to make up rules for other people.

"Anarchism" and "accelerationism" are two different things.

And, BTW, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Marx were also white AF.

Are you even aware what anarchism is? Because Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Marx were definitely not anarchists.

And apparently you didn't read the article either, because it doesn't talk about anything even remotely like accelerationism or assassinations of CEOs.

But feel free to ask question, because apparently you are highly confused about this community.

Yes I am aware of the side bar text. But asking questions is not the same as spouting uninformed non-sense and then getting annoyed about flippant responses.

Luigi shot one CEO, now there’s an app for armed guard Uber. Some kid is going to throw an egg at a boss and get gunned down by private security.

What part of that is 'uninformed?'

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It has nothing to do with the linked article or this community.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Now you're just moving the goal posts.

Unless you're saying that no anarchist ever did direct action.

Ain't nobody flexin' their confident ignorance like a white-ass teen. Statistically speaking, of course.

Aw, look, the puppy's so eager for attention, it's willing to accept beatings as physical contact. 🥲 Somebody around here fed this poor thing, didn't they? Think ahead next time, dear friends. We can do better. No more sick puppies, please.
