“Despite being a community which is explicitly political in nature, anarchists often depoliticize interpersonal violence and divorce it from its roots in systemic power.”

“When speaking of patriarchy as a cultural and institutional system, rape is its most core technology of enforcement. Rapists are not just cops in the sense of dishing out terror and control, but in the way that they interlock in mutual class identity, solidarity, and collaboration.”

“Many blame queers for the decline of this society — we take pride in this. Some believe that we intend to shred-to-bits this civilization and its moral fabric — they couldn’t be more accurate. We’re often described as depraved, decadent and revolting — but oh they ain’t seen nothing yet.”

“What does a marxist economic worldview mean to a survivor of bashing? To a sex worker? To a homeless, teenage runaway? How can class analysis, alone as paradigm for a revolution, promise liberation to those of us journeying beyond our assigned genders and sexualities? The Proletariat as revolutionary subject marginalizes all whose lives don’t fit in the model of heterosexual-worker. Lenin and Marx have never fucked the ways we have.”

“’Anarkata’ emerges as a response to the political alienation that has been experienced by Black anarcho adjacent leftists who reject both the whiteness of traditional anarchism and the authoritarianism of some forms of Black nationalism.”

“The deceptive absence of Black anarchist politics in the existing literature can be attributed to an inherent contradiction found within the Eurocentric canon of classical anarchism which, in its allegiance to a Western conception of universalism, overlooks and actively mutes the contributions by colonized peoples. In recent years, Black militants, and others dedicated to Black anarchist politics, have gone a long way toward bringing Black anarchism into focus through numerous essays, books, interviews, and public talks, many of which are brought together for the first time in this reader.”

“This series was made to be a tool for community learning and reflective, strategy-building conversations. We have to figure out how to transform our mutual aid efforts into deeply relational, strategic, and revolutionary practices, and we have to take time to figure out how do to that together.”

“Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals.” — The Principles of Anarchism

“Mutual aid can be so much more than an arena in which people compete in order to supplement their wages with donations. … Rather than contending for handouts, we need to build commons that enable us to thrive through collective practices.”

“But the No State reality, if we ever have it, is something that transcends the limits of the possible today. It is something that can be established only by persuasion. It is the one political program that cannot be done by force. … Ultimately, the world has typically been changed by people who are unrealistic. … So when we talk about the ‘No State’ Solution, we are also talking about the perspective that does not just reject existing reality, but also rejects realism as a perspective.” – Mohammed Bamyeh

“When I say there is no real political solution, I mean that the only solution is a no state solution. What would it take for Israel to give up statehood? For Palestinians not to desire statehood? For the US to give up its own statehood? All of these things are connected.”

“In what is perhaps one of the most comprehensive elaborations on the Latin American concept of especifista anarchism now available in English, Social Anarchism and Organisation traces and outlines the theoretical and practical influences on the FARJ’s conception of anarchist organisation and its strategy for social transformation.”

“… racism has been central to capitalism and the State in all phases of their development since their emergence in the 1500s. This system is inherently racist and will always generate racism in one form or another.”

“If there is one thing our opponents fear and abhor – now, in the past and forever – it is our ability to spread the virus of self-governance and self-determination and to replicate infrastructures of resistance in a fractal manner.” — Autistici/Inventati

“We have taken the first step today. You can now access all previous Noblogs sites via .nublogs.org!” — nublogs archivists

“In this conversation you’ll hear a member of the crimethinc ex-workers collective and Sprout from Sabot Media talk about the designation [of Italian autonomous tech collective Autistici/Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist], the intended impacts on anarchist, antifascist and other movements by the US government, and what can come next if we’re up for the fight.”

“twenty-five years from now, the significant fact should not simply be that an Italian hacker collective once ran an email service called Autistici/Inventati, until the United States placed it on a terrorism blacklist and the legal, technical and financial consequences made continuing too dangerous.

“The significant fact should be what happened afterward.”

“This zine goes into detail about mobile phone surveillance and the most common and effective countermeasures against it. Popular misconceptions and urban legends are addressed to help ensure that our threat models and OpSec are based on reality.”

“This zine covers the methods you can use to threat model on your own and how these explicit steps can make you and those around you more safe.”
