How Capitalism Torched the Planet by Imploding Into Fascism- by Umair Haque

Why Catastrophic Climate Change is Probably Inevitable Now –  Sometimes, when I write scary essays, I encourage you not to read them. This one’s different. It’s going to be brutal, scary, jarring, and alarming. But if you want my thoughts on the future, then read away. It strikes me that the planet’s fate is now probably sealed. We have just a decade in which to control climate change — or goodbye,… …

Τα δόντια της Αυτοκρατορίας, η άνοδος του Φασισμού: Ανακοίνωση των Βραζιλιάνων Αναρχικών για τον Bolsonaro

Αυτό που ακολουθεί είναι μετάφραση μιας ανακοίνωσης των συντρόφων μας στη Βραζιλία σχετικά με την τρέχουσα και πολιτικά επείγουσα κατάσταση εκεί. Καθώς η Βραζιλία κλυδωνίζεται από οικονομική ύφεση, κοινοβουλετικά πραξικοπήματα και σκάνδαλα, εισχώρησε στο κενό και ο ακροδεξιός υποψήφιος για την προεδρία Jair Bolsonaro2. Κερδίζοντας τον πρώτο γύρο των προεδρικών εκλογών, προχωρά προς τον δεύτερο στις 28 Οκτωβρίου όπου θα βρεθεί αντιμέτωπος με τον υποψήφιο του Κόμματος των Εργατών (PT) Fernando Haddad. Συγκρινόμενος συχνά με… …

Tunisians rise up against austerity!

Why we don’t make demands- by Crimethinc

From Occupy to Ferguson, whenever a new grassroots movement arises, pundits charge that it lacks clear demands. Why won’t protesters summarize their goals as a coherent program? Why aren’t there representatives who can negotiate with the authorities to advance a concrete agenda through institutional channels? Why can’t these movements express themselves in familiar language, with proper etiquette? Often, this is simply disingenuous rhetoric from those who prefer for movements to limit… …

The Art of Not Being Governed: Hill Peoples and Valley Kingdoms in Mainland Southeast Asia

  For two thousand years, the peoples residing in Zomia — the mountainous region that stretches from the Central Highlands of Vietnam to northeastern India — have fled the organized state societies in the valleys. Far from being ‘remnants’ left behind by civilizing societies, they are “barbarians by choice”, peoples who have deliberately put distance between themselves and lowland, state-centers. James Scott, director of the Agrarian Studies Program at Yale… …

What would an Anarchist society look like? – from Anarchist FAQ

So far this FAQ has been largely critical, focusing on hierarchy, capitalism, the state and so on, and the problems to which they have led, as well as refuting some bogus “solutions” that have been offered by authoritarians of both the right and the left. It is now time to examine the constructive side of anarchism — the libertarian-socialist society that anarchists envision. This is important because anarchism is essentially… …

SEEKING MAPS AT THE END OF THE WORLD

After the initial wave of terror and fury, my post-election tactic has mostly been dissociation. Out of safety, out of self-protection.

When Insurrections Die by Gilles Dauvé

This perspective was not realized. The European industrial proletariat missed its rendez-vous with a revitalized Russian peasant commune. Brest-Litovsk, 1917 and 1939… …
