An anarchist society, far from being a remote ideal, has become a precondition for the practice of ecological principles.

I just got these #books today from @pmpress. I'm super excited to read Revolutionary Affinities—I've been looking forward to it since i first heard about it on #CoffeeWithComrades.
The other books are obviously really dope though and I'm excited to check them out. Surviving the Future looks very interesting. and getting a journal issue is always fun.

There is no horror, no cruelty, sacrilege, or perjury, no imposture, no infamous transaction, no cynical robbery, no bold plunder or shabby betrayal that has not been or is not daily being perpetrated by the representatives of the states, under no other pretext than those elastic words, so convenient and yet so terrible: "for reasons of state."

Seeing more and more autistic people being accused of being AI.
This hatred of the way AI interacts is a disability issue. It is a neurodivergence issue.
I want to be clear with this message. This always came from a place of ableism. Ableism is fucking rampant in even leftist communities. Any leftist group that allows this shit to go on not only will never achieve anything meaningfully leftist, it is straight up our enemy.
Don't be the enemy of disabled people.
(Y'all should boost this one)

I am an anarchist not because I believe anarchism is the final goal, but because there is no such thing as a final goal.

Ursula K. LeGuin wrote, “We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art.”
It's interesting how so many quotes of her words leave out those last two sentences, which I think are the most powerful of the entire quote. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.
And yes, art (including the written word) indeed plays a role in this resistance and change, but it cannot be the only step taken. We must push forward to resist in all avenues of life. To topple the capitalism empire for good and replace it with a society for the people and run by the people in mutual aid and library economies.
