Private property has crushed true individualism, and set up an individualism that is false. It has debarred one part of the community from being individual by starving them. It has debarred the other part of the community from being individual by putting them on the wrong road and encumbering them.
-- Oscar Wilde
Anarchism is just the way people act when they are free to do as they choose, and when they deal with others who are equally free.
-- David Graeber

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
It true that divine right of kings is eliminated in many pockets around the world (we still havent in many other places), what this statement does is obfuscate reality.
What happened is system of permanent Kings (once they became too weak) gave way to even more powerful permanent system of temporary kings (Representative so called "Democracy"), which many of us are coerced to live under & are forced to acknowledge to be legitimate, under the threat of organised violence of State.
Thats an important detail.
Libertarians make a dogma of liberty; anarchists make it an end.

You might have already seen this on hell site.
Paypal has partnered with Zionists to take down Palestinian accounts that were fund-raising, cutting off access to major support systems Palestinians have (Some Palestinians have already shared screenshots of their accounts being suspended by PayPal).
Zionists in the past already took down one of the major crypto service that Palestinians were using. Now PayPal to attack Palestinians so they wont get any help from outside, while the genocide goes on.
There is a contingent of comrades on left who are unhappy that others on left are speaking about observable Zionist influence in centers of power like in this & other cases. Speaking on this topic some consider antisemitic (I will write a separate long post on this).
I am not a Palestinian, but atleast do Palestinians — the victims of Zionists — have any legitimacy to define who their oppressors are …

Is that a taboo too?

Organised religion has corrupted one of the purest, most powerful and sustaining things in the human condition. It has imposed a middle management, not only in our politics and in our finances, but in our spirituality as well.
-- Alan Moore
Statement from the comrade who engaged in self-immolation outside Entity's consulate.
**
My name is Matt Nelson, and I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest.
We are all culpable in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We call ourselves the greatest nation in history yet we spend more on weapons of war than we do on educating our children, helping the homeless, ensuring all Americans have equal rights, and protecting the environment combined. We are slaves to capitalism and the military industrial complex. Most of us are too apathetic to care.
The protest I am about to engage in is a call to our government to stop supplying Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians, to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza, and to support the ICC indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli government.

I urge any of you who are of the same mind to call your senators and representatives and demand that they introduce and advance legislation to achieve these goals. If sitting lawmakers won't, vote for those who will. A democracy is supposed to serve the will of the people, not the interests of the wealthy.
Take the power back.
Free Palestine.

Actually inventing or producing things is at best the path to small-time wealth. The really big fortunes -- the billionaire kind -- instead come from controlling the circumstances under which other people are allowed to produce things.

Today in Labor History September 9, 1828: Leo Tolstoy, Russian author and playwright was born. He is most famous for novels like Anna Karina, and War and Peace. He chose the name for the latter after reading French anarchist Proudhon’s publication called War and Peace. Tolstoy also wrote many short stories, an autobiography and many works of nonfiction. After witnessing a public execution in 1857, he wrote: "The truth is that the State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens ... Henceforth, I shall never serve any government anywhere." In the 1870s, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening, which led him to become a Christian anarchist and pacifist, and which he wrote about in his non-fiction work Confession (1882). He also wrote about nonviolent resistance in The Kingdom of God Is Within You (1894), which influenced Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and …

A death cult has taken over Israel, pushing settler militarism from apartheid to genocide. Holding up Netanyahu’s own crowd of opportunists, buffoons and evil rejects, the ethno-nationalist far right is calling the shots, writes Freedom's editor Uri Gordon. https://freedomnews.org.uk/2024/09/09/anti-fascism-and-the-gaza-genocide/ #israel #palestine #antifascism #anarchism
