If there’s a line to get on a crowded bus, do you wait your turn and refrain from elbowing your way past others even in the absence of police?...

This is crazy

j’ai eu un petit échange à propos de l’anarchie, et on m’a proposé (😅) un peu de lecture pour m’instruire, donc je partage 🙂

How would an anarchist society compare to statist and capitalist societies? It is apparent that hierarchical societies work well according to certain criteria. They tend to be extremely effective at conquering their neighbors and securing vast fortunes for their rulers. On the other hand, as climate change, food and water...

This isn't any article in particular, but rather a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to research leftist theory, or improve their praxis....

Ceci est un résumé fait maison de l’article en anglais Eight hours too many?, accessible sur l’Anarchist Library....

Solarpunk is innately about hope for a better future, but Desert is rather about the impossibility to save the world from climate change and the opportunities for anarchy that arise after the world's end. It's not as if Desert is devoid of hope, but rather it sees hope and possibilities within the end of the world. In that...

Capitalism’s grow-or-die imperative stands radically at odds with ecology’s imperative of interdependence and limit. The two imperatives can no longer coexist with each other; nor can any society founded on the myth that they can be reconciled hope to survive. Either we will establish an ecological society or society will go...

I have recently read Le Guin’s The Dispossessed, which is a wonderful look into a Solarpunk world. However, an important critique that the book emphasizes is that this new Solarpunk society (or, well, an Anarchist society really) has produced a ‘tyranny of bureaucracy’ and a number of social pressures that stifle...

The essay "Towards a Liberatory Technology" is particularly useful for solarpunks as it deals with how technology could be used in a liberatory and ecological way.

Here is a very interesting text from Itxi Guerra originally written in Spanish and translated to English by Anti. It talks a lot about the relationship of anarchism and disability, but I believe it can an be interesting perspective to read for any kind of activists. In the first section there is also an informative list of all...

I love this essay and cannot recommend it enough. It’s a piece of theory that when i first read it made me feel seen and validated and politically relevant at a moment when I really felt like I didn’t exist at all. I like to reread it whenever those feelings kick back up. (It’s also definitely not only aimed at women, as...

Leftwing activism of recent decades exhibits an anarchist turn evident in quantitative indicators like mentions of anarchists in news reports and by activists adopting anarchist modes of organization, tactics, and social goals-whether or not they claim that label. The authors of this Element argue that the very crises that...

A brief article by Tommy Lawson discussing how an anarchist’s understanding of nationalism must be nuanced in the context of imperialism, and how simplistic devotion to the rejection of nationalist ideal of oppressed people would weaken the global resistance against reactionary forces.

Here’s a short critique of manarchism

Black and white drawing of a grpup of punks that looks like a book cover. The title is “Actually Stealing From Companies Is Okay” and the subtitle is “Making a case for workplace theft, shoplifting, looting, and other forms of taking stuff from businesses”

In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city...
