Anarchism

Not the best article as it's mainly meant to appeal to liberals, as I was told recently, and convince those sitting on the fence. People's World does this from time to time as it has 2 million subscribers, at least, so the audience is much broader. Hopefully, you'll understand, though I know many will criticize this article, rightfully for certain things.

Victor Grossman was someone that defected to the GDR (or DDR) and defended the GDR/DDR as well as the wider Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries.

For the record, I do not believe that what happened on October 7th was reported accurately at all.

The Free Software Foundation fights for freedom in computing. Among other the 4 software freedoms all free software adheres to:

• The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
• The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
• The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The FSF fights for what i personally would consider anarchist principles as they fight proprietary software that abuses the user and denies them freedom on their own computer.

They also recommend these Operation Systems that recommend user's freedoms:

This gives you full control over your computer instead of putting you at the mercy of companies or governments. Very important I would assume for a lot of anarchists.

One of the premier addresses on the internet for Anarchist books and literature as well as writing

Audible Anarchist is a project started and operated by a group of volunteers that seek to bring important anarchist texts to the audio format.

If you or anyone you know wants to contribute in any way drop us a line at audibleanarchist@gmail.com , help is always welcome.

Errico Malatesta (4 December 1853 - 22 July 1932) was an Italian anarchist propagandist and revolutionary socialist

Most of her writings were allegedly destroyed in the fire said to have caused her death.

A comprehensive 3 part series of documentaries on the early history and struggles of the Anarchist movement, starting with its birth with the Industrial Revolution, then exploring the forms it took in France, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Ukraine, and the United states, concluding with the Spanish Civil War.

Does the Satoshi revolution need more time?

Most governments are introducing taxes on wallets and NFTs, and all content creators in the industry care to teach you to pay your taxes properly.

The biggest threat to global finance embedded in the system, in general indifference.

Wasn't this supposed to be in every person's hands? Off-grid, decentralized as it is in its nature?

(edit)

Yes, I haven't read "Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution" by Kropotkin wich I discovered only recently.

Hi, I with a few people are trying to start a remote game-dev studio inspired by Motion Twin, we would horizontally make decisions on what game idea to work and we would horizontally decide salary if we ever got to the stage of creating games with commercial potential. If anyone is interested you can join us, we are so far mostly interested in using Godot for development cause it is FOSS. We have not incorporated yet anywhere because we have just started and I think that for a long time this will be a part time project with various people having different amount of time to work on the project. If anyone is interested then we can get in touch. We are anarchists/libertarian socialists and we think of this as a political project too.

If you know there was some product and buying obviously helps fund a sketchy lifestyle, you can compare that businesman's faulty morals and weigh it against corporate boardrooms. The guy selling stolen jewelry probably has more of a conscience than the company.

Economics is often about externalizing costs that are natural or ones that are moral, emotional and human. I don't think a single boardmember would ever see their resource extraction through and witness human pain and anguish the way agents of black markets do.

I believe your average sweatshop operator is the criminal you'd be comparing the businessman down the capitalist chain of command and everyone knows than humans are the least moral to traffick. Even if it's just labor trafficking it's a bad look. Some poor Bangladeshi overseer probably takes the fall far too often. Not always because his crapshack factory collapsed.

I recently readed more about it, and the association with anarchy was immediate.

You break my back. You won't break me.
All is black
But I still see
Shut me down
Save me from myself
Shoot me up
Let me burn in hell
Trapped under ice
Comfortably cold
I've gone as low as you can go
Feel no remorse
No sense of shame
Time's gonna wash away all pain
I made a god
Out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king
Of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy
Sacrifice to the cause
Turn your code into law
Compensate to validate the loss
Take a thief, nail him to a cross
Gospel of rage
Faction of hate
Deviate from the absolute
Born of revenge
Raised on cement
Chaos created government
I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king
Of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy
I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king
Of deceit
Wake me up in anarchy
