Feel free to ask questions here. We aspire to make this space a safe space. SLRPNK.net's basic rules apply here, but generally don't be a dick and don't be an authoritarian.
Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.
Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.
Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.
~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom
People want to treat ‘we’ll figure it out by working to get there’ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.
~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us
The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.
~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
~Murray Bookchin, "A Politics for the Twenty-First Century"
There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.
~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism
In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.
The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution...
~Abdullah Öcalan
Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.
~ Murray Bookchin
It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares "Antifa" a terrorist organization.
This doesn't even make sense as Antifa isn't an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦♂️
Stay safe out there!
Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!
yeah, us congress knows a thing or two about terrorism.
Since this is an EU community it should be mentioned that this cannot become law in the US without passing the Senate. Which is usually a much higher bar. The US House of Representatives is known for suggesting outrageous stuff that never even gets heard in the Senate.
this cannot become law in the US without passing the Senate
I guarantee they'll find the votes. Senate Dems are notorious cowards
It's just a bottomless pit of stupidity
Love that they still don't get that it's not an organisation.
TAKE THESE AND MAKE SOMETHING BETTER and brilliant… catchy! Record it. Link it. SPREAD IT. Let these people know they will be held accountable. And by these people I refer specifically to one actual person who has ever existed. These lyrics are entirely the work of Imagination and shared as art, free speech, poetry so that others can make great music with them. They are owned by everyone. In fact, I found them somewhere else and pasted them here.
He want to be a big man
But he know he a small man
In private he dress up and do the can can
He all cartoony like gruncle Stan Stan.
He gotta rich friend he think the man man
His rich friend he love the klan klan
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
In the mornin’ he pulling da fire alarma
He just trying to scare you and make up more trauma
He can’t live without all dat drama
He won’t eat middle eastern cause he says he hates dat schwarma.
Bad things gonna come back on him because of dat karma
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
He talkin’ real loud, tryna sound all tough
But we all know he cain’t sell that rough stuff
Big shoes, big coat, but he still bluff bluff
He be flexin’ like he diamond, but he straight Hufflepuff
Million dollar this that, but it all fake fake
Runnin’ round town like he pushin’ that weight weight
Luigi comin’ Luigi comin’
He scared of the dark, leave a night light on late
Tryna act all brave but his heart pumpin’ shake shake
Luigi comin’ Luigi comin’ ‘cause
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
He say he run the block, but he really just rent it
Tried to buy a Rolex, but the price he couldn’t dent it
All talk, no walk, that’s how he designed it
Tryna boss up but his clout been rewinded
He scared of his shadow, jumpin’ left and right
Actin’ like a king but he cryin’ every night
Luigi comin’
Say he got power, but his grip too light
He can’t handle heat, better step outta sight
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
He got a lil’ squad, they be all yes men
Sayin’ “yes sir,” but they all just pretend
He be braggin’ ‘bout his riches, but he can’t even spend
Tryna swing big, but his punches don’t extend
Talk about respect but he ain’t earned none
Still runnin’ from the truth like he stole some .
Lookin’ in the mirror, see a fraud, not a don
Tryna build an empire but the bricks all gone
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
You can try, but seeing as how anti fascism is not an organization but a moral position, that might be difficult.
Who even is antifa? There isn't an artifacts meeting every Thursday bcz it isn't a group.
For the purposes of the autocrats though, a group that isn't really a group is the best kind.
If nobody's a certain member, everybody's a possible member.
That's the fun part. Antifa is anyone they claim them to be. It's also funny to me how Jan 6th was antifa right up to trump pardoning them.
