War or Revolution – The anarchist strategies against war and war preparation | PP (Belgium, 2025)

By on • ( Un commentaire )

Bart de Ligt’s ‘Battle Plans’ weren’t made up behind a desk by a ‘pacifist’ liberal intellectual. The ‘Battle Plan’ presented before the WRI was just one version of a long search for consistent strategies against war and its causes. And Bart de Ligt was not alone in developing these ideas: Clara Wichmann, Proudhon, Pierre Ramus, Tolstoy, Domela Nieuwenhuis, Albert de Jong, Arthur Lehning and so many others contributed to it.

Infrastructures of Resistance and Survival Toward Revolution: Reframing Reform v. Revolution Debates | Jeff Shantz (2024)

By on • ( Un commentaire )

Working class infrastructures of resistance can take many forms—workers centers, free schools, cooperative food production, communal childcare, defense committees, collective housing, and more. They provide resources, venues, and logistics for supporting and sustaining struggles on a longer term basis. They also provide space for developing revolutionary consciousness, strategies, and tactics. Grounded in working class communities, relationships, and experiences. We need to focus on building the resources and infrastructures that get us through the current capitalist hellscape while also increasing our capacities to fight toward revolution.

Capitalists, Global Warming, & the Climate Justice Movement | James Herod (2009)

By on • ( Laisser un commentaire )

Can the climate justice movement stop global warming? No, it can not. To do that it would have to be able to destroy capitalism. This objective, however, is hardly even on the agenda for most climate activists, and if it were they wouldn’t have an inkling about a strategy for doing so. Hardly anyone does nowadays. If a movement can’t even identify the root cause of a problem, how can it possibly solve it?

Anarcho-Syndicalism, Technology and Ecology | Graham Purchase (1995)

By on • ( Laisser un commentaire )

In an anarchist society, the absence of centralized state authority will permit a radically new integration of nature, labour and culture. As the social and ecological revolution progresses, national boundaries will become cartographical curiosities, and divisions based upon differences in geography, climate and species distribution will re-emerge. This essay addresses the question of what role unionism will play in these changes.

Murray Bookchin: Throwing the baby out with the bathwater | review essay by Iain McKay (USA, 2009)

By on • ( Laisser un commentaire )

I take no pleasure in showing up Bookchin’s contradictions and personal revisionism. It is a shame that he ended such a fruitful political life by writing such rubbish. Hopefully, his post-anarchist work (along, of course, with his silly « libertarian municipalism » fetish that became his undoing) will be ignored in favor of his real, important and still relevant contributions to libertarian theory.
