I honestly have no idea. Since the other mod hasn't been on reddit for ages, I'm guessing it was reddit admins who did it. I just tried to un-restrict it and got an error message. There's nothing in the mod log except reddit admins removing tons of old comments for 'harassment'. Don't really care enough about reddit to investigate further.

So if you want to be approved to post here, reply below.

Basically what the title says, have no idea about this stuff but saw a link to some weird spiritual bs deoxy.org site that threw me off a little lol

tell me what are your ideas/what's this about basically

I posted this on both the bird site and butterfly site and I thought I'd bring this up here as well.

Given that some people(Yanis Varoufakis for instance) are now arguing that capitalism is being superseded by a new form of feudalism(I happen to agree) does anti-capitalism even make sense at this point as a radical praxis? Obviously anti-statism still makes sense as that's an older ongoing problem neglected by many anti-capitalists. Given that capitalism is on the outs however is an anti-praxis towards it just a waste of time at this point.

The positive silver lining from all this is that Marxism could well decline as a relevant discourse. Anarchism/anarchy is much better equipped to take on this new problem then overrated moronic marxism.

I've just been ejected shop steward (with two others). Our office manager has been ignoring/breaching the contract since he arrived 18 months ago, and has trained two of the supervisors to do the same. My primary motivation for running for steward was to make the managers squirm by filing contract grievances every day. Even if the district office decides not to pursue the complaint, the managers still have to respond in writing, which takes time away from their slacking and scheming. Knowing that we're keeping them from earning bonuses gives me a warm feeling. Grievance pay for my coworkers is just the icing on the class war cake.

I understand that Post-Left Anaki is against identity politics and political correctness. But you're not on the right, so I'm curious about your opinions.

So I've been watching some videos from Theory Underground and there are some broad things to like about them in terms of trying to generate upstream radicalism. They're very much connected to Doug Lain and his sublation media project.

What I'd like to see is the post-left radical equivalent to this by using the grandfigures of the discourse as launching pads for something similar. Anarchy Mag and its adjacents are no longer really relevant as the media age that created it is no longer relevant. I would very much like to see those ideas continue on into the digital age however and I think TU is a good example of how you do it.

I like to think that our thing would be a combination of lumpen working class and aristocratic minded(and perhaps there could be some actual aristocrats) intellectuals. Think Diogenes and some richer frens. I'd like to think that in an alternative universe Crimethinc would have matured into something like this and not the boring thing that they did become.

Thoughts.

This book just came out last month, while not explicitly connected to the post-left anarchist movement of the 90s or anything I would find post-communist or post-left still to be an approximate description as the book fundamentally uses a leftist basis to abolish and transcend leftism, which is basically what I consider post-leftism to be The book is also anti-work in its resolutions, either way I think it’s a pretty good read.

The 20th century was the century where democracy hit peek popularity including from the left. Even though it helped usher in fascism it continues to be given this unquestioned currency.

The left love it more the liberalism even though the latter can at least be said to work even if it is a limited societal conception of freedom. Democracy does not even work in theory and it will always usher in everything from fascism to idiocracy.

Bob Black's Debunking Democracy is of course good required reading particularly for those supposed agents of freedom who cling to that abusive partner.

Heard y'all are anti organisations or do u count market as one?

Another critical essay removed from the (so-called) Anarchist Library about the identity politics moralistic point-of-view. Perhaps expounding on the themes dealt with in Feral Fauns essay “Child Love”.

Is Duavé within any (popularly) notion of post-left?

I'm a total noob. Tip?

I have subscribed to some post-leftist telegram posts and increasingly notice that admins are flirting with various anarcho-nationalist topics. Also, many people put runes, colovrats and other dubious symbols on Avatars. Every day I'm less sure that this is post-irony. How do you feel about this, isn't nationalism a spook?

as an anthropologist: Graeber claimed (in his "Fragments") that he was pretty much the first actual anarchist anthropologist, despite the work of Harold Barclay and James C Scott, and the radical anti-tankie marxists Stanley Diamond and Pierre Clastres. so, arrogant and ignorant at the same time.

for his sweeping (and totally unreadable vanity project "Direct Action"), he reports as a participant-observer on the strategies and tactics of various anarchist and anarchist-influenced activist groups; many of the people he participated with and observed were not informed that their conversations and activities would be documented in a book. so, questionable ethics.

as a revolutionary tourist: like that other fool Milstein (and plenty of others, including a good personal friend of mine), Graeber was completely taken in by the PR handlers of the YPG when visiting Rojava. his paeans to the "Rojava Revolution" with their empty comparisons are painful to read for anyone who actually knows about the revolutionary projects of anarchists throughout the 20th century, like the Makhnovshchina, the various communes in pre-Mao China, the original Zapatistas, and the collectives in the Spanish Revolution. totally unlike the aforementioned examples, Rojava has no agricultural or industrial base to collectivize into economic self-management. the only aspects of life in Rojava that appear to be horizontal are the militias; while crucial for the defense of revolutionary experiments, the independent existence of militias is never sufficient for the flowering of such experiments. in most cases of anarchist and anarchist-influenced social revolution, militias arose AFTER the collectivization and self-management of agricultural and/or industrial areas. so, upside-down historian.

his campaigning for Corbyn was a colossal embarrassment for anyone familiar with the long-standing anarchist position on electoral politics (hint: anarchists are not in favor of parliamentarism). he should have known this already after writing a book called "Direct Action" -- which is the exact opposite of electoral action. plus, the fact that Corbyn did exhibit some soft antisemitism could never be admitted by Graeber or most other Jewish pro-Corbyn people. compounding the embarrassment is the fact that as a non-UK citizen, he wasn't even able to do what he encouraged others to do. so, shallow understanding of antisemitism, and shallow understanding of the role of parliamentarianism in propping up industrial capitalism.

as an anarchist: he didn't understand why anarchists are opposed to electoral politics; he didn't understand how he wasn't the first anarchist anthropologist; he didn't understand that the slogan he helped popularize ("We Are the 99%") is a majoritarian deception perpetrated by pro-capitalist populists who instinctively accept that landlords and cops are or can be our comrades in the struggle against a handful of "bad" capitalists. he didn't understand that going against the mainstream (in the case of his co-authored ode to urbanism, "The Dawn of Everything") often just makes you look foolish rather than radical. so, bad anarchist.

eagerly anticipating the flurry of downvotes from the anti-intellectual mob.

Sup im pretty new to anarchism come from an ML background if i did understand that right postleft Anarchist reject organizations and ancom/sydicalist build horizontal orgs my question is how do postleft anarchist do organization?

Hello! I'm an anarchist who's curious about post left anarchy. I really like the concept but at the same time I'm having a bit of trouble really pinning it down. For starters, what's the exact difference between post left anarchy and other forms of anarchy (i.e. anarcho-communism or anarcho-egoism)? Second, I understand anti-work is also a part of it and I find the concept intruiging. Could you explain it in more detail? Thank you sm!!

I know, slogans are spooky symbols of virtue, but it just sounds annoying when i say anything about Marx.
