Years in the making, this text aims to provide an accessible introduction to the topic of anarchy, and its relevance to brown people in search of justice and freedom. In it, readers are offered concepts that can enable other...
“The more laws and restrictions there are, the poorer the people become. The sharper the weapons, the more unrest in the land. The more clever and cunning the people, the stranger the events that occur. The more rules and laws, the more thieves and robbers.” — Lao Ma (13th century BCE) aka Lao Tzu (5th...
“War thinking is a problem.” “Why would we join a fight where we want both sides to lose?” Aragorn!, The Fight For Turtle Island Throughout the larger portion of my life I have observed the spectacles of war, usually focused on those pertaining to conflicts in the middle east, with horror and revolt. I remember...
Days of War Nights of Love: Crimethink for Beginners Less a novel than an exploded manifesto, Days of War, Nights of Love might be just what we need. It certainly might be just what we need. It certainly saved my night when I picked it up. I was expecting an evening of frenzied screamo music...
Over the first half of 2025, the situation has worsened significantly. We’ve seen the capture of government by the most radical and fascistic elements of our political class. We’ve seen a tremendous erosion of civil liberties, and rights and resources for marginalized groups. We’ve watched as masked men abduct and deport our neighbors and loved...
Note I wrote this paper at the request of an anarchist colleague, despite the fact that I do not care much for “anarchist politics.” Despite my better judgment, I had sent it to Anarchist Studies for publication, as an attempt to showcase a practical ‘post-anarchism’ in psychoanalytic working groups within the School of Lacan. It...
“Dominion is a relatively late invention in history and is typically linked with the rise of patriarchy.” — Heide Göttner-Abendroth Let’s be honest—what comes to mind when you hear the word “Stone Age”? Perhaps Fred Flintstone, half-naked in a bearskin, dragging his Wilma by the hair into a cave, or clubbing bison? A cliché, no...
Sunday, June 8th, 2025 As rocks, bottles, e-scooters, fireworks & other found objects rained upon California Highway Patrol SUV squad cars parked on the 101 Freeway (a below-grade cement corridor that runs through downtown Los Angeles), it appeared that everyone out on the streets was in agreement. This was fine, keep an eye out for...
Part 1 At some point in the late fifties or early sixties, Pacifica Radio’s Charlie Hayden interviewed the inimitable Robert Anton Wilson on all things anarchism. Wilson waxes poetic on anarchism’s foundations and answers some challenging questions from a presumable skeptic in Hayden. While the exact date of the interview is unknown, the early to...
Benjamin Tucker considered The General Idea of the Revolution in the 19th Century Proudhon’s best book—“the most wonderful of all the wonderful books of Proudhon”—and he may well have been right in that judgment. Like many of the greatest works of the last century this “most wonderful book” comes to us from a prison cell:...
In Los Angeles, no partisan in the struggle has not been touched by riot, revolt, or localized rebellion. The tip of the spear here has been sharpening itself since the Watts Uprising of 1965, the 1992 LA Riots, and the George Floyd Rebellion of 2020 Nation-States become customs agents of capital. There are no governments,...

In a letter to Gambuzzi (Locarno, 6 November 1870), Bakunin wrote that he was happy [to hear] that the former had returned to Naples to try to get elected as a deputy, and added: You will perhaps be surprised to see me, a determined and passionate abstentionist, pushing my friends to get elected as deputies...
Workers! I speak to the Catalan people, to the generous people that four months ago defeated the soldiers who tried to crush them beneath their boots. I send you salutations from your brothers and comrades in Aragón, who are only kilometers from Zaragoza, within sight of the towers of Pilarica. Whatever threat may hover over...
