unfreeradical

Since money of course is just the means of exchange, having it prevents the suffering resulting from deprivation being imposed.

We absolutely need people to acquire experience for developing resilient organization that can be generalized to other locations, and shared across broader coalitions.

Communism is not complacency or obedience.

It is simply the eradication of the systems of exploitation.

I think unfortunately a stage of deconstruction is often needed for each individual, if any space it to open for consciousness to take hold.

Exploitation and autocracy are expressly encouraged by particular structure, though, whereas antagonized by other.

I encourage seeking to develop those structures protect the empowerment of everyone.

There is a curious tension between the prudence of conceiving a coherent plan versus the aspiration to foster a politics of participation.

I am often criticized, when advocating for transformative change, for not proffering a vision. It seems everyone is expecting to be led, as though conditioned to be no more than a follower.

It represents a profound challenge to transform our society away from adherence to fixed ideals and toward expression of individual agency.

Any such idea is possible in principle, but ultimately no configuration will be actual except the one constructed through general participation. Variation may be considerable across locality and over time.

I think anarchists may support representation in the sense of delegation, but I have understood that most would be reluctant to uphold a representative body in which would be vested permanent power.

I feel doubtful that a society being permanently stable is necessarily the most important objective.

Try to understand what people need and seek in their lives, and consider how certain organization may promote or impede their capacity to reach or to achieve such needs and wants.

Try not to worry about the absolute count of negative events or negative actors. Most important is the structural resilience against such stress.

Capital and the state are two sides of the same coin. The state protects capital, and capital constructs the state.

Anarchism is the earliest socialist tradition, and the later concept of the workers’ state has always been problematic.
