The First Woman President? A Panarchist Primer
It’s election season again. Which means, anything goes. In the USA, the Bidenesque husk on the throne has been summarily replaced (for now) by the empty vessel who would love to vault from first woman VP to first woman POTUS.
A crucial moment for humankind
by Paul Cudenec I’ve lost count of the number of times that I have warned, especially since 2020, of the enormous danger currently staring us […]
Warriors and Peaceful Tribes
The Great Debate: Anarchism versus Brutalism (compiled from recent posts at New World Dreaming Substack, by Nowick Gray) Introductory Remarks I would like to introduce […]
Quietly withdrawing consent
This is not a comprehensive list of ways people can start to quietly withdraw their consent from a toxic system. To come up with such a list would be arrogant. All we want to do with this piece is offer some pointers and get people to start the process of thinking how they can circumvent and undermine a system that’s geared up to serve the elites and actively works against our hopes and aspirations.
Anarchism and the Sovereign Individual
‘All is to be doubted.’ —Descartes There’s an inherent challenge in organizing anarchists and even in defining a single philosophy of anarchism, when the concept […]
When will the real opposition emerge?
by Paul Cudenec It doesn’t surprise me in the least that Jordan Peterson and his ARC organisation are nothing more than controlled opposition, as has now […]
There’s a certain brittleness in the air
A combination of a cohort of disaffected youth, communities that feel they have been left behind and a social and political culture where certain issues can’t be openly discussed because of so called ‘sensitivities’ is a potent recipe for trouble.
‘Problem, reaction, solution’ scenarios – don’t get played!
I’m increasingly coming round to the way of thinking that those who presume to rule over us are engineering or allowing situations to develop that will generate hostile and often violent reactions. These reactions can then be used as a justification for further clampdowns on our freedoms.
Anatomy of a Philanthropath: Poem (Video)

Breaking the Spell of Violence

What Caused David Miranda’s Death?
“Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don’t dare express themselves as we did.”
—Sophie Scholl, speech in court (February 21, 1943)
It was never going to last so, we need to move on…
It took just a few days for what some thought was a growing sense of unity between disparate currents of dissent against the Covid narrative and the great reset to completely shatter along the lines of whether people support Israel or Palestine.
Dissident Dialogues: Margaret Anna Alice (Rolling: Q&A #1)
When David Josef Volodzko proposed a letter exchange with me, I realized as soon as I read his first letter that this is someone with the intellectual acuity; breadth of literary, historical, and cultural knowledge; depth of character; and sheer writing talent capable of upholding the high standard I have established for my Dissident Dialogues series.
Readings on the ever deepening weirdness we’re in
So there you have it, three readings which I hope will shed more light on why we’re in the weird situation we’re in at this point in time. Some of us saw what was coming and exited the anarchist movement. Many sadly did not see what was coming and effectively allowed themselves to be captured.
Rites of the Tear-Downers
We are at a fragile moment in the life of the Resistance, and it seems people’s nerves and judgment are fraying the longer the war wears on. Pissants scatter dispiriting remarks about like litter. Fanatical contingents accuse anyone who holds a different view of being controlled opposition. Self-righteous inquisitors feel they have the right to tell you what you should and shouldn’t write about, how you should and shouldn’t spend your time. Purported allies ambush individuals of supreme integrity.
We don’t need ‘leaders’, ‘voices’ or false idols for our revolution
Anyone who paints themselves as an ‘outsider’ while broadcasting on platforms that reach millions is taking everyone else for a mug. They’re allowed to do this because they provide a safety valve for people to rally around, under the illusion that they’re actually part of something more oppositional.
Phoney anti-fascists target the real thing
by Paul Cudenec More shocking evidence has emerged of the way in which genuine anti-system dissidents are being maliciously smeared and “cancelled” by pseudo-leftists with a […]
