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.
A search for some spiritual depth…
Recognising our place in nature means an awareness of the passing of the seasons and the changes that brings. It’s about the celebrations and rituals that mark the passing of the year from the winter solstice, Imbolc, the spring equinox, Beltane, through to the summer solstice and back via the autumn equinox.
The New Anarchy: Truth, Nature, Beauty and Withness
We have brought out a new 90-page pdf booklet in association with Winter Oak Press, featuring a series of in-depth written conversations between Crow Qu’appelle and Paul Cudenec. The […]
My Two-Year Stackiversary: Lattice of Coincidence + The Courage to Face the Truth
For my two-year Substack anniversary, I am publishing an essay I started last summer to accompany a guest article by Paul Cudenec. It seemed a fitting anniversary piece because it covers connections, collaborations, community, and courage—four C’s that have defined my transformative experience at Substack.
The abuse of a term
As the word ‘fascism’ been used in such a scattergun way, when actual fascism really emerges, too many people won’t recognise what’s actually going on until it’s too late.
The Great Racket
by Paul Cudenec My new book, The Great Racket: the ongoing development of the criminal global system, is a compilation of the more significant essays that I […]
The dominance of self-interest and the ruling cult of evil
I write in The Withway about the way in which our civilization has taken a seriously wrong turn and is heading away from all that is good […]
Attachment, connection and a search for meaning
Among the various currents of protest against the way the Covid situation was leveraged to accelerate the 4IR, there are those of us doing what we can to join the dots and understand what’s being done to us and why. In the process of doing that, a fair few of us have moved beyond the political labels we once had and we once, sometimes proudly, wore.
When another England seemed possible
by Paul Cudenec I am very honoured to have contributed an article to the second issue of the beautifully-produced and highly interesting Parisian “counter-history” journal brasero which is […]
Another World Exists Within Us
When we romanticise the past, are we projecting our hopes for the future on to it? Or is it a question of basing our dreams of the future on a mythologised romantic past?
SMASH VITAPHOBIA!
As part of this attack on our freedom and autonomy, vitaphobia makes us think that we are incapable of living without dependence on its “authorities”.
Multiplication Is Division
The more we attach labels to people to define them in terms of ethnicity, sexual preference or lifestyle choices, the more we risk losing sight of the essential insight that we are all human beings.
Fuck the Inquistion!
The occasional similarity in rhetoric between radical eco-anarchist thought and a certain strand of Nazi ideology has long provided a source ammunition for enemies of radical green thinking.
The Courage to Face the Truth
Most people simply cannot imagine that anyone could deliberately inflict untold misery and death on others, purely in pursuit of their own selfish goals. But it’s time to face the truth.
Anarchism = Natural Law
It is precisely because we already know true justice – in our blood, in our bones, in our guts, in our dreams – that anarchists are so revolted by the sick parody that is served up to us by the bigwigs of the state.
The Sordid History of NATO-Sponsored Terrorism
Unbeknownst to most, NATO has a long history of carrying out terrorist attacks against civilians in Western Europe.
CHOOSE YOUR FUCKING SIDE
Left and right don’t exist. If you’re on the side of the paramilitaries attacking protesters, you’re on the side of the fascists enforcing the global biosecurity state. If you’re on the side of the people opposing them, you’re on the side of freedom. Choose.
Activating the power of life
The first step is to see through its smokescreen of lies and distraction to grasp that the threat to our existence comes not from “the virus” but from the system using this as a device for its own corrupt ends.
