Anarchism Welcome Zone

Welcome to the only certified lib-free internet zone! Please check your colonized mind at the door and join us for a journey into creative chaos. This is an 18+ area, but I am not your mom.

In brief, anarchism is a family of philosophical, political, and personal tendencies which share an oppositional stance toward hierarchies of all sorts and a positive stance toward the joyful cooperation of like-minded folks.

This doc was made by a bunch of random friends, but it is by no means limited to them, so feel free to share, steal, and remix as desired (unless you're a fucking cop).

If your tendency/affinity or its literature is absent from the media section, please feel free to add it. It is suggested, but not strictly required, that you set your name (Discord handle or other preferred identifier) by clicking the user list (picture of people in the upper right [bottom right on mobile]) and typing in your name on the top line.

More Theory

We maintain a library of (totally legal, pinky swear) resources, including theory, fiction, and all that's in between for the budding anarchist or the jaded nihilist. The materials therein are roughly organized according to tendency to encourage browsing, but there are no particularly hard lines, so feel free to move things around.

Veganism

Treating non-human animals as commodities is difficult to justify in general leftist thought.

If you're looking for ideas on food that does not exploit animals you can visit our vegan recipe manifesto.

However, if you'd like to explore the ethical argument for veganism then we'll work on putting together some shit for you.

Have you finally read all theory, but now your muscles have begun to atrophy from maintaining your massive, theory-laden brain? We have a list of resources focused strictly on the organizational side of things, to get you into an org and out on the pavement. Material includes team building, crimesdiversity of tactics, prison support, and resources for dealing with conflict and stress.

Community Building and Voluntary Fun Department:

To promote critical consumption and camaraderie, and to stave off the ever-advancing void for just one more moment, we have a free-form area for planning and proposing group activities. Please be brave and get wild with it.
