Subjugated Dreams: On The Appeal of the Authoritarian Left Among Generation Z

From back cover:

“It is important to remember that anarchist analysis does not derive from an starting point of political economy, it is first and foremost an analysis that originates from a critical analysis of power itself. The conclusion of its analysis is the will towards social and/or individual transformation, not the narrow Marxian view of class struggle…Power manifests itself in every aspect of our world. The anarchist struggle of the 21st century is not one of class or even of the state alone; it is of war against society itself. As such, an anarchist opposition to power is not only an opposition to the dominant power but also, as Gustavo Rodriguez recently reminded us, opposition to those which seek to merely substitute roles.

Raging Questions on Lost Wildness

From back cover:

“Did a transition toward exploiting animals correlate to a transition in habitat spread from tropical and sub-tropical to seasonal climates inhospitable to wild humans? Did this change necessitate exploiting other animals for survival (consuming them, wearing their fur, paradoxically fashioning animals’ dead body parts into weapons to keep killing more animals, etc.)? Could it be that human transition to hunting is a major factor shaping our physical and nature-connection evolution, turning our species more predatory and colonizing? How did and does human attempts to survive outside natural habitat equate to becoming a parasitic species, and what are potential paths for returning to our nativity? Until answers to these questions emerge, might the most reconnecting innate path, ‘giving back’ in lieu of ‘taking from’ via restoring wild habitat, reawaken our dormant wild senses and compassion for other animals and Earth?”

Intoxication Culture: A Straight Edge Anarchist Critique


From back cover:

As much as I value destruction toward the creation of joyful rebellion, I refuse the self-destruction created by intoxication culture – a form of self-destruction driven by the inherent power imbalance between an individual and the (mental and physical) demands of a chemical addiction. I refuse to surrender myself to consuming alcohol, smoking weed or cigarettes, and drug use because of their notoriety for maintaining controlling relationships with their consumers. Whatever benefits they may offer me are not worth the risk of my relationship with them turning from casual to life-long control and abuse. Because at the end of the day who uses who? Does an individual use the drug? (Or the bottle or cigarette?) Or do these vices use the individual – slowly increasing one’s dependency over time and therefore increasing one’s desperation for the money to continue purchasing them. Is it not the drug that punishes the individual with withdrawal symptoms when that individual tries to leave the relationship? Does the alcohol not demand involvement in one’s attempt to enjoy an evening at home after work? To socialize? To make new friends, or even make love? How often does nicotine successfully coerce one to stand outside in freezing weather to take a puff – or in some cases search the ground for half-used cigarettes discarded by strangers?

Total sobriety provides me razor-sharp clarity and connection to my emotions, keeping my senses engaged at all times. All the pain and misery in life experienced without a filter is a firm reminder of the world I live in and the reality of its industrialized atrocities. I prefer this harsh clarity. I prefer supreme control over my mind and body because that power and control belongs to no other than myself. Just as I’d never give such power to cops, capitalists, the Church, or politicians, I’d never give it to a culture dictated by the commands of chemical addiction.

Anarchy and Nihilism: Consequences


From back cover:

“If there are no castle walls because domination has found a way to succeed without necessarily materializing, then our project no longer looks like a siege. If virtualization has become part and parcel of the dominance matrix then single points of attack are no longer effective. There is no letter bomb large enough…

…Institutions, ideologies, systems, schools, family, capital, government and revolutionary movements have all developed beyond the body. Nihilist anarchism isn’t concerned with a social revolution that adds a new chapter to an old history but the ending of history altogether. If not revolutionaries then possibly epochanaries, for the transformation of society without a positive program.”
