Stories of Total Liberation Volume 2

From back cover:

When we speak of Total Liberation, we are very upfront and honest about what we mean: We encourage all anarchists – the individuals who question authority and go to war with cops and fascists in the streets, to connect with the vegans who utilize tactical diversity to speak out, disrupt, liberate, and fight tirelessly against the everyday violence of human supremacy. And we encourage all of these same anarchists and vegans to connect with the straight edge individuals – the ones who’d rather reclaim and weaponize their minds and bodies against chemical escape than make the CEOs of the alcohol and tobacco industry richer.

Authority demands that we remain silent, civilized, and law abiding in order for capitalists to continue profiting from turning our bodies into individualized graveyards for slaughtered animals and dumpsters for their intoxicating chemical vices. We have two choices in life: compliance or resistance. Do we stand on the sidelines or in the streets? Some of us have made our decision:

A life of rebellion against the death machine.
No matter how hopeless, defiance over defeat.

Stories of Total Liberation (A collection of personal stories written by vegan, straight edge anarchists)


From back cover:

What is a political label or identity if not just another number within a sea of political categories?

In moving from politics to anarchy, one actualizes revolt beyond the realm of theory. Language itself often fails to capture the fluidity of life in motion – the transformation of one’s desire for freedom into material action.

To refuse both intoxication culture and the collective normalization of human supremacy is to rewild an internalized domestication responsible for determining one’s view and treatment of others. Without the guidance of politicians or patience for any future revolution, total liberation means obtaining freedom here and now – led by a burning desire to destroy the immediate ideological mechanisms of one’s confinement.

The present is all we have.

Even without hope we continue to fight.

We weaponize our minds and bodies against all cages – including those designed to subordinate our perception of reality.

We know that no authority can ever give us freedom – so we create our own by reclaiming our lives.

Without taking action, words become nothing more than empty political rhetoric in the graveyard of history.

Why Break Windows by Armeanio Lewis

From back cover:

“And this is where the anarchist reaction diverges from the simple reaction. As anarchist, we take things further. We are radical, rebellious, iconoclastic, nihilistic individuals who’s only goal is the destruction of which destroys us. Capitalism, White Supremacy, Patriarchy, all of these apparatuses of domination that aim to control us, that expect us to submit. They are not met by a simple proclamation of againstness but a swift and decisive action that not only proclaims but shocks those in power. From the simple smashing of windows to the placement of a bomb or the robbing of the bank our actions are heard and felt rather than ignored and treated as everyday life.”
