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.”
