Feel free to delete if this is still not allowed, but there is a website to help people research the utility of Ted's ideas, and to ideally help people positively re-evaluate anarchist philosophy, as there are still a lot of people who associate anarchism with Kaczynski, even though he later...

My initial answer to some of these questions was that most anarchists aren't looking to recreate past anarchist experiments, we take comfort in experiments like people feeling more contented at worker coops, direct action groups shutting down old growth logging companies and lending support to...

I'm a left-anarchist, but I wanted to copy the questions of a bio-primitivist here who thinks the only hope for humanity is an anti-tech revolution. I'll link this post to them so they can see any answers people give and they might reply themselves or I could potentially quote some of their...

Heya mon frere, this is probably going to be a strange blast from the past, but the latest version of Steal This WIki is back up and running. I used to contribute protest site guides to the wiki in 2010, like how to build a bunch of tree houses connected by walkways, which I think gave me the...

Steal This Wiki and The Library of Unconventional Lives have turned 1 year of age. There's not much to report I don't think, just that I've enjoyed both archives existing as places I could digitize books that aren't explicitly anarchist, but that still have some value to me. So that I can...

Thanks for this! I have a big dog I'm considering touring with. I had a bad scrape coming off the bike when biking up single lane country roads with just a long extendable lead in my hand. The dog suddenly saw a pheasant then chased it and I had to keep hold of the lead as I didn't want her to...

Two essays that are worth a read: Medieval smokestacks: fossil fuels in pre-industrial times A Quick and Dirty Critique of Primitivist & Anti-Civ Thought

This is a newly restored back up of an old wiki project. From the main page: ---- WELCOME! Thanks for visiting Steal This Wiki, a collaborative update and rewrite of Abbie Hoffman's seminal work, Steal This Book. And a special welcome to readers of Little Brother, Cory Doctorow's book, which...

I should be there Wednesday morning, I bought the cheapest train ticket I could find, but it means I get into Yeovil at 10 pm on Tuesday, so I will likely sleep in the woods and hitch in the morning. Yourself?

Location just dropped: Next to Old Flaxmill, Flaxdrayton Farm, South Petherton, TA13 5LR The nearest train stations are Yeovil Junction, Crewkerne and Castle Cary. Public transport info: Train to Yeovil Pen Mill (on Bristol-Weymouth line) or Yeovil Junction (Waterloo-Exeter line) Number...

In a month from now I'm heading to the Earth First Summer Gathering in the South-West of England from Wednesday on the 31st of August, til Monday on the 5th of September. There'll be tons of people offering their first hand knowledge on current campaigns. Plus lots of skills to learn and...

I get you, I'd just suggest giving your eyes a break my friend and simply ignore some of my more specialized posts if you can see from the title that you're not concerned with what the counter arguments are aimed at. This was just a post offering arguments you can use on purist anarchists who...

Introduction There exists a way of defining left vs. right as a spectrum of political philosophies in which anarchism happens to be on the far-left. I think it would be good to use and promote this definition because… if having one more opportunity to advertise our elemental philosophical...

Much appreciated, I'm in the same position in the UK. It would be so much easier to just go through it all in the reading room. But besides going in person, if anyone who sees this would like to request scans of items from the university website and then compare notes on what we get back, just...

Added it to the list, much appreciated. It's in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but anyone can request scans of it online. Truth Versus Lies Author: Theodore John Kaczynski ISBN 10: 1893956008 ISBN 13: 9781893956001 Publisher: Context Books Date Published: 1999 It's this book that went to the...

I tried all the above besides fiverr, but nothing came of it. I'm also building a resource list of similar projects, so feel free to leave your suggestions in a reply and I'll keep updating the list :) Index Swapping Items Paperback Swap r/Scholar Trash nothing The Great British Reuse Map...

- I recently created two sub-reddits for exchanging digital items on the longshot hope that they could become as active as any other freecycle group, just rather than swapping physical items locally, we'll be swapping unique digital items internationally. So, the question arises, if you could...

The Library Information Exchange! It's a longshot idea to get off the ground, but I'm hoping this group may become as active as any other freecycle group, just rather than swapping physical items locally, we'll be swapping digital items internationally. You simply offer your services to find...

A few people liked an essay I put up here a while ago called 'a love letter to failing upward' which generated some deep responses, so here's some more of my rambling thoughts. How getting hurt as a child lead me to have a strong scepticism of unjustified authority Pretty obvious outcome I...

I made a an article which displays a series of interviews, recorded for a documentary, never finished by it’s original producers, which hoped to show anarchism in all it’s forms around the world today and in history. But, I think it succeeds even better at that task as a video catalogue for...

I just had this really great discussion on the life of Aileen Wuornos and what lessons we can take from her life to improve child care institutions :) And here's a google doc of notes I had going into the discussion...

- Short Summary A letter correspondence over many years between Aileen and her best friend from childhood Dawn was collated into a book, in the order the letters were sent. Mixed into the letters were long essays about her life on the road which she asked Dawn to keep safe encase she ever...

Yeah no for sure not. I'm vegan and just wanted to provide some arguments for if anyone who finds themself talking to a dogmatic type of vegan. There are weird ideologies that latch onto every movement, from anti-natalists, to anti-abortion-rights folk, to fascists. As far as campaigns go...

Agreed, but if you watch the video I'm responding to you'll see in the first half of my story analogy I was copying his story analogy almost word for word, just replacing pedophile cannibal ring, for genital mutilation ring. I wanted to show you can have intense disgust reactions to an evil...

If you ever feel the desire to drop some big philosophy words on the dogmatic type of vegan about how rescuing animal products from the skip is fine actually, here's some helpful advice from a pragmatic vegan leftist:

Last thing I'll post on this promise. Call out for a collective song writing tribute to Captain Hotknives A comedy song telling the story of Chris’s (Captain Hotknives) first descent into psychosis was sung one fateful night at The Secret Garden Party festival in a style similar to The Doors...

I talked to Chris (Captain Hotknives) and he said he'd find it helpful to have all his different songs listed so he could remember them all and the different versions. So for anyone else curious you can see the table of songs here: Captain Hotkinves Discography Half of the MP3 links lead to his...

No worries, there are a lot of hypotheticals because it's trying to offer some philosophical foundations people can have in the back of their mind in common arguments. Not that you would talk this way in casual conversation. Basically the idea is you start with an ideal free society and...

- A lil essay I wrote exploring the ethics of controversial tactics and providing a general framework for thinking about leftist advocacy. Let me know what you think. - Introduction to what it means to be on the far-left So first off, as socialists & anarchists, we know we...

Lovely metaphor and really nice to know the ideas resonated with you.

Failing upward is simply the concept of failing by mainstream standards and yet achieving more fulfilling outcomes in the long run. Often this is connected to a feeling of unlocking opportunities you didn’t even know existed. Power – Failing to take every opportunity to lead from the front...

I reckoned people here would get a kick out of this great comedian from the UK. He's entertained at many a campaign benefit and is one of the old school open cast coal protesters. Mixing folk, ska, punk, bluegrass and pop paradies. I’ve been compiling a library of comedians content to be able...

Much appreciated OtterWolf, and I really liked when you said "the path which I will be taking will be very beneficial to my well-being, and to those that I may come in contact with." That's all life should be about at the end of the day. The internet is a funny place. There's foraging groups on...

I’ve finished for the most part building 2 large spreadsheets of resources that can be found using a simple gps navigator. The idea being a GPS navigator will have the advantage over a smart phone of having a long battery life and not relying on internet access. I made this for my planned cycle...

Thanks Bryan, happy to get your take on a fuller list. I'm still using a mountain bike atm as I'm saving up and looking out for a good second hand touring bike, so I expect this list to change to the bike I end up settling on also: Basic toolkit: Fold-up hex wrench screwdriver, pump, tire...

What are some resources people would like to see mapped? Every time I walk the dog I wish farmers would have mapped which field their animals were in so I could plan which way to go and be able to let the dog off to have fun chasing squirrels. So what are some of your most absurd idealistic...

All are free to read online and most are free to download to save/print or purchasable to deliver. Sprout Distro used to do these great anarchist zine round ups each month. They've gotten more irregular now, but I made a full list of periodicals here, so just thought to post the most recent...

Planning for a cycle tour next summer and working through all those unanswerable quandries. Like for example on whether I should get an add-on e-bike kit, I figure the first big tour I do in a while I'll enjoy the fitness challenge more for me if I don't have the distraction of knowing at times...

Preview of a directory on me website, full article shows 3 hyperlinked video titles, under each youtuber title, plus profile picture next to it: Anarchist/Socialist Video Channels. Suggestions super welcome. (Breadtube is a popular sub-reddit whose name is based on the classical anarchist...

Do you mean a list of links for further reading at the end of each wiki article? Went searching and made a list for me website, I'm sure I've missed a bunch, so be cool to know ones you find useful to use. That would be fab! I'll link the first draft here when it's ready. I've made pamphlets...

You can get website extensions which put a download button under the youtube video. Search on bandcamp to support the artist and get a listed discography. On last.fm you can go to the bands page and click a button to listen to similar artists. Reddit has a folkpunk sub-reddit mostly for joking...

A lot of people do cite the environment as their reason for going vegan though, myself included. My primary motivating reason isn't simply reduce the harm to animals and damage they cause to the environment, but by reducing our land use, increase the amount of wild animal life and flourishing in...

ibuzzard what you quoted was zielum suggesting to me to add a section discussing joint activism vegans and environmentalists can do together. There's a take back the land camp going on now in the UK to raise the issue of flooding due to over crowded sheep farming and moorland burning for grouse...

For sure, I will have to get round to writing this. Beyond joint perspective of climate change is bad, there are just so many environmental battles to try to reduce down into a few paragraphs, like fossil feul planning applications, land use and species extinction, etc. Definitly there are a...

So just writing these wiki pages, having a think about ways to interest leftists in animal liberation campaigns and visa versa. Can let me know what you think or critique me on any challenges I may have overlooked. I especially loved researching the history of horse drawn travel and working...

Much appreciated Matt :) I'll let you know if I can help out with the library in the future, I want to move all my links to downloadable zines from wordpress to archive.org because it doesn't track users IPs, so when I get round to that it could be a good time to help out with both. These are...

Hey all, Had the idea of drawing up this list for traveling, so that I could get a feel for the culture of a place and also the campaign struggles the people face. Most are available to stream online so I can learn more before I go or deciding where to go, while others are a local only treat...
