    Questions from a bio-primitivist on how do social anarchists hope to maintain positive liberties?

    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...

    Two anarchy related archives have reached their one year anniversary!

    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...

    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...

    If you could get a random person from anywhere in the world to perform a simple task that also involves getting a digital file, what would it be?

    - 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.
