anarchism

What does it take to resist in absolutely futile and overwhelming situations? This book recounts resistance actions of prisoners inside German World War II concentration camps, those who resisted against impossible odds because the human spirit is capable of translating feelings of hopelessness...

This book is great, highly recommend

where does it stand, and what are your views on it. after getting locked in a boxcar in 2019 my views changed in life, after almost dying from heat exhaustion and thirst i prayed to god and someone heard me and let me out without any trespassing tickets. am I the only one? has anyone else had a...

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...

2022 zine on mobilizing support for homeless individuals during cold weather. Includes a step by step on how to organize.

https://stealthiswiki.com/special/index Throughout the 1960's and 70's, Abbie Hoffman criss-crossed the country, ferreting out alternative ways of getting by in America—some illegal and all radical. Causing scandals with its advice on how to Survive!, Fight!, and Liberate! in the “prison that...

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...

Well I hope its cool if I share this information, I had just stumbled across it after watching Hold Fast and got really excited. I would love to go although I am not yet a boat owner. Anyone wanting to make the journey and would like to link up I would love to attend... " Come all bold and...

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 am bored as fuck anybody talk to me about anything please.

Hola Amigos Welcome to OUR book club and discussion group. To be simple on rules, be respectful. I understand political discussion can get heated but attempt to understand before we delve into an attack. We are also not all liberal altruist's, so take that in mind. Okay, as chosen by one of our...

Hey, I was motivated by another thread. I believe that the worst thing a person can have is a settled opinion, and I would like to start a reading discussion group that shakes our settled philosophies. I am an anarchist, my anarchist philosophy is my own , a development of life experience and...

Here's a piece I wrote on "living anarchy" through what I call "Lifestylism". While my thoughts on the matter have changed somewhat I think others here may find this interesting. an especially important aspect for me in traveling has been rooted in being able to live my politics and not work for...

Hi there. I'm Kinto, your friendly neighborhood anarchist from northern Germany. I finished school earlier this year and now I'm trying to find another way than the one capitalism tries to impose on me. I also try to organize and get into activism, which is kinda hard atm since I still live in a...

Looks like they really put together a lot of content despite not being able to gather. There's gonna be live talks for three days, international anarchist films streamed online, live art pieces. Starts at 11am Eastern time https://anarchistbookfair.net/events/ Wasn't sure if I should post this...

Problems are something we give to ourselves to give our egos something to make us feel we have to confront and let eat us up inside over time, but I have realized thats not what problems are actually for. They are our signal that changes to our circumstances have arrived and its time to adapt...

I’m turning 40 in a few days (eeep!). I’ve been in a stable location (New Jersey) and career (Tattooing) for years now and I’ve been missing both the freedom of travel (I’ve bicycled halfway across the u.s. and done various wwoofing/volunteering jobs) and the sense of community that I once had...

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...

Hey there! I'm pretty new to learning about this political philosophy. So far, I've read through about half of The Conquest of Bread. I'm wondering if there's any consensus on which anarchists texts are most important/first reads. I know anarchism played a pretty significant role in workers'...

As a resident of Alberta under a reactionary gov't which has enacted savage cuts to public service funding, I am deeply interested in taking direct action, the kind that makes suits quiver (also the positive, uplifting stuff such as starting a food collective, etc.). Yet, to publicly announce a...

known about stp for a fat minute, but just now joining we are joining stp with the intention of finding folks with the generosity to offer us some good 'ol @ist hospitality, and to return that favor to the world. Us three: haden (writing), felix, and oak are trying to form a life in common and...

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION!!! I follow a page called Dosed the movie on Instagram. It's a page about a documentorie movie that sombody made about psilocybin mushrooms. It was first released in Denver just prior to the decriminalization of psilocybin. they are now continuing to show the movie...

Beyond Sqaut or Rot: Anarchist Approaches to housing. As someone who has spent a considerable portion of my life fascinated by co-housing and/or coop housing and has visited many variants of such, Im quite surprised that I have never read this.

Come through bumblefuck Wisconsin for this https://325.nostate.net/2019/01/08/usa-green-scare-anarchist-bookfair-call-for-bandmusic-project-submissions/

We should be allowed to sleep under all shelters that are not where people sleep inside of unless we have gotten their permission. (Store fronts, pavilions, play grounds, etc) We should be allowed to live under all bridges as long as we mostly respect the land and all people who will walk past...

Where to begin? I'm an immature, but kind person. I have difficulty owning up to my mistakes, and I don't deal with stress as well as others. I've never been able to hold a job for more than 3 months, and my anxiety attacks make me feel like I just got done running 3 miles. I'm hoping that I...

By the edge of the New Orleans French Quarter, there's a pair of abandoned buildings built next to each other. One is a small two-story business building; the other a pretty sizable shop floor. Both, as one would expect, had their windows boarded and their doors locked with iron gates. That...

I decided to give this strange/awesome site a chance in hopes of meeting some rad folks while I'm out on the road. I'm passing through Fort Collins CO area until about June, so if your in the area, are cool, and want to hang out hit me up. I've been traveling, squatting, and what not since I was...

My travelling band of misfits is going to be headed down to Georgia end of May (we'll be there the 25th and 26th of May before heading to Florida) I was curious if there were any local folks anywhere in the state who would want to throw a lil folk punk show and hang out and play some music!! We...

I thought this song was pretty amusing, so I figured I would share it here.

Hey all, thought this might be a good place to connect with people putting anarchist methods of dealing with justice into practice. I've done a fair bit of reading on the subject, but always looking for more resources, so any recommendations for readings are welcome! I'm also interested in...

I'm still around, and I use this site every once in a blue moon, still living in the eastern part of Pennsytucky, bit cold currently but soon summer will be creeping in, so I was wondering who the heck I could find to chill and party with, and hopefully make some friends in Arizona...

Undoubtedly, if you've ever debated -- virtually or in person -- a statist, you'd be well aware of the rigid, stubborn, non-arguments their full of. 1: Who will build the roads! Answer = the same damn people. A society having a perceived "authority" has nothing to do with roads being built...

So my personal thoughts on people who don't like politics or don't like getting involved in thier communities is they are highly privileged, there are people dying every day in the Capitalist state we live in due to dying in the cold or dying due to the lack of food. In this world, it's not...

So I've been trying to understand anarcho pacifism for awhile now. I honestly don't understand it, for one..to actually successfully have a peaceful, non violent revolution your enemies would have to have a soul and feel bad. the government doesn't feel bad when they order drone strikes against...

If you've been curious about unplugging from normal society and seeing what it's like to travel the open road, you probably did some searching and somehow or another ended up here on the Squat the Planet (StP) website. This website has a ton of useful information; if you're willing to dig long...

hey guys, im a 19 year old kid just out of school looking to grow as a person by exploring new environments and cultures before i begin college. i want to move out of Dublin as soon as possible, and am afraid to do so without a solid place to sleep in as im new to the scene. i would love to find...

A recent discussion caught my interest on Libcom.org, a Marxist and Anarchist resource, about communication. These guys are amazing. They are the only ones I can tell that is doing a serious examination of there style of writing and outreach, and how effective (or not) it is. They are trying to...

We are living in a world where everything has "monetary" value. Everything. Appreciation for our world is nearly dead. Resources get wasted at alarming rates and everyone is too attached to the television, internet, video games, and work to do anything about it. Or to even do the thinking...

10:00am – 6pm Saturday, September 16, 2017 Oakland, CA http://bayareaanarchistbookfair.com/

Hey Y'all, I'm not entirely sure where this discussion should take place so Culture seemed like a catch all. In your experience and travels have you found, or know of anywhere that is a comparable to Greenwich Village or Tangier Morocco in their heyday? Peace out y'all, Stephen Asheville NC

I mean I don't mind being the only working class anarchist I know. I just see so many people who would benefit from it and I think they just screw themselves over because they're too scared to take risks. So instead they act subservient to a system that is actively screwing them over and most of...

I just finished my Slabsterpiece today! Enjoy an inside look at life in the apocalypse!!

The Melbourne Anarchist Book Fair is coming up :) I went last year and it's a pretty rad event with heaps of tables with books, zines, patches, etc and some cool workshops, and good food. It was awesome as I had just arrived in the city a few weeks before so it was a great way to meet folks and...

As many folks here know, I have been posted up in the squatter town of Slab City for almost three whole years, running and working on the library. I've been through a lot of fucked up situations. People trying to steal my stuff, trespassing in my home, multiple people threatening to hurt and/or...
