“If we have never called ourselves #insurrectionists, it is not because we do not wish for #insurrection, but because our own temperament predisposes us to an #anarchism without adjectives. The important thing is to fight for #freedom and against hierarchy; we imagine that this will #demand different approaches in different situations, and that these approaches may need one another to succeed. We are #anarchosyndicalists on the shop floor, green anarchists in the woods, social anarchists in our #communities, individualists when you catch us alone, #anarchocommunists when there’s something to share, insurrectionists when we strike a blow. #Anarchism without adjectives not only refuses to prioritize one approach over the others, but emphasizes the importance of each aspect of anarchism to its supposed opposites. The riot needs the bake sale to be repeatable; the arson needs the public campaign to be intelligible; the supermarket heist needs the neighborhood grocery distribution to pass on the goods. All dichotomies are false dichotomies to some extent, masking not only the common threads between the terms but also the other dichotomies one might experiment with instead. On close inspection, successful insurrectionism seems to depend so much on “community building” and even “lifestyle anarchism” as to be virtually indistinguishable in practice. If we retired this particular distinction, what other distinctions might arise in its place? What other questions might we ask?” :antifa_100:
