“What economists call overproduction is but a production that is above the purchasing power of the worker, who is reduced to poverty by capital and state.” - Kropotkin

There can be no hierarchy without violence.

There can be no exploitation without violence.

There can be no suppression without violence.

There can be no censorship without violence.

There can be no domination without violence.

“The state's behavior is violence, and it calls its violence 'law'; that of the individual, 'crime.'" - Max Stirner

My latest for @counterpunch is up today: “Practitioners and theoreticians of anarchism have always been sensitive to these ambiguities, attending to the contradictions contained within ideas of property, competition, and economic freedom.”

There always seems to be lots of half-baked and amateur pathologizing of the social/political radical, and this has re-emerged in another shape as mainstream Americans attempt to understand social phenomena such as radical antifascism, etc. Almost none of such “analysis” has much of a relationship to reality, I’d suppose, but we who may be lumped together in this category of radicals are certainly a type. I’ve never felt at home in this world; it has always seemed deeply alien to me, bound so deeply to social practices that just don’t make sense to me. Ever since I was a kid, it seemed clear to me that so many of the social pretenses to which we carefully tend are hiding monstrous practices. My friends in low places have been typically more thoughtful and insightful about this than my friends in high places, for reasons that will probably be obvious to anyone reading this. Anyway, apologies for the random though.
