Our new police abolition essay "Kick the Cops off Your Block" is now available on substack. This essay gives an analysis of the police, many alternatives to the police, and ways to get to a world without hierarchical security forces and what they enforce

#Authority begets authority. Left to its own devices, authority will swallow up entire societies and everything in them.

Introduce "just a small amount" of authority, and it will create more authority to preserve its own existence, which will create more authority to create its own existence, which will create more...

An authority structure cannot be checked by anything from within the structure. Such a "check" would threaten the continued existence of the authority, while requiring the authority in order to function. They must be dismantled by the parts of the #society that they have not yet incorporated into themselves.

The hierarchies of our lives have hold of a great many aspects of our society, but not quite everything. They hide it well, often in plain sight, while attacking and threatening it with all their might. They meet #resistance every step of the way, and sometimes the resistance wins. We need to find these places and hold fast to them.

I don't believe that it's possible to totally and permanently eradicate #hierarchy. But I do believe that it's possible for anarchist #revolution to succeed, to reclaim society from hierarchy, to live free from its grasp and flourish as a society like never even imagined before while doing it. But hierarchy will always be a part of our #historical #memory, and its return in new forms will always be a threat to be vigilant of. Even a fully anarchist #world without a single #state or #capitalist #enterprise would still be an evolving, open, revolutionary world, in active defiance of hierarchy, if it is to remain free. This is the message of #TheDispossessed, by #UrsulaKLeGuin.

This is a must read for anyone interested in degrowth:

So what exactly am I supposed to do with this brain and body bc I'm only "allowed" to do so much. #society #hierarchy #Capitalism #ThisWorld #nooffense

#Pacifism only works if the opposition is also committed to pacifism.

It doesn't work against #capitalism, or the #state, or #fascism, or #ecocide, or #hierarchy in general. They are all committed to #violence.

One value, multiple principles. One principle, multiple practices. That's how we drill down from the abstract to the specific in the 10x software engineering system. #SoftwareEngineering #10xPrinciple #Hierarchy

Southern US English speaking people, especially Black folks /older generations, do this more than younger folks. *There is a mix of friendliness within an acknowledged social hierarchy.* Cuz or cousin, auntie, uncle, bruh or brotha, sis or sistah, honey, sugar, baby girl, sweetheart even for people unrelated by blood.

We're getting close to the end of the Speculative Fiction Studies series on Philip K Dick's The Man In The High Castle. This is the last of the character studies, this one on Robert Childan, the antiquities dealer!

The hierarchy within the gay community is like the elephant in the room. But instead of an elephant, it’s a neon-dressed, feather boa-toting drag queen who’s death-dropping right in front of you.

Something that's been on my mind for a while:

Yes, there is an overwhelming amount of violence being done by the capitalist colonial cisheteropatriarchal hierarchical state system. Yes, we as individuals can only be aware of the tip of the iceberg. Yes, what we do to resist, what we see others doing to resist, is small in impact and won't be enough.

But there's so, so much more resistance going on, by millions of anarchists all around the world, that we'll never know about as individuals. Accumulations of small things, spontaneous things, as well as organized, sustained, revolutionary efforts by anarchists whose names we'll never know. And we won't always ever see the impacts they're having on the world, either, especially if it's in a community far away. But even in you own community, you might not know what other anarchists are doing if it's not safe for them to be public about it. Every time we learn about a new movement or action, it's proof: our experience of resistance, too, is necessarily the tip of the iceberg. On it's own, your or my spreading of radical understanding, guerrilla gardening the neighborhood, or building a mutual aid system isn't going to end domination and establish an anarchist society. But the sum total of everyone's actions of resistance over time, developed into a plurality of cohesive revolutionary struggles, might very well.

This is not an excuse to do nothing, and leave everything to everyone else. This is a reason to do something, and know that there's real hope. So, instead of resigning myself to doomerist thinking about the trajectory of the world, I'm choosing to be inspired by my comrades I'll never get to know about. And, I'm choosing to do what I can to learn about revolutionary struggles I don't know much about, and lend my support in whatever ways I can, while resisting in my own community however I can.

Budgets that burst with oil, crude gas in purse. No compassion, common criminals seek asylum.
Concrete pillow, Exxon dreams, hidden #hierarchy. No one in power taking blame."
