Just a guy in his mid 40s running out of hope. Anti-Fascist, lover of books, politics, anarchism and poetry. Looking for signs that we have any way of fighting back. Crippling anxiety means not using real name or photo

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

The complicity of the Communist Party of Nepal in the massacre that catalyzed this revolt should remind all aspiring revolutionaries that even if you have "communist" in the name of your party, you won't be able to solve the problems of capitalism simply by wielding the violence of the state.
There's No Such Thing as Revolutionary Government
You can’t abolish class society without abolishing the asymmetry between ruler and ruled. That means abolishing the state.

Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.

The ruling class owns the press, the schools, the algorithms.
Their greatest theft is not our labour, but our imagination of what is possible.

Historical anarchist theory often makes me think about the importance of neurodiversity. They wanted to build a society in which everyone can be themselves, rather than masking in order to fit in and be 'normal'.

Just a post to send out my love to all who are frightened right now. You are braver and stronger than you know. Talk to like minded people, create and provide mutual aid to each other and do not give in to the fear, it is their most powerful weapon. You are on the right side of history. #resistance

Giuseppe Fanelli, an Italian revolutionary and associate of Bakunin, visited Spain in 1868.
His meetings in Barcelona and Madrid with workers sparked the largest anarchist movement in Europe.
I'm sure Giuseppe felt he was up against the odds too.
