Вульгарный анархо-коммунизм: что скрывает левое единство
Spooky, Vulgar Anarcho-Communism: What Left Unity Conceals, March 8 2021. Перевёл Артём Чернышёв. [Послушайте подробное обсуждение этой статьи и её тем в этом выпуске The Enragés] Если вы работаете над каким-либо проектом — политическим или любым другим — вы будете сотрудничать с людьми, с которыми вы не согласны.

Vulgar Anarcho-Communism: What Left Unity Conceals
[Hear an in-depth discussion on this article and its topics in this episode of The Enragés] If you work on any project — political or otherwise — you’re going to be collaborating with folks you don’t agree with. Marxists, democratic socialists, and left-leaning liberals might have your back on a picket line or protest, and…
Why Are the “Adults in the Room” So Awful?
It’s common among centrists to describe themselves — in contrast to the “far Left” and “far Right” — as the “rational adults” who can compromise and get things done. The “rational adult” trope usually appears in conjunction with “Horseshoe Theory,” according to which wisdom and reasonableness inhere in the political center and deviation from the…
The Individualization of Labor Problems
Lysander Spooner wraps up his 1875 pamphlet Vices Are Not Crimes with, [T]he poverty of the great body of mankind, the world over, is the great problem of the world. That such extreme and nearly universal poverty exists all over the world, and has existed through all past generations, proves that it originates in causes which the…
Apêndice: O Período Axial
Karl Jaspers cunhou a expressão “Era Axial” para descrever deslocamento disseminado e fundamental em valores éticos que ocorreu em certo número de sociedades em meados do primeiro milênio antes da era comum – BCE. Incluiu a ascensão da filosofia grega, o budismo, o zoroastrismo e o movimento profético de Judá e Israel. Todos esses desdobramentos…

It included the rise of Greek philosophy, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and the prophetic movement of…
Guerra Ideológica: Ensinamentos Para Nós
James Scott descreve o fenômeno geral como “jiujitsu simbólico.” Movimentos proféticos rebeldes em espaços não estatais “apropriam-se de poder, mágica, emblemas e insígnias e carisma institucionais do estado do vale numa espécie de jiujitsu simbólico a fim de atacar o estado.” [145] E o jiujitsu simbólico tem-se tornado especialmente importante nas guerras ideológicas dos séculos 20 e…

Exemplos Históricos
Scott argumenta que a religião popular — ou “catolicismo popular” — da Europa cristã, longe de atender a interesses dos em autoridade/com influência, era praticado e interpretado de maneiras que amiúde defendiam os direitos de propriedade dos camponeses, contestavam grandes diferenças de riqueza, e até proporcionavam algo de ideologia milenária com significado implícito revolucionário. Em…

A Ideologia Oficial Parasitária das Crenças dos Dominados
Scott porém não vai longe o bastante. Vai longe demais em sublinhar a dependência de ideologias de resistência de conteúdo recuperado de ideologias de dominação, e em seguida negligencia o inverso. Por definição, temos tornado a transcrição pública da dominação ontologicamente anterior à transcrição oculta, invisível à plateia. O resultado de assim fazermos é enfatizar…

Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Scott does not go far enough, however. He goes too far in stressing the dependence of ideologies of resistance on recuperated content from ideologies of domination, and then neglects the reverse. By definition, we have made the public transcript of domination ontologically…
Religião como Parte de Fenômeno Mais Amplo: Ideologia
Recuando de novo e assumindo visão mais panorâmica, a questão religiosa é parte de fenômeno ainda mais amplo: a recuperação dos símbolos e valores da ideologia legitimizadora da classe dominante, e a inversão da ideologia dominante como arma contra o sistema de poder existente. Quando uma classe dominante cria uma ideologia legitimadora, ela, nessa medida…
Religion As Part Of A Larger Phenomenon: Ideology
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Stepping back again and taking a more panoramic view, the religious case is part of an even larger phenomenon: the recuperation of the symbols and values of the ruling class’s legitimizing ideology, and the inversion of the dominant ideology as a weapon against…

Zomias Por Toda Parte
A Comunidade Islandesa, assentada desproporcionadamente por pequenos detentores em fuga de crescentes imposições do rei e da nobreza, era uma população zomiana com a qual muitos libertários estão familiarizados. Os assentamentos islandeses descritos nas Sagas tiveram lugar numa época na qual reis da Escandinávia continental “estavam aumentando sua autoridade a expensas dos direitos tradicionais dos…

Os Filhos de Israel
Há algum tempo vem sendo consenso entre historiadores do Israel primevo que a completa conquista de Canaã e os resultantes domínios tribais descritos no Livro de Josué foi anacrônica — uma projeção no passado de um estado de coisas geográfico que só existiu depois que a monarquia havia derrotado os filisteus e a população israelita…
