Por Nathan Goodman. Fuente: Does Anarchism Conflict With Human Nature? 24 octubre 2020. Traducido por Diego Avila. “Sé lo suficiente sobre la naturaleza humana para saber que él [anarquismo] es un concepto ingenuamente defectuoso.” “La anarquía es una hermosa idea, pero entra en conflicto con la naturaleza humana”. Los anarquistas están acostumbrados a escuchar objeciones…

When hammer falls, and nail is driven deep in vein, piercing those with hands to heaven, a raging flow of protest stirs, and the dam’s crack promises an empire’s dust. Tyrants fear, as the heart reclaims fallen blood its own, never again owed or again stolen, never to be the red in crime scene canvas,…

Di Eric Fleischmann. Originale pubblicato il 23 ottobre 2020 con il titolo No Really, What is Anarchism? Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. L’articolo seguente è stato pubblicato originariamente su The Bates Student. Le parole “anarchico” e “anarchismo” si riaffacciano nel gergo politico del ventunesimo secolo. Cito da un mio precedente articolo pubblicato sul Center for a…

The terms ‘anarchist’ and ‘anarchism’ are returning to the center stage of political lingo in the twenty-first century. To quote my own article on Center for a Stateless Society: President Donald Trump has repeatedly attempted to associate Black Lives Matter with anarchists and anarchism. He has tweeted such threatening posts as just the phrase “Anarchists, we see…

Joining us today is Aria DiMezzo. Aria is a candidate running for sheriff in Cheshire County in New Hampshire as a Republican. Even though, at first glance, it may seem odd we have a Republican candidate for sheriff on our anarchist show, you’ll soon be able to shed light unto this mystery. Aria is neither…

O Facebook está de volta nisso novamente. Em consequência do comício Unite the Right em Charlottesville alguns anos atrás, e devido a muita pressão de ativistas, o Facebook respondeu com uma onda de proibições e censura de “extremistas raciais” que foi tão ampla e simultaneamente ineficaz que literalmente muitos supremacistas brancos puderam continuar falando besteiras,…

The fundamental tenet of anarchism is the resistance to an Archos, Greek for “master.” To advocate for anarchism is to position oneself in opposition to a master, i.e., to claim the fundamental right of self-determination, autonomy, and freedom from a centralized system of (especially coercive) control. To act anarchically simply means to act independently of…

We at C4SS are excited to announce that we will be attending the 2020 NYC Anarchist Book Fair, which is being held virtually this year due to the pandemic.

Pode existir tal coisa como um “anarquista conservador”? Sim, como acontece com qualquer etiqueta política mais ampla – socialista, democrata, libertário, a lista cresce todos os dias enquanto a extrema-direita se tenta apropriar do vocabulário de outras tendências. Hoje em dia, podemos identificar-nos com quaisquer valores que queiramos, é esta a base de muitas das…

Pode um anarquista ser socialmente conservador? Sim. Não vejo qualquer razão pela qual alguém que seja anti-aborto ou tenha uma perspectiva fundamentalista sobre o sexo ou as drogas não possa ser anarquista. O anarquismo tem a ver com a construção de uma sociedade na qual ninguém force as suas crenças sobre terceiros. Desde que respeitemos…

In his book Total Freedom: Toward a Dialectical Libertarianism, Chris Matthew Sciabarra makes the astute observation that  “[j]ust as relations of power operate through ethical, psychological, cultural, political, and economic dimensions, so too the struggle for freedom and individualism depends upon a certain constellation of moral, psychological, and cultural factors.” This is something that Dakota…

Facebook is back at it again. In the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville a few years back, and with much pushing from activists, Facebook responded with a wave of bans and censorship of “racial extremists” that was so wide-reaching and simultaneously ineffective that many literal white supremacists were able to continue…

“The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.” – Max Stirner On August 19th, 2020, Facebook finally buckled under immense social and political pressure and announced new content moderation rules focusing on “violent organizations and individuals,” specifically “offline anarchist groups that support violent acts amidst protests, US-based militia organizations [which…

Di Logan Marie Glitterbomb. Originale: Does Anarchism Skirt the Calculation Problem? pubblicato il 13 luglio 2020. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Qualcuno si sorprenderà, ma a differenza di molti anarchici del mercato liberato di C4SS, non sono un anarchico di mercato per via della questione del calcolo economico. Credo ovviamente che la questione del calcolo economico…

Ayn Rand escreveu que “Fascismo, Nazismo, Comunismo e Socialismo são apenas variações superficiais do mesmo tema monstruoso – o coletivismo”. No entanto, acho que isso deve ser mudado para refletir todas as formas que o coletivismo, o inimigo da liberdade, pode assumir. Essa nova máxima seria “Fascismo, Nazismo, Comunismo, Socialismo de Estado e Capitalismo são…
