Spooky, Vulgar Anarcho-Communism: Pacifying Anti-Statism, June 26 2020. Перевёл Артём Чернышёв. [Послушайте подробное обсуждение этой статьи и её тем в этом выпуске The Enragés] Радикальные позиции всегда трудно продать. В какой-то степени это неотъемлемый аспект отстаивания любой альтернативной системы социальной организации, вместо того чтобы просто предлагать реформы и «двухпартийные решения». Некоторые, возможно, слишком многие, пытаются…

Okumak üzere olduğunuz makale, Jeff Riggenbach tarafından kaleme alınmış ’ye çevrilmiştir. 8 Ağustos 2015 tarihinde “Why I Am a Left Libertarian” başlığı altında yayınlanmıştır. Liberteryenlerin birçoğu geleneksel Sol/Sağ politik spektrumun anlamsız ve faydasız olduğunu söylemektedir. Fakat bu söylemin onlara doğru görünmesinin tek nedeni politik sahtekarlık ve belki de politik tarih konusunda zayıf bir geçmişe sahip…

Oleh: Ryan Neugebauer. Teks aslinya berjudul “An Evolving Anarchism.” Diterjemahkan oleh Ameyuri Ringo. Anarkisme, bagi saya, bukanlah tentang “hasil akhir” melainkan lebih tentang etika dan pandangan-pandangan tertentu. Ia haruslah menolak gagasan tentang “final” dan sebaliknya, menekankan pentingnya proses pencarian tanpa akhir untuk menciptakan dunia yang lebih baik. Proses ini sangat bertentangan dengan Komunisme, yang telah…

Ni Spooky. Orihinal na artikulo: Vulgar Anarcho-Communism: Pacifying Anti-Statism, Hunyo 26, 2020. Salin ni Raj. Mahirap ibenta ang pakikibaka. Kadalasan, dala din naman ito ng mga panawagan para baguhin nag sistema, di lang sa pagmumungkahi ng “pagbabago” at simpleng pagboto. Mayroong iba—pero baka mas marami pa—na sinubukang palambutin yung talas ng pulitika nila. Kadalasan pinopomada…

Di Spooky. Originale pubblicato il 28 giugno 2020 con il titolo Vulgar Anarcho-Communism: Pacifying Anti-Statism. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. È difficile far passare proposte estreme. Le reazioni sono per certi versi scontate quando, invece di limitarsi a riforme e a “soluzioni condivise”, si propone una diversa organizzazione della società. Alcuni, forse troppi, hanno cercato di…

[Hear an in-depth discussion on this article and its topics in this episode of The Enragés] Radical positions are always a hard sell. To some extent, this is an inherent aspect of advocating any alternative system of social organization, instead of just proposing reform and “bipartisan solutions.” Some, perhaps too many, have attempted to dull…

Di Ryan Neugebauer. Originale pubblicato il 13 luglio 2017 con il titolo An Evolving Anarchism. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Per me l’anarchismo riguarda più un’etica e un atteggiamento particolare che un “obiettivo finale”. Deve rigettare l’idea di uno stadio “finale” dell’esistenza, per evidenziare l’importanza di un processo di ricerca infinita volto alla produzione di un…

Anarchism, for me, is less about “end goals” and more about a particular ethic and outlook. It should reject the idea of “final” states of existence altogether and instead emphasize the importance of a never-ending discovery process in producing a better world. This process is much to the contrary of Communism, which declares what the…

The capitalist market system is defined by the strictures of wage labour relations and the regulatory mechanisms, which are the used for the valorisation of capital and the commodity production which maintains, expands and homogenises this valorisation. These are the inevitable products of capitalist exchange relations and the creation of a general equivalence in which…

According to one defense of government, citizens’ use of government services adequately explains and justifies the existence of political obligations. By attending government schools, walking on government sidewalks, and calling 911, citizens “tacitly agree” to taxation, jury duty, and military registration, or so the argument goes. One tempting rebuttal—that enforceable agreements cannot be tacit—fails pretty…

C4SS Feed 44 presents Jeff Riggenbach‘s “Why I Am a Left Libertarian” edited by Nick Ford and read by Riggenbach himself. Many libertarians say the traditional Left/Right political spectrum has become meaningless and useless. But to the extent that this is true for them, this is only because they have allowed themselves to be befuddled…

Imagine the following person. He believes all individuals should be free to do anything that’s peaceful and therefore favors private property, free global markets, freedom of contract, civil liberties, and all the related ideas that come under the label libertarianism (or liberalism). Obviously he is not a statist. But is he an individualist and a…

Many libertarians say the traditional Left/Right political spectrum has become meaningless and useless. But to the extent that this is true for them, this is only because they have allowed themselves to be befuddled by political fraud and, perhaps, by a weak background in political history. The spectrum is just as useful and meaningful as…

…Many libertarians in this century have been, in my view, insufficiently sensitive to the perspective of the poor, of laborers, of women, of minorities. But I view this as a historical aberration, brought about by the fact that a) the triumphant advance of socialism pushed libertarians into a century-long alliance with conservatives, and some aristocratic,…

Se date uno sguardo ai dati ufficiali senza mettere in questione i numeri, sembra che la disoccupazione stia calando drasticamente. A maggio le aziende hanno aggiunto 288.000 posti di lavoro, e il tasso di disoccupazione è sceso dello 0,4% al 6,3%. Sembra che il paese si stia riprendendo dalla recessione. Ma prendere questi numeri per…

If you look at the official unemployment numbers without questioning the data, unemployment seems to be sinking. In May employers added 288,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell 0.4 percentage points to 6.3 percent. It looks like the country is finally recovering from the recession. But taking those numbers at face value is a mistake….

Last Sunday three people were killed in Las Vegas. Two were police officers on their break at Cici’s Pizza. Rather than being a day to celebrate the death of two agents of the state as a win in the fight for freedom, it is a day to reconsider the foundations of our beliefs and the…

In my last two blog posts, I responded to Lynn Stuart Parramore’s article titled How Piketty’s Bombshell Book Blew Up Libertarian Fantasies. At the end of the second one, I promised an explanation of the economic theory I used to critique her article. This post will be a brief introduction to said economic theory. Let’s…

Há uma divisão cada vez maior entre os libertários com relação à conexão entre seu firme comprometimento à luta contra o estado e outros valores sociais e culturais. Contudo, trata-se de uma falsa dicotomia. Os libertários apoiam um único princípio maior: a liberdade. É um princípio que se aplica a situações que envolvem ou não…
