"The creation of a whole series of free working communes, the desire to create organs for social and economic self-management, were the first steps of the peasants and workers toward the construction of a free and independent life." - Arshinov

Various hierarchical power blocks compete and cooperate for power and profit within the capitalist world market and interstate system. Against the above we support self-managed organization and the wellbeing of people; not states. Against the war and all rulers; for another world

WTF is Social Ecology

WTF is Social Ecology? WTF Is Social Ecology?

"Contrary to anti-human myths, the ecological crisis is not caused by an excess of human freedom; it is instead caused by the destruction of social freedom that happens through domination and exploitation towards goals of profit and power-over others."
usufructcollective.substack.com/p/wtf-is-soc...

"The municipality, once it is freed of hierarchical domination and material exploitation—indeed, once it is recreated as rational arena for human creativity in all spheres of life – is potentially the ethical space for the good life." -Bookchin

"The civic nature of most modern revolutions points to the fundamental role that municipalities have played as incubators of social development and the functions they have performed in fulfilling humanity’s potentialities." -Bookchin

"Communalism...is a revolutionary political theory and practice, deeply rooted in the general socialist tradition. Far from setting up models or examples of cooperative lifestyles, it actively seeks to confront capital and the basic structures of state power." -Bookchin

#OtD 27 Feb 1937 Woolworth's sitdown strike of women workers in Detroit began. 150 women occupied their workplace and won improved pay and conditions, and helped galvanise the militant workers' movement sweeping the country at the time stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9...

"Organizational responsibility and discipline should not frighten: they are the traveling companions of the practice of social anarchism." -Makhno

Tactics without strategy replaces strategy with tactics-- which predictably is not going to be sufficient for social change.
