I was walking down the street in my neighborhood when I saw that one of the communist posters I put up was taken down by someone, and in its place was an anarchist sticker (left image). Well, I'm off to my computer right now to download some posters promoting the Marxist Internet Archive (right image), and I'll be putting it right up where the anarchist sticker was, as well as at every street intersection in my local neighborhood.

"Sostre recognized that the struggle is not only continuous, but also contiguous. Borders and prison walls physically disconnect us from one another, and in doing so, they obstruct our abilities to organize collectively and horizontally against a common oppressor. By using the phrase “minimum-” and “maximum security” to delineate both sides of the prison walls, Sostre importantly interrogated the commonsense notion that the other side of coerced captivity is freedom. Instead, he emphasized the continuum of “repressive forces [that] exist outside as well as in.” The prison is not an institution apart from society; it is a concentrated expression of its most oppressive forms."

Learning about Murray Bookchin and his view of #anarchism, makes me think that the #Fediverse might be the best proof that an anarchist society could actually work quite well.

It's way worse when someone chooses to sidestep engaging with the actual people involved over email or social media, but instead propagates grievances or rumours publicly - never having tried to communicate to the individuals about the perceived problem.

#Anarchism only works when people take dialogue seriously, and we have a basic belief that other people actually want to do good, when confronted with adequate information and argument concerning a potential issue.

It kinda hurts my belief in humans when I see radicals choosing to expend significant amounts of energy on tearing down the works of other radicals, on the basis of overall minor issues or outright smear.

People who only know how to dismantle but not how to build are a real obstacle for real change to occur.

This doesn't mean you can't criticise your fellow radicals, but don't go on a f-ing crusade against them, and don't make dismantling your sole activity.

Society is rapidly approaching a point at which we will no longer be able to live in the contradictory space between capitalist growth and a desire for sustainability. We can either destroy what’s left of our global environment in a quest for the last bits of extracted wealth, or transition to an ecological society based on community, mutual aid, and collective production. We can’t do both.

Today in Labor History March 29, 1797: William Godwin married Mary Wollstonecraft. Godwin was an English journalist, philosopher and novelist. And one of the first modern proponents of anarchism. His most famous books are “An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice” and “Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams,” a mystery novel that attacks aristocratic privilege. Wollstonecraft was a British writer, philosopher, and advocate of women's rights, and is regarded by many as one of the founding feminist philosophers. Her most famous book was “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” (1792). She died 11 days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein.

Today in Labor History March 29, 1935: French illegalist anarchist Clément Duval died. He was a major influence on other illegalist anarchists of the era, including members of the Bonnot Gang. In 1886, Duval robbed the mansion of a Parisian socialite. He was condemned to death, but his sentence was later commuted to hard labor on Devil's Island, French Guiana, setting for the novel Papillon. According to Paul Albert, "The story of Clement Duval was lifted and, shorn of all politics, turned into the bestseller Papillon." In a letter printed in the November 1886 issue of the anarchist paper Le Révolté, Duval famously declared: "Theft is but restitution carried out by an individual to his own benefit, being conscious of another's undue monopolization of collectively produced wealth."

Today in Labor History March 29, 1951: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed at Sing Sing in 1953. The Rosenberg’s sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol were adopted by Abel Meeropol, the composer of “Strange Fruit,” (made famous by Billie Holiday). The sons maintained their parents’ innocence. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, decoded Soviet cables showed that their father had, in fact, collaborated, but that their mother was innocent. They continued to fight for the mother’s pardon, but Obama refused to grant it. The Rosenberg’s sons were among the last students to attend the anarchist Modern School, in Lakewood, New Jersey, before it finally shut its doors in 1958.

The Modern School movement began in 1901, in Barcelona, Spain, when Francisco Ferrer opened his Escuela Moderna. It was one of the very first Spanish schools to be fully secular, co-educational, and open to all students, regardless of class. His ideas were so popular that 40 more Modern Schools opened in Barcelona in just a few years, while 80 other schools adopted his textbooks. In 1909, there were mass protests and a General Strike against Spanish intervention in Morocco. The state responded with a week of terror and repression, during which they slaughtered over 600 workers and falsely executed Ferrer as an instigator of the protests. His execution led to worldwide protests. Modern Schools started to pop up outside of Spain, inspired by his original Escuela Moderna, including 20 in the U.S.

For more on the Modern School movement, read my article: michaeldunnauthor.com/2022/04/

One could wager, considering the number of anarchists when Franco took over, probably a considerable portion of the Spanish population are still anarchists. And if they could get out from under the Franco dictatorship they could attempt to implement anarchism once again.
