Hey y’all!

This is the megathread for the reading group of the book An Anarchist FAQ. Here I will be updating the post body with links to each new post of the reading group. Keep an eye on it as everytime a new post is made progressing further into the book, a link should be added here. Also the title will be updated each week, to denote the week we're in.

Happy reading!

Original Title: A/I shuts down - Stay human.

Editorialised because most people wouldn't associate A/I with Autistici/Inventati.

Hi Everyone!

Around a year ago I created https://crimesofice.org/. This resource is aimed towards documenting and saving proof of ICE committing crimes to raise awareness and also save evidence for future prosecution of ICE agents.

Currently I am the only developer and video searcher/publisher. I am looking for people who want to help find videos and other material to save and archive.

The website has a place to upload that I can give access to so you could upload right away

Let me know if you are interested in helping, thanks!

Confessions Of A Former Bastard Cop (theanarchistlibrary.org)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
 
 

I was a police officer for nearly ten years and I was a bastard. We all were.

This essay has been kicking around in my head for years now and I’ve never felt confident enough to write it. It’s a time in my life I’m ashamed of. It’s a time that I hurt people and, through inaction, allowed others to be hurt. It’s a time that I acted as a violent agent of capitalism and white supremacy. Under the guise of public safety, I personally ruined people’s lives but in so doing, made the public no safer... so did the family members and close friends of mine who also bore the badge alongside me.

But enough is enough.

The reforms aren’t working. Incrementalism isn’t happening. Unarmed Black, indigenous, and people of color are being killed by cops in the streets and the police are savagely attacking the people protesting these murders.

American policing is a thick blue tumor strangling the life from our communities and if you don’t believe it when the poor and the marginalized say it, if you don’t believe it when you see cops across the country shooting journalists with less-lethal bullets and caustic chemicals, maybe you'll believe it when you hear it straight from the pig’s mouth.

What is property—and why did Proudhon call it theft?

This video takes a look at some of the history and philosophy of property, from Roman law and slavery to enclosure, colonialism, capitalism, and intellectual property. I unpack Proudhon's claims that "PROPERTY IS THEFT!" and "PROPERTY IS IMPOSSIBLE!", distinguish property from possession, and ask what an anarchist alternative might look like.

A clip from this livestream: youtube.com/live/Q6c3pXG62K4

It's often said that hierarchy is necessary because humans are selfish and greedy. But is that really the case? Hierarchy creates a system where the worst actors are given the easiest path to power.

Johann Sainéa Rubio has been imprisoned in Colombia since 2021, criminalized for participating in the popular uprising of that year. Since the far-right Abelardo de la Espriella government took control of the Colombian state, his situation — which was already very bad — has gotten even worse. The Colombian state is restricting food supplies, inflicting severe hunger and thirst in an attempt to undermine the health of Johann and others imprisoned across the country after fighting for dignity and freedom.

This year, to mark the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, we are issuing a call to help bring some relief to Johann and his comrades, by chipping in so that they can have dignified access to water and food.

As Johann says in his own words: “Solidarity is love and understanding transformed into action.”

To show your solidarity to Johann and his comrades, please donate any amount via: https://chuffed.org/project/197444-solidarity-with-johann-sainea
