Who Is the Anarcho-Nihilist?

Who Is the Anarcho-Nihilist?



From “L'Esplosione”,
an anarcho-nihilist paper of subversive insurrectional corresponence

He's someone who has two parallel lives,
but one of them wants the other one's head.
And, just like in certain old fairy tales, there is
a murderous “demon” in him, puffing like a dragon.
But it is a sincere “demon,” that, real or not,
wanders through the night
hidden in our midst.
And if everything is hopeless,
and if everything moves toward destruction,
he is an effervescent “human bomb,”
who might explode at any moment
against society!
Sweet and ruthless at the same time, he keeps himself distant
from the love and kindness of those who would like to domestic him.
He is relentless:
he has no fashion, tact or grace.
He doesn't forgive.
Like an outlaw, he follows his own code.
He grants you the opportunity of putting your hands up before he shoots you.
But most are to terrorized to raise them.
They get mowed down.
This is his monstrous side,
which makes him seem to your eyes
ruthless and perverse.
But inside the puffing dragon hides a prince
who suffers from the smallest cruelty or injustice.
Inside his so very instinctive,
so very explosive animal,
lives a tender and sensitive soul
that has quickly learned to wrap itself up
in a cloak of fire
to protect its living flesh.
In railing against the how intolerable this world is,
no one is more
cynical, cruel and venomous than him.
In his iconoclastic fury, serpents froth
from every pore,
and his rebellion against each and all
has something of madness.
But behind the chaos and madness on the surface
the logic and will of the boldest of creators hides.
This “demon” with his wicked thought
is an artist of life,
he exclusively speaks the language of fire
and rebellion.
He feels that he must create the space to make himself heard,
and ears that hear, and this is why
he keeps company with “dynamite” and takes it
as his mate.
He knows that he has to create with sacrifice
sometimes of his own being
the awareness of the value and dignity
the the words “freedom” and “human”
once implied.
He has never recognized the phantoms
created by fear and confusion
that men call “enemy.”
Because no one knows better than he that
“the enemy of man is man.”
There is now in him
a raging awareness:
his own and other people's liberation does not depend
on the consent of the multitude,
but solely on the immediate disintegration
of everything that governs
and administers this old world,
and that is strangling us all.
No, he couldn't surrender
even if he wanted to:
there is no other surrender – for him – but death.
And you,
if through your poisonous indifference
and inertia
you let the “monsters” who now have
power continue
to use ever more refined and deadly
tools of destruction
against the weak, the defenseless, the helpless,
when their target is entire populations,
the, dear sirs and madams, it seems to me that he has
all the reason
in the world to explode
in the way most harmonious with him
at the time he determines, without warning.
No, there are no innocents!
The time and place of creation are here and now.
And, every insurgent of the will to live,
moves in a “circle of visible destinies,”
lord of the realm of life without slaves.

Indymedia is being used by Nazis

The image used above is adapted from the logo used by Nazi musician Boyd Rice aka Non, as used on the front end of his website, here -

Here's a photo which shows the same Boyd Rice in a group pose, standing alongside David Tibet (aka, David Bunting, of music group Current 93), Douglas Pearce (of the Fascist band Death in June), former NF activist Tony Wakeford (of the group Sol Invictus) and Michael Moynihan of the group Blood Axis, all wearing paramilitary uniforms with armbands bearing the Nazi "Wolfsangel" symbol -

Here's a video in which Boyd Rice explains the politics of Non and Current 93 to Tom Metzger (of the Nazi organisation White Aryan Resistance) -

The person who made this original post is the same agent-provocateur who trolls Indymedia with Conspiracy Cells of Fire and "anarcho"-terrorist material

Indymedia have been warned dozens of times but insist on wrecking the anarchist movement come what may

 http://web.archive.org/web/20110725104447/http://www.bradykiesling.com/greek_political_violence.htm gives a good description of the origins of Conspiracy of Fire Cells.

Sadly in Greece they have real fascists to contend with in the shape of the Golden Dawn, not just the low-IQ drinking club/coke dealing ring that is the EDL or confused and pretentious failed musicians such as Boyd Rice. As such the rhetoric of opposition and the violence of action has escalated.

I hope none of this comes to pass in the UK - neither the fascism nor the tragedy waiting to happen that is anarcho-nihilism. These are difficult times with a government who seem to love to kick the poor and being quick to judge and quick to anger will only make the situation worse.

is this news?

Doesn't indymedia have an editorial policy? News stories/announcements/etc only? Since when does this shite not get removed?

confused


Like the scare quotes

17.01.2013 18:38

Hilarious - this is the collective mind of a stay-behind cyber-army just committing mass suicide by obsessive imagination. The regime is paying fake "Anarcho-Nihilists" to try scare off the real ones... wouldn´t want to be in the place of the fakers when the self-fulfilling mock flies back... although it might be interesting to see the bills and hierarchies behind such black propaganda dumps.

There are real 'anarcho-nihilists' in cells, magistrates, crown courts and mental health sectioning procedures undergoing their private armageddons every single day. As late capital gets colder and harsher and poverty less tolerable the violence and frustration explodes in more and more sad and pointless ways. Just see the crime columns of the local and national press. See Dale Cregan. See the murder of some kid in Whalley Range in broad daylight. See schizophrenics in every sink estate in the country causing domestics with tragic consequences when Atos declares them fit for slavery and their benefits stop.

The original post appears to be a translation of a flyer by some Italian anarchists (or possibly provocateurs, as you point out) -  https://sites.google.com/site/anarchyinitaly/italian-anarchist-flyers

I do not agree with Dolphin's scare post above - the ourobouros symbol has been used by many groups aside from artists with right-wing fetishes and there have been many such silly posts on Indymedia banging on obsessively about industrial music no-one cares about.

If we cannot have 'obsessive imagination' we cannot imagine a better world or constructively think and debate about how to act in the times to come. Action without thought and planning is often...well, see my first paragraph.

1. To the best of my knowledge there have been ZERO "posts on Indymedia banging on obsessively about industrial music no-one cares about". FYI no-one on Indymedia has an issue with "industrial" music, only with musicians who publish compilations with titles like "White Power" and articles which describe death camps as "Triumphs as Nazism" (who may or may not describe their music as "industrial"). There are Nazi musicians involved in ballad pop (eg - Saga), in noise music (eg - Non), in country n' western (eg - Johnny Rebel). The issue is politics, not genre.... try to keep up

2. To equate "schizophrenics" with these kinds of wankers is deeply insulting to the very people with whose plight you pretend to empathize

3. If you believe that if "we" (sic) "cannot have 'obsessive imagination' we cannot imagine a better world or constructively think and debate about how to act in the times to come" you're SPEAKING FOR YOURSELF

4. Either way the criticism is that whoever posted this item is a fan of Nazi musician Boyd Rice / Non, so the issue of whether their imagination is "obsessive" or not is beside the point

5. You probably are a policeman

1) Boyd Rice, as the hidden comment by 'king kong' above correctly points out, is some sort of arsehole but not a nazi or nationalist. Do spare us more pictures of him camping it up in armbands decades ago trying to be shocking, or wretched ancient noise tapes called Hitler Arse Rape that 'prove' something is rotten in the woodpile. It's boring and no-one believes it anyway.

2) Are you saying that schizophrenics aren't also under pressure from society? Atos really are passing them as fit to work and they are flipping out all over the country under the stress. There are no hospital beds anymore so the prisons are full of people hallucinating. The streets are full of people in dire mental health conditions, and much of this is due to economic collapse caused by bankers and the oligarchy. In these dangerous times, crime and mental distress blur into revolt as the 2011 riots showed,

3) I guess I am speaking for myself about the importance of imagination and thought before action, yes. We are entering some very difficult years in the UK, I don't want to see things getting like Greece. I don't want what happened in the former Yugoslavia ever happening again in Europe. So yes, I'm critical of 'anarcho-nihilists' who talk about the flashing beauty of violence and block train tracks like some clowns did near Bristol last year. And also critical of those like you who shout 'Nazi' without thinking things through.

4)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros for the illustration - no mention of far-right ideology or Boyd Non there, albeit plenty of tedious mystical hocus-pocus You are projecting your own interest in politically incorrect subcultures onto this posting which purports to be an Italian anarchist poem.

5) Flann O'Brien fan, but there's a cop inside us all of course. Sadly.

Nihilisim

19.01.2013 12:35


I got fed up with so called anarchist non leadership groups who want to go on protests and demos, wave banners and chant slogans and to add insult to injury, a self imposed leadership then declares what is right and wrong to do. There are groups out there pretending to be for the unemployed who are run by working people who managed to go on jaunts around euroupe funded by unemployed peoples donations. Get people to set up fundraising events, then get their mates on board, pushing real activists out. Group members get arrested and are faced with police persecution and repression and are offered no solidarity or support.

This is what nihilisim means:

1total rejection of established laws and institutions.
2.
anarchy, terrorism, or other revolutionary activity.
3.
total and absolute destructiveness.
4.
Philosophy .
a.
an extreme form of skepticism: the denial of all real existence or the possibility of an objective basis for truth.
b.
nothingness or nonexistence.
5.
( sometimes initial capital letter ) the principles of a Russian revolutionary group, active in the latter half of the 19th century, holding that existing social and political institutions must be destroyed in order to clear the way for a new state of society and employing extreme measures, including terrorism and assassination.

Well done Indymedia ;)

FIRST - the original item is a re-post, so, according to IMC guidelines, it shouldn't be here

SECOND - this post is a POEM, it shouldn't be on a NEWSWIRE

THIRD - the item that IMC moderators DID remove, was not the original post, but was instead a comment defending the original post in exactly the kind of racist language (an anti-semitic rant about psychiatry) you'd expect from someone who's into Nazi crap like Non; and the EFFECT of IMC mods removing the wrong material is that the original disruptive post remains on Indymedia, while some of the evidence that proves the person defending it is a racist was removed, so IMC users can no longer see that evidence! Well done!

In context, it's not even an issue of IMC's emotional / religious devotion to remaining locked inside the activist ghetto, even worse, it's IMC's devotion to remaining locked inside extreme fringe counter-culture. And in terms of the impact that has on activism generally, IMC choose to remain a (relatively) big fish in a very small pond, blind to the fact that, partly because of this, that pond is rapidly getting smaller

Wikipedia/ ouroboros/ Boyd Rice

@Third POLICEMAN - none of the "ouroboros" symbols on the link you provide are the exact design used by Boyd Rice's website, however the "ouroboros" symbol in the Indymedia article is the EXACT design used on Boyd Rice's website (albeit reversed). Yes Boyd Rice is both "boring" and an "asshole", as for whether Boyd Rice is a Nazi, bother to look at the video whose link you've already been given...
