Anarchism constantly evades those who would attempt to locate a process in a rigid structural (stodgy/dead) ‘tower’ of categories. Anarchism is a-historical and anti-structuralist by NATURE (it defies definition and thereby remains immune to appropriation). Its resilience stems from its inability to be located or fixed as an ideology or paradigm. Anarchism is essentially a-political – which will no doubt surprise many ‘radicals’. Rest easy in Anarchism – it is everyone's right-of-passage/existence. Its strength results from its pure dynamism – if it ain’t movin’, it ain’t anarchism!

And it's "rite of passage". "Rite", as in ritual. Not "right". Moron.

What about Bakunin?
22.02.2006 12:39
"The whole Jewish world constitutes one exploiting sect, one people of leeches, one single devouring parasite closely and intimately bound together not only across national boundaries but also across all divergencies of political opinion".
"This Jewish world today stands in large part at the disposal of Marx on the one hand and of Rothschild on the other. This may seem strange. What common ground can there be between communism and the big bank? Oh! but the communism of Marx wants a powerful governmental centralisation and where this exists there must inevitably be a central State Bank and where such a bank exists the parasitic Jewish nation, which speculates in the labour of the people will always find means to exist".
"Only blood", declared the proclamation, "will wash away the people's affliction. You (Russian peasants) have already begun to rebel against the Jews. You are doing well. For soon over the whole Russian land there will arise a revolt against the Tsar, the lords and the Jews. It is good that you, too, will be with us".

Fuck off about Bakunin, ignoramus

What's your point, "Realist"? That the above somehow discredits anarchism? Bullshit. There is so much more to anarchism than Bakunin's writings - it is part of a philosophical tradition stretching back to Taoism.
There is also Kropotkin, Malatesta, Proudhon (he was anti-semitic too, by the way. Apparently it was all the rage in 19th Century Europe), Godwin, Tolstoy and Ghandi. To name a very few. Oh - and the famous anarchist activist Emma Goldman. Guess what? She was Jewish! Well, whaddaya know...
Or are you just indulging in schoolboy sniggering because an historical figure is not perfect. Wagner was anti-semitic - rabidly so. I suppose that discredits opera, does it? You fucking tool.
Once again I fail to see what sort of "realism" you believe in, unless its something to do with the fact that you are Real-ly fucking stupid.

"Anarchism has declared war on the pernicious influences which have so far prevented the harmonious blending of individual and social instincts, the individual and society. Religion, the dominion of the human mind; Property, the dominion of human needs; and Government, the dominion of human conduct, represent the stronghold of man's enslavement and all the horrors it entails." -Emma Goldmann

Talya don't embarrass yourself
23.02.2006 16:22
Having a wank is hardly a "failing", but rather one of the most honest expressions of sexuality there is. To believe otherwise is incredibly uptight and yes, bourgeois.
It is clear that Talya believes simply being *male* to be a sin and is therefore closer to fascism, with its own ideas of biological determinism, than I'm sure she would be comfortable with.
Anyway, I've gotta go. As a man, I've got wars to start and women to oppress, you know.
Masturbation is not a crime
Everything is a crime in Texas
23.02.2006 20:19
Talya, even in Texas you should be allowed to use your own finger. If you travel to California someone there will be able to show you what bits to touch so that you can legally join in and learn how to stimulate yourself. Lets face, if you can't then noone can, but viagra which is effective on most frigid women ( so I'm told ).
And accusing all men of having a temper is as sexist and inaccurate as accusing all pre-menopausal women of being psychotic once a month. Men are much more violent, but most of that is cold-blooded - a failure of reason rather than hormonal. Testosterone is a powerful drug though. If you ever become comfortable with your own sexuality then you should try it once, just to see how it affects your personality. Its like a mixture of adrenalin and hunger.

See how they run into their favourite ideologies, religions and belief systems for cover, security and justification. Theirs is the gathering of cowards who seek leadership in order to express their violence without accepting personal responsibility – gutless wonders that they are! Cowards find their ‘bravery’ in numbers and seek to express it as violence. Real affection and love are expressions of supreme bravery, the cowards are extremely aware of their inadequacies and that only serves to fuel their violence – damn! – life is potential joy – who would steal that from you and create a world of fear and slavery? And why would you eat the shit sandwich you have been given when ambrosia is your birthright?
Are there any real men left on this planet? What a thorough disappointment you little wankers are!

Talya - a damaged individual
24.02.2006 16:26
Two things shine through however: Your appalling Narcissism and neurosis (condemning all "leaders" while bossing everyone about) - you would clearly be horrible company - and your overwhelming *hatred* of all male human beings - preferring instead to look back to some non-specific age of "real men" - whatever that might mean. I fear you may have been a little disappointed with male attitudes of the past.
Men come in all shapes and sizes and personality types Talya - as do women. You ought to get out more and stop slagging off all around you. You wanker.

Masturbation is NOT a crime - it's a tragedy!
anarcho-feminist
pick yer nose
25.02.2006 13:33
Really - why ? More of a tragedy than eating alone in a restaurant ? What about mutual masturbation - is that okay ? Do you grieve when you come ? Is each sperm holy ? Or are you one of these folk who claim never to masturbate ? Is oral acceptable or that a personality failing too ?
What I consider tragic personality failing is when people superimpose their own sexual hangups on everyone else.
Why would a supposed feminist take a stance on such a personal issue ? Have you achieved equal pay ? Have you tackled domestic violence ? Have you achieved proper conviction rates against rapist ? Or is your concern with other peoples sexual habits born of neurotic prurience ?
How come I can pick my ears
but not my nose
who made up that rule anyway
how can you say that's the way it is
that's just the way it goes
why don't you decide for yourself
what you can do
and what you can say

nasty preachy false feminism
26.02.2006 13:45
Once more: Wanking is no more or less than a way for any individual to achieve organism - and its free too!
Any attempt to impose value judgements upon this simplest of physical activities is merely priggish authoritarianism dressed up as radicalism.
Scratch a rad-fem, find a fascist. It has always been thus.
Ban the banners!
