Anarcho-socialism?

I'm pretty new to the list, so I don't know how much of this has been said 
before, but I have a couple things to add on the issue of sectarianism. 
First, I think some Latin American anarchists, under the banner of 
specifismo, have begun to fashion an anarchist practice that avoids 
sectarianism. It posits that since not everyone has the same structural 
position in the world, not everyone needs to organize themselves along the 
same lines. Not everyone fits the "worker" mold- the unemployed, the 
marginalized, etc. Also, it encourages anarchists to both organize as 
anarchists within anarchist organizations and become deeply involved, as 
anarchists, within worthwhile social movements that are not explicitly 
anarchist (such as the landless movement in Brazil, Sem Terra). Brazilian 
anarchists are organizing a promising new federation only open to those who 
accept specifismo, precisely because, I think, sectarianism was a problem 
in previous attempts at federation. Although more has been written in 
anarchist journalshttp://www.ainfos.ca/02/feb/ainfos00489.html
(He has also written very interesting articles about the history of 
nonwestern anarchism and the World Social Forum in Brazil
http://www.geocities.com/ringfingers/nonwesternweb.html
http://www.zmag.org/content/VisionStrategy/AdamsWSF.cfm)
Second, I think it is very crucial for anarchists to affirm a multiplicity 
of analysis, organizations and visions of a future world. There is no 
reason why one ultra-specific set of analyses must be accepted by everyone, 
as long as everyone is united in fundamental opposition the state, 
capitalism and all other forms of hierarchy and oppresssion. A multiplicity 
of anarchist styles, emphases and organizing practices would seem necessary 
for people's unique situations and creativity to be recognized and 
valorized. Similarly, there is no reason to insist that one single social 
structure or set of social structures must dominate a post-revolutionary 
world (the cause of much sectarianism). It would seem to be an implicit 
principle of a consistent anarchism that, during and after any anarchist 
revolution worth the name, each community will be able to decide what kind 
of nonhierarchical social organization they would like to make use of, and 
what kind of federations they'd like to be involved in. As the (not 
expliciAnyway, just a couple thoughts.

One reason - possibly a major one - why the non-market anti-statist
sector has made such little headway, has to do with the ingrained,
almost institutionalised, sectarianism that has afflicted this
sector. Lets face it, most of us belong to, or are associated with,
tiny little groups , some even tinier than others, with little or no
cooperation going on between them. Its as if some Inverse (or should
I say, "perverse") Law of Political Affinity operates in some cases:
the degree of political hostility shown towards one another increases
in proportion to the narrowness of the ideological gap between one
another. Which of course, is a very sad state of affairs: this is
precisely what helps to keep our sector small and ineffectual and
more intent upon gazing at its navel than changing the world
Perhaps the major sectarian divide is between "socialists"
and "anarchists". Clearly, there are many "anarchists"
and "socialists" who do not fall within the non-market anti-statist
sector and obviously the question of co-operation with such
individuals and groups is fundamentally problematic. That said,
there are a diverse range of anarchist and socialist groups who
clearly do fall within the non-market anti-socialist sector and it is
with such groups and individuals that I am concerned.
It seems to me that one of the ways in which sectarianism is
perpetuated is through the labeling and pidgeonholing of our
respective positions. That being so we can perhaps help to bring
about a more inclusive and colloborative approach by redefining our
basic orientation. Which is why I would like to recommend the term
anarcho-socialism (or, alternatively, anarcho-communism)for general
usgae in preference to terms such as "anarchism" or "socialism".
It seems to me that this more effectively highlights the fact, as far
as "socialists" in our sector are concerned, that the kind
of "socialist" society we are after will be one in which there will
be no government or state (the "executive committee of the ruling
class") - as suggested by the prefix "anarcho-" - thereby
distinguishing this kind of "socialism" from what most people have in
mind which has perhaps been irrevocably besmirched by its (mis)
association with state tyranny. Conversely, as far as "anarchists"
in our sector are concerned, it would be advantageous for them to
more effectively distance themselves from others who likewise claim
to be anarchists e.g. the anarcho-capitalists, b

Correction of AP-CIA Disinfo.

2002-12-23 Thread Matthew X
A small three-paragraph story recently raised extreme concerns. This AP 
newswire from Washington told how engineering models appeared to confirm 
the nuclear industry's claim that a reactor containment vessel could 
withstand a direct hit from a jet airplane. This may be a convenient 
supposition proved by computer models but two significant points appear 
overlooked.

The containment vessel may survive a jet impact but the control room and/or 
temporary pools of spent fuel lying outside the containment vessel might 
not survive. A nuclear core without monitored control because everything 
outside the containment vessel is incinerated can cause a modern day China 
Syndrome or Chernobyl disaster.

Jim Bell system 2.

2002-08-16 Thread Matthew X

The Jim Bell System Revisited

by Robert Vroman

Ed. note: This article reflects the views of the author ONLY, not the 
editors. We have no official opinion whatsoever on the Jim Bell System, aka 
Assassination Politics.

Please see Robert Vroman's original AP article, as well as both Bob 
Murphy's and Adam Young's response.





Let me re-emphasize that I have neither the knowledge nor the will to 
implement this system. I certainly don't like the State, but I would rather 
concentrate my energies on constructive rather than destructive solutions. 
That said, I still think governments everywhere are going to be staring 
down the barrel of an encrypted gun in the near future, and this article 
attempts to explain why, in response to numerous objections received since 
my last article.

I also want to point out some areas where I think Jim Bell is completely 
off base. First of all, his insistence that AP is somehow residing in a 
loophole of the American legal system that only he is aware of, is absurd, 
as rightly pointed out by many of his critics. I have no delusions that AP 
would somehow survive its "day in court" or that even if, due to some 
arcane technicality, AP is a legal enterprise that that would stop the 
State from pursuing it relentlessly. Furthermore, I am mystified by Bell's 
fascination with confrontation and martyrdom (as exemplified by his 
personal life) and do not think AP will be started by the self sacrificing, 
or that it's even necessarily a good idea to have that mindset when 
designing the system. Bell also overestimates the enthusiasm that ordinary 
people will have for AP by a long shot. I still have reasons to believe 
there will sufficient customers, but they are not going to be primarily 
heartland regular Joes, who Bell envisions watching AP's deadly progress 
with amusement. Bell also gives some slightly cockeyed responses to a 
number of the objections to his invention. In fact really the main thing I 
take away from his writing is the system itself, not necessarily any of his 
justifications.

My friend and business partner, Bob Murphy presented some powerhouse 
arguments against my pet theory in our recent columnist debate over the 
infamous Assassination Politics concept. I contend that under closer 
examination, his insightful questions can be answered satisfactorily.

Additionally, Adam Young has presented a thoroughly researched historical 
analysis against AP, which I will address first.

Young has three main points. First, that assassination has been ineffectual 
in the past for destroying states. Second, assassinations will instead 
create a backlash against anarchism by government and citizens alike. Third 
he does not like the moral implications of the very likely possibility of 
collateral damage from sloppy AP prize-hunters, given the relatively poor 
caliber of historical attempts.

The first point, despite all its exhaustive research, is I'm afraid to say, 
totally erroneous, because the mechanism by which AP kills its victims is 
fundamentally different then assassination campaigns of the past. I am not 
at all surprised to read that a handful of suicidal ideologues gunning down 
a few unlucky aristocrats failed to exorcise the nation state. Assume for 
the moment that AP's basic functions materialize (I will get to Murphy's 
objections later). The pool of assassins has instantaneously expanded from 
only insane political extremists, to every single violent opportunist in 
the world who can access a computer. AP represents a veritable full scale 
war against the State, fought by the scum of society and funded by every 
partisan malcontent across the political spectrum. A dozen assassinations 
per century is certainly not going to give any politicians second thoughts 
about their career choice, any more than the dozen or so plane hijackings 
in the past 50 years makes me nervous seeing a turban in business class. 
However, logically speaking there must be some tipping point at which the 
body count is the most pressing statistic a politician has in mind. AP will 
surpass this tipping point, where history's basket case revolutionaries 
were doomed to fail. The State will of course respond in nasty ways, but 
inevitably these will prove ineffective in the face of an impenetrable 
network supporting a sustained and wide spread offensive.

Secondly, Young fears that AP will re-enforce the stereotype of anarchists 
as the 19th century mad bomber and 20th century Starbucks arsonist. This 
will then erase any chance of our winning hearts and minds via soul 
stirring online essays, and worst of all, get the lot of us gulagged.

What he fails to realize is the absolute lack of a reason for there to be 
any connection between anarchists and AP. If AP were actually launched, I 
for one would certainly not be publicly cheering it on (I probably wouldn't 
even risk staying in the country, having written this article). The

for months now.I've even written you directly about this.Tell me it was a

"...An interesting feature of the seizure procedure described in the search 
warrant, pointed out by John Young at Cryptome, is this wording:

iii. Any data that is encrypted and unreadable will not be returned unless 
law enforcement personnel have determined that the data is not (1) an 
instrumentality of the offense, (2) a fruit of the criminal activity, (3) 
contraband, (4) otherwise unlawfully possessed, or (5) evidence of the 
offense specified above..."

: CDR: millicent ghetto blasters

 >>...I would argue that the only *lasting* surprise offered by AP was the 
fact that when mild wants of large numbers of people can be coordinated, 
economic efficiency can lead to significant, and heretofore unexpected, 
outcomes (i.e. getting a notable figure killed). <<

Or...a complete nonetity that belonged to a certain target group.Society 
might offer the micro-payment option, for example,of paying a pooled fund 
out for a confirmed prediction of a bikie member of an outlaw band that 
made killing a condition of entry.
I like the idea of targeting prison guards that volunteer for capital 
punishment detail.
Could lead to significant difficulties filling certain positions that prop 
up the State...(my 0.02 mcents)




Lockdown for anarchist prison resistor,Rob los Ricos.

2002-04-12 Thread matthew X

Comrade Rob los Ricos is in the 'hole' for refusal to submit to
manditory DNA testing at Oregon State Penitentiary.  We are unsure of
the amount of time he will be in lock down.

Letters of encouragement can be sent to:
Rob Thaxton  #12112716
OSP, 2605 State Street
Salem, OR  97310 USA

Letters must have a complete return address, use only ballpoint ink,
avoid anarchist symbols and choose content carefully.

BACKROUND:  Anarchist writer, Rob los Ricos, was arrested during an
international day of solidarity in opposition to a G-8 Summit on June
18, 1999 in Eugene Oregon.  The day the police came out to model their
armor and excercise their force.  Rob was sentenced to 7 years and 4
months for throwing a rock at a cop who was in pursuit.
This is an outrageous sentence.  The cop was not injured and is a known
racist.  "It was easy for the court to single me out for harsh =
treatment.  I was from out-of-town.  I think, act, look and smell like a
guy who lives in the woods (because I am) and I'm Tejano.  I'm unashamed
of being an anarchist, a political activist and a writer of anarchist
diatribes"  RlR

 >>To be blunt, no official can be trusted, period, nor can any of their 
contractors who have agreed to abide the official rules. Which, as oft 
stated here, includes all state-empowered and privilieged professionals, 
from architects to lawyers to doctors to priests to acupuncturists, and not 
least, journalists who may pretend to authorize themselves but behave in 
accord with the rules of their privileged publishers. <<

I dont trust declan and the petrie dish,(peter Trei) for these reasons,I 
urge others not to either.Thanks jya.(1 architect we can rely on.)
The Govt seems to be concerned about losing its monopoly on disinfo,they 
wheeled out the big guns to hose down
'conspiracy theories' about 9-11.They must really think we're getting out
