General discussion

Starting a thread for fellow anarchists in the academy or education more broadly to discuss how they navigate everything as anarchists as well as to provide a potential space for connecting with each other to share ideas and so on.

This panel has as a goal to open a discussion on the potentiality of Cinema, and more broadly, in the collective practice of destruction and chaos.

Only Kaos engenders Kairos in a post bloomitude epoch.

Trauma is a part of political experience for women in the militant milieu.

I think art is a ligne de fuite, capable of opening worlds of resistance againste male macro narratives (Lyotard).

Every form of domination is more acute when it gives itself in the intimacy.

The unsaid of Appellism is called rape.

Introduction

We've finished filling out all the sections of the archive to a good extent now, so now that we're coming up on a year since we went public, it feels like a good time for a round up on all that's happened. This became a lot longer document than originally planned, so most people may prefer to skim-read and skip around.

From Anarchistická knihovna

I am wondering if The Anarchist Library has mirrors or at least mirror system. Mirroring would be very useful for number of reasons including having library accessible after main site would get shut down for some reason i.e hacker attack. It would also help with decentralization and it would offload main servers.

Hiii, I really appreciate what y'all do and I noticed in some of the texts that I've uploaded the formatting has changed from using br tags to newlines. These sorts of minor but repetitive changes made me wonder if there is anything else I can do to submit cleaner texts and reduce editing?

Hi, is this the right place for constructive critiques for a draft I'm working on?

I was thinking about how we could start reading groups here, or build trails of suggested readings together, but it led me to ask a broader question: how do we as anarchists prefigure our knowledge praxis?

I'm also interested in how that question can be inverted: how can we spread anarchist ideas out into our local communities? Softer, prefigurative approaches to anarchism resonate very strongly with community organising, even so far to see this as an apolitical or antipolitical practice.

What limits does this library place in racist content and why? Is it a free speech plaza that allows all racism in the name of Anarchism or does it have standards that mitigate harmful content?

I ask because even as an Anarchist there is an incredibly offensive piece on Indigenous people in the library. We are ok with that?
