Go watch my newest video laying out the principles of stoicism and demonstrating why it's NOT a conservative philosophy. It's pretty good.

"Certamente a burguesia não tem o direito de se queixar da violência dos seus inimigos, dado que toda a sua história, enquanto classe, é uma história de derramamento de sangue, e dado que o sistema de exploração, que é a lei da sua vida, produz diariamente hecatombes de inocentes." Errico Malatesta

bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. 1/2

The text for part 4 of A Modern Anarchism, "Organization," is now on The Anarchist Library ahead of its release as a video essay. In Part 4 I apply Viable Systems Theory to horizontal organization, develop a general theory of horizontal administration, and discuss planning.

An underrated Marx passage: "this 'productive' worker cares as much about the crappy shit he has to make as does the capitalist himself who employs him, and who also couldn't give a damn for the junk".

source: Karl Marx, Grundrisse (London: Penguin Books, 1993), p273.

Contempory western imperialists often pretend to care about women's liberation and LGBT rights in order to justify bombing another country. For some reason it's never explained exactly how dropping bombs, which would also kill women and queer civilians, will fulfil the imperialists noble intentions

Palestinian children struggle with the same trauma their mother felt growing up in the occupied West Bank where the constant threat of land grabs and demolitions plagues daily life.

Marx didn't invent the slogan "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs". In 1845 the front cover of Cabet’s Voyage to Icaria featured the epigraph: “First Right: To Live – To each following his needs” and “First Duty: To Work – From each following his strengths”.

My favourite genre of bad radical theory is: communique written by person who clearly wanted to be a poet but wasn't good enough.

"Most assuredly the bourgeoisie has no right to complain of the violence of its foes, since its whole history, as a class, is a history of bloodshed, and since the system of exploitation, which is the law of its life, daily produces hecatombs of innocents." - Errico Malatesta, 1894
