Wilhelm Reich rotten > Library > Biographies > Mad Science > Wilhelm Reich "Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should ever be more than an empty political slogan." So spoke Wilhelm Reich, right before the U.S. government burned all of his books and papers, destroyed his orgone accumulators, and threw him in prison in 1957. Ah the '50s. Instead the trouble began when some journalist named Mildred Brandy got her knickers in a twist over Reich's unusual theories -- one of these being the notion that every individual should have a healthy satisfying sex life. So Mildred got very busy and wrote nasty articles about Wilhelm ("The New Cult of Sex & Anarchy", "The Strange Case of Wilhelm Reich") that caught the attention of the Powers That Be. When the FDA discovered that (horrors!) Eventually his work led him to a theory of a bioelectric life force energy that flowed through all living beings.
LIBERTARIANISM: BOGUS ANARCHY LIBERTARIANISM: BOGUS ANARCHY Peter Sabatini A distinct mainstream movement specific to the United States, Libertarianism had its inception during the 1960s. In 1971 it formed into a political party and went on to make a strong showing in several elections.[1] Libertarianism is at times referred to as ``anarchism,'' and certain of its adherents call themselves ``anarchists,'' e.g., the economist James Buchanan.[2] More significant, the work of US individualist anarchists (Benjamin Tucker et al.) is cited by some Libertarians.[3] Accordingly, it may rightly be asked whether Libertarianism is in fact anarchism. Exactly what is the relationship between the two? The Institute for Anarchist Studies | Promoting critical scholarship exploring social domination and reconstructive visions of a free society.

Jakob Bohme rotten > Library > Biographies > Mad Science > Jakob Bohme You are sitting in front of a computer that would have filled a skyscraper had it been built in 1956. You have terabytes of the world's accumulated wisdom at your fingertips via Google. About 400 years ago, before the discovery of electricity and only 150 years after the invention of the printing press, a barely literate German cobbler came up with the idea that God was a binary, fractal, self-replicating algorithm and that the universe was a genetic matrix resulting from the existential tension created by His desire for self-knowledge. Clearly, someone's been slacking off. It all started one day around 1610; a young German shoemaker was looking at a pewter dish when a dazzling ray of reflected sunlight unexpectedly turned out to be a message from God. Many people receive messages from God. Jakob Böhme's transmission was considerably deeper than the usual psychotic imperative. Inconveniently, the visions kept coming.
An Introduction to the Anarchist Movement An Introduction to the Anarchist Movement - by Brian Crabtree - Anti-Copyright 1993: This work may be freely reproduced, by any means, in whole or in part, but may not be copyrighted by any other individual or corporate entity. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Anarchist Principles 2.1 Anarchist Ideals 3. Anarchist Society 3.1 A Model of an Anarchist Community? All About Anarchism This classic statement of anarchism was written by a diverse group of anarchists in Cardiff around 1980 and it is an interesting historical record of the optimism of mainstream anarchist thought at that time. There is probably more rubbish talked about anarchism than any other political idea. Actually, it has nothing to do with a belief in chaos, death and destruction. It is no accident that the sinister image of the mad anarchist is so accepted. The alleged necessity of authority is so firmly planted in the average mind that anarchy, which means simply 'no government' is almost unthinkable to most people. Yet there are a limitless range of possible societies without the State. Various sorts of anarchists have differing ideas on exactly how society ought to be organised. Another common misunderstanding from those who know slightly more about it, is that anarchism is a nice daydream, a beautiful but impractical idea. Even the 'good' things that the State does are actually harmful.
How To Thrive At Festivals | Ravetalk Nick Ladd, one of the Glade Festival head honchos, has given us some pearls of wisdom that you won’t find in the usual ‘festival survival guides’. “Survival is for Bear Grylls – you go to a festival to have a good time” 1. Coz they got damp the night before… Try breathing on them as you try and peel them apart. There is a very small minority of complete arseholes who go to festivals to rip people off. It’s the best way to get a hot shower without having to queue up for hours! I was at a rave in the desert in Rajasthan about 12 years ago that got busted by the police cos the promoters hadn’t paid them off. If you (or anyone you meet) are cold, tired, hungry, skint, sketched out, freaked out or just need someone to talk to, get up to the WELFARE AREA… most good festivals have one, and they are full of lovely people who know what they are doing and are there to help you feel better with hot tea, blankets and calming vibes. 9. 10.
15 Aspects That Must Be Recognized In Third-Wave Feminism 1. There must be a widespread understanding that feminism does apply to men. Therefore, men who stand up for feminist issues may, and should, be identified as feminist. (I think that the phrase "feminist male" should be dropped, as well. 2. 3. 4.

Anarchism: For & Against by Albert Meltzer Table of Contents Introduction Inalienable Tenets of Anarchism The Class Struggle Organisation and Anarchism The Role of an Anarchist in an Authoritarian Society Bringing About the New Society The Marxist Criticism of Anarchism The Social-Democratic Critique of Anarchism The Liberal-Democratic Objection to Anarchism The Fascist Objection to Anarchism The Average Person's Objection to Anarchism Introduction The Historical Background to Anarchism It is not without interest that what might be called the anarchist approach goes back into antiquity; nor that there is an anarchism of sorts in the peasant movements that struggled against State oppression over the centuries. In particular, we may cite three philosophical precursors of Anarchism, Godwin, Proudhon, and perhaps Hegel. Godwin is the father of the Stateless Society movement, which diverged into three lines. The third school of descent from Godwin is simple liberalism, or conservative individualism. The Class Struggle
Comité invisible Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Édition anglophone des ouvrages du Comité invisible. Le Comité invisible est un auteur ou un groupe d'auteurs anonymes actif en France. Il est notamment connu pour son premier ouvrage, L'Insurrection qui vient. Ouvrages publiés[modifier | modifier le code] L'insurrection qui vient[modifier | modifier le code] L'Insurrection qui vient s'articule autour de cinq parties précédées d'une introduction non titrée et suivies d'une très courte fiction en guise de conclusion. La première partie de l'essai est constituée de sept sections, nommées « cercles », probablement en référence aux neuf cercles de l'Enfer décrits par Dante Alighieri dans sa célèbre Divine Comédie[7]. L'introduction présente d'emblée l'ensemble des thèmes qui seront successivement explorés dans la suite immédiate de l'ouvrage, et qui serviront de socle à une critique radicale et globale de la société occidentale en général et française en particulier.
Constitution Myths Have you ever heard someone say, "That's unconstitutional!" or "That's my constitutional right!" and wondered if they were right? You might be surprised how often people get it wrong. A lot of people presume a lot of things about the Constitution. One critique of this page is that it is full of nit-picks. The Air Force The Constitution was ratified in 1787, long, long before the advent of the airplane. Congressional Districts Congressional Districts divide almost every state in the United States into two or more chunks; each district should be roughly equal in population throughout the state and indeed, the entire country. The Electoral College The concept of the presidential elector is certainly in the Constitution, but never is the group of people collectively referred to as "The Electoral College." Executive Orders Executive Privilege Executive privilege is a right to withhold information from the legislative and judicial branches by the President or by one of the executive departments.
