  • A complete tear-down simply confirms the end of the status-quo, with no implication of anything better rising from the ashes.

    Most anarchists would advocate a strategy of ‘prefiguration’, often summarised as ‘building the new world in the shell of the old’. You don’t have to tear down the old system before you start building its replacement.

    In anarchy, those with power reign supreme over those without. Most power and resources are already consolidated in a tiny minority.

    Once a society has reached a condition of anarchy, there would, by definition not be a tiny minority with a concentration of power and resources. Anarchy means no rulers/authority.



















  • It’s not both sides doing the same thing. Israel has been displacing, brutalising and killing Palestinians for 70 years. Israel has a modern army, a modern air force, nuclear weapons and a functional economy.

    Since 1948, Israel has taken the vast majority of the land and continues to chip away at what little remains to Palestinians through illegal settlements in the West Bank.

    Gaza is an open air prison that Israel constantly surveils and bombs, controls who and what gets in and out and even regulates how many calories per day Gazans are allowed.

    It’s not both sides doing the same thing. It’s a settler colonial apartheid state brutalising an indigenous people who are holding on for dear life.
