In my article on the Russian Revolution I explained the process by which the first communist state in world history came into existence. In 1922 this state became known as the Soviet Union. Those who embrace the official ideology that ultimately took root within it think of it as a
The basics of Rule and Anti-Rule
From the dawn of human civilization to the complex geopolitical and information-technology-driven era of the twenty-first century, "religion" has never remained confined within a bounded circle of belief or formal ritualistic phenomena; rather, it has established itself as the most influential psychological driving force of human existence, the
The Russian Revolution was one of the most earth shaking events in human history. It created the first ever communist state in the world and thereby gave rise to a new international communist movement that ascended to power throughout the global south and Eastern Europe. For Anarchists the Russian Revolution
The Long History of Limiting Power Toward a Society Without Domination
In the long historical trajectory of human civilization, two primary forces have most extensively controlled and shackled the human mind and society: capitalism and institutional religion. In this critical and complex era of the twenty-first century, both of these forces have reached the absolute limit of their all-encompassing failure. The
Theology has, since its beginning, rooted itself in a demand for creation. This is so much so that creation myths are identified by scholars as a primary form in world mythology. Since human beings could examine the world they live in they have wondered where it came from. In pre-scientific
I would like to start by quoting one of the most important journalists of today, Julian Assange, who was asked about the character of the state I come from: He said that, like several other countries, Serbia is place where the future happens first. That being said, it is important
Despite massive rejection since it was proposed, the revision of the Indonesia Military Law (RUU TNI) was still enacted on March 20, 2025. After the enactment, the rejection from the people escalated and gave birth to massive #TolakRUUTNI (literally translated to reject the revision of the Indonesia Military Law) demonstrations
Anarchism is the political philosophy that calls for replacing all relations of domination with relations of free association. We call for this because we understand that human beings sustain ourselves through free cooperation. When we dominate each other the dominated experience the domination as an alienating force that excludes them
When the Spanish Section of CIT decided to bring multiple lawsuits against the CNT-AIT some years ago, it was very important how they did it. The Secretary of the CNT-CIT, Enrique Hoz, hired a lawyer who filed these suits – without the mandate of the organization to do it. This says
Anarchism, plain and simple.
Theology has, since its beginning, rooted itself in a demand for creation. This is so much so that creation myths are identified by scholars as a primary form in world mythology. Since human beings could examine the world they live in they have wondered where it came from. In pre-scientific
In the past I have asserted that Anarchism has historically usually dovetailed with naturalistic philosophy and that this is because it is the framework most amenable to shaping Anarchist commitments into a coherent world picture. As I've said the basic reason for this is that Anarchism centers the
1. Shift of Power and the Reconstruction Strategy of the Bourgeois State Apparatus The political shift in Bangladesh's state power on August 5, 2024, was not a revolution in the interest of the working class; rather, it was an unprecedented internal rearrangement of power within the bourgeois state
According to the Vol. I, No. 7 of CPI’s Periodical named “Communist”, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Burma passed a political resolution on July 30, 1947 to Communist Party of India on the situation facing the Burmese people immediately after the murder of General Aung San
After a sudden illness republican senator Lindsey Graham has passed away. Graham was a figure that encapsulated the way the republican party has been captured by an ideology that is ultimately alien to its establishment. Conservatism is divided historically between liberal and illiberal conservatives. The former view civil rights + rule
Anyone sketching the positive vision of libertarian economics would, undoubtedly, include such features as common ownership of land, socialisation of industry, workers’ self-management of production and federations of workers’ councils. Such a vision can be found in the works of such noted revolutionary anarchists as Michael Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin and
Since 2020, the “Don’t Call Me Kalar” movement has begun on Facebook with an objective to hinder the utilization of a word which has historically been used to describe people belonging to the sub-continent of India, encompassing Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims. However, historically, the word Kala has had many
For the west Putin is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. He seems altogether too concerned with his own power to be really principled while also displaying a clear moralistic tendency toward castigating western liberalism paradoxically as both a source of imperialism and moral chaos. He rejects the liberal norms
Statement by Coordinamento Anarcosindicalista, the IWA Initiative in Italy
In contemporary activist circles bones are made over antitheism; that is opposition to belief in God. Historically Marxists and Anarchists took on an antitheistic stance because they saw theism as a mystical form of social deception which strengthens the existing order. However, with the modernizing energy of the late 19th
1. The Global Shift of Labor and the Rise of Asian Reality The geopolitics and economics of the twenty-first century are undergoing a major paradigm shift. The advanced capitalist world, such as Europe and North America, has "de-industrialized" its own territories and shifted its production systems to the
