The Bankruptcy of Capitalism and Religion, and the Revolutionary Journey of Anarcho-Syndicalism

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

Against the Unmoved Mover

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

Anarchism and Naturalism

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

Anarcho-Syndicalism in Bangladesh: Present Context & Challenges

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

The Goshal Thesis and the Historical Lies of the Communist Party of Burma

Lindsey Graham and the Capitulation of Liberal Conservatism

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

Laying the foundations: Proudhon’s contribution to anarchist economics

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

Call me Kalar but I am not your Kalar

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

The Nature of Putinism

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

President Sunday is Wrong About Religion (WDFXI)

Antitheism?

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

Chains and Liberation: The Future Struggle of the Working Class in Asia's Transformation and the Context of Bangladesh

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

The Evolution of Consciousness and the Anthropology of God

1. The Origin of Consciousness: The Illusion of Explanation From the very inception of the division of labor in history, we observe two distinct forms of human existence—manual labor on one side, and mental labor on the other. It was during this initial phase, when mental labor emerged as

Imagined Space Solidarities: Rumah Merdeka

Today's working class is frequently confronted with illusory choices in the face of socio-ecological crisis, corporate power, and increasingly acute work alienation. Mainstream unions are frequently trapped in internal bureaucracy, ineffective bargaining compromises, or simply become extensions of electoral political parties. At this low point, the necessity for

Anarkisme di Tengah Badai Teknologi Digital

Anarkisme sering kali dipahami sebagai bentuk kekacauan sosial, kekerasan, atau penolakan total terhadap aturan. Dalam banyak media populer, istilah “anarki” identik dengan kerusuhan dan ketidakteraturan. Namun, secara politik dan filosofis, anarkisme memiliki makna yang jauh lebih kompleks.  Anarkisme pada dasarnya merupakan gagasan mengenai masyarakat tanpa otoritas hierarkis yang memusatkan kekuasaan

Reification in the Strait of Hormuz

In February the United States in consort with Israel decided to launch an air war on Iran which prompted the Iranians to close the strait of Hormuz; a vital world trade passage. The effects have been steep rises in the price of oil and falling stocks reminiscent of disastrous oil

McPolitics: The Compass That Ate Ideology

One of the most successful noosurgical instruments of early internet culture, the Political Compass was created in 2001 by New Zealand journalist and amateur noosurgeon Wayne Brittenden. It draws from the work of Wilhelm Reich, Hans Eysenck, and Theodor Adorno, according to the website’s own description. Because, of course,

The Necessity of Anarchist Transhumanism: A Promethean Manifesto

Marx's philosophy of history aims to interpret historical change as the result of the interplay of conscious human decision, technological innovation, and the social relations that facilitate the development of technological infrastructure in human societies. He explicitly argues that this materialist dialectic points to a historical trajectory which,

Liberalism is about Sameness, not Liberty

Since the wave of republican revolutions from the 1700s to the 1800s the geoculture (the set of dominant norms of the modern world-system) has been dominated by liberal ideology. The major selling point of liberalism has been that it is about liberty; that it is the political ideology most concerned

Control on a plate (MBG and the Illusion of State Care)

The state feeds. But never without consequences. Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) arrives with promises that are difficult to reject :  addressing stunting, improving children’s nutrition, and proving that the state is truly present in people’s lives. In its official narrative, MBG is framed as a symbol
