Anarchism

I recently readed more about it, and the association with anarchy was immediate.

You break my back. You won't break me.
All is black
But I still see
Shut me down
Save me from myself
Shoot me up
Let me burn in hell
Trapped under ice
Comfortably cold
I've gone as low as you can go
Feel no remorse
No sense of shame
Time's gonna wash away all pain
I made a god
Out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king
Of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy
Sacrifice to the cause
Turn your code into law
Compensate to validate the loss
Take a thief, nail him to a cross
Gospel of rage
Faction of hate
Deviate from the absolute
Born of revenge
Raised on cement
Chaos created government
I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king
Of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy
I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king
Of deceit
Wake me up in anarchy

I saw another post here with very good recommendations on anarchist readings, but it was mostly non-fiction. Do you know about works of fiction (games, films, books...) that speculate how a fully-fledged anarchist society could be like (as in Ursula K Le Guin 'The Dispossessed')?

Hey, there is now an Anarchism public group on Nostr. Nostr is a very simple protocol which aims to become the ultimate decentralized social network, already fulfilling functionality of Twitter, Reddit (not very advanced tho), Twitch, Telegram and more. It is also uncensorable.

It is also more anarchist than the fediverse because your identity there is not bound to a server/domain which can be shut down or moderated at any time.

To join the group, you have to search for this ID: nevent1qqs05w7vklg8ewh4g7u8rafp3dsvtcw3j7v9j4v7n4k5fxxewaggjdspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuerpw3sju6rpw4esz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2assy2425

On Android the app Amethyst is very good. With Nostr, the client handles everything. The servers are just dumb relays which don't need to be trusted. That's why there are a lot of different clients. Each one is implementing different aspects of the protocol and they are always evolving.

If you want to have a peek at the group you can also check here: https://coracle.social/chat/note1lgaued7s0ja023acw86jrzmqchsar9uct92ea8tdgjvdja6s3ymqa579ar

EDIT: There are a LOT of Nostr resources available and you can decide how deep you want to dive into it. A very basic and easy introduction is https://usenostr.org/ . The devs website nostr.com also does a good job of getting the point across. There is an awesome list which can point you to any Nostr related resources like which clients to use and also what other introductory guides are availabe: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr

Popular clients including web, desktop and mobile are also described here: https://nostr.com/clients

Note that Nostr is very decentralized and that some clients implement features which other clients don’t (yet).

This video can also show you visually how the relationship between clients and relays works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIccRIEr2gQ

The Prisoners Union (Serikat Tahanan) was officially assembled on July 17 2023, started by the initiatives of six inmates from six correctional institutions in Indonesia. Now, Serikat Tahanan represents eleven detainees ranging from arsoning cases, vandalism for incitement to riots, and marijuana and other types of drug use.

We have been writing, or at least learning to write, our own experiences and thoughts inside the prison. We want to publish these writings but, of course, we don’t have money. Indonesia's corrupt prison system provides inadequate food rations and forces prisoners to pay for it themselves. All these time we have been living off solidarity from comrades outside prison as it's almost impossible for us to work. Lack of funds and bribe-ridden prison conditions worsen our lives and hamper our writing project. We will use the proceeds from book sales to run the program that has been determined and run by the prisoners themselves.

Therefore we ask the international anti-authoritarian activists, anarchists, anti-fascists and abolitionist networks to stand in solidarity in our efforts to publish our writings.

Over the centuries humans have folded themselves into power structures that benefit the few at the expense of the many. In the same way that the imperialist subjugates and exploits the third world and the capitalist exploits the worker, the human has positioned itself at the top of an explotative and murderous relationship to nonhuman animals. The beneficiaries of the status quo will emphasise their personal benefits, while refusing to acknowledge even so much as the existence, let alone the moral value, of their victims. When forced to engage with them, the justifications are often times the same - considering the outgroup to be deserving of oppression due to a perceived lack of valuable traits, be it intelligence, the ability to "contribute" to society or emotional "depth". If we let our morality only apply to our chosen ingroup rather than extending it to all sentient life, we will inadvertantly leave intact the same unjust power structures we readily criticise in the rest of society. Working towards a life that doesn't contribute to animal exploitation is not just possible but necessary. Go vegan.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on Lemme and a introduction to me and what I am about.

I assume most of you here are in a attempt to escape the corporate click and scroll economy that has become our internet overtaken by major companies who control most of what we see online. That is Google, MicroSoft, Amazon, Meta and Twitter to name a few but we also know that they work for the government and use mass surveillance using the data collected.

As a supporter of Open Source and GNU along with cryptography I believe that information is a general right to the people and the internet was created by us and should be ran by us.

'The organization of the digital economy through the social ownership of digital assets and democratic control over the infrastructure and systems that govern our digital lives.

A broad ecology of social ownership acknowledges the multiple and overlapping associations to which individuals belong and promotes the flourishing of different communities from mutual societies to platform co-operatives, data trusts and international social networks.'

Sound about right? As a programmer and hacktivist I believe it is my duty to protect and preserve our online ecosystem. Creating communities that work towards these goals is a major theme in my life both online and off.

So what am I going for?

I would like to build and network with like minded individuals and find a sense of community in a space like the fediverse. I am a fan and user of Linux especially Arch where I can control exactly what is on my machine, and for productivity I pretty much live inside of Emacs. I am working on my static web page where I will have a blog, RSS feed and webring. But I was never really into front end web development, I mainly write in Python and Rust.

Anarchist

This isn't directly advertised as left-wing content but has a focus on social change and philosophically has implications related to anarchism.

SubMedia makes a lot of Anarchist videos covering news around the world. This is there last video of their System Fail series as they move on to a new series. They also host their videos on their own Peertube server https://kolektiva.media/w/896293b0-3618-41ce-93ae-640627db79fc

apparently r/anarchism has been in lockdown for quite some time now and they link to their own reddit alternative called raddle.me, which is not fediverse integrated, sadly. they also have a long list of alternatives, but lemmy isn't one of them

That seems to be the case because lemmy's main dev is a ml. (edit: meaning 'marxist leninist, apologies for not being clear on that)

It's somewhat sad for me because the whole philosophy of the fediverse is anarchistic in its core, it is how it should be, it is how the internet should work. So I wondered - what are the biggest anarchistic communities in the fediverse so far?

edit: here some context I found on raddle: 1 2 3

The Conquest of Bread Quotes by Pyotr Kropotkin - Goodreads:

"So utopian are we that we go to the length of believing that the revolution can and ought to assure shelter, good and clothes to all - an idea extremely displeasing to middle-class citizens, whatever their party colour, for they are quite alive to the fact that it is not easy to keep the upper hand of a people whose hunger is satisfied."

Quote:"The alliance is also marked by a strong ambivalence. It was founded with the intention of ending the hegemony of the West and the imperial practices of the hegemonic power, the U.S. Attacking the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency is a central project within this strategy. But at the same time, the BRICS countries are not striving for a fundamental change in world trade, they are ultimately only seeking to inherit the West and the U.S. within the framework of the world capitalist system – and to fall into the same imperialist practices that the U.S. is accused of. This is evident not only in Russia’s imperialist war in Ukraine, but also in the conflicts within the alliance: China and India, for example, are often on the brink of war in the Himalayas over border disputes."
