"Creatives deserve to be paid" and "We desperately need community spaces for creatives that aren't focused on trying to make money or advance careers where we're allowed to make connections and experiment" are two statements that can and should coexist.

We're kids building models of a world that we might wanna live in.

And sorting feelings in our stomach--is this liberation or starvation?

But have we made it anywhere at all if the dishes are never done?

If we can't live without dishwashers, how could we live without cops?

And you're asking me, who does the dishes after the revolution?

Well, I do my own dishes now, I'll do my own dishes then.

And it's always the ones who don't who ask that fucking question.

People keep dunking on anarchists having little, but noticeable positive impact and then they are not posting announcements for events that their vanguardist group hosts to recruit/educate the proletariat... Hmmm...

And anarchists are at fault for this too. You think an average trot group isn't the same arrangement of polycules and mutual aid that you've got but they just don't consider this part important to their political goals?

i’m gonna be real i dont think we’re gonna community garden our way out of this one

These renewed crusaders against Jerusalem.. the self-appointing raiders, embedded with other raiders of lands alrededor. Knights Templar cross tattoos on SecDef. It’s SecOff like it’s IOF really.

With false-holy excuse, they are much more like fascists than Jesus any day. As if Jesus weren’t a humanist, God taking the form of suffering flesh..? Silly foolish childishness of pick-and-choose Christian Zionism & other emperor spiritualities, caste-makers. Their stories would die in scary nursery rhymes but that it has continued to rule The People since empires began: pseudo spiritual emperors—note they’re always capitalists ruled by MICE. Designing up their own apocalypses. Faking the holiness of their positions. Now trying to convince US that the coming aircrafts are from so far away that they’re ufos.. Far away by class, but not by species. It’ll be an excuse for them to raid more people on protected soil but they’ll call it apocalypse, invasion, alien, etc.

Don’t trust their wars. Protect our land, Earth. They wouldn’t mind to burn it into oblivion and make all of the planet a desert. Grow the garden. Focus on what you want more of (that is not their gold but true wealth). Ignore their faulty rewards and amplify the rewards nature gave you directly.

Complaining about nature is just angst placed upon the universe. It will only make more of itself. Energy is neither equally nor equitably distributed but there is still sooo much for us to direct from within. Do you know I can hear your thoughts and I know others have heard mine too, too many times to not know by now that thoughts are energy, and they will loop on our trauma if we don’t direct them, focusing them on the golden light of our path, continually. This is manifesting. Ignoring their distractions and false logic. Note that logic comes to you directly from nature—no other human needed. Logic is animal, which is unfocused, so directing is Clarifying our intentions & direction, from and to within. We are weaving our visions together. Of heaven on Earth.

Mine is full of wildlife and gardens. Mine values diversity, relies on it even. Mine needs the feminine and protects it equitably. Mine knows society is safest when it is most inclusive. And mine knows that a population engaged in critical thought, to the extent of creating their sovereign critical theories about how what exists is so, is a population in direct conversation with nature (from which comes science) and thus will be its most optimal as it is engaged in the most Real thought.

Actually have you read maia nyancrimews essay on Anarchism? Because it seems like most anarchists haven’t commented on it all that much whilst other bloggers have been tearing into it relentlessly as “deeply unserious” and “should have just been a tumblr post” so I was wondering if there is any valid criticisms of the essay or is it just Jacobins reading it in bad faith.

Just read it now, nothing particularly groundbreaking or controversial so I’m surprised it’s riling up Jacobins on here so much, but I broadly agree with it. There’s a lot of armchair critics uninvolved in any material struggle who love to call anyone actually doing things beyond attending a flaccid party’s meetings “deeply unserious,” and they’re generally not worth paying mind. As for “should have just been a tumblr post” it was posted on a blog, and tumblr is a blogging platform, I don’t see why a personal blog has any more sanctity than the post being hosted here?

As far as the actual content of the essay (assuming this is about the one posted on November 14th), a lot of MLs get weirdly mad about anarchists emphasizing human relationships as crucial for political organizing and balk at the idea of “community,” and it’s why they seem fundamentally incapable of understanding what mutual aid is and just think it’s charity. When you’re subscribed to a vanguardist way of thinking and consider yourself the shepherd of unenlightened masses, this makes sense, because your political action is one-directional rather than going both ways and being, y’know, mutual.

But it’s still strange to me how hostile armchair Jacobins are to that sort of community building because it’s not something exclusively anarchist, the black panthers made use of it to great success, among other marxist historical examples.
