How do we find each other? No one is saying summits are the only way to do this, but some of us do see possibilities.<BR/><BR/>Insurrectionalism as developed in Italy was the result of experimentation in struggle. The US hasn't seen a lot of experimentation, and anarchism as a movement has been dominated by the Left and Leftist ideology. But finally all those years of insurrectionalists printing tons of zines has paid off -- the recent spread of insurrectionalism (if only in packaging) is the result of a slow development and consideration of these ideas, and the form it takes is due to its youthfulness and weakness -- as said in Wrecking You:<BR/><BR/><I>We were there this time because we do not yet have the force to manifest such conflict outside of the context of mass mobilizations.</I>Criminal Anarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014993565768931108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647966585882979072.post-90321477081434693892008-11-06T23:09:00.000-08:002008-11-06T23:09:00.000-08:00I don't get it.

On the other hand you call for insurrectionary tactics and social war. <BR/><BR/>Maybe these concepts have become buzz words among radically posturing anarchists but to me they tend to have specific meanings. They relate to the ways in which we might be able to organize our activity in direct ways to resist the forces of capitalism and intervene in it's constant restructuring of the world around us. They have little to do with the anarcho-assclownism demonstrated at mass demo's by a largely irrelevant subculture. <BR/><BR/>Practically speaking insurrectional organizational strategies revolve around a nuclei organization to frame and provide some logistical support for struggle. While participants who might be disenfranchised from other forms of political participation carry out a struggle that can reach far and wide among different groups of people identifying around a common struggle. In the U.S. for some reason insurrectional often just means having a confirmation bias that distorts the meaning behind any violence to support some bizarre, confused, and irrelevant politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
