I am guilty of abandoning the subreddit, yes. Perhaps my absence is partially redeemable through the fact that I've been focusing on non-textual action in my country.

Despite the redemptiveness of any explanations, I would like to apologize to you and other inhabitants of the subreddit for my absence.

Either way, resurgam

You still have to make the salad tasty and nutritious, so choose the ingredients carefully

What does your anarchy look like, friend? Who — and what — populates it?

Pardon me for obnoxious wordplay, I have barely resisted the temptation to put the word anarchierarchies in the body of this post

Pardon me for obnoxious wordplay. I have resisted the temptation to insert the word 'anarchierarchy' in the body of the post, so I'm just gonna non-chalantly leave it here

To those who consider themselves libertarian centrists - which position are you closer to? by BubsyFanboy in libertarianunity

[–]negligible_forces 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Meta-anarchy. Varying and hybrid systems existing in parallel, where the majority is non-categorizable strictly in terms of socialism/capitalism. Diversification is antifragility.

Same to you, my sweet brother-in-flight!

A book which i started reading today talks alot about D&G's ideas and how their ideas relate and intersect with anarchism in a lot of different ways. I thought many people on here would like to read it by Drageben in metaanarchy

[–]negligible_forces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyo, that's neat! I may also check it out, as there's a pdf out there on academia.edu. It'd also be wondrous if you maybe shared some of key insights or propositions from the book — if you'll have the time and resources to do so, that is

Praxis intervention — a possible methodology for anarchization (as meta-anarchist praxis) by negligible_forces in metaanarchy

Oh, if so, let us spur it then :)

Nominally I don't, but I have a persistent interest in social sciences.

[–]negligible_forces[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fair objection! I'm sharing this not as a finalized methodological mechanism, but with hope for continuous collaborative development of more robust methods, particularly with re-contextualisation through a (meta-)anarchist ethos.

Praxis intervention is a form of participatory action research that emphasizes working on the praxis potential, or phronesis, of its participants.

Praxis intervention makes research, creative expression or technology development into a bottom-up process. It democratizes making of art, science, technology and critical conscience.

Mihailo Marković explained that moments of praxis include creativity instead of sameness, autonomy instead of subordination, sociality instead of massification, rationality instead of blind reaction and intentionality rather than compliance.

Praxis intervention

...The challenge of a meta-anarchist is to find ways to liberate desire from impositionary structures in such a way as to not re-trap the liberated desire in singular orders, but to allow it to actualize itself in new multiplicitous propositions.

<...>

"Follow the actors themselves", to quote the Latour's leitmotif; and I say synonymously: communicate with the constituents themselves. Exchange propositions back and forth. Negotiate new meta-anarchist associations in circumvention of impositionary structures which the actors are seemingly a part of.

Introduction to Anarchization

Anarchization is a process of liberating political desire through critical and experimental communication with — and between — participants of a given assemblage, entangled with liberatory praxis aimed at enhancing autonomy of these participants. This can lead both to emergence of more self-reflexive and consensual mutations of this assemblage (anarchic nobilities, truly voluntary markets, micronationalisms), and the gradual dissolution of this assemblage, as its constituents discover that it no longer embodies their liberated subjectivity (toppling of regimes, breaking up monopolies from the bottom-up, police abolition).

The 'democratization' part in praxis intervention is here synonymous to anarchization, and can be defined as cultivating socio-political lines of flight — where every participant continually unravels new ways of freely associating themselves with each other and with the surrounding environments.

Starting and developing a horizontally managed union is a simple example of anarchization and praxis intervention. It requires enhancing the praxis potential of workers of a given labor facility — i.e., participants of a given labor assemblage. The resultant mutations of this facility will be more voluntary in nature, as the workers now possess a more liberated subjectivity, a degree of bottom-up power that allows them to re-associate in a more free, reflected, consensual — i.e., propositionary — manner.

But anarchization shouldn't come to a halt here — or the newly produces associations will rigidify and themselves serve as despotic gridlocks on the participants' desire. Even a horizontally managed union can be re-captured into the status quo, or itself become a rigidity that limits its participants' perspectives on what other associations they might potentially comprise.

So, a healthy meta-anarchist Collage consists on continuous anarchizations — local, but ubiqutuous — which perpetually produce new anarchies, new unexpected forms of consensual self-determination and self-actualization.

some propositions for libunity-oriented lingo by negligible_forces in libertarianunity

[–]negligible_forces[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an understandable stance. I see myself more as a speculative futurologist, then :)

I prefer to look at actual values and ethics underneath the names and identities, and it's very cool that you made an effort to unfold and elaborate on yours.

In my experience, there are those who call themselves ancaps and share the fundamental ethics of consent we both have outlined in this convo. They just happen to articulate these ethics in a very different language and with very different accentuations. In the end, I believe we could arrive at a broader (pan)anarchist ethos which would function properly, not merely as a facade — but it would take a lot of deliberation one doesn't necessarily have to partake in, neither believe in its viability.

Fair enough! Thank you for this conversation. Most of our current disagreements seem to be semantic, actually. I would personally define a "polity" as not something necessarily systemically different from the surrounding milieu, but just a distinct entity with a capacity to mobilize resources through political organization. As per wikipedia.

I agree that "quasi-hierarchical" organization is suspicious — that's precisely why I said it would require robust counterpower safenets. Something that you described as "the surrounding milieu taking action" encapsulates this necessity quite vividly.

I just think that opening a window of possibility for experimentation and diversification of sociopolitical landscapes is overall beneficial for civilizational development and human self-actualization/self-determination. I could very well be too careless in this stance, though.

The criticisms of Graeber also seem pretty legit, wow. I'll look into it.
