Insurrectionary Anarchism

"People are tired of meetings, the classics, pointless marches, theoretical discussions that split hairs in four, endless distinctions, the monotony and poverty of certain political analyses. They prefer to make love, smoke, listen to music, go for walks, sleep, laugh, play, kill policemen, lame journalists, kill judges, blow up barracks."

Insurrectionary Anarchism, is a Libertarian Left, anarchist ideology that is part of the Post-Left movement. It advocates an anti-capitalist, anti-statist, and anti-society insurrection using small informal affinity group-based groups. These groups should be unorganized and without leaders.

History

Influenced by

Insurrectionary Anarchism is influenced by both individualist and to a lesser extent, social anarchism as well. However, much of modern insurrectionary anarchism is associated with an individualist or Post-Left array of beliefs ranging from Illegalism to insurrection over revolution, to accelerationism.

Modern

Modern examples of insurrectionary anarchism include Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei, Informal Anarchist Federation, and similar groups. WIP

Examples

Exarcheia

Exarcheia is a district in Athens known for radical political activism. On 6 December 2008, a police officer shot 15 years old Alexis Grigopoulos, which led to the biggest protests in Greece. Anarchist collectives and other similar movements expanded their action, with new types of organization. They were working in cooperatives and eco-friendly markets.

Conflict with the mafia

The lack of police in the district caused the expansion of organized crime in Exarcheia. Organized drug trade was opposed by anarchist groups, that started to fight with dealers. In February 2016 a few anarchists from a local cafe started a conflict with dealers, Dealers attacked anarchists, and that led to an anti-mafia reaction in the district. There was an organized protest against the mafia and police, which was accused of helping organized criminals destroy anarchist activities. The end of the conflict was the killing of the mafia leader by masked anarchists.

Intellectuals

Alfredo M. Bonanno

Alfredo Maria Bonanno was an Italian urban guerilla, political thinker, and theorist of Insurrectionary Anarchism. In Italy there was an anarchist tendency, that didn't identify with classical anarchist federations or platformist Gruppi Anarchici d'Azione Proletaria, but started to organize local groups that focused on direct action, informal temporary affinity groups, and expropriation. Bonanno worked in one of these groups. In 1977 Bonanno wrote a book called Armed Joy, which is considered to be his most important work. In 1979 he was imprisoned for propaganda of resistance against the government.

Wolfi Landstreicher

Wolfi Landstreicher is the pseudonym of a contemporary post-left anarchist who has been a theorist of insurrectionary anarchism. He has been influenced by the egoism of Max Stirner, the Situationist International, surrealism and is a strong critic of civilization, but it is equally contrary to anarcho-primitivism. Landstreicher means "wanderer" in German.

Foundations and Beliefs

Tenets

According to insurrectionary anarchists, the structure of anarchist groups should be:

• informal - without legal status, without big-scale organization
• voluntary - without obligation

They reject both reform and revolution.

Theory/Belief 1

Insurrectionary anarchists do not believe in a set of tactics. Rather, they put emphasis on insurrection as a primary tactic and a never-ending insurrection, broadly. In a more complex analysis of the philosophy, it is a negation and attack on the social order of other anarchists, such as countries, capitalism, and the concept of revolution.

Internal conflicts in ideology

(this section is for conflicts members of the ideology have often had with each other)

Personality and Behaviour

In many ways, he is Anarcho-Communism without morality, sanity, and other restraints, with any desire for a brighter future replaced by pure rage against the state, capitalism, and society. He goes on rampages, trying to kill as many statists as possible. Insurrectionary Anarchism is way less idealistic than ancom, being completely amoral and nihilistic, not caring about the collateral damage of his rampages. He is not above killing even fellow anarchists, such as Anarcho-Pacifism and Anarcho-Capitalism for being too "passive" or being "not really anarchist", respectively. His best friends are Illegalism, Anarcho-Nihilism, and Post-Leftism.

Relationships

Fellow insurrectionaries

• File:Anpostleft.png Post-Leftism - You taught me that praxis mattered over ideology.
• Anarcho-Communism - You taught me who to fight against, even if you are a filthy compromiser and moralist at times.
• File:Acol.png Anarcho-Collectivism, File:Mutalist.png Mutualism, File:Socan2.png Social Anarchism and other left-wing anarchists - Same as above. Just abandon the pathetic organization OK?
• File:Illeg.png Illegalism - You taught me to have fun.
• File:Anqueer.png Queer Anarchism and File:Anfem.png Anarcha-Feminism - The TQILA is based. Still too weak, and don't get mad at me for blowing up gay bars!
• File:Anego.png Anarcho-Egoism - You taught me that insurrection is preferable to revolution.
• File:Annil.png Anarcho-Nihilism - Besides fighting against the government, we also fight against all of organized society, social norms, and institutions, And we both like Joker and Fight Club.
• File:Soul.png Soulism - Trade deal: You gave me blueprints of ultra-tech weapons with explosives, while I gave you protection and free drugs every time you want it.
• File:Accel.png Accelerationism - I am a one-man collapser of the state and society.

Frenemies

• File:Platformism.png Platformism - Too much organization, the platform is a lot like a party. If your federation becomes like a state, you will be next to overthrow. Still, I respect Makhnovia somewhat.
• File:Egocom.png Ego-Communism - Put away long boring books and pick up the gun.
• File:Antifa.png Anti-Fascism - While we may not completely agree on ideology, he is always my best buddy in riots! Just purge your movement from all idealist tankies and idpolers.
• File:Demcon.png Democratic Confederalism - Blowing up cops is based, but quit calling me a lifestylist! And embrace true anarchy, not cringe bookchinesque bullshit.
• File:Agorismf.png Agorism - Different methods but we trade weapons. Accept the fact that we need violence if we want to smash the state, and your security syndicates will not work.
• Anarcho-Syndicalism - Peaceful general strikes are pathetic, and syndicalism is not conducive to insurrection. Grow a spine and stop cooperating with bourgeois oppressors. Instead, rip and tear until it's done.
• File:Avar.png Avaritionism - My... Main investor. I don't talk about this freak, ok? What is this nonsense about limiting damage to keep organs whole to sell? I smell greed-induced obstruction of liberation.
• File:Ultraprogressivism.png Revolutionary Progressivism - Hmmm, some of you have some pretty decent ideas and tactics. But you're usually too idealistic, organized, and have many authoritarian variants. Goldman, Malatesta, TQILA, and Czolgosz are all based, but don't defend tyrants like Mao, Hoxha, Robespierre, and Lenin because you will be next after AuthCap politicians.
• File:Auton.png Autonomism - He hates organization and capitalism like me, but he is not explicitly an anarchist and is too idealist for me.
• File:Libsoc.png Libertarian Socialism - In the right direction but to mild for me.
• File:Minsocf.png Minarcho-Socialism - Same as above.
