Anarchism

Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.

Social Ecology

Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.

Quotes

Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.

~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom

People want to treat ‘we’ll figure it out by working to get there’ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.

~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.

~Murray Bookchin, "A Politics for the Twenty-First Century"

There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.

~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism

In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.

~Abdullah Öcalan

The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution...

~Abdullah Öcalan

Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.

~ Murray Bookchin

Being real?

When you put that much text into a meme format, it dilutes the message. And, you end up turning it into word salad that looks like what some methed up drunk dude would be babbling while trying to steal your car.

I've read it like 5 times and genuinely can't understand what the author's trying to say

That meme has a bit of a tankie smell to it. Its not like both organizations aren't plenty of critical of their home countries governments actions as well.

This was actually made by an indigenous anarchist frustrated with white anarchists refusing to take Palestine's side or have bad analysis.

[–] poVoq 4 points 1 year ago

Well, I retract the tankie suspicion then, but I don't think anything good will ever come from a "either you are with us, or against us" kind of mindset.

Amanitas are only poisonous if you eat to much.

No idea how much that is. But I used to know a guy that preferred them to psilocybin mushrooms.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

from what i've heard, if you prepate them right, they aren't poisonous. you've got to boil them a couple times, discarding the water, and that'll get the toxins out.
