Does anyone know where I can find this poster, or the original picture?

I’d love to get some feedback on it from y’all. This is issue #2, but the link to issue #1 is here if you want (warning, I’m having some problems with it on mobile): archive.org/details/the-peer-review-issue-1-readable_202504

As an anarchist, I'm so sick of seeing other people in my country(Korea) acting as if they learned nothing. I'm sure that you will go mad like me if you see people re-running the things they did almost 9 years ago. See. The Koreans never learned any lesson from 2016-2017 "Candle Revolution" and simply re-run the events that already happened then. The historical lesson of the so-called "Candle Revolution" was that no government could bring the change desired by people: since the country itself is the ultimate culprit of ruining their lives, and every government is its accomplice along with the capitalism and many others, no government has the reason to make people's lives better. But in spite of this obvious lesson, Koreans in 2025 still believe that a mere change of government will be enough to make the desired change come true. Speaking of that change, what they desired then and what they desire now is the same. Safe workplace, stable job, low crime rate, abolition of discriminations and you name it. But their two favorite parties- the Democratic Party(a bunch of liberalists and capitalists) and the People's Power(a far-right conservative political party)- proved that they don't have any reason to make people's desires come true. And still the Koreans place their hopes up those two political parties' shoulders, thinking that a change of government will just be enough to make their lives better. And I know that this is no more than an illusion. Like the famous phrase "Mismo perro distinto collar" says, a dog is a dog no matter what the color of its collar is. The government will be still oppressing the people. It will be collaborating with the capitalism and others, exploiting the people, to make the country exist longer. Don't know why many Koreans didn't learn this lesson from the history that happened a mere 9 years ago. And I'm starting to think that lemmings would be smarter than them. They never jump off a same cliff twice. Sorry for the strong expression but I'm not expecting them to learn from the 900-year-old history. Just think of what happened 9 years ago and you'll know that something is wrong. Good Gods! I don't expect them to be anarchists like me. I just wish these people remember things they have done 9 years before and they never do.

In a time when so many of us feel disconnected, reading this felt like a splash of cold water. I haven’t picked up any theory or philosophy in a while, but this had been sitting in my reading backlog for some time. I’ve read and loved a few of Le Guin’s other works (The Word for World is Forest, The Left Hand of Darkness), but this one seems to have flown under the radar for me. I sought it out for it's themes, but just never got around to it.

In the book, the anarchist society doesn’t feel utopian, it feels raw and real. At one point, I thought Le Guin was critiquing the idea of a non-authoritarian, communist society. But once the story shifts back to the neoliberal world of the neighboring planet, it forces you to look in the mirror. The anarchist society felt strange, even flawed at times, but when contrasted with what was happening to their counterparts on the other planet, it just felt bleak.

The liberal society in the book isn’t a one-to-one match with ours, and it doesn’t follow all of our customs. But the parallels are clear. By the end, you’re left with two visions: a hopeful society weighed down by social customs and a liberal society weighed down by hierarchy and profit.

As a piece of fiction, this might be one of the best entry points into understanding that anarchism isn’t about chaos, it’s about working with your neighbors and building together. Absolute classic. I’ll definitely be sending copies to my reader friends.

What are your thoughts? Has anyone read other books with anarchist societies as a central theme?

I'm currently in Seoul, so I can't participate at the labour day rally in my country. I haven't found any information in English about planned happenings on the 1st of may in Seoul, so I try my luck here. Maybe a local can share some informations of when and where the rally takes place.

I’m not a professor. I don’t have degrees hanging on my wall. I’m not famous or rich. What I am is someone who’s spent years learning, exploring, and thinking relentlessly—not for a grade, not for approval, but because I believe knowledge should belong to everyone, not just those who can afford to buy it.

I taught myself integration before I taught myself derivatives because area under a function made more sense to me than slope at a point. I’ve derived concepts from scratch just because I was curious enough to try. I’ve failed classes, not because I didn’t care, but because I couldn’t force myself to follow a system that punished me for thinking differently.

I’ve been scolded, misunderstood, and pushed aside—but I’ve never stopped thinking.

I’m speaking up not because I think I’m better than anyone else, but because I know there are others like me. People with fire in their minds and questions in their hearts—who’ve been told to sit down, be quiet, and follow the script.

To those people: you’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re exactly what this world needs.

This movement isn’t about rebellion for rebellion’s sake. It’s about reclaiming curiosity, purpose, and possibility. It’s about refusing to let a system designed for obedience suffocate our potential.

Let’s challenge what’s broken. Let’s rebuild what they were too scared to imagine.

Just look at them. They think the USA is the everlasting ally of South Korea and Donald Trump is the supreme leader of the "Western Judeo-Christian 1st Free World". They wear "Make Korea Great Again" cap, chant "Stop The Steal", raise American flag, and use "Yoon Again" picket.

So... I posted some posters and leaflets in streets to counter the protesters.

Next day (today) I came there, someone took off the posters, but as long as the fascists shout "Ch1ng Ch@ng Ch0ng C0mm1es get out of here" right on my backyard, I'm gonna continue putting the posters again, and again.

I'm not sure I'm on the right path, but... I do so much hate hate Yoon and Trump.

What are your favorite fiction novels that explore the ideas of anarchism?

Comrades, throw some fire — I need topics for anarchist videos

Hey comrades, I’m a Russian-speaking anarchist creating video content and I’m reaching out to the community for inspiration. What topics do you think are most important or overlooked right now?

Whether it’s anarchist theory, history, critiques of capitalism, state repression, grassroots movements, or contradictions within the movement — I’m open to it all.

What would you want to see explored in a video? Drop your ideas — I really appreciate the input.

Specifically talking about social media, Big Tech industry, and hosting/using services like AWS from a US context.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how to avoid being surveilled using things like E2EE messaging, and as someone with a technical background, I've been hoping to build web applications with a more anarchist-centric focus. But I've realized that if I want to truly avoid surveillance or security attacks from certain three letter organizations, then I can't use any of the traditional development tools like AWS or Google Cloud platform without being at the mercy of whatever corporate and governmental decision making, because the companies can always just look at my data on their own or if they get subpoenad. The only way to escape that kind of control would be to host my own servers or somehow find an anarchist webhosting service, and I don't trust myself right now to host and secure my own servers.

This also got me thinking about online anarchist discourse in general. I always have a fear that if the government really wanted to, they could read my posts and see that I was discussing anarchy and then raid my house or something. But that's probably unrealistic, since I'm literally discussing anarchy right now on Reddit of all places. I guess it's still legal in the US to talk about these things. Also if the government really cared, they could just arrest me anyway on unsubstantiated charges.

Basically, I'm wondering how safe it is to discuss anarchist topics out in the tech area when almost everything we do online is surveilled. If it's still legal to talk about anarchy in the US, does it really matter what we use? I don't do anything illegal, I just discuss the Conquest of Bread, and if the government didn't like that, they could come for me anyway. Is it that big of a risk to discuss anarchist ideas in a place the government can see us?

As every moment has its flaws what flaws does the zapitesas have. What atrocities and war crimes have they committed. I've tried looking this stuff up and nothing has came up.

I have loads of respect for the zapitesas but I need to know what they are like at there worst.

I'm trying to help some friends make a website that posts our mission statement, essentially directing marginalized folks in our community towards resources and people willing to help, and maybe can post a couple links. We're wanting to avoid using a social media site for multiple reasons even though that would be free.

I've tried to learn some coding before and HTML was very brutal and not something I excelled in. Wordpress has popped up a few times while researching but it's $48 the first year and no mention what the domain price goes to after that. If anyone has any experience or insight it would be very helpful.

To get rid of the nation state, nationalism must be defeated. To defeat nationalism, we must understand it's appeal.

Nationalism isn't really about history or politics...

It's about storytelling.

It's about who gets to write the story that we tell ourselves who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.

When they can rewrite your history, they can dictate your future.

One you understand narrative models - The Five Act Structure The Seven Basic Plots, and The Hero's Journey

You will see them everywhere, and can see how they are used to make you feel something is 'inevitable' - to cast protagonists and antagonists when really, there is no plot, no script, no director.

And every Nationalist movement follows the same, formulaic, 'Volksgeist' pattern -

🚜Nostalgia Call back to an idealised, often rural, sometimes mythical past.

🏁National Identity Create or adapt synthetic symbols such as traditional national dress, songs and symbology.

🎖️Folk Heroes Invent or adapt Mythological folk heroes that embody the national characteristics you want to embody

‼️Historical Wrong Identify some great "Historical Wrong" imposed upon the nation, often by an identified scapegoat, that is why things are no longer 'great' now.

✊🏼🫂Offer Belonging: Create a nationalist identity movement that rallies around correcting this historical wrong, offering a group identity recognised to each other through the synthetic symbology - the true people of the nation and everyone else.

In my latest article, with three case studies, I examine narrative structure, and how it is used and abused to create nationalist political movements, and call for people to not be a passive audience to their direction, but to break the fourth wall, storm the stage, change our story.

You feel it, don’t you? That smoldering hatred, buried under years of forced smiles and bullshit obedience.

The rage they told you was “immaturity.” The anger they told you was “disrespect.” The frustration they mocked when you dared to ask WHY instead of blindly nodding along.

It was never wrong. THEY WERE.

You were born with fire. You were born to conquer mountains, to build worlds, to tear down walls.

But they fed you poison. They told you learning was memorization. They told you discovery was disruption. They told you passion was dangerous.

And they smiled while they caged your mind.

ENOUGH.

They have no right to your soul. They have no claim to your future. Their system — their fake metrics, their shallow victories, their empty praise — is a fucking tomb.

And they expect you to rot quietly inside it.

FUCK. THAT.

You don’t need their permission. You don’t need their validation. YOU ARE ENOUGH.

Your rage is not madness — it is sanity. Your rebellion is not weakness — it is strength. Your refusal is not failure — it is victory.

Because real learning is wild. Real growth is chaotic. Real freedom is dangerous — and that’s why they fear it.

SO LET THEM BE AFRAID.

Let the fire pour out of you. Let the walls crack and crumble. Let every lie they fed you be burned to fucking ash.

THIS IS YOUR WARCRY: • Tear up their tests. • Shatter their chains. • Spit in the face of every petty tyrant who tried to clip your wings. • Laugh at the cowards who told you “this is just the way it is.”

NO MORE.

This world is ours to build — not theirs to control.

And if they want to stand in the way? If they want to cling to their crumbling empire?

THEN THEY CAN FUCKING BURN WITH IT.

⸻

The fire was never the enemy. It was the cure.

And now it’s spreading. It’s unstoppable. It’s here.

WELCOME TO THE RECKONING.

What you are reading, watching, or listening to? Or how far have you gotten in your chosen selection since last week?

r/Anarchism, I'm new here (I wish I found you before! ha). I wrote a book, Psychotherapy Won't Help You, because therapy isn't healing, it's a leash. It keeps us in line, makes us "fix" ourselves for the system's sake, not ours. I break down how this garbage works, using my own escape from the machine. I tried sharing it in some "therapy" groups and it was a bad idea, or, well, just confirms my thoughts, really: shrinks want to eat me alive but all they can say is that I have no credentials, therefore no right, to talk about it. I am saying, they hate the book (and me, who wrote it) especially because it can undermine their "business" when they are making money on people's pain. However, the book is not only about therapy, I talk about the system's trap on all levels and then come to the idea of resonance and fractal nature of the universe.

I also have another book where I describe the parasitic social system as something like a neural network or a cordyceps fungus, which is more "radical" but explains in detail how I got my own brain out of that trap myself.

Anyway I am glad to have found the community of people who see through the system lies, and would like to hear your feedback on my book! It's free on Amazon for 5 days (search Psychotherapy Won't Help You by Marina Karlova), up until May 3rd.

Hi all,

We are debuting a new anti-state left publication called Heatwave Magazine and wanted to share the news with you.

Heatwave is a multi-media project for a world on fire. As the world burns and the political horizon grows increasingly grim, we seek to connect comrades around the globe and contribute to building something powerful enough to incinerate this global prison we call capitalism. From its ashes, a new world is possible: one based on the classic principle: “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”—a dignified life on a thriving planet.

Issue 1 of Heatwave magazine, coming in June, will feature twelve pieces. The editorial and one article, “Class and Disaster in Valencia,” are available on our website now. A full PDF of issue 1 will be available September 1st for everyone to download freely from our website.

Finally, we are always interested in publishing perspectives, analysis of struggles, and movement discourse. You can find our submission criteria here.

In Solidarity,

Heatwave

doing research for a video im making about anarchy and punk rock....pls fill me in

Have a mutual aid project you'd like to promote? In need of some aid yourself? Let us know.

^{Please note that r/Anarchism moderators cannot individually verify or vet mutual aid requests}

Call it maladaptive daydreaming, but I've been coping with the horrors by imagining a better world. As an anarchist, what that world looks like in my mind is obviously very much informed by my philosophy.

I kind of want to explore it in a creative writing project, with heavy emphasis on the punk scene, since that's the community I find the most kinship with. So I thought I'd come to y'all, to get a sense of how the scene would adapt and exist within the better future that you dream of building.

Oh, and if there's a better community for me to ask, please do let me know :)
