I am an anarchist writer and activist. I created this website to be a free resource to learn, share, interact, discuss, and collaborate. This website does not sell ad space or anything else.
My book, Tools of Control, is still a work in progress, and I made this website in 2011 to post some excerpts from the book along with articles on current events. I hope this blog and my book will create discussions about its ideas, organize like-minded individuals, and most importantly incite action.
My book is about the world’s most powerful institutions: governments, capitalism, corporations, the Church, and their propaganda, and it chronicles how they have transformed the planet through extractive industry, colonialism, imperialism, and genocide, not just of humans but millions of other species. There are more than enough resources in the world for everyone of us to live sustainably, but there never will be enough to satisfy the greed and parasitical lifestyles of the ruling class.
This book explores the history of these institutions and makes the case for the abolition of representative government, fiat currency, for-profit corporations, religious hierarchy, capitalism, borders, and wage slavery. It also discusses some contemporary examples of anarchy, libertarian socialism, voluntary, horizontal organization from the bottom up, mutual aid, free exchange of information, indigenous struggles for sovereignty, and reforestation and restoration of habitats.
If we manage to break free of these oppressive institutions, human relations would be radically different. We could be better to one another and have reciprocal, mutually beneficial relationships instead of being forced into one-sided, exploitative and transactional relationships. We could be happier. Our forests could grow back. Species on the brink of extinction could return. Our air, water, and soil could become cleaner, and we could regain the balance we’ve lost with nature. I hope this site in some way contributes.
Feel free to read the provided book excerpts on my site. Through this website, I also want to support like-minded anarchists, organizers, activists, environmentalists, base unions, and progressive organizations. If you want to be collaborate, please leave a comment below.
