Ripped from Killjoy Substack-Print
Two shorter pieces by anarchist author Margaret Killjoy on the history of anarchism and preparing for the ever-increasing effects of climate change and the collapse of civilization that will come with it.
“When we say “we don’t know what an anarchist society would be like because we are not yet in one,” we are not being vague or evasive. We are saying that societies ought to be constructed by the people in them. Anarchism is a set of tools and principles with which to construct societies that value freedom and cooperation. We actually do have examples of what those societies can look like, but where we are at now, and where we will be in the future, is not revolutionary Catalonia, Ukraine during the Russian Civil War, or Korean Manchuria. We should not expect to reach the same answers as they did, even if we apply similar problem-solving methods to our problems.”
