Last year, Fifth Estate published a critique of Deep Ecology which included criticisms of certain people who use the slogan “Earth First!”. This has led to a fairly intense dialogue. As I have read this dialogue it has become clear to me that most people–including those who call themselves EF!ers-aren’t really sure what EF! is.

It seems to have become a given among many anti-authoritarians that radical theory is an academic pursuit. On the one hand, there are the ideological activists who accuse anyone who attempts to critically analyze society or their own activities in a way that goes beyond the latest hip anarchist sloganeering of being armchair intellectuals or academics. On the other hand, there are those who supplement the income of their academic/intellectual professions by writing tracts criticizing society, the left or even their own professions, but in such abstract and insubstantial terms as to be meaningless in relation to their lives. These intellectual “radicals” and anti-intellectual activists remain equally enslaved to society’s discourse. Radical theory is elsewhere.

“Cualquier sociedad que tu construyas tendrá sus limites. Y fuera de los limites de cualquier sociedad los desobedientes y heroicos vagabundos deambularan con sus pensamientos salvajes y vírgenes…planificando cada ves nuevos y terribles estallidos de rebelión”

(Author’s note: This article is more speculative than I ideally would have liked, because it is attempting to trace the tendencies inherent in one aspect of modem society, tendencies which, of course, are in relationship to other aspects of this society. This should not be read as prediction, but as an attempt to show why cybernetics is not even potentially liberating and will ultimately be opposed by insurgent free spirits.)

n New Orleans, just outside the French Quarter, there’s a bit of stenciled graffiti on a fence that reads: “Men Rape.” I used to pass by this nearly every day. The first time I saw this, it pissed me off because I knew the graffitist would define me as a ‘man’ and I have never desired to rape anyone. Nor have any of my bepenised friends.

In my travels over the past several months, I have talked with many anarchists who conceive of anarchy as a moral principle. Some go so far as to speak of anarchy as though it were a deity to whom they had given themselves–reinforcing my feeling that those who really want to experience anarchy may need to divorce themselves from anarchism.

“We favor the development of a worker’s movement based on direct democracy, not just because it will be more effective in the present day fight against the employing class, but also because it foreshadows – and lays the basis for – a society of freedom and equality, without authoritarianism or exploitation.
–from a flyer put out by the Workers Solidarity Alliance, an anarcho-syndicalist organization.

“Society…1. a group of persons who have the same customs, beliefs, etc. or live under a common government and who are thought of as forming a single community… 3. all people, when thought of as forming a community in which each person is partly dependent on all the rest”.

Το χάος είναι ένας χορός, ένας ρευστός χορός της ζωής, κι ο χορός αυτός είναι ερωτικός. Ο πολιτισμός μισεί το χάος κι επομένως μισεί επίσης τον Έρωτα. Ακόμα και σε καιρούς υποτιθέμενης σεξουαλικής ελευθερίας, ο πολιτισμός καταπιέζει το ερωτικό. Διδάσκει ότι οι οργασμοί είναι γεγονότα που συμβαίνουν σε λίγα μόνο μικρά σημεία των κορμιών μας, και μόνο μέσω του σωστού χειρισμού των σημείων αυτών. Συμπιέζει τον Έρωτα μέσα στην πανοπλία του Άρη, μετατρέποντας το σεξ σε μια ανταγωνιστική δουλειά με επίκεντρο το κατόρθωμα, αντί για ένα χαρούμενο κι αθώο παιχνίδι.
