Journalism or cypherpunk revolution - choose one
by professor rat 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

I am not making cryptoanarchist revolution to make the world safe for journalist privilege since - in any large military-entertainment-complex the media is precisely half the problem. Its impossible to help any journalist understand anarchism since their entire identity is wrapped up in them not understanding it. Ein Reich - Ein Volk - Ein Media. The anarchic net has already done a yeomans task of breaking the media on a wheel - so much so the previous POTUS referred to it as the ' Corpse Media " at least once. Cryptoanarchy will complete this necessary task and there will be no NYT, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, Guardian, Al Jazeera, etc under any globalized anarchist revolution I lead. Anarchists are not under the slightest obligation to recognize the human and civil rights of any known fascists. " Fascism is not to be debated - it is to be smashed " - Bueno Durruti The complete destruction of the current fascist-serving news media is a vital yardstick for measuring how we're going. Cypherpunk revolution expects everyone will do their duty. On to CYPHERPUNK 2027 - four years at full warp. On to distributed cryptoanarchist federation VICTORY.

Anarchists have no country
by professor rat 18 Feb '23

" . . . I am in the states. This will help me define what being an anarchist is. I used to fit somewhere in this, but definitely don't meet this criteria at this point. . . " Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in any anarchist community, scene, milieu, space, ecology, or whatever since their more-catholic-than-the-Pope anticapitalism bores the crap out of me or the cynical nihilism of the ecofash fringe physically revolts me. In these periods I'm happy to describe myself as small 'L' leftist treading water and hoping for a ' Proudhonian turn '. And I return to this well-thumbed tome Politics and Opinion in the Nineteenth Century (1954) Includes chapter " Proudhon's attack on the state ".

Utopian dream of federated anarchy

" . . . utopian dream of federated anarchy, a future in which small self-governed collectives flourish by setting up interconnected networks-of-networks (this vision has found new expression in the more progressive parts of the crypto world . . ." https://brettscott.substack.com/p/cbdc-analysis Feel the power - live the dream That ‘dream’ has been a continuous reality since at least 2000 and is only vague to the willfully ignorant - its called cryptoanarchy. Every year since 2009 its called for USG surrender - surrender to be marked by release of all Drug War prisoners and return of PAM FutureMaps to handle defeat-in-detail. Welcome to the quarter-century old global revolution.
