Kropotkin and Revolution, pages 96‑115 Zoe Baker Anarchists, and Kropotkin in particular, are often depicted as optimists who lack a realistic view of how to achieve fundamental social change. This article counters this narrative by reconstructing Kropotkin’s views on revolution and the arguments he used to justify it. In particular, I demonstrate that Kropotkin developed complex theories about how revolutions arise, what form a revolution must take in order to succeed, and how anarchists should act to achieve their goals. Kropotkin did not ignore or downplay the difficulties that any revolution would encounter. Instead, he considered the potential obstacles and developed coherent arguments for why the methods of anarchism were best suited to overcome them. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread-an… Reposts not revolutionary pamphlets from the 19th century that hold up pretty well actually

Calls for the death of Bitcoin Magazines criminally insane politics

Loudmouth, timewasting gasbags of the Peter McCormick, Steve Forbes ( and grarpamps!) sort are pushing a line that things like mixmasters, nostr and astroturfed btc mining can help enable . . . " permissionless decentralization " ( say what!? ) This is a bright shining lie since the US ran amok in SE Asia, and SW Asia more recently. They even recently assassinated a US citizen for exercising free speech. Those who make revolutions against these sort of powers - whose flags the likes of Assange, Snowden and grarpamps wrap themselves up in every night! - are forced to go all the way before they simply dig their own grave. The cheap bait-and-switch tactic of substituting weasel words like " permissionless decentralization" for cryptoanarchism marks you out as a moron. The grossly irresponsible tactic of asking others to be rendered alive and tortured to death for such a scam is what I call a capital crime. Anyone connected to btc zine from now on will be hunted down and killed. If not by the Five Eye, by anarchist assassins, I promise you. Liars leave Suits leave Nationalists leave BITCHES LEAVE - AWAY WITH YOU!

Cryptocurrency: FINCEN Labels All Crypto Users, All Privacy, As Patriot Act Terrorist Criminality, Vows Shutdown and to Arrest Coderpunks

USA Govt about to get rude awakening, crypto doesn't five a fuck about Govts and their "regulators", and crypto is now developing privacy even faster and harder. Good luck trying to cancel free distributed speech, you fucks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWAwK2fHArc https://mchenry.house.gov/uploadedfiles/bitcoin.pdf FinCEN is proposing to apply section 311 of the Patriot Act against basically all types of crypto privacy, including on noncustodial methods. https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/fincen-wants-to-outlaw-certain-bitcoin-on-chain… https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/23/2023-23449/proposal-of… FinCEN Seeks to Impose Strict Surveillance Requirements on Bitcoin Mixers The agency proposed designating 'crypto mixing' as an area of “primary money laundering concern" in order to impose certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements on involved transactions. The... Proposal of Special Measure Regarding Convertible Virtual Currency Mixing, as a Class of Transact... FinCEN is issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), pursuant to section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, that proposes requiring domestic financial institutions and domestic financial agencies to... Notably, if successful (it is still in the proposal phase), it would be a big extension of their mandate to apply that section to a “class of transactions” rather than to any particular custodial entity. Certain types of math/software would become illegal/sanctioned. I don't see this standing up to first amendment scrutiny. The publication of software in this area is specifically designed to be untraceable and run from anywhere. As the tech improves this sort of entity becomes irrelevant. And so it begins. The battle is upon us, but we already know how this will end. Freedom and #bitcoin will reign supreme and usher in a bright orange future. The sun is rising, and theres nothig the night can do about that. All I can say is good luck with that. It won’t work this time. They woke the people up with NSA. Bitcoin will prevail. For bitcoin to survive even a global coordinated crackdown (a worst case scenario), it needs only a handful of small jurisdictional footholds globally to form a decentralized base around, and they stand to profit. When the world turns to chaos, jurisdictions that attract assets and maintain continuity tend to have oddly profitable outcomes. Old school money transfers (banknotes and coins) were private. The past several decades have been surveilled, especially since the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act and ramping up with the 2001 Patriot Act. Cryptocurrency rightfully restores privacy to all the worlds peoples. I don't think people realize the power of this ecosystem. It's a new money, it's a revival of Austrian economics, it's a tech religion, it's a peace movement, etc. It's a tool that empowers many things, each of which are powerful. If this protocol is successful for centuries, this is literally how religions are born. People often say Bitcoin is a religion, negatively. But really, parts of it are a religion, or at least a movement. If it gets just 27 million adherents, it's arguably specific religion #6. Bitcoin was built as an open source decentralized project to survive regardless of who the creator was. The departure and the absence of the creator only made it *more* decentralized since it removed any sort of ultimate authority, and it iterated from there. Even if Satoshi is the NSA, people should have evidenced it by now. A man can be killed, embarrassed, or shown to be weak. An idea lives on and becomes a legend or a god. It's his material that matters.

MAYBE SING A FEW HYMNS AS WELL! If you help or harbour the cryptoanarchist the USG will treat you as a terrorist https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/shinobi While speaking at a public event hosted by London’s Royal United Services Institute on October 27, U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo underscored the rising popularity of crypto among terrorist groups and hinted that the Treasury would take action against industry players who enable anonymous transactions. Personally I'd be hung for an anarchy sheep just as well as a privacy lamb https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7pYBQg4qifU Bitcoin magazine and grarpamps activism so tepid it barely qualifies as liberal! Here is my prescription for those who can't bear to have their bs religions trifled with. I forbid you to ever again read The Cyphernomicon. I also recommend you take a godly dose of Prozac and return to your sedentary somnambulation in front of the Boob Tube. Then remember to keep your mouth shut and your head bowed when the truck pulls up out front to carry your sorry carcass off to the 5-VEY government glue factory.
