This is REAL deep anarchy!

Don't wish to insult or provoke fellow anarchists here, with the 'arrogant' title to this post, but I need dramatic statement to put forward MY anarchist ideas. First what's the etymology of 'anarchy'?

'anarchy (n.) Look up anarchy at Dictionary.com
1530s, from French anarchie or directly from Medieval Latin anarchia, from Greek anarkhia "lack of a leader, the state of people without a government" (in Athens, used of the Year of Thirty Tyrants, 404 B.C., when there was no archon), noun of state from anarkhos "rulerless," from an- "without" (see an- (1)) + arkhos "leader" (see archon).

    Either the State for ever, crushing individual and local life, taking over in all fields of human activity, bringing with it its wars and its domestic struggles for power, its palace revolutions which only replace one tyrant by another, and inevitably at the end of this development there is ... death! Or the destruction of States, and new life starting again in thousands of centers on the principle of the lively initiative of the individual and groups and that of free agreement. The choice lies with you! [Prince Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921)] '

So hmm m was this the idea of a prince...? THAt would be ironic lol Oh well let's continue then:

For me, from what I am finding out, THE thing the power-head control freak rulers do NOT want is the flowering of communities, and an ecstatic connection with the land, with the natural world. So for me REAL anarchy is not doing what they seek to suppress, violently and via mindcontrol

In my exploration of this, I have discovered that this rulership creates many branches set forth to seem as alternatives where really the following of them, the 'choice', just secures your slavehood in their ongoing matrix. Examples:

Well take traditional religion. may conspiracy theorists will come from the eg Christian perspective, and point the finger at the ruling 'Satanists' and/or 'Luciferians', but when you look at Christian history you find that any questioning OF that belief system in the past could have you burned alive. So would throwing in your satanist badge and joining there really be an alternative? not for the free thinking anarchist it fkin wouldn't.

What about the ancient so-called Mystery cults? Were they anarchistic? No. They were paranoid believing 'spirits' were trapped in 'evil matter' and thus nature was evil created by a bad-arsed 'demiurge', and their (the cult's) leadership was needed to purify the spirit so it could find release and escape nature. And many of the ancient Greek philosophers based their ideas on this dualistic premise. And to this day with the so-called 'New Age' beliefs, they push similar beliefs as that. All really a de-grading of the organism and the natural world.

In politics there is the phony Left or Right 'choice. Hmmm who shall i vote for 'Hillary' or 'Trump'. Whilst really they BOTH support the same oppressive corporatism that is destroying lives all over the world and the very environment we all depend on to live as will all the generations to come.

For many of the youth (and older) looking for deep answers to the problems we face in this world, as the Hippies of the 1960s looked to the East, which also present an escapist philosophy, a goal to escape the 'wheel of birth and death', so now many people who are taking psychedelics look to the 'shamans' in the jungle. But many do not really know about shamanic tradition and how puritanical it can be. After all the shaman is the leader personified holding great authority for the tribe. There can be a fear of this character because IF he can heal he can harm too. but my point is that for may the archaic ecstasy is supposedly shamanism. But this is not so. What is not usually mentioned is the Goddess religion and its leaderless ecstatic rituals. A great book about this is titled Shamanism: Foundations of Magic, by Ward Rutherford.
In the ancient psychedelic Goddess rituals ALL participants/celebrants ingested the psychedelic and 'became possessed', and were allowed to interpret the ensuing experience anyway they felt. This is what I am attracted to. Tough I recommend the prerequisite insight that nature is sacred, intelligent, and the exploration of it via psychedelic vegetation is the celebratory entrance into her mysteries. This for me is real anarchy for we ARE nature, we grow OUT of nature and to explore nature we need complete ruler-less freedom. Deep anarchy. let me know your responses to this?

Sort:  

Yes the anarchist shaman! I agree that the ultimate anarchy is homesteading. Living with the land, cultivating our connection to earth. It is not to fight them but to nourish ourselves. Bless your journey
