Next up in my book pile -- "#NoSpiritualSurrender - Indigenous #Anarchy" by #KleeBenally, (2023) "#PrairieFire - The Politics of Revolutionary #AntiImperialism" by #TheWeatherUnderground (1974), and "#Antifa - The #AntiFascist Handbook" by #MarkBray (2017).

I've posted excerpts from Klee's book in the past (which I will re-boost). Both Klee and Mark Bray are in agreement as to who the real enemy is -- the forces of #Colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy.

Bray writes, "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillar of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy, but also in #ableism, #heteronormativity, #patriarchy, #nationalism, #transphobia, #ClassRule, and many others," (Antifa, page 209), and offers up #Socialism, which is #Antiauthoritarian and #NonHierarchical as a solution.

And indeed, 1974's Prairie Fire, paints a similar picture, offering up a map of North America before and after #Colonization. (And yes, I would love to scan in all the illustrations and tables, but unfortunately, the 1974 copy is well-read and very delicate. It belonged to a coven-mate and fellow activist friend, who left it to me when they passed away -- along with a slew of other radical and pagan books). I did find some archived versions, sans illustrations, online.

Pottery by Osa Jan 21, 2025

My last #selfie for the algorithm before I deleted IG last weekend. Goodbye after 12 yrs + 50k followers 👋🏾 I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t gained some traction here, so thank you for following.

I grew up in #punkrock and #anarchist organizing, so moving to #NonCorporate and #decentralized social media feels full circle. I want my #pottery to be part of a future of thought that represents progress and liberation.

Lesenswerte Serie über Macht & Machtverteilung in freien (OpenSource-) Projekten. Auch in nicht-kommerziellen & nicht-hierarchischen Organisationen gibt es Macht die verteilt wird damit geplant, entschieden und gesteuert werden kann. Aber eben ohne den „Chef“ oder die „Vorgesetzte“. Spannend und herausfordernd zugleich!

Open Source: Wer hat die Macht ohne Chefs und Verträge? - Golem.de

Wer hat das Sagen bei freien Projekten? Firefox und Signal, Bitcoin, Linux oder Tor haben eins gemeinsam: Sie basieren auf freien Communitys. Doch auch hier gibt es Machtstrukturen – und zwar sehr verschiedene.

I am amazed! This is probably the first branch of Western spirituality, that is not incompatible with anarchism. Inclusive, nonhierarchical, and radical af - antiwar, anti-slavery and anti-discrimination.

Some of us understand “God” as a symbol of human values and some of us avoid the concept while accepting it as significant to others. We differ greatly in our religious experience and in the meaning we give religious terms.

We are not a pressure group trying to move Quakerism toward nontheism. We bless what our theist brothers and sisters bring to Quaker meetings and worship. All Friends have much to learn from each other. We hope to strengthen the Quaker tradition of welcoming people of diverse religious experience and to show by example that this can include nontheists.

Are there any blueprints and functional workarounds for #distributed #decentral #nonhierarchical #autonomous #organized #collective #organized #structures which has a working #communication and #federation #structure as a basis for #social and #economic #groups?

Going through the messy process of trying to come up with company values at the start up org where I currently work. Anyone have good resources on #workplaceculture and #workplacevalues? Of course I'm coming in strong with the #coop #nonhierarchical #liberatory vibes and I'd love to convert my team ;)
