#MurrayBookchin war einer der wenigen, der schon 1971 in Post-Scarcity #Anarchism den Marxismus dafür kritisierte, dass er in den materiellen Bedingungen des 19. Jahrhunderts stecken geblieben war — obwohl die Technologie längst Überfluss ermöglicht - doch meines Wissens hat sich sein Denken nicht durchgesetzt.

When cybernated and automatic machinery can reduce toil to the near vanishing point, nothing is more meaningless to young people than a lifetime of toil. When modern industry can provide abundance for all, nothing is more vicious to poor people than a lifetime of poverty. When all the resources exist to promote social equality, nothing is more criminal to ethnic minorities, women and homosexuals than subjugation.
-- Murray Bookchin (Post-Scarcity Anarchism)

Ok, lesson learned: when reading Bookchin, always have a reader or some sort of commentary at hand, because this guy does not make it easy to dig into the core of his arguments. He is constantly wandering off the topic, or so it seems. Maybe he just wants to be as thorough as possible, like autodidacts often do, in their bid to show that they know what they’re talking about. For the reader this just means that you’re going to have to really put in some serious work to get his points. Which I’m determined to do because I’m going to write about him. So here we go.

Today in Labor History January 27, 2014: The Kobani Canton declared its autonomy from the Syrian Arab Republic during the Rojava conflict. Supporters claim they have implemented a form of libertarian socialism, influenced by American anarchist Murray Bookchin, with decentralization, gender equality and local governance through direct democracy. They have created worker cooperatives and govern the cantons through district councils, each with one male and one female co-president. The councils have gender quotas requiring at least 40% female participation. They have banned child marriages and honor killings. They are attempting to replace punitive justice with a system of restorative justice. And women play a prominent role on the battlefield, as well as within the political system. Yet private property remains a part of their system, which is inconsistent with Bookchinian anarchism. And according to Andrea Glioti, remnants of the PKK’s Stalinist past remain in Rojava. He cites the ubiquitous portraits of PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, often accompanied by the slogan “There’s no life without a leader.”

Today in Labor History January 14, 1921: Anarchist environmentalist writer and philosopher Murray Bookchin was born in New York to Russian Jewish immigrants. Before the age of 10, he had joined the Young Pioneers, a communist league for children. As a young adult, he served as a union shop steward for the United Electrical Workers and later, as an autoworker, was active in the 1945-1946 GM strike. In the 1950s he started writing about the environment and, some say, was the first to introduce “environmentalism” and “ecology” to radical politics. He had a vision of an ecological society based on participatory, grassroots politics, in which municipal communities democratically plan and manage their affairs through popular assembly, which he called Communalism, or Libertarian Municipalism. This tendency has been a major influence on PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, as well as the Kurdish People's Protection Units and the Rojava Autonomous Region in Syria. Bookchin’s 1995 book “Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism” critiqued the tendency of many anarchists toward primitivism, anti-technologism, & individual self-expression at the expense of forming a social movement.

Capitalism can no more be 'persuaded' to limit growth than a human being can be 'persuaded' to stop breathing.
