I don’t love to admit it but I’ll take the red and black strugglismo over anarchists supporting nationalist projects and “harm reduction” voting every day of the week
Feral Fury 🏴☠️ 🏳️🌈 🫂🔞“Anarchy is not a social form, but a method of individuation. No society will concede to me more than a limited freedom and a well-being that it grants to each of its members. But I am not content with this and want more. I want all that I have the power to conquer. Every society seeks to confine me to the august limits of the permitted and the prohibited . But I do not acknowledge these limits, for nothing is forbidden and all is permitted to those who have the force and the valor.
Consequently, anarchy, which is the natural liberty of the individual freed from the odious yoke of spiritual and material rulers, is not the construction of a new and suffocating society.' It is a decisive fight against all societies-christian, democratic, socialist, communist, etc., etc. Anarchism is the eternal struggle of a small minority of aristocratic outsiders against all societies which follow one another on the stage of history.”
(Renzo Novatore)

what does aristocratic mean in this context? surely the minority who fight against the societies of history are the disenfranchised, not the rich? have i missed something?

@r Yes, you have missed that Novatore was very likely influenced by Nietzsche's philosophy of aristocratic overmen in using the term. Novatore is writing about those who overcome the herd by force of their will rather than some disenfranchised underclass. In other words, this is a spiritual description and not one about wealth or lack of it.
