CrimethInc

One the one hand, I think that what Crimethinc is doing is fantastic--I like the angle and I like the literature. It certainly falls in the tradition of 'Mother Earth,' and other agit-prop purveyors throughout history--and I see it as an attempt to get the message out onto the streets instead of being sequestered in stuffy campus libraries and ... Read Morelecture halls. That is good.
However, when it is said to 'live the revolution,' and there is little talk of permaculture, community building or practical alternatives to the current order of things, then you are--by default--leaving those decisions up to someone else. Wheatpasting alone does not a revolution make. That is not to say that I am advocating a dogmatic "program,"(as in telling people what to believe or practice) but I do think that it would behoove an organization with as much exposure as Crimethinc to talk about solutions--and encourage their readers to make those decisions for themselves. With the system in as much turmoil as it is now, it may be simpler than it seems to turn over a new leaf.

I think what this text is getting at is that anarchy is a decentralized, community-centered process. That's also what democracy should be. It's simplistic, perhaps, but beautifully so.

that booklet was the greatest thing that ever happened to me a couple years ago!

I picked up both these posters over the summer. Great work.
