State&capital have AI surveillance, drones, rifles, prisons, controlled mass media and kill squads. Formidable force backed by latest scientific discoveries in a sphere of destroying and subjugating humans. Should we hold ourselves back in terms of turning our own mind into a weapon? Should we believe official scientific institutions, when they hide such features as telepathy behind the veil of obscurity, just as they are trying to do with human made climate change crisis? – No. It is your natural right to telepathically suggest pain straight into cop’s brain.

The foundational myth of the state is its necessity. It posits itself as the sole entity capable of imposing order upon a chaotic humanity, the neutral arbiter of conflicts, and the guarantor of security. This is a lie. The state is not a neutral arbiter; it is the historical product of propertied classes consolidating their power, a mechanism born to protect accumulation and enforce hierarchy. Its very DNA is coded with domination. Therefore, it cannot be reformed to serve the poor, the marginalized, or the ecosystem. It must be abolished. This is the first, non-negotiable premise of a free society.
We now confront a second, undeniable premise. The planetary system is terminally ill. The project of industrial civilization, built upon the twin engines of state power and capital accumulation, has achieved its logical conclusion: the active destabilization of the biospheric conditions that support complex life. The science is settled. We are not awaiting collapse; we are living within its protracted, uneven, and irreversible unfolding. The choice is no longer between a sustainable future and an unsustainable one. The choice is now about how we conduct ourselves in the face of a terminal diagnosis.
This reality has given rise to a pervasive nihilism, a philosophy that rightly identifies the absurdity of our situation but draws a fatalistic conclusion. It suggests that because the large scale systems are doomed and no cosmic meaning awaits us, all action is futile. This perspective advocates for a posture of acceptance, a "planetary hospice" where the only virtue is to meet the end with clear eyed resignation, free from the "foolishness" of hope or struggle. While understandable, this position represents a profound philosophical and practical failure. It mistakes the absence of inherent meaning for a prohibition against creating meaning. It misidentifies the collapse of a civilization with the end of all value.
If the universe is indeed silent and offers us no script, then we are presented with the most radical freedom imaginable. We are unshackled from any predetermined purpose. In this void, we are compelled to become the authors of our own values. The question is not whether meaning exists, but what meaning we will choose to build from the raw materials of our existence and our relationships. To choose inaction and passive acceptance is itself a value choice, one that implicitly sides with the forces of entropy and domination. It is a choice to let the world end on the terms of its abusers.
Anarchism provides the antithesis to this nihilistic acquiescence. It is not a blueprint for a future utopia to be achieved after a revolution. It is a praxis of dignity for the present moment. It is the active, conscious creation of meaning through direct action, mutual aid, and solidarity. When we practice collective care, when we organize to meet our own needs and the needs of our communities outside the logic of state and capital, we are not merely preparing for a new world. We are building and inhabiting that new world in the shell of the old, right now, under the shadow of the end.
This is not foolish. It is a defiant, pragmatic realism. The scale of the crisis means that traditional political solutions, which operate through centralized power, are not only inadequate but are often active contributors to the problem. Our strength lies in decentralization, in resilience, in the ability to adapt and care for one another when the monolithic systems fail, as they inevitably will. Abolishing the state is not a distant goal; it is the process of rendering it obsolete by building the capacity for self organization and collective self defense. Dismantling hierarchy is the process of learning to relate to one another as equals in a shared struggle.
The meaning we create is not deferred to a future salvation. It is immanent in the act itself. The meaning is in the food shared, the knowledge liberated, the land defended, the community protected. It is in the solidarity that says, "You will not face this alone." This praxis is our dignity. It is the conscious decision to stare into the abyss and not be paralyzed, but to be galvanized into building pockets of freedom and compassion.
anarchism is the philosophical and practical commitment to creating meaning through the abolition of power and the cultivation of life. The collapse of the old world is not our end. It is the barren ground from which we choose to grow a final, defiant garden of mutual aid, its value derived not from its permanence, but from the sheer fact that we chose to plant it together.

"Human nature" arguments against anarchism essentialize humans into robots with cogs. We are not robots. Don't claim you want a state then get mad when the state fucks you over because the "evil human nature" didn't work they way you wanted.
The problem is the system, not human beings. Please stop blaming humans when you force them to act like this.

Sooooo, 98by30 then? Time to dissolve the nation states, unionise the corporations, turn them into massive coops, and expand autonomus mutual aid networks, methinks.

CW: Defining ideology // The ideological construction of technology
Thinking about technology and ideology.
I honestly think that an alarming number of authors that are frequented in 'marxists' circles, such as Zizek, maintain a misleading conception about what "ideology" is, probably as a heirloom from freudianism and psychoanalysis. Their definition of ideology is much like "a way of thinking", or "a prescription over our forms of desire". And, indeed, ideology is a moulding force over our volition and idiosyncrasy, but it's much more subtle that a "mind-control-like thing". Ideology is the way in which the world is presented to us.
You are not "indoctrinated into an ideology", and, being fair, there is no such a thing as a single coherent ideology. Instead, you are presented "ideological representations" of reality in the form of reified social relations. The commodity is an ideological object that we introduce in our daily lives. Gender is an ideological object securing the social reproduction of labour forces, capital and authority. The point is: social relations, power, modes of production... are all interwoven when it comes to our verily cognitive recognition of the world. We learn as long as we live, we live in the social world, the social world is mediated by ideological objects; therefore, we learn how to interpret the world through ideological representations. Also our conceptions about what "nature" and "objectivity" is are formulated upon an ideological basis.
Now let's transfer this thought to the interpretation of the modes of production under capitalism.
When studying the rise of capitalism, we often read that this new mode of production won over the Ancien Régime because of its "superior productivity" and "eficiency". This isn't accurate. "Eficiency" is a highly ideological category to evaluate a mode of production. Eficient for whom? Even "productivity" is not as objective as it may seem. Reading André Gorz, I found that, at the begining, there was not such as thing like a "higher production" of the manufacture over traditional craftmanship. What was really determinant for the success of manufactures was that the concentration of the work force allowed for a higher level of control and, therefore, higher levels of exploitation. That is to say, the history of manufacture and the factory is a history of the evolution of control over the worker. The higher "eficiency" of capitalism was the eficiency to maximize capital accumulation.
Since then, our technological innovation in the terrain of production has been developed under the conditions of capitalist exploitation. The higher levels of production are not a sign of the superior capacity of capitalism to generate new products and higher numbers of commodities; on the contrary, it is a sign of how capitalism colonized human creativity and innovation and forced us to imagine new technologies of production that need human submission to function. As Marx analyzed in his "Capital", the worker who loses knowledge over the production process is alienated and, instead of being a living user of its means of production, becomes themself into a dead compound of a great machine. The scientific knowledge of the process of production turns itself against the worker and serves as tool for the despotic authority of the capital.
We often think about technology and science as "neutral" and inoffensive by themselves, but this is an ideological representation. Yes, indeed, "technology" and "science" as abstract identities, understood the former as the ideation of tools and processes, and the former as the achievement of "true knowledge" of the world, are not a "capitalist" thing my themselves. BUT technology and science do not exist in a social vacuum, in reality they get realized under the social relations of capitalism and mediated by ideological forms and objects, thus, the products of "technological and scientific innovation" conform themselves to ideological forms, specially when it comes to their implementation to the production process.
Calm down, this post is not a "technology bad, return to monke" thing, all the contrary. What I want to express is that the valorative categories that we use in order to appraise the mode of production are moulded by capitalist representations of reality and, more important, that technological innovation under capitalism obeys to such a representation of reality. Capitalism "productive superiority" is a myth if we understand "productivity" as a measure for the fulfillment of our necessities. The only productive superiority of capitalism stands when it comes to the production of "commodities" as a social relation, which are an ideological representation of the economic production and is founded over the possibility of a market economy.
That's why an "intermediate state capitalism economy before the achievement of communism" like the one defended by many marxists is impossible, as they defend this intermediate stage as a method to the "development of the means of production". Such a development of the means of production would be an illusion, as the means or production that you will be developing would be the capitalist ones: the ones that maximize the reproduction of capital and capital accumulation. You would be appraising "eficiency" and "productivity" with the same measures as the capitalist, insofar as you conceive technology and technological innovation as a neutral thing.
The truth is that, under the conditions of an emancipated society, with an economy of free communities following their self-fulfillment, technology and the means of production would evolve following very different criteria. A specific technology that is "efficient" under certain material conditions may not be efficient when it is transferred to a different social context. The tecnology that is "efficient" under capitalism won't be efficient in communism.
I consider this as an argument against stage/transition authoritarian communism. We should strive for the anarchist prefiguration, here and now, of the society that we want to live in in the future. Only by following this project can we discover which technologies will be functional to our autonomy and our relation to the world.
