    It is the nature of weakness to submit. If we all assume our own weakness, our perpetual internal infection by these various social diseases, then we will continue to nurture a submissive way of interacting with the world, ever ready to admit guilt, to apologize, to back down from what we’ve said or done.

    Oh look they just verbatim fucking said it for me. Fuck me. Also, note “social diseases”, which isn’t an inherently fascist expression but is very heavily tied to fascism and capitalism middle class moralism.

    The rise of the civilization we live in with its institutions of domination is based on the division of labor, the process by which the activities necessary for living are transformed into specialized roles for the reproduction of society. Such specialization serves to undermine autonomy and reinforce authority because it takes certain tools — certain aspects of a complete individual — from the vast majority and places them in the hands of a few so-called experts.

    I bet you five whole dollars this person could not produce an iron hammer from start to finish all by themselves. This is a bizarre thing to complain about. Specialization of labor is awesome. I can make an astonishing variety of useful shit and it sucks. Making everything you need to live by yourself is ruinously time consuming and leads to a miserable hardscrabble life.

    One of the most fundamental specializations is that which created the role of the intellectual, the specialist in the use of intelligence.

    Oh come the fuck on. This is Fascist manifesto. Hero cult, contempt for women, contempt for weakness, and now ranting about intellectuals? They’re gonna name drop Judeo-Bolshevism I just know it.

    The specialization that creates the intellectual is in fact part of the process of stupefaction that the ruling order imposes on those who are ruled. For the intellectual, knowledge is not the qualitative capacity to understand, analyze and reason about one’s own experience or to make use of the strivings of others to achieve such an understanding. The knowledge of intellectuals is completely disconnected from wisdom, which is considered a quaint anachronism. Rather, it is the capacity for remembering unconnected facts, bits of information, that has come to be seen as “knowledge”. Only such a degradation of the conception of intelligence could allow people to talk of the possibility of “artificial intelligence” in relation to those information storage and retrieval units that we call computers.

    Fascist shit. Disdaining “intellectual” knowledge, you know science and the accumulation of learning and shit, in favor of “wisdom”, which is to say the intuition of a bold heroic ubermensch.

    If we understand that intellectualism is the degradation of intelligence, then we can recognize that the struggle against intellectualism does not consist of the refusal of the capacities of the mind, but rather of the refusal of a deforming specialization. Historically, radical movements have given many examples of this struggle in practice. Renzo Novatore was the son of a peasant who only attended school for six months. Yet he studied the works of Nietzsche, Stirner, Marx, Hegel, ancient philosophers, historians and poets, all of the anarchists writers and those involved in the various newly arising art and literature movements of his time. He was an active participant in anarchist debates on theory and practice as well as debates in radical art movements. And he did all of this in the context of an intense, active insurrectional practice. In a similar vein, Bartolemeo Vanzetti, who started working as an apprentice in early adolescence often for long hours, describes in his brief autobiography how he would spend a good part of his nights reading philosophy, history, radical theory and so on, in order to grasp these tools that the ruling class would deny to him. It was this thirst to grasp the tools of the mind that brought him to his anarchist perspective. In the late 19th century in Florida, cigar-makers forced their bosses to hire readers to read to them as they worked. These readers read the works of Bakunin, Marx and other radical theorists to the workers who would then discuss what was read. And in the early 20th century, radical hoboes and their friends would set up “hobo colleges” where a wide variety of speakers would give talks on social questions, philosophy, revolutionary theory and practice, even science or history, and the hoboes would discuss the questions. In each of these instances, we see the refusal of the exploited to let the tools of intelligence to be taken away from them. And as I see it, this is precisely the nature of a real struggle against intellectualism. It is not a glorification of ignorance, but a defiant refusal to be dispossessed of one’s capacity to learn, think and understand.

    This is incoherent. Of course people can self-educate. What does this person think “intellecuals” are if not people who read a whole lot and then talk about what they’ve learned?

    The inability of post-modern theorists to comprehend any totality can easily be traced to this deformation of intelligence.

    Whining about post-modernism. It’s not quite shrieking about Judeo-Bolshevism but I’ll take it.

    Because I sincerely want to end all domination and exploitation and to begin opening the possibilities for creating a world where there are neither exploited or exploiters, slaves or masters, I choose to grasp all of my intelligence passionately, using every mental weapon — along with the physical ones — to attack the present social order. I make no apologies for this, nor will I cater to those who out of laziness or ideological conception of the intellectual limits of the exploited classes refuse to use their intelligence. It is not just a revolutionary anarchist project that is at stake in this struggle; it is my completeness as an individual and the fullness of life that I desire.

    Reddit ass incoherent dogshit.

    The logic of submission imposes itself on the level of daily life offering thousands of reasons for resigning oneself to the domination of survival over life.

    Cult of the Hero, contempt for weakness

    the occupation of abandoned spaces, the sharing of free food, the publication of a bimonthly anarchist periodical, sabotage, pirate radio stations, demonstrations, attacks against the institutions of domination

    Oh god they finally actually said something concrete and it is the most tepid fucking shit oh my god this is hilarious who the fuck thinks about pirate radio anymore? Bimonthly anarchist periodicals? Jesus christ fuck off you goddamn loser.

    But the road of political ideology and programs is no more useful to the project of subversion. Because this project is the transformation of existence in a way that destroys all domination and exploitation, it is inherently anti-political.

    Yeah, because fascists hate politics and what you’re advocating for is a fascist death cult. That… broadcasts pirate radio? Utterly incoherent.

    eep and ever increasing knowledge of the other — a knowledge of their ideas, their aspirations, their desires, their capacities, their inclinations. It is a knowledge of similarities, yes, but more significantly, it is a knowledge of differences, because it is at the point of difference that real practical knowledge begins, the knowledge of whether and how one can carry out projects and create life with another. It is for this reason that among ourselves — as in our relationship to that which we are struggling against — it is necessary to avoid the practice of compromise and the constant search for common ground.

    This is exactly why every anarchist org I’ve worked in has struggled to function at any level. Enough people always wanted to stick to their own bull-headed idea of the right way to do things and wouldn’t bend an inch or cede authority in any matter to anyone and as a result we couldn’t even arrange for coffee and fucking donuts at the meetings, let alone get anything done.

    This is a fascist manifesto and the author is a cop. I have no further analysis.

      Okay I do have further analysis

      It is fucking hilarious that this asshole goes on and on and on and on lionizing indidivual heroism and violence and contempt for society and everyone in it and then at the end they're like "uh, yeah, so live your revolution by making a zine".

      Jesus fucking christ at least kill someone before writing this incredible drek. The whole time I thought they were going to end it with a call to go shoot up thr financial district or something and at the end it's like "You should revolutionarily share the donuts you dumpster-dived for in a revolutionary fashion that embodies the totality of revolution". Fucking christ. "Deeply unserious" is not sufficient we need, like, "Mariana Trenchily unserious for this".

      Okay actually a little bit more analysis

      The reason this person is a cop is that they have totally, utterly internalized the ideals of totally, utterly atomized hyper-individualism, severed from all community, culture, and context, that modern capitalism demands of us. This person has made themselves in to the perfect capitalist singleton, the perfect consumer. They exist only as an indvidual organism that eats and shits, having no relationships of any kind with anyone. The only things they are capable of are labor, consumption, and death. The perfect capitalist robot clothed in the language of anarchism fascism.

        Thank you for such a comprehensive takedown, god knows how obvious this shit is once you point it out. It's also worth noting that the figure mentioned, Renzo Novatore, was literally a futurist lmfao.

        It's what happens when all you know is liberalism, and then you try and create an alternative political ideology which (usually unknowingly) uses the same building blocks as liberalism hoping that you'll find The One True Ideology To Overthrow Capitalism, but then - oh no - at the end of the process, you just have a slightly different form of liberalism. We should solve climate change by... purchasing - from the capitalists who are causing climate change - devices for our homes that have "organic" or "sustainable" or "net-zero" or whatever on the label. We should solve alienation by... rejecting the "weak" (which, by my classification, makes up most of society!) and only connecting with those who are also passionate and fiery and want things to change.

        In essence: we must solve and overcome capitalism and liberalism's actual real-world manifestation, warts and all, by buying into the pleasant myths of capitalism and liberalism and bring those myths into reality. It's just that simple! No more crony capitalism - just idyllic free-market competition! And to accomplish this, we have to use the same philosophies and ideas that went on to create that crony capitalism. The problems are bad, but the causes are good! I feel like most capital-L Liberals have a viewpoint that can be summarized as "I was taught the propaganda about the system we live under in school, but now that I'm an adult, I see that the reality of the system is very different. The only solution is to make the propaganda real, and we do that by [insert flawed method here]." The most sheltered/delusional Liberals - usually the ones that want to achieve some level of political/economic office or power - instead think "Actually, the propaganda is real!"

        You see the above Nietzchean bullshit so many times in manifestos by mass shooters and other "radicals" that it's just rather boring at this point. Oh, yet another alienated 20-40 year old white guy who believes that we have to rise up and act like hyperindividualist passionate revolutionaries to overthrow the weak woke/feminist/Jewish/Islamic/Chinese/etc capitalist regime that we all willingly tolerate and live under like emaciated brainwashed sheep? Wow, what's next, are you gonna say that all authority is inherently tyrannical but single out those "dictators" that the US State Department specifically hates? I can't wait to hear your opinion on cryptocurrency.

        There are some (initially) uncomfortable truths in Marxism that liberals either have to digest or reject, but it provably produces an ideology which has generated revolutions against liberalism and capitalism, around the world and in many different situations.

        I forget the quote and who said it, but there's a line out there about how merely declaring that you or your comrades are now free in a revolutionary way is totally meaningless, i.e "acting revolutionary-ly" - the material conditions must be changed in order for you to achieve actual freedom.

        I would want to report this post for being Fascist shit, but now I don't because of your fantastic response.

        Does Hexbear have an equivalent to The People's Court?

        Or something similar? It might be a good idea to talk about the original poster and their motivation behind sharing this and whether any action needs to be taken.

          I reported it but Franks response should be glorified in the annals of Hexbear history regardless.

          Fuck that show fascists the door

          I reported it

          Having these guys running around is harmful bc it lets them spread their ideas and creates an unsafe environment for our marginalized comrades
