Anarchy Bang

This is the final Anarchy Bang (for the foreseeable future). After this rant-y editorial we had lots of great talk. About inhabit.global and from Ian, chuck, Lilly, Nettle, Ariel, Chisel, […]

We are finding some local maximum as this project draws to a close. There is a reasonable conversation (thanks ariel!) for the first hour. A zoomer laughs at us and […]

This was a great conversation with Nettle, chisel, damo and Aragorn! At the end we ranted about nerdy shit (like Star Wars and Xmen). The bulk of the episode involved […]

Does it take a visual artist to talk about creativity? Of course not but we tried anyway. Two hours on creativity, grafitti, tattooing, subculture, and you! Creativity is actively implemented […]

Editorial # 1, by Ian I knew that I was an anarchist as soon as I discovered anarchism. But the things that anarchists are supposed to be doing, namely, activism […]

I anticipated a conversation about Anarchist Music. Where does it begin and end. What is great Anarchist Music today? Do Spotify set lists inform or infuriate? That is not what […]

This episode was a great discussion with thelamic magician lew. We discussed many books, magic, the occult, sufi, PLW, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison. Some evidence can be found here. The […]

Great conversation this week. Large gathering of conversants. Much Anarchy was discussed. Here was the editorial. -A! My understanding of antisocial anarchism came through my involvement with “platformist” anarchists in […]

I guess sometimes you want to critique the critique and you only get to critique. This was that. We discussed Armenio for about 30 minutes. #RIP. He was a good […]

We had a great, not-your-usual-left-anarchist conversation about literally “space travel to Mars” conversation that would not be derailed by usual Aragorn! provocations. If travel to Mars is 100 steps we […]

This is a short episode (one hour) due to lack of participation. I’ll devote more energy to getting to fill the studio moving forward. We discussed anarchist groups of the […]

After telling a little bit of my back story (and sharing the theoretical Red Docs https://groundworkbooks.wixsite.com/collective/collective-cu51) we discuss criticism and how to do it. How it demonstrates anarchism vs Maoism. […]

This was an expert episode where someone who knows somethng about the topic (Ian) carries the conversation. I wish we had more of these kinds of episodes because I have […]

This episode was a responsible discussion about Gun Violence, Terrorism, and what we think can be done about broken men. Lots of fast talking conversation is had. Join us!

A great conversation with up to 10 people at the same time. We discussed the IAC at length, call out culture and whether it should be paid attention to at […]

This was a very informed episode on all things Buddhist Anarchism. Three different schools of thought were represented. We discussed meditation, violence, activism, the conjoined form, the three jewels, the […]

Another episode where we lost 15 minutes to technical issues. We have to figure out our microphone issue. 🙂 I think we get a solid B on our discussion on […]

Today we had major technical fail. Sorry about that. Of course I know you need to leave an hour for a Windows update and yes I didn’t leave that much […]

This episode is about Solidarity. It mostly uses, as example, the Saskatchewan protest camp. At some point the discussion splits into one about negative vs positive identity, the working class […]

Anarchists rely on events for their talking points. It is hard to get past the urgency of now. This episode attempts to do that by talking about what matters about […]

There is a story about terrorism that begins with “Propaganda by the deed” that is an anarchist story. We own that. It’s a thing. It relates to the anarchist past. […]

This episode comes with an editorial and concerns whether anarchism is a negative or positive thing. Preferences are stated. For me anarchism has always been a two-sided coin. There is […]

This episode is about the historical reality of COINTELPRO (the federal counter intelligence program that from 1956-1971) that assumed that America was under attack by forces like The Black Panther […]

When I first started thinking about nihilism is was with the simple goal of finding a way to talk about anarchist freedom (as opposed to constitutional or new age) from […]

This was a great episode where we each talked about 5 titles we cared about. We heard from others and generally had a great chat. Aragorn!1. Kage Baker – Sky […]

This was a great conversation about how to think/talk about the fact that most self-described anarchists are in fact poop. JK. In fact a good percentage of anarchists are working […]

This was a great episode and a great conversation. Lili, Nettle, Dom and A! discussed the history of sexual discourse in anarchism. We talked about poly, sex negativity, etc.

This episode includes feedback on anews article on means and ends General discussion about means and ends evolving into a discussion about Necheyav and anarcho-pacifism Talk about the GSABF drama […]

As you age you begin to see the humor in starting sentences like “as you age.” You recognize that many, if not most, of the people who could learn from […]

This week let’s discuss the condition of the anarchist bookfair. Maybe it’s just me and the projects I’ve been involved in but it seems that in the past few years […]

How can we effectively communicate that which is visual when you aren’t with us? Cohost includes Jason McQuinn, Dom, Nettle.

Editorial: Is there a way to change the world without shitposting In posting the introduction to this episode I receieved a surprising amount of trolling comments with a surprising underlying […]

This editorial is the result of an anarchist perspective that would not have been possible if it were not for those who were critical of left anarchism. I don’t find […]

Any conversation about doing the dishes is going to be mundane. In many ways this conversation represents the difference between an anarchist approach to politics and the approach of other […]

Or “Punching Bob Black” This is our second discussion about violence. The first focused on the monopoly on violence that the State holds and is perhaps fairly defined as a […]

This week we talked about what the future of the show should be. How do we structure what we talk about. How do we do it well? What is our […]

If we look beyond the narrowly defined contours of Fine Art, we can see artistry across all human cultures, and likely in other species. Are Native American dancers doing “Performance […]

This is a funny topic. As a post-left anarchist I find the topic of communism vs. capitalism to be among the stupidest of false dichotomies. Obviously I understand the critiques […]

This will be a strange conversation because, at least in the Bay Area, the term communist is an open term that could mean a person obsessed with foreign policy with […]

Principles and transgressions When one becomes an anarchist it is often in the context of a simple coda. No State, No masters, no capitalism. A purely negative definition that is […]

Editorial: Too many ends I have always been ambivalent about the end of the world. I grew up around Christians who were really into it and there was even a […]

Editorial: Occupy was and is a Rorschach test If David Graeber is to be believed then NYC Occupy was in the grand american democratic tradition. This is taken from the […]

This conversation ranged far and wide but was amazingly polite and productive. Or was it? Technology means … I apologize in advance that rather than being a short rant that […]

Of course we should leave! I, like most of you, had a plan in my twenties. I was going to do a thing to make a gob of money. Figured […]

How to talk about capitalism? Anarchists have largely agreed on the big two. Central to our politics is opposition to the State, or as we discussed last week the monopoly […]

This episode was about violence and how it distracts The conversation about violence is rarely a good one. Violence is referred to as if it is a choice, an individual […]

This episode was thematically about place. Where is Home? What is Home? This talk was at least half the episode concerned ideas around home and indigeneity. Also discussed were prefiguration, […]

Episode One of Anarchy Bang is filled with surprises. One is that the audio was a real challenge. Hopefully we will have that ironed out by next week. Two was […]

This was a testing the gear episode. It succeeded at that and we also had three calls (friends) and we talked about these topics… Technology Top 10 Science stories 2018 […]
