Anarchy is natural order. Reset the world !

[anarcholiberalism-deactivated20]

In activist circles, it often feels like taking care of ourselves is selfish, when there is always an urgent action to deal with. But taking care of ourselves is also a social action - to preserve our strength and remain active in a place where injustices are so profound. The healthier we are, th emore we can do, the more we can offer support and the more our work is, ultimately, sustainable. Taking steps to deal with these issues is vital to our health as individuals as well as for ongoing work as a group.

a little rant about weddings, marriage, and anarchism

yes I'm an anarchist, yes I'm getting married, no I don't find this to be a conflict of interest, a moral quandary, or embarrassing.  So here I am staring to plan a wedding and I can find next to no resources for holding an anarchist wedding, almost everything I find simply says not to do it because the patriarchy or state marriage licenses or monogamy is wrong.  I'm just trying to find some wedding ideas that aren't full of formal capitalist crap and maybe some ideas about navigating the seas of wedding planning while still keeping your values intact.  I'm not looking to be told that I'm a bad anarchist for wanting to voluntarily pledge my love to a man in a spiritual (and potentially life changing) ceremony while my friends and family look on and celebrate with us.  

the thing is a wedding or marriage, just like any party or relationship can go hundreds of thousands of different ways.   Yes in some cases a wedding can represent all that is wrong in the world and as an anarchist I'm fighting against, like the transfer of a woman as property, ostentatious wealth, and rampant capitalism.  But weddings can also represent everything good in the world, like love, mutual cooperation, community, art, spiritual fulfillment, happiness, and so much more. 

 I'm not saying a wedding and marriage is for everyone, but it is for some people and some of those people are anarchists and I wish there was more information available about having a wedding that reflects those interests rather than just bashing the whole idea.

In Anarchism and Other Essays, Emma Goldman called Francisco Ferrer y Guardia a “rebel” whose, “spirit would rise in just indignation against the iron régime of his country…” Know more about Francisco Ferrer y Guardia at this link http://bit.ly/1cY7CJH

someone told me that I'm not a real anarchist because I use roads....

I’m having a wee laugh reading about the Moscow Soviet elections of 1921, there were 6 anarchist delegates elected to the Soviet - 6 out of 2115.

This is in 1921, some they’re facing some serious state oppression here and 6 is actually far more than you’d have expected, Bolsheviks were furious...
