I’d add - gentle reminder to people who DO have university library access, it is probably illegal for you to upload texts to these sites, despite the fact that you pretty much have a moral obligation to do so. 

And remember it’s not limited to your area of study. It is perfectly legal for you to do a bit of research into the various textbooks that are most in demand, and those which are most expensive, and find out if you have free access to them. 

Of course it would be illegal for you to remove the DRM and upload it to libgen, despite the fact that it’s a tangible, effective way of extending solidarity and breaking down the absurd barriers that capitalism puts on knowledge. 

So yes, don’t be tempted by this particular illegal action, which costs you nothing, and is the right thing to do.

To my knowledge there are no laws against donating bitcoin to libgen though, link on the site give a bitcoin address of: 12hQANsSHXxyPPgkhoBMSyHpXmzgVbdDGd

Ecology, anthropology, and anarchism - try some Brian Morris

Anyone interested in the ontological turn in anthropology; class-conscious radical ecology that is critical of anarcho-primitivism, anti-humanism, and nihilism; Bookchin’s social ecology; indigenous environmental knowledge; the co-opting of environmentalism by ecomodernism and “green capitalism”; and the incorporation of indigenous perspectives in academia and community organizing might enjoy reading some Brian Morris.

Morris, professor emeritus of anthropology at Goldsmiths, is an acolyte of Bookchin; he is an anarchist historian and ethnobiologist who works with indigenous environmental knowledge. He’s critical of individualism, egoism, nihilism, deep ecology, anti-civs, and an-prims. He’s fiery at times, and I don’t necessarily endorses everything he says. However, despite his criticisms of the spirituality in deep ecology and anti-civ discourse, he does specifically research indigenous cosmologies; so, he’s got some really well-informed and nuanced takes on nature religion and environmentalism. Morris, in critiquing the egoism of individualist anarchism and the anti-humanism of biocentric anarchism, advocates instead for an “ecological humanism.”

Morris - in historian mode - has authored some fine biographies of Kropotkin and Bakunin. I kind of liked his text The Anarchist Geographer: An Introduction to the Life of Peter Kropotkin (2012). Another good Morris text on the development of ecological thinking in anarchism is Pioneers of Ecological Humanism (2012), the title of which references Mumford, Dubos, and Bookchin; this text is available for free at Libcom dot org.

However, I like Morris’s writing most when he’s expounding on his own ecological perspective. You can find free Morris essays at The Anarchist Library’s site.

I really liked his Insects and Human Life (2004), an examination of the cultural meaning and importance of insects, using Malawi folk culture as a case study. Another text - which I loved, and which I think might be the most accessible and essential overview to Morris’s thinking - is Anthropology, Ecology, and Anarchism: A Brian Morris Reader (2014).

There's no such thing as an alpha male

Eric Trump recently made headlines by describing his father's bragging about sexual assault as "alpha." In nature, alpha males don't exist.

Oddly good article for business insider!

Anarchism will be nothing but a lifestyle if not connected to a positive program, anti politics can only take us so far! We need specifically anarchist formal organizations!

Otherwise libertarian communism will never be realized!

“Unhappily, hitherto our penal institutions have been nothing but a compromise between the old ideas of revenge, of punishment of the “bad will” and “sin,” and the modern ideas of “deterring from crime,” both softened to a very slight extent by some notions of philanthropy. But the time, we hope, is not far distant when the noble ideas which have inspired Griesinger, Krafft-Ebing, Despine, and some of the modern Italian criminalists, like Colajanni and Ferri, will become the property of the general public, and make us ashamed of having continued so long to hand over those whom we call criminals to hangmen and jailers. If the conscientious and extensive labours of the writers just named were more widely known, we should all easily understand that most of those who are kept now in jails, or put to death, are merely people in need of the most careful fraternal treatment. I do not mean, of course, that we ought to substitute lunatic asylums for prisons. Far be it from me to entertain this abhorrent idea. Lunatic asylums are nothing else but prisons; and those whom we keep in prisons are not lunatics, nor even people approaching the sad boundary of the borderland where man loses control over his actions. Far be from me the idea which is sometimes brought forward as to maintaining prisons by placing them under pedagogists and medical men. What most of those who are now sent to jail are in need of is merely a fraternal help from those who surround them, to aid them in developing more and more the higher instincts of human nature which have been checked in their growth either by some bodily disease — anemia of the brain, disease of the hearth, the liver, or the stomach — or, still more, by the abominable conditions under which thousands and thousands of children grow up, and millions of adults are living, in what we call our centres of civilization. ”

-Pyotr Kropotkin, “Are Prisons Necessary?” (1887).
