★ Welcome to Zomia, the Anarchist Country You've Never Heard Of... ★
"Zomia is the largest remaining region of the world whose peoples have not yet been fully incorporated into nation-states. Its days are numbered. Not so very long ago, however, such self-governing peoples were the great majority of humankind...Zomia, then, has more or less ceased to exist as a non-state space. But the discovery of its past existence as an anarchist stronghold provides a powerful counter-narrative to our prevailing (historical) conception of civilisation and states..."
'Yet despite its formidable size and population, you won't be able to find Zomia on any contemporary world map. Or any historic one, for that matter. The reason why Zomia doesn't exist on any map and why you haven't heard of it is because Zomia never wanted to be known by you. In fact, the people of Zomia, at heart anarchists, spent their lives rejecting the idea of being citizens and protecting their status of statelessness' - Welcome to Zomia, the Anarchist Country You've Never Heard Of...: https://medium.com/@matthijsbijl/welcome-to-zomia-the-anarchist-country-youve-never-heard-of-6d2172da8ef3

Asian Anarchist, Anti-colonial and Anti-Authoritarian Reading List
Note: This was originally just a reading list that wasn’t started by me. The project eventually got abandoned and I remembered it recently, so I’m posting it here instead of Google Docs so more people can actually use it. I tried to clean it up a little but I’m too lazy to take away a bunch of the idiosyncrasies and asides that accumulated. Whatever could be found online (for free) is listed, whatever couldn’t is listed with the place to buy the book in question. Also I don’t use Tumblr so I have no clue if this will like delete itself or anything. Oh and Anti-Authoritarianism and Anarchism are used interchangeably, and things that really shouldn’t be considered anarchism (Indigenous Resistance to states and modern society for example) is listed because honestly more people need to know about it anyways. Share this if you want, it was rotting away on some godforsaken corner of the internet anyways, it needs sunlight.

Tradición y shock futuro: la lección de Zomia
Por Askr Svarte (Evgueni Nejasov)
Traducción de Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera
Extracto de Tradición y shock futuro: visiones de un futuro que no es el nuestro (PRAV Publishing, 2023)
En inglés, existe el modismo «living off the grid». En la vida cotidiana, esto significa vivir más allá de las líneas eléctricas y las redes de alcantarillado, es decir, vivir en la naturaleza salvaje sin los beneficios de la civilización, en una cabaña de madera, fuera del sistema, ganándose la vida de forma independiente y haciendo cosas artesanales. Vivir fuera de la red es lo que hicieron Theodore Kaczynski y en parte Pentti Linkola, el camino de los ermitaños religiosos, los «rebeldes del bosque» y los anarquistas místicos. Vivir fuera de la red significa salirse del sistema dominante de consumo.
En gráficos 3D, las cuadrículas son planos XYZ del espacio cartesiano tridimensional y redes poligonales de objetos 3D (modelos). A ellos se añade un eje más, el tiempo t, que da cuenta de todo el mundo cartesiano. «Vivir fuera de la red» desde este punto de vista significa vivir fuera del cartesianismo y de las simulaciones 3D/VFX/VR/AR de la realidad, saliendo no sólo de las redes de líneas eléctricas, subestaciones y comunicaciones de señales, sino también de la virtualidad y de la línea causal sujeto-objeto de la realidad.
Hoy sería un gesto radical de protesta y un acto revolucionario plantar un huerto propio, construir una casa en la taiga y asegurarse una fuente autónoma de agua, alimentos y energía de (dentro de) la naturaleza. Este es el camino de «la emboscadura», de la migración interior y el escapismo exterior.
Con su política y su geopolítica, sus partidos y sus elecciones, su economía y sus sistemas de producción, etc., el mundo exterior debe considerarse un paisaje inevitable y desfavorable, una manifestación de un clima muy malo, un entorno del que uno debe, de un modo u otro, extraer recursos para sí mismo y para su comunidad, al tiempo que habita en su periferia y le arrebata espacio para sí mismo.
El final escatológico podría estar aún muy lejos. Así, el imperativo evaluativo hacia la historia es la fórmula: «Más allá sólo empeora». Quedarse atrás en este mundo infernal de la sociedad tecnológica se justifica por la posición del bodhisattva jivanmukti, es decir, el que ha alcanzado la plena realización, pero ha decidido permanecer dentro o volver al mundo (samsara) para enseñar y mostrar a otras almas el camino de vuelta a casa.
La palabra «Zomia» procede del tibeto-birmano zomi, que significa «montañés». Zomia es el nombre de un territorio que abarca 2,5 millones de kilómetros cuadrados a lo largo de las zonas fronterizas de Vietnam, Birmania, Laos, Tailandia, Camboya y se cruza con las provincias chinas de Yunan, Sichuan, Guangxi y Guizhou. El territorio de Zomia se sitúa formalmente dentro de la región montañosa del Sudeste Asiático, densamente cubierta de selva. Sin embargo, de facto, Zomia no abarca todo el espacio continental, sino que comienza a una altitud de al menos 300 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
La población de Zomia está formada por cien millones de representantes de diversos grupos étnicos, tribus e identidades populares. Hasta hace muy poco, esta población no conocía los Estados-nación modernos ni ninguna forma de estatalidad en general. Además de los indígenas de las alturas de las montañas, durante siglos la población de Zomia estuvo formada por fugitivos que huían de las tierras y familias de los Estados de las tierras bajas que los habían esclavizado y rechazaban cualquier autoridad centralizada. Se unieron en familias, clanes y sociedades «anárquicas» y autogobernadas como las que, según James S. Scott, formaba toda la humanidad en la antigüedad. Desde el punto de vista de los Estados centralizados (a menudo mandala), Zomia estaba habitada por completos bárbaros.
