Depression and Anarchism
My whole life has been a series of trips back and forth to the hospital, to the psychiatrist, to the psychologist, and now to addiction specialists… I recently discovered anarchism, and I must say it both helps and depresses me even more. It's as if I've found the reason for my suffering, my anger, but I'm also confronted with the fact that it will never end in a century like ours. I feel misunderstood by others, and at the same time, I refuse to let myself die, to deprive myself of living because of this system. But now I find myself facing my own cowardice, facing the feeling that I have to be part of the crowd to convince myself I can be happy.

Building a Decentralized Knowledge Commons — Looking for Volunteers
Hey r/Anarchism,
I’m Archon Jade. I’m working on a small mutual-aid knowledge project, not a platform or archive.
After talking with librarians and Open Access folks, one thing became clear:
• We don’t need another centralized “liberation library.”
• What is missing is a decentralized discovery database: a map of where free, legal knowledge already lives, especially banned, marginalized, and suppressed material.
So the core project now is a Discovery Database, not a mega-archive.
It answers one question:
Where can this information be accessed freely, legally, and reliably?
It indexes and cross-links:
• PD / CC / OA / permissioned texts
• banned & challenged books
• liberation libraries
• mutual-aid & community archives
• academic repositories
• cultural & religious archives offering free access
No ownership. No paywalls. No gatekeeping.
Just a map so people don’t need insider knowledge to find what already exists.
A small “Liberation Library” still exists, but only as:
• a redundancy node
• a mirror for high-risk or orphaned texts
• emergency preservation when things disappear
This is built assuming censorship, platform failure, and institutional collapse so decentralization isn’t optional.
I’m now looking for volunteers, not credentials.
If this sounds useful, check the comment below for concrete ways to help.
Knowledge hoarding is power.
Access is defense.

Emma Goldman’s “internal tyrants”.. Is radical autonomy possible in a modern relationship?
I’ve recently been diving into Emma Goldman’s The Traffic in Women and Marriage and Love (shoutout to the Anarchist library). I’m a woman in my 20s, and while I’ve always considered myself independent, reading her work while being in a committed relationship is creating some major cognitive dissonance for me.
Goldman talks a lot about "internal tyrants", the social and psychological scripts we follow that make us prioritize a partner’s needs or social "security" over our own growth. She argues that marriage (and by extension, many traditional romantic structures) is an economic and spiritual trap that "parasitizes" a woman’s individuality.
My question is: In 2025 (almost 2026, woah), can we actually achieve the "Love in Freedom" she describes?
I love my partner, but I find myself noticing those "internal tyrants" everywhere now, like the subtle ways I compromise my schedule or my headspace to maintain the relationship's harmony. Goldman seems to suggest that true love can only exist when two people are totally "sovereign" units, but in a world built on domestic interdependence, is that just a beautiful utopia? Or are there ways to practice Goldman style radical autonomy without being completely solitary?
I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried to apply her theory of "the right to self-expression" to their actual dating life. How do you stop the relationship from becoming a "shackle" (as she puts it) without losing the intimacy?

I'm not an American. I didn't even know about Epstein before. But it completely broke my heart to see such amount of so called civilized people as barbarians. I saw a Noam choamsky's photo there with Epstein. Can anyone tell me if he was involved in all these?

Got the police involved and i regret it. Can I un-report stolen property?
Good morning,
I'm not an anarchist myself but I figured y'all would know.
This morning I found my car missing. I called the cops to make sure it hadn't been towed, and when it was clear it hadn't been I ended up following instructions and filing a police report.
I live in an immigrant neighborhood and now I'm scared that if the police get involved, it might end with someone getting deported. I don't want that to happen - not even the thief. I really just did it so I could show the report number to my boss when I ask to WFH. Given how fucking old my car is, it's probably being stripped for parts as we speak, and i just assumed that the police wouldn't *actually* do anything. But now I'm thinking this might be the most dangerously reckless thing I've done in a long time.
Can I take it back? From an insurance and workplace standpoint, do I *need* a police report?

Practical advise on money management of an anarcho org?
Hello friends and comrades,
I’m looking for advice on practical and constructive organizing and governance of money within an anarcho org.
As many of you would have encountered this issue, our orgs unfortunately need money. We have to hold it somewhere and manage it in a way that is both effective and efficient but also accounts with systems of organizing and governance that are informed by our values.
Our situation is that we are in a large city and we have recently seen a surge of new food distro chapters. One long-standing chapter—already running like a well-oiled machine—helped seed several smaller, neighborhood-based chapters across the city. Now folks are exploring how to coordinate and federate these smaller chapters.
That umbrella org is in need of a bank account of some kind.
Can folks recommend anything we can use for that purpose? Note, we are based in Canada.
Do folks know if there are any guides or case studies on how other anarcho orgs have managed their finances?
We are exploring various options like our local credit union and if we don’t find anything better, this is what we are going to go with.
Are there any of those modern fin-tech companies we could use?
Issues we are concerned with include collective governance and management. How to we distribute power to spend the said funds, in a way that is on one side not too bureaucratic, like needing multiple people come into the branch and sign papers, but also that the collective has some input on the process so that one person does not carry the exclusive weight of the responsibility?
On top of that, can folks recommend if they use any other accounting systems to keep track of spending and do any sort of financial planning?
Would also appreciate any recommendations of forums where I could ask this question outside of Reddit.
Thank you and in Solidarity!

Peter Joseph's INTEGRAL White Paper V0.1 is finally released for reading and analysis!
Here's the link: https://integralcollective.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/INTEGRAL-Paper-V0.1-com2.pdf
I've long before written a few posts regarding this, and it appears it's finally come - Peter Joseph's (the Zeitgeist Movement guy) paper on the extensive project he's been working on, called Integral, aimed at bringing about and facilitating a thorough economic and social transition away from capitalism and market economics at a societal/civilizational scale, is finally out.
SPOILER ALERT - it's 345 pages long, so tread carefully. It's just been released so I cannot yet comment much on its contents but based on what I do know from his various podcasts on the Revolution Now! YouTube channel (revolutionnowpodcast?si=RcYnz5_bcMX2gjyg" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/@revolutionnowpodcast?si=RcYnz5_bcMX2gjyg), it is very close in spirit and methodology to various anarchist organizational prescriptions and philosophy and, at least in theory, seems quite promising, so I think it deserves to be posted on anarchist subreddits and, if anyone who reads it come to deem it deserving of sharing further - reposted.

rebellion. Klein notes that this form of resistance thrives on the very commercialism it critiques: “Culture jamming is enjoying a resurgence, in part because of technological advancements but also more pertinently, because of the good old rules of supply and demand. Something not far from the surfaces of the public psyche is delighted to see the icons of corporate power subverted and mocked.” This is not polite discourse; it is aggressive, visual warfare against the corporate monologue. As Klein concludes on the ethos of this movement: “There is, in short, a market for it. With commercialism able to overpower the traditional authority of religion, politics and schools, corporations have emerged as the natural targets for all sorts of free-floating rage and rebellion. The new ethos that culture jamming taps into is go-for-the-corporate-jugular.”
This book is a critical tool for understanding the modern world. While the specific brands may have evolved since its publication, with tech giants replacing apparel companies as the primary colonizers of mental space, the mechanism remains identical. Klein successfully illuminates the dark matter of the global economy: the invisible link between the shiny logo in the shopping mall and the sweatshop floor, and the link between the politician's slogan and the preservation of the status quo. By diagnosing the disease of branded existence, No Logo invites the reader to reclaim their mental and physical space, demanding a political awareness that transcends consumption.
Synergistic Links and Further Reading:
• The Shock Doctrine: While No Logo explains how corporations seduce us during times of peace through branding, The Shock Doctrine explains how they conquer us during times of crisis. The "economic dimension" discussed in No Logo (outsourcing, deregulation) is the status quo that "shock tactics" are often used to enforce.
• This Changes Everything: This represents the ultimate external cost of the No Logo lifestyle. The relentless drive for "new products" and "manufactured difference" (as quoted in the economic section) fuels the extractionism that drives the climate crisis. This book moves the critique from cultural space to the survival of the planetary ecosystem.
• No is not Enough: Klein argues that Donald Trump is the ultimate "Superbrand"—the inevitable monstrosity created when the logic of reality TV and corporate branding (which she critiqued in No Logo) completely swallows the political system. It combines her central arguments from No Logo, Shock Doctrine, and This Changes Everything to one systemic lens with which to analyze the Trump presidency.
• Society of The Spectacle: Debord’s theory provides the philosophical foundation for Klein’s observations. What Klein calls "branding" and the "colonization of mental space," Debord calls the "Spectacle", a social relationship between people that is mediated by images and alienates the worker from the products of his labor. In regards to "fetishization" Debord’s concept of "commodity fetishism" which built upon Marxist economic theory of value, attempts to get to the heart of the profit making mechanism in capitalism. A mechanism that by design obscures the worker and the social relations behind the commodity. If interested, read more about "reification" and "alienation". When it comes to the proposed solution, the "Culture Jamming" movement is the modern successor to the Situationist International’s practice of "detournement", turning the expressions of the capitalist system against itself to create new, subversive meanings.
