THIS IS GREEN ANARCHISM
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
CIVILISATION IS EXPLOITATION
|
|
|
|
Mass society is too complex to work without specialisation.
|
|
Specialised division of labour alienates us from each other
|
|
and creates a hierarchy needed to co-ordinate production.
|
|
Hierarchy divides society into the powerful and powerless.
|
|
The powerless are treated as objects to be exploited.
|
|
Exploitation on grounds of class, gender, ethnicity and
|
|
sexual preference is intrinsic to mass society. Mass society
|
|
cannot be reformed. It must be replaced.
|
|
|
|
SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL
|
|
|
|
Mass society must be replaced with communities small enough
|
|
for each person in them to be respected as an autonomous
|
|
individual. In small communities, self-determination would
|
|
replace hierarchy. You can't fight mass with mass. If our
|
|
means and ends are to be consistent, we must organise in
|
|
networks of autonomous small groups to replace mass society.
|
|
|
|
LAND OR DEATH
|
|
|
|
Mass society alienates people from the Earth. By controlling
|
|
the Earth's resources, the State controls society. We must
|
|
end our dependence on the State by taking back the land and
|
|
living self-sufficiently. By re-establishing our relationship
|
|
with the Earth, we undermine the hierarchical thinking that
|
|
is destroying it.
|
|
|
|
REVOLUTION ON THE PERIPHERY
|
|
|
|
Mass society needs resources from across the planet to survive.
|
|
Those most exploited by it are those that work the land in the
|
|
Third World, only to have the fruits of their labour exported
|
|
to profit the rich. They have nothing to lose by taking back
|
|
the land at the expense of mass society. As less resources are
|
|
imported from the Third World, mass society won't be able to
|
|
come up with the goods in this country. Self-governing, self-
|
|
sufficient small communities will be more needed and easier to
|
|
establish as the State loses control of the rest of the planet.
|
|
|
|
AUTONOMY NOW
|
|
|
|
We must support the revolution on the periphery by making our
|
|
own here. We must share the skills needed to survive without
|
|
the State, create a culture of resistance to free us from the
|
|
alienation of mass society, live free of exploitation by
|
|
boycotting banks and multinationals, building an alternative
|
|
green and black economy and defending ourselves and the Earth
|
|
by taking direct action against military bases and labs,
|
|
developers and industry, exploitation and bigotry.

*SECURITY*

If you want to get in touch with us green anarchists, remember
|

that the State thinks we're subversives and regularly monitors

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SECURITY
|

When writing to us, use a false name or your forename only,
|
|
and a PO box or c/o address if you want a reply. Payment by
|
|
postal order or cash is safer than poxy cheques. This is not a
|
|
free country, so be warned - carelessness over security can get
|
|
you blacklisted or worse!
