"Reality represents nothing more than the privilege of some founded on the slavery of the rest; not the individualistic, egoistic, shabby, and fictitious liberty extolled by the school of J-J. Rousseau and the other schools of bourgeois liberalism, which considers the would-be rights of all men, represented by the State which limits the rights of each—an idea that leads inevitably to the reduction of the rights of each to zero."
Currently digging: Long walks with my daughter and her new love of giving forehead kisses punctuated with an exaggerated MUAHHH, the writing of Daniel Guérin, catching up with friends, Emma Swift’s Blonde On The Tracks LP, the band Chain Cult, the latest issue of Ugly Things, proper Indian food, and getting writing done daily.
Not digging: Loud yuppie transplants in NY shirts, Bill de Blasio, boot-lickers (in particular old subculture types who once claimed to be anti-authoritarian), QAnon and conspiracy kooks (especially those from the "wellness community"), chinstrap maskers, the accelerated rise of American fascism, and on and on.
Quote from Daniel Guérin's L'Anarchisme: De La Doctrine Å L'Action (1965)
