🚨 Final pt out, reflecting on how anarchism must avoid both dogmatic rigidity and paralyzing over-reflection. Leave that to the ideologies 😎 Thanks for following the 32-week series and for all your thoughtful feedback.

🚨 Pt 31 out. In this penultimate part we explore the relationship between anarchy and religion/spirituality. It shows that the anti-hierarchical rejection of clerical castes and dogmatic institutional feudalism stands opposite a deep existential mysticism.

🚨 Part 30 out. “Absolute liberation” in anarchism means recognizing that “freedom” is often misused to hide power. Anarchism instead understands freedom as ongoing, unconditional liberation through inclusive, non-hierarchical, decentralized ways of shaping reality.

🚨 Pt. 29 out. Anarchy means the diverse, vibrant relationships living beings form are an end in themselves. We exist with anarchism to relate to one another, not to use those relations as tools—a path that leads straight to domination.

🚨 Pt27 out. Another goal of anarchism is realizing life in “Bread and Roses” (cf. Rose Schneiderman, 1911): creating conditions where life isn’t limited to mere survival (bread) but equally allows fulfillment, participation, creativity, and self-determination (roses).
