Some Questions To Be Addressed Before Milwaukee and the Bay

From Bash Back News
September 17, 2024

If we name a tendency, how do we make that tendency spread like fire? How can we make that tendency escape the dead-ends of liberal identity politics and/or academia and/or activism? How will we find commonality with forms-of-life that bash back? How can we make this world explode?

Is our violence of substance or of image? Are we joking when we write about violence?

From Bash Back News

sexy freaqs seek sexy time for anarchist convergence while building skills and bonds with other sexy freaqs

With time afterward to wine and dine? Well, we got that all here, and it's all kinds of fucking queer. We are gearing up for Bash Back! 24 NE REGIONALS in Philly!

MhTAC announces insurgent queer reading group in suburbs

So we are hosting a reading group, at the Prairie Cafe on November 18 from 10 AM to noon CT. To send the shivers of releasing power--the White Flag, surrender--through the profoundly closeted onlookers who will inevitably be horrified, and to awaken the warmth of autonomy--the Black Flag, transgression--in those who would dominate us and erase themselves. Our text is "White Flag / Black Flag: A Spiritual Anarchism Workbook," a work that explores the individualist anarchist values of self-liberation without the domination of others fused with classical Chinese literary structures of chance and choice.

The Spook and the Spectre: When Black Anarchism Knocks at The Master’s Door

From Bash Back

We’re here to speak on the culture of black anarchism being discussed in some previous report backs. Very insightful and meaningful report backs but measuring the locality of Black anarchism seems to be a feat that has been left up to the petty bourgeois and/or biracial anarchists who either belong to and/or have proximity to the very same white sub-cultural anarchic spaces they critique and therefore have a very limited understanding concerning historical consciousness and relevancy of the Black Radical Tradition.

My Queer Insurrection is Black as Night

From Bash Back News

Bash Back 2023 was more or less what I expected it to be, a healthy amount of faggotry in-between questionable politics and ultra-violence. Shout out to the wrestling! What was also expected was the all-too-familiar experience of being a black anarchist in the predominately white anarchist subculture. This is why “Black anarchist reflections” felt like the most refreshing thing that’s come out the bb! for me. I feel that it is worth adding a few more things to what those folks said.

Black Anarchist Reflections, From Bash Back! and Beyond

From Bash Back

We are writing this document as black anarchist attendees of Bash Back! who are trying to grapple with some of the broader issues/organizational questions within the black anarchist milieu and how those convos came up during the weekend for us and our homies. While we come from a variety of political backgrounds, we share a committed desire to insurrection and revolt for black autonomy. It was great to meet one another and kick it over the weekend. We got to hash out the answers to some questions. There was a lot of necessary conflict at Bash Back!. While reportbacks are fun, though often misleading, our aim in this document is to talk in a broader, abstract way about some of the questions and dynamics that occurred for black participants.

A Bash Back! reportback from a group of janky & rowdy queers

who had a gay old time

From Scenes from the Atlanta Forest

Bash Back! was nothing short of the joyfully militant & orgiastically unhinged gathering it advertised itself to be– queer AF, silly, sexy & sketchy antics ensued almost every day/nite. A lot of us felt held in an urban space where there was room to be all kinds of things & ways, & not much was taboo.

Fuck Bash Back! 23

From Bash Back

Fuck these middle aged organizers and their bullshit attempts to appease our rage. We will not be fucking stopped. Were you ever even nihilists?? You are almost as bad as the tiqqunists. We’re not some academic conference. So we’re saying no more workshops. All we want is orgies and actions. We want to be together and fight when we need to and wherever the fuck we want.
