An overly generous doomsday narrative is circulating in popular media: the nuclear family is on its way out. While I’m not so optimistic, fewer people are getting married and “intentional childlessness” is a more defensible position than in previous decades.
From Anarchy Bang
This week we will try to have an conversation about anarchist principles. In a forgotten past anarchist principles were how anarchists didn't participate in infighting. We were in solidarity with each other. We helped a comrade out (with our marginal resources) because we believed that it was through mutual aid that we were stronger than those who did not have the Beautiful Idea. And because it all mattered we associated with each other freely (including in love). How has this past sensibility informed anarchist practice today and how have things changed? Do we still maintain the old principles or has the anarchist space gotten too large and only local team principles apply? Has media (especially so-called social media) made things better or worse?
