Paul's presumed theological anarchy in the context of lawlessness

Topic of the Week - I am writing a review of John H. Richardson’s 2025 Luigi: The Making and the Meaning. The back cover is a mural of him, out of London, depicting him in saintly fashion. Larger than life, solemn face, and a golden halo circling his head. The back cover also includes a quote from the book: “For a growing group of Americans who seem to be vibrating with existential anxieties, he became a screen onto which they projected their fears and dreams.” For anyone with interest in the fields of psychology , sociology, and history as applied to religion, this is nothing new

From Counterpunch by David S. D’Amato

I have a few thoughts in response to what seems like an uptick in interest in Dorothy Day (1897-1980) in recent years.

From No Selves, No Masters

Love it or hate it, the “Circle A” — scrawled on walls, carved in bathroom stalls, printed on punk merchandise or painted on rebellious banners — is among the most widely recognized symbols of anarchy and anarchism. Learning to spray paint the circle A as a teenager is every bit as joyful and liberating (and annoying to adults) as learning the word “no” is for a toddler. Later on, if we grow up into “serious anarchists”, we might learn that it has a deeper symbolic meaning: the circle is not just a circle, but an “O”. “Anarchy is the mother of Order”, they say. Whether or not this is actually true is less relevant than the meaning it holds for militancy1. We’re not just here to rebel and destroy anymore: we want to build a new world in the ashes of the old. No more juvenile “fuck you” graffiti politics for us, thanks.

From The Dugout

In this episode, we sit down with Anastasia bat Lilith to explore the intersections of Jewish anarchism, spirituality, and organizing. From the roots and lineages that shaped her text Teshuva to the ways Jewish ritual, decolonial thought, and anarchist praxis inform her daily life, Anastasia offers a deep and vulnerable conversation on building liberatory community.

From The Polar Blast - Anarchist Class War News & Views for Aotearoa

Atheism and anarchism are distinct positions, yet their intellectual and political trajectories have long intersected. Atheism, defined as the rejection of belief in gods or divine authority, represents a refusal to submit to transcendent powers. Anarchism, defined as the opposition to unjustified hierarchy and the advocacy of stateless, non-hierarchical social organisation, represents a refusal to submit to earthly rulers. Both challenge authority, obedience, and domination, albeit in different registers.
