TotW: Don't Trust Anyone Under 30!
The other day, at an anarchist gathering, I was talking to some people, and one of them, going through this age transition, was reflection on the phrase and what it meant as an anarchist. We didn't have time to go too deep in the conversation but I thought it was an interesting topic, since some anarchists do reach, and go beyond, the age of 30.

TOTW: What is post-left?
Guest TOTW by John Zerzan
Topic of the Week: What is post-Left? Various groups, projects, etc. including anarchistnews are referred to as 'post-Left." What does that actually mean, what does it signify or include? Others (e.g. JZ) feel that anti-Left is a required orientation. Is post-Left a substantive designation?

TOTW: Delusional thoughts
Anarchy, as a concept and lived way of being, is alluring to some because of its delusion. The reminder that impossibility is possible, that moments of self-destruction and creation can displace limits imposed on us by the State, one another, and ultimately ourselves can appear as a freedom as well as a crushing burden. What's the difference, anyway? “It’s what you make of it,” as the saying goes.
