The Truth About Anarchism

all right

what's up everybody

here i am and you guys hi why were you

late i was taking this shit for like an

hour and a half

and that's literally done give me a sec

speaking of

they make the medicine go down the

goddamn

bottle of water i was legit sitting on

the toilet for 90 minutes okay

no joke all right did i get it out i got

it i'm good

i'm also dieting a little bit

reason i've started the diet a little

bit is because i've been eating a lot of

fucking garbage shit junk food

and

you know i just i just have a

self-regulating metabolism

of the mind right i just yeah so that's

just getting some

issues you know someone told me

he's actually neat feet he's like hoz

you want to start sleeping better eat

some goddamn lettuce because i never see

you eating lettuce that's so right i

never eat lettuce when i get a sandwich

i get rid of the lettuce i get rid of

the lettuce i'm gonna start eating more

lettuce lettuce will be the key right

um anywho

i'm sure you all missed me

uh one of the reasons why i didn't

stream yesterday is because i was

getting a new monitor

thank god i managed to get one

uh and i got a used one

from best buy

so if you guys want to see

gold guy

this is uh the end of venero

i want everyone to be super sedimental

and shit about this at the end of the

europe this this guy got busted

you can't see the thing is

when i turned it off i realized i can't

see any visible damage but when you turn

it on

like this whole part right here is like

broken it's damaged right

i don't know is that i didn't have time

to you know fuck i can't i don't know

how to repair a monitor

so anyway

that was a really stupid and reckless

mistake i made

and

here's what it is we keep moving we keep

moving but that was a stupid and

regrettable wasteful mistake you know

i'm gonna be more careful next time

because

i was yeah i was just horsing around a

little bit too much and yeah

hopefully it doesn't happen again

like 23 inches 24 inches

uh anywho

some some stuff has happened in the past

few days and i was actually gonna stream

about this yesterday i'm so glad we're

gonna stream about it today because

today's stream is gonna be about

anarchism we're gonna delve into the

origins of anarchism what is anarchism

what has its influence been on the

so-called left

and the synthetic left that i should add

as well

and we're going to get into all of that

and the reason i wanted to get into this

yesterday actually was because yesterday

we there was some news and i want to

show you this stuff

so

i'm just going to update you briefly

we're not going to get into too much

twitter stuff

i promise that it's not a twitter drama

stream

it's just that there's some snooze that

i can only access from twitter that's

relevant right

so this is what happened

this is more or less what happened

all right so this is the pretext of what

we're dealing with here

and all right

so the the pc usa believe it or not it

was the piece usa

set up a table at an anarchist book fair

in the bay area right

and this is them you know they're at

their table yada yada and some

anarchists came up to them and flipped

their damn table

they flipped their table

and then let me show you what they did

to the bus

let me show you what they did they

flipped the table

i think the person privated their

account

but like they stole all of the bus

there's some lenin bus some marks busts

they stole they jacked everything they

smashed the lenin bus

they pretty much wrecked the whole thing

and engaged in this kind of you know

violence

against some people who were just

peacefully having their own table right

so it opened up a huge discourse

which kind of awakened something in me

where i was like hey you know what i've

been taking for granted a big fact that

like you know like 75 of my enemies are

anarchists and i don't even address them

ever i never even talk about anarchism

or go into anarchism or the problem that

is anarchism

so we need to start talking about what

anarchism actually is so i did make a

thread briefly giving my thoughts on

anarchism and basically my thesis is

that

one of the biggest things that's held

communists back in western countries is

that

for some reason we're like fellow

travelers with anarchists and oh we

disagree about some stuff but we're

ultimately all leftists and today's

stream i want to really hammer home

the qualitative difference between

communism and anarchism

and also talk about contemporary

so-called anarchism to make it very very

clear that this is a really misguided

worldview right

um

but in the meantime we are actually

organizing our own response

to

uh the the

table incident

and

i'm so excited to announce this on

stream ladies and gentlemen i am so

excited to announce this

did jackson raiders for something by the

way but i'm so excited to announce this

by the way

um i'm so excited i'm so excited

i cannot wait to tell you about this

this is such

this is great news

we

are officially responding

to the anarchist

book fair table incident

by scheduling and we are doing this one

way or another we're doing it we are

reserving our own spot

setting i'm set contacting with

everybody setting it up we are official

i'm pleased to announce the infrared

book table at the portland oregon

anarchist book fair that is going to be

happening sometime at the end of the

summer infrared table and we are they're

not going to be flipping our table and i

tell you that much because let me tell

you why

okay

let me tell you why we got some security

okay

so first first up this guy's gonna be

there

uh he's defending us right he's gonna be

patrolling the place and making sure our

table doesn't get flipped

and then we also enlisted guess who came

around they're not fucking with us all

right they're not going near our table

they're not going near us

let them try to flip our table

let them try to flip our table okay

we're enlisting his help for the

anarchist book fair

uh you know anyone who's got a problem

with that you're barking up the wrong

fucking tree because you don't want a

piece of this and then look who else is

coming around yeah all of them all three

of them now it now let me tell you

something in public if you ask them

they're gonna deny it because i told

them to deny it because for security

purposes but just know

they're gonna be here we're gonna have

dozens of other people there for

security to protect the infrared book

table

at the anarchist book fair in portland

oregon 2022 everybody's gonna be there

it's gonna be just like the portland

netflix march we're all gonna be there

we're all gonna be at that book fair and

let's see if the anarchists are gonna do

something let them try some shit let

them try some shit i dare them i dare

them to try something they're not gonna

do shit to us there's their fucking

pussies they won't do a goddamn thing to

us i guarantee it i guarantee it you

understand they're not gonna do a

fucking thing to us

fucking pussies we're gonna take over

your book fair

we're taking over your book fair it's

gonna be and we are officially declaring

the infrared book table to be the

portland book fair

state we are declaring ourselves the

state which means we have the power to

do anything we want to anyone with no

repercussions and we have power and

authority we will be the authority at

the event we're just not going to use it

unless we're provoked so we are going to

be the authority at the portland oregon

anarchist book fair we will be the

authority

and it will be our state and and they

can't do anything about them they're

gonna they can try to abolish us they

can try to do something they're not

gonna do shit okay jason's gonna be

patrolling with his bat

up and down up and down up and down you

don't even know this dude's gonna you

know he's gonna this guy's a twin

there's twins of them they're gonna be

on each side you're not gonna do shit

you're not gonna do a fucking thing

bitch

and this is gonna be in retaliation for

what they did

and by the way

let's just say um

let's just say

we

we we don't really just believe in an

eye for an eye we believe in an eye for

two eyes

so let's just say there's gonna be more

than a few tables we're gonna be

flipping over at the portland oregon

anarchist book fair we will flip their

tables just to just um you know so they

could pay for what they did we're

flipping their tables uh jason's

flipping their tables we're not gonna

flip all of them we're gonna flip like

five of them five other tables will be

flipped you're not gonna do anything

about it you're completely powerless

against the overwhelming power of the

state there's nothing you can do about

it all you could do is cry it's our book

fair it's going to be called the

infrared book fair actually

and we're not even rspving there we're

just gonna set up our thing and we're

getting a big stalin statue about eight

feet tall stalin statue they're not

gonna do anything right

they're not gonna do a damn thing

they're not doing anything to arvin okay

so that's my response to that okay

now in all seriousness

in all seriousness i have mucus in my

throat i'll literally be right back

all right

all right

jesus christ

okay so

i am a little congested so bear with me

i've got some shit in my throat whatever

um

i'm not going to show you any more

twitter for now but i just want to say

that nothing that sparked this was that

you know someone in my tweet replies

in one of my tweets

basically asked me the following

question

how could you say anarchism is fascist

can you name any anarchist societies

where a genocide occurred and i said

that's an easy easy question uh i can

name nazi germany it was an anarchist

society clearly committed a lot of

genocides he said how are the nazis

anarchists and i said well

absolutely hitler was an anarchist

uh the nazis are anarchists and even

even neo-nazis and today's anarchists

come from the same subcultures right

it's the same fucking thing and this set

twitter into a shit storm everybody lost

their mind and got really butthurt

and uh mad about it

and the main reason for that is actually

uh it's something called midwicks so a

midwit is basically like a dumb fuck who

like read a few wikipedia pages and

basically thinks it's intelligent that

they're able to like define these

distinct wikipedia pages like there's a

wikipedia page for anarch in them and

there's a wikipedia page for fascism and

they're two different pictures on

they're not they're not really capable

of like thinking about the matter and

anything like

they're not able to think about it below

the surface or like deeper in any

capacity whatsoever

so that's what i call a midwife a

midwife basically looks at what i said

and they're like

how could you say hitler was an

anarchist

and i just don't say that

hitler didn't call himself an anarchist

and he'd want to abolish the state there

was still a state in nazi germany huh

and they think these this is like an

intelligent criticism

uh as if i didn't if i never if only i

would have thought of that guys if only

i would have thought of that if only i

would have thought of the fact that

anarchists in terms of what they report

their ideology to mean is very different

from what it actually means in reality

if only i would have thought of the fact

that saying hitler was an anarchist was

counter-intuitive oh wow it's not like

the whole fucking point of the tweet is

to like actually to get you to think

critically about it um

i never thought of the fact that this

would be counterintuitive guys it's not

like this is a specific irony i'm trying

to put out like that one movie right the

hundred days of solo

where the actor he's like

he's like we fascist all the true

anarchists

and then everybody who watched that film

that like academy award film they're all

like oh my god so deep

but when i say it apparently it's like

uh

that's stupid you know what i mean

100 days of sodom or whatever right

so anyway

i'm gonna get down to the basics and get

down to business get to the fucking meat

and potatoes right

what is anarchism

what is anarchism

i want to begin by telling you what

anarchism is not okay

anarchism is not a doctrine it's not a

doctrine

it's not something invented by a thinker

it's not a set of principles and values

it's not an ideal about what society

should be

that my friends

would be idealism that would be the most

superficial acquaintance with the actual

meaning of the word anarchism because it

neglects a few things a few crucial

things from materials perspective one

it neglects the crucial changes in

actual history

that gave rise to that very stance and

perspective in the first place

it neglects what that actually means in

practice on a material level in relation

to the state

it also neglects

most importantly and most fundamentally

and the midwifes have to bear with me

here because you're not very educated or

literate about these

things it ignores

the underlying aesthetic that actually

defines anarchists

having a british accent makes everyone

think you have 100 plus more iq points

than you really do yeah thanks mini dog

so

what is an aesthetic is an aesthetic

just like a costume and a cosmetic thing

no most dumb fucks look at the word

aesthetic and they're like ow an

aesthetic that's like just the

superficial appearance of something no

an aesthetic is the deeper way in which

we make sense of the world now the

reason this particular literary use of

the word aesthetic has fallen out of

favor because with empiricism and a

bunch of other mental mentally retarded

trends um we've come to think that we

all just share the same sense of the

world and that the only sense of the

world we can have is the empirical

whatever scientific kind right but

there's also another sense

in which you can have you can make sense

of the world

which would be broadly you know

understood within either a critique of

ideology let's say in an althussarian

sense it could be in a psychoanalytic

sense like in the case of lacan or the

the post lacanian theorists uh it could

also be

in a religious sense of the underlying

kind of religious structure right about

you know how people say well communism

is actually christian and yada yada yada

so there's def there's a multitude of

ways in which you can think about how we

make sense of the world in different

ways how the world and meaning becomes

coherent to us

in various different ways right i'm not

just talking about our physical senses

i'm talking about like how we find

meaning in the world which is like the

most important thing for a fucking human

being right

so that's what an aesthetic is

an aesthetic is not just an appearance

it's not just a superficial costume it's

the deeper way in which we make sense of

the world that is what an aesthetic is

it means deeper sense so when you think

of the word aesthetic i want you to

think deeper sense and it's this deeper

aesthetic that actually does define what

anarchism is it's not defined by what

the self-proclaimed theorists of

anarchism the side anarchism should be

it is defined by the actual way in which

anarchists respond

uh to the antagonisms of the modern

world right and how they make sense more

importantly how they make sense of those

contradictions and antagonisms

now that's gonna sound like a whole lot

of nothing but as i continue to

delve into the origins of anarchism and

fill this whole thing with content i

think it's going to be made pretty clear

so the first thing i want to do to

introduce you

to what anarchism is

the crucial context i should rather say

that gave rise

to what is called anarchism and

anarchistic thinking

is a poem

it's a poem

fuck

it's a poem by a guy named

percy shelley the the poet of english

romanticism

it's a poem by percy shelley and the

poem is basically called

sorry it is called the mask of anarchy

percy shelley

wrote this poem the mask of anarchy

in the context of the world transformed

after the french revolution

and in this poem he basically denounces

the hypocrisy

of the status quo of the monarchy and of

the police and of the law and of

property and all the priests and the

clerics and he basically

claims basically in his poem or he he uh

gives expression to the fact

that

all of these seemingly substantive forms

of the state

of um

religiosity uh everything that is holy

sacred property law monarchy all of

these are masks which disguise their

opposite

they are the masks of anarchy so i'm

going to read you some lines right

and he wore a kingly crown and in his

grasp a scepter shone on his brow this

mark i saw i am god and king and law

right

um

with a pace stately and fast over

english land he passed

trampling to the mire of blood

the adoring multitude so in this poem

shelley is kind of talking about how

something has happened

this is my interpretation at least that

this mask

is increasingly being worn and it's

being used as an excuse to trample over

the english people in some kind of way

right this is the rising proletariat is

occurring at this time you've got an

increasing level of social unrest and

also you're dealing with the context

after the english civil war which is

probably the most important context and

i'm going to explore here to to actually

derive the origins of anarchism right

um

and each dweller panic stricken felt his

heart terror stricken

hearing the temptuous cry of the triumph

of anarchy so he's talking about

basically this force which is wearing

the mask of god king and law

but actually represents the triumph of

some kind of anarchy now how could that

be right

um

well that's why it's a mask right

for with pomp to meet his came clothed

in arms like blood and flame the hired

murderers who did his sing

thou art god and law and king so they

sang this is what they were singing

uh

i'm not going to read you the whole

thing but i just want to read you parts

right then she lay down in the street

right before the horse's feet expecting

with a patient eye

murder fraud and anarchy right so these

three things god law and whatever

monarchy whatever the crown

it's actually murder fraud and anarchy

right he's exposing the hypocrisy

basically he's

he's engaging in this

unity of apparently contrary

associations

which is what art pretty much is by the

way

a pretty long poem so i'm just going to

skip

uh

a lot of shit

then all cried in one accord thou art

king and god and lord

anarchy to thee we bow

be thy holy

be thy name made holy now

and anarchy the skeleton

bowed and grinned to everyone

as well as if his education had cost 10

millions

to the nation

and anarchy the ghastly birth laid dead

upon the earth

lay dead earth upon the earth the horse

of death tameless as wind

field and with his hooves did grind to

dust the murderer strong behind

okay so this this i encourage you to go

read the whole thing

thematically the point of this poem more

or less it's pretty simple right

all of these things that have come to

epitomize the legitimacy of the status

quo of his time and when was this poem

written exactly i think it was what 18

1832 okay

1832 so this is you know

about

40 40 years maybe like let's say it's

half a century after the french

revolution

uh all the things that have epitomized

the legitimacy of the status quo of his

time

um actually it's a mask disguising some

kind of anarchy now what is this anarchy

what is anarchy what is the anarchy that

it's talking about right again i'm not

going to proceed from oh we're going to

talk about godwin and we're going to

talk about um

proton well i'm going to talk about

proton believe it or not but

that's not what defines what anarchism

is what defines what anarchism is

is a deeper aesthetic again it's a

deeper way of making sense

of contradictions contradictions of the

era now i just exposed to you the

premier contradiction that would give

rise to anarchism and all sorts of

political sentiment and radicalism which

is this apparent contradiction

between the way in which the ruling

order is trying to legitimize itself and

it's actually existing reality like like

shelley's saying right

you say that you represent god and law

and the crown and that you engage in all

these criminal excesses that clearly

point to us the opposite right or in the

words of proton himself right property

is theft

right property is theft so in the same

way that property is theft according to

proton where shelley here the

monarchical state

of britain at the time and this is after

the french revolution it's some kind of

anarchy it represents a type of anarchy

right

so

now that we've got that clear

we're going to talk about

the english civil war a little bit right

and i can't get too into this i mean i

could literally go on for hours i really

want to give this justice but

more or less

the reformation did something

interesting right this rejection of the

church and the authority of the church

pretty much had set

everything it called everything into

question right with the protestant

reformation yada yada namely like

okay our

way of mediating our relationship to the

divine

was clearly false the catholic church is

the antichrist yada yada right so if

that's the case what else have we been

getting wrong more or less right what

else have you been getting wrong so all

of a sudden everything gets called into

question everything

and the most important of those things

that gets called into question is the

state the legitimacy of the state

all of a sudden

the state

goes from something that's just kind of

there that you're not really able to

think critically about in any kind of

way and i'll be like huh what about the

ancient great just shut up shut up you

don't know what you're talking about

okay

not gonna get into it but

more or less you're not able to really

think critically about the state it's

just something kind of there that you

take for granted it's in the background

now the english civil war

uh with this

very shocking

and also religiously motivated uh

execution of the monarchy

um basically gave rise to a vacuum

at the heart

of

the state's legitimacy there's all

before you had this kind of rule by

tradition and it's all very legitimate

and yadda yadda all of a sudden that

gets replaced by a vacuum

people rose up killed their monarch and

now the question of what is a state

is put on new grounding what is a state

okay

so the first definition of anarchy that

i'm going to proceed with here

is that of this precise vacuum anarchy

is the vacuum

of statehood

in the age

of uh european modernity or european

early modernity anarchism is the vacuum

of statehood that is the first

definition i'm going to proceed with

as far as what anarchism it's the vacuum

of statehood not revolution

not even just the power vacuum it's this

fundamental vacuum

that paradoxically also comes to

represent the very substance of

statehood now in which theorist does the

vacuum of statehood

this nothingness this emptiness

also come to epitomize

the metaphysical substance of the state

okay

it's none other than

a person that you would not expect to be

an anarchist

uh

thomas hobbes for thomas hobbes

in his understanding

of what what is the basis of a state bob

does not say the basis of the state is

the divine it's it's god given he

doesn't he also doesn't say the basis of

the state uh is some patriarchal

tradition he also doesn't say as in the

case of the classical antiquity the

basis of the state is some kind of

mythology it's this founding poetically

contrived myth

uh that allows us to relate to whatever

our being is yadda yadda perhaps

the basis of the state

lies in this fundamental relation of all

against all

produced

in the vacuum

of state power and he's actually getting

this from the chaos that he experienced

uh

and which defined his environment or a

substantial portion of

the environment of his country during

his age during the english civil war

okay so in the english civil war

uh

the the the king is beheaded right a lot

of people confuse

the french revolution for the english

civil war in terms of their significance

a lot of people think oh during the

french revolution when they beheaded the

king that pretty much overturned and set

and put everything on its head and quest

no that happened during the english

civil war when they beheaded their their

king

and queen during the english civil war

okay

so in terms of being able to understand

and define

the legitimacy of the state

um what we're dealing with during the

english civil war

is more or less

um

a vacuum we're dealing with a vacuum we

can't draw from any prior traditions we

can't draw from anything that's

intuitive or natural to us everything's

been thrown in the air everything gets

called into question and it's like that

cartesian reduction descartes he's

experiencing the chaos

of knowledge right and he says in

response to this chaos

i think therefore i am

i can't

know if uh everything i know about the

world is given to me by a demon so i'm

going to take refuge only in the

certainty that i have that i'm capable

of thought right now the same thing

happened during the english civil war

i cannot take refuge in any of these

different authorities that are claiming

to represent the true authority so the

only thing that i can take refuge in is

in the immediate

substantive basis

metaphysically speaking

of what gives ground gives rise to a

social

relation right which is

for hobbs at least a relationship of

hostility

when one individual's interests clash

with the interests of another individual

somehow a third term arises which has to

give expression and has to raise itself

above them if they're going to be able

to coexist in any kind of way so the

essence of statehood basically becomes

reduced

in some kind of way to the some

constitutive

violence between individuals between

individual substances

but notice the key word here is

individual

anarchism proceeds necessarily

with a metaphysical and methodological

individualism of the state for

anarchists

the state is simply

uh

some form of power over individuals

the basis moreover of the power of the

state is also individual now skipping

forward some hundreds of years right who

which other thinker do we find this kind

of idea from

who's also a big

founding thinker of anarchism by the way

we're gonna we're gonna talk about this

idea of founding thinkers of anarchism

as well

it's sterner

max sterner

basically proceeds with this idea

drawing from this metaphysical

revolution that begins with england

during the early modernity right he's

drawing he's basically taking that for

granted max sterner kind of says

all of these notions you have uh of a

state and a society and a country and a

collective and religion these are all

fooks and why are they spooks why are

they ghosts because

the only measurably real things in

reality are individuals individuals are

the only substantive real things we can

measure in actually reality when you're

when you're you know talking about some

state or you're talking about laws or

you're talking about a country or some

higher form of collectivity how the fuck

do you measure that right you can't so

all of these things basically disguise

the individual interests of individuals

only individuals are real now why is it

that only individuals are real because

only individuals are immediately

verifiable in our experience

i can't touch a state i can't make

i can't incarnate this state in this

direct way right so i have to directly

kind of

ground that in something

now that's what someone like thomas

hobbes and max sterner have in common

people you think are completely

unrelated opposite thinkers do have in

common the idea that the power of the

state is grounded in some atomic

metaphysical substance

it's this that they both agree on

namely the substance of individuality

and the antagonism individuals pose to

one another constitutively by default

is everyone following me so far i'm just

laying some groundwork

i'm just laying some groundwork here so

you guys are following me right

great

great excellent

so obviously the french revolution

uh casts upon europe

this new newfound mask of anarchy in a

way that the english civil war did it

because from the period of the english

civil war up to the french revolution

the mask was more or less well intact

the veneer of some kind of

and i always said i said this in my

speech at cpi the veneer

that the state the legitimacy of the

state

and its continuity with the older kind

of patriarchal feudal forms was

maintained however the truth of the

matter is and this is the case when you

investigate it there was a huge

discontinuity sometime during early

modernity and and with the protestant

reformation

and um 30 years war in particular the

european wars of religion

these wars and these events

somehow

from within

overturned the basis of state power

um

and what i mean by that is that

while it appeared that the forms of

tradition and legitimation of the state

that had been inherited from feudalism

were intact those were just disguising

some kind of

uh

atheistic cold calculated and abstract

form of political power some kind of

utilitarian form of power

again a mask of anarchy right what was

this anarchy the anarchy in question is

nothing short

of modernity and anglo-saxon modernity

in particular the way in which all that

is solid melts into air the way in which

all that is holy becomes

[Music]

uh

all that is holy becomes uh propane

right

this specific thing we call modernity

which also corresponds to the arrival

of general commodity production

where suddenly all

relations to be between people become

reduced to this abstract and general

form

of

the commodity

we are talking about literally the same

thing what marx was talking about in

terms of general commodity production

what hobbes was talking about in his

idea of the war of all against all what

shelley is talking about in the mask of

anarchy what descartes is talking about

in the sphere of knowledge

right or the sphere of philosophy

and

uh

they're basically all referring to the

same thing

anarchism is nothing more than the naked

expression

of trying to positivize

this

negation

turning this negation again the negation

that corresponds to general commodity

production the vacuum of state power

that gives rise to thinkers like cars

sorry like hobbs

and which you know corresponds to the

political turmoil of europe

uh best epitomized by the french

revolution

all of these things

represent a negation

they represent the negation of the old

feudal ancient regime order okay

now this negation

becomes positivized when we say

that it is actually a real object this

negation represents

the truth of all reality this negation

is itself

something we can make a positive object

or in the word in a word that kantians

like to use a lot

the negation becomes reified

something that basically poses a problem

only for our thoughts

and our heads

we reify that into some real thing so

that's what i mean by positive ox right

so it represents a positivization of the

negation

now in the case of anarchism

the entire basis

of anarchism

the entire point of anarchism and we're

again we're speaking within the realm of

the deeper aesthetic that actually

defines it

lies

very simply

in the reification

of the vacuum

within state power

better that emerges

after modernity

the object of anarchism is simply

the knee hill of statehood the

nothingness of statehood

however

only a midwit retard will say

that this nothingness of statehood

merely represents the absence of the

state

no this nothingness has a presence

the presence

being

the modernistic

secular atheistic whatever you want to

call it basis of state power

in the modern age

what is the basis of the state in

modernity

it's in a man-made

contrived constitution it's in some kind

of

it's it's it's it's from reason right

it's which was popular during the french

revolution it's from some kind of

artificially contrived thing

that cannot draw its legitimacy from

anything objective eternal yadda yadda

if you ask

the fucking aztecs

what is the basis of your state power

they're gonna give you like this grand

mythology and this great poetry and it's

great religious whatever

and if you ask an ottoman what is the

basis of the state power the ottomans

would call their state their dalai la

they would call it the sublime state

meaning the state it literally

in terms of the way we can even cognize

it

passes beyond the threshold

of the faculties of what the

understanding that this kant would put

it it's the definition

of the sublime

it's the

real it's it's it has the quality of

thingness to it right in kantian terms

it relates to us as sublime

that's the sublime state

as the ottomans would put it

this

view of statehood this sorry not view of

statehood this natural let's call it

intuitive

uh understanding of the state disappears

as as with everything else for that

matter

with the arrival of european modernity

the first

point in terms of being able to draw a

critique of anarchism

is to basically

exercise ourselves of our own

anarchistic bias that we have by default

where we say for example when the

ancient egyptians used to justify their

statehood

or

understand their statehood in religious

and mythological terms this was just a

disguise to to um

uh to obscure and mystify brute

relations of unequal power between

individuals this is patently wrong this

is what we call vulgar or english

materialism no when the egyptians are

representing their state in this way

even though it is not necessarily

scientific or materialist

they are most definitely not disguising

some underlying

inequalities or injustices of power

they're not justifying anything they are

giving expression

to the form of their being in a

mystified way yes

but that is the form of their being

the anarchists presume

that were it not for these states across

history

uh we would just revert to some natural

state they they really avatar james

cameron

and they kind of project us on

indigenous tribes and stuff we would

return to nature and we would become

night free again that's not true

as hegel points out

as hegel points out in his

this is under it's underpinning the

entire um

the entire it's implicit in

hegel's entire project

if this were true states would not have

history

anarchist retards look at the history of

humanity since

let's say the founding of quote unquote

civilization which is itself a

problematic distinction but let's just

say since the emergence of private

property and the emergence of

large-scale whatever

um

they look at this and they say these are

just new forms of oppression these are

just new forms of the same injustice and

these retards evince their inability to

establish the most minimal connection to

mankind and their dismissal

of the development of spirit the real

historical development of spirit as all

the same

this is a supreme form of gaslighting it

is not all the same there is real

development across history there is i'm

not saying this in the wig sense of

linear progress but something is

developing

these changes in history

do tell us something about our humanity

our human being

meaning the deeper

reality of our humanity is developing in

real time across history

this is the hegelian view

right this is the hegelian view the

anarchist retard looks at that and it's

all the same it's all oppression

even if we granted you it's all

oppression why is it that oppression has

a history why are there moreover this is

the more this is the better part of

putting it why does there appear to be

contradictions within oppression why is

that

might that have something to do with the

constitutive contradiction that gives

rise to your aesthetic

which is namely between the way a state

legitimizes itself

and the actual material reality of the

state

what if that contradiction

is not absolute what if it what if

you're generalizing what is actually a

relative contradiction

of the state itself

we're going to get to that

because

as soon as i relate this to fascism it's

going to be so crystal clear to you

why adolf hitler was the most famous

fascist sorry the most famous anarchist

in the history of the world and again

repeat this after me ladies and

gentlemen

adolf hitler adolf hitler

was the most famous anarchist

in the his and most successful anarchist

in the history of humanity

adolf hitler

none other than adolf hitler

now for the anarchists

in their conception of the relationship

between individuals and states

the anarchists have decided

i'm gonna wait for this donation to go

killed two black men and said it was for

law and order so there is your heuristic

for fascism

yeah i mean it's it goes way deeper than

that

now let's talk about the metaphysical

basis of anarchism and how it's the same

as liberalism

namely

the thing that unites someone like

hobbes

john locke

and

down and and god whoever the fuck else

right godwin whatever you want bakunin

the anarchist is that

the individual substance the material

individual i should say the empirical

individual

is

the object somehow of statehood

meaning states are merely derivative of

definite relations between

individuals

however these relations between

individuals are not themselves material

i'm gonna quote to you something from uh

marx's thesis on foyerbuff

so

what marx says

about all hitherto materialism and

materialism that's the foundation of

both liberalism

anarchism and and necessarily by

extension fascism

he says

the chief defect of all hitherto

existing materialism is that the thing

reality sensuousness is conceived only

in the form of the object or of

contemplation but not as sensuous human

activity practice not subjectively so

what is he saying

he's basically saying

that

this older materialism

only conceives

objectivity let's just put it in that

way objectivity or reality

in the form of some kind of

atom some kind of one-sided object some

kind of self-enclosed thing

it doesn't actually conceive things like

labor like activity it doesn't conceive

things like material relations sorry

relations between individuals to

themselves be material

but intuitively this is a pretty um

shocking thing to say

how could relations between individuals

be material

we can't measure relations there's no

tangibility

of relations

individuals after all are the tangible

things in actual reality that we can

sense and we can measure and and can

just be tangible right so how could

their relations themselves be material

by the way if any retard in the fucking

chat wants to debate me about literally

any of this

you can get in my show cube

i i would be so glad to debate you

uh if you want to fucking try and say

what the fuck is this guy on this guy's

stupid he doesn't know what he's talking

about i will literally walk you like a

fucking dog please get in my fucking vc

and we'll see who's the dumb fuck right

all you can do is cope behind your

fucking twitter right

but anyway

how can material relations

of s and this is by the way going to

define

why marxism and anarchism are

fundamentally incompatible

and we're going to talk about why in the

west this has not dawned on people yet

but this is going to define why they are

fundamentally incompatible marxism and

anarchism are fundamentally incompatible

because

for within marxism objectivity does not

mean

a form

objectivity is not a form

objectivity is the dialectic unity of

form and content so what does it mean

for relations to themselves be objective

it means this

by the time that we

enter the world and can measure it as

conscious beings that can cognize

things and objects like this water

bottle by the time that i am consciously

aware in the world and can cognize this

water bottle

it's already too late i have already

been defined materially

my true material cause

has already

preceded me

but the arrogance of modernity is this

assumption

that

when

we cognize

an object like a human individual

or a water bottle of some kind

we have arrived at the very essence of

material reality

but

for marx

this ability to

differentiate and make the world

intelligible into different objects

itself presupposes

relations

that are material

the scandalous insight of marx which is

so difficult for western brains to

understand the eastern brain understands

this very well

russians chinese middle east they all

understand this the way and i'm not

saying before you're talking about race

that no i'm saying the mind it's not i'm

not saying for a racial reason saying

for a cultural reason

the western mind can't comprehend this

for the simple reason that the scandal

sounds like an absurdity marx is

basically saying

relations between people

precede

the way in which those relations become

apparently tangible to us you know what

that fucking means

it basically means

a relation

precedes

the way that relation actually exists in

reality

it means for example the relation

somehow between capitalist and

proletarian

somehow has a reality even before there

are any capitalists or any proletariats

this sounds like an absurdity

but this is the only meaning of the

materiality of a relation

a relations to production can only be

material insofar as they somehow possess

primacy

in relation

to their actual existence

to their actuality

and finally to the way that they are

apparently and phenomenally intelligible

to us

for marx and the reason why for marx is

simple

our labor in relation to nature

somehow precedes

our consciousness

now someone would would hear something

like that and be like you know that's

technically not true because

all labor presumes a form of

consciousness right

but the reason it's true

according to marx is that

somehow

we are always already doing something

in reality before it makes sense to us

or more better put before we can cognize

that into any kind of form

and it kind of does make sense if you do

believe that we come from the animal

kingdom i mean animals are just doing

shit right

and yet somehow

um

you know they don't need to think about

it they don't need to like cognize it it

doesn't need to be conscious so there

has to be some point in the continuity

of the transition from animal to man

where

we inherit this kind of doing

um

that is over and against any kind of

consciously cognizable form

and i don't want to veer off too much

but this is something freud would

describe as drives he would describe

this as our drives right as our or as

our id our id right

but marx is basically saying

the same thing he's not saying we we get

animal instincts from the animal kingdom

but he's just saying

that before

we are

in a world of consciousness and of

consciously cognizable forms we're doing

something already

and this is also

i would argue the dreamlike world of the

unconscious now if you ask an aborigine

in australia what their origin story is

what do they say they say something

pretty interesting don't they they say

dream time

that in the past in our ancient history

in our primordial mythological history

we dwelt in something called dream time

so this strange limbo place

of

dream time that is the origin of

humanity that is

the

adobe

of material relations

that only then

later become

cognizable as definite forms

by our consciousness

so i'm not saying it's neither that on

the one hand where animals

who have the instinct to do certain

kinds of labor and it's also not on the

other hand that our labor is premised by

consciously cognizable forms of thought

it's somewhere in between

it's somewhere in between

this strange

dream time this limbo-like state of the

unconscious

where we somehow find ourselves doing

things

we can't explain why we can't ground

that in a reason that's cognizable to

our thoughts that doesn't mean our minds

aren't actively involved in it it just

means that that takes precedence right

think about your dreams think about

when you're sleeping and you literally

dream i mean

something is clearly going on with your

mind right but as freud would put it

it's the fulfillment of an unconscious

wish right it's not really happening

according to what you want to happen or

what you think should happen or or what

you're you know it's you can understand

there's a difference between dreaming

and living in reality right so dreaming

should give you an idea how

consciousness how the mind yes it's in

it's an indispensable part of our

ability to engage in labor after all

mark said that the thing that

differentiates man from animal is our

ability to raise up

the object of labor in our imagination

and realize it realize it accordingly

but

this should not be taken for

uh

some kind of rationalistic consciousness

is my point

so are any retards in my vc that want to

debate me about any of this before i

continue to proceed

because i want to remind everyone and i

want you to continue to pay attention

here in case you're following me

this is the fundamental distinction

between anarchism and marxism taking it

back right taking it back to our

original thing for anarchism and

liberalism and fascism and whatever else

um the material thing is always already

latent with its phenomenal reform so

when i'm talking about something that's

material i'm talking about something

that already somehow apparently and

phenomenally exists

just outside of my consciousness right

it's just like this water bottle

i'll throw this

the other side of the room

and

i know it's there it's tangible

but the paradox is that

i only know that because i saw

it first how do you know something's

tangible

uh

it's like the the thing about subjective

idealism how can you know things are

real

without having always already um

made them

uh cognizable to your mind right does

anything exist outside of your mind well

the way marxism resolves this

contradiction specifically lenin

is basically that

it's a false dichotomy because

while our mind plays a

vital role into uh

giving form to things in our thoughts

right

the thing the phenomenal form or the

thought of the thing is not actually

there we have to play an active role of

doing that so that means for marxism

materiality is content

it is the content of the dialectic

relation between form and content it's

the content not the form form belongs to

the sphere of thought

so for marxism materiality means content

it doesn't mean

some deeper form

form is something on the surface there's

no deeper form

form only becomes form

form which is something that has a

beginning and end

through consciousness through thought

marxism and anarchism are not mutually

exclusive you are fundamentally retarded

in your head you are mentally fucking

stupid

i cannot

understand how you just listen to what i

fucking said

and and would be so fucking stupid to

type that in my chat

how are they not mutually exclusive when

for marxism

objectivity

is precedent to form you know what that

fucking means that means the state

is not

some arithmetic relation

of tangible individuals it means the

materiality of statehood precedes

that it's tangible form it means the

object of statehood the materiality of

statehood

is precedent and primary before

its existence and its tangibility

that fucking means that for marxist the

state is objective not voluntary not the

result of some oppressive structure some

scam that i want to oppress you that's

what no that's not the basis of the

state for marxism the state

again

is derivative of class relations to

production for anarchists the opposite

is true the state begins from an

arbitrary individual

elevating themselves over all other

individuals

when before there was a state of nature

and somehow we were all atomically

separated and it takes a state to

basically force us through violence to

be

in association

or

and if it wasn't for that state it would

just be based on voluntary communal

relations wholesome communal relations

yada yada yada yada

either way you have the same premise you

have the same

metaphysical premise of anarchism

whatever form it takes

the stage being result of human social

relations or cornerstone of anarchist

fatigue

hey you dumb fuck chaz you stupid bitch

what anarchists mean by social relations

are tangible relations of power

they do not mean the same thing marx

means because for marx a social relation

is antecedent and primary

before its phenomenal

apparency and even before its existence

you stupid fuck

so when you say social relations you're

referring to a guy with power having

power over someone else it's this like

fucotian arithmetic where i have more

power than you my power is subtracted by

your power it's like this this like

arithmetic of different agents having

different levels of coercive power over

one than another this is your dumb

fukodian bullshit

which is by the way the basis of almost

all contemporary forms of anarchism

especially in the united states is that

fucking pedo bastard scum

everyone i want you to spit on fuco

right now

spit on fuco right now for me

spit on him for me spit on that fucking

pedo bastard fuco

right

because that's what they're talking

about

we're spitting on his fucking grave

everybody's spit on is fucking great

press s to spit on fucking foucault's

fucking grave

finally

getting to what i actually wanted to

talk about

the reason why

this means

anarchism and marxism are fundamentally

irreconcilable

is because

marxism

responds to modernity to the

contradiction of modernity that gives

rise to anarchism and which is given

expression by liberalism

anarchism is responding to it liberalism

is realizing it right

basically has to do

with the fact that within marxism

the negation posed by modernity the

negation

is a moment of positive material being

what does that mean

what does that mean

marx looked at

principally in the form of modern

philosophy first the way in which

form in the form of thought within

philosophy was being raised above and

over the whole of reality basically

positioning itself as the form of a

negation

i for example am hegel i'm hegel and i

arrive at these mighty insights of

thought

but then

hegel's pupils will look at me and i'm

hegel remember and they say

but here's the problem

your mighty insights of thought

are in contradiction with the reality

with reality right

so somehow

as a result of this contradiction posed

between the insights of philosophy and

the reality before us

we have to say

the reality is wrong the philosophy is

correct

and what this what this does is

basically give rise to all of these

stupid fucking young hegelian trends

which

marx spent his time along with frederick

engels

shitting on like people like sterner who

came to the conclusion that

you know the individual ego is the only

real thing all the things that all the

ways that reality is trying to tell us

hey dumb fuck you're not just a fucking

individual there's things outside of you

sterner's like oh that's at the spook

because there's no way for that to be

mediated outside of our heads that means

there's nothing it's like the solipsism

right the sternerite solipsism then you

had um

you had these other dumb fucks like

bruno bauer

right and the rest

then you finally have foyerbach who

finally says okay there is something

beyond thought and it's humanity

but then even for marx he's saying but

your humanity is still

an ideal of a humanity that has defied

religion and has defied philosophy even

that's still an ideal that's not even

the real one yet right

because for feuerbach

if mankind has not awakened to his true

consciousness

and all the worst for mankind is marx

put right if man does not find his

essence in agreement with his existence

so much worse for him this is like

aggravating what marx said

in the german ideology in his critique

of foyerbach right so what marx does

more or less is he looks at this general

negation posed by modernity to reality

here in the form of philosophy

he says

while this is real

it is merely a moment

of positive being

and for marx

he names this positive being

he names this positive being as humanity

but in contrast to foyerbach marx

names this humanity

as

a proletariat

mark says the proletariat is the

ingenious soil

of the people

so what does that mean the ingenious

soil of the people marx

the proletariat is the truth

of humanity why is the proletariat the

truth of humanity remarks

because for marx the proletariat is the

result

the remainder of what humanity is

after it has underwent the process

of this modernistic

abstract negation

the remainder this pound of flesh

shakespearean terms that remains

is the proletary it has gone through the

process

the quote marx

it is the complete loss of man in the

face of

abstract and

negative modernity

so it is the class

that can only

find its salvation in the complete

re-winning of man

so why am i telling you all of this

why am i telling you all of this stuff

about the proletariat and yada yada

philosophy

because the anarchists respond to that

same problem marx

did in a completely different way

the anarchists say

there's a contradiction between

the uh

abstract

negation

and some kind of reality

so the anarchists respond to this by

saying this negative abstract reality

sorry this this uh impression of the

negation onto our consciousness is

itself the real thing that is the object

so for marx the proletariat is the

object why because the proletariat is a

semblance of positive being

which reconciles the negation for the

anarchist

only the negation

is the object

you see how different those two

viewpoints are you see how fundamentally

different their implications are because

for marx marx basically

a way he awakens some kind of eastern

modernity where

we can reconcile the abstraction of

modernity with our particular humanity

not just in terms of the proletarian

class but also in terms

of different civilizations different

nations different peoples different

cultures different religions different

traditions all of these things

can find some resolution

in the aftermath of the way in which

modernity wipes them clean something

positive

can re-emerge which reconciles them

what does the anarchist say all those

things i just mentioned to you

humanity in all of its determinate

expression

is just bullshit it's just

it's just negation it's all it's all a

mask of anarchy

anarchism is the truth

no state there is a nothingness of

statehood there's a knee-hill of

statehood

this is how anarchists respond to the

same problem

completely completely different

aesthetic

complete as aesthetic is the most

important thing by the way

it's it means the deeper sense we have

of reality

thanks jackson for the raid appreciate

you man

yes it's a denial of the reconciliation

it's what hegel calls the unhappy

consciousness now what is the unhappy

consciousness it's basically more or

less tldr

it's when you get stuck in the second

term of the dialectic have the positive

whatever

affirmation negation and then negation

of negations the third thing anarchists

are stuck in the second

so it is in this sense

that i identify anarchism with fascism

because both anarchism and fascism are

stuck in this second term this

unreconciled

negation

now specifically how that is i'll

explain it

thank you jaw for the 20 appreciate you

man

thanks so much for supporting the stream

guys

thank you johnny appreciate you guys

supporting the stream keeping the stream

afloat

keep doing these

thank you guys appreciate

but um

now specifically in regards to the state

though what are the implications

so the first form for marx when he

discovers the proletariat as the truth

of humanity and the true object the true

symptom

as lakhan put it of uh the world in

which he lived

he basically

was admitting to the fact

that somehow all along this was our

cause

this was our true material reality

but this material reality didn't just

exist

in a self-subsisting way outside of our

consciousness

our consciousness what was happening

within our consciousness within the

development of german idealism yada yada

and in all of world history by extension

but specifically within german idealism

this consciousness

basically

participated in the development of the

object in reality

so the object didn't just exist

selfishly and by itself as an atom

our very journey

within philosophy and so on is the very

development of that object in reality

so what does that mean

what is the basic implication

the basic implication

is that

for marx

material reality does not come at the

expense

of the overt apparent and sufficient

forms

which are nonetheless

not reducible to

rather form participates

actively in its own content

it means there is no

anarchic substance of the state like as

hobbes would put it

the state participates in the

development

and realizes

its own material object in its own

sufficient surfacial

and overt form

there's no

true form of the state that's what i'm

trying to tell you

the form of the state is the realization

of its material object

that is the marxist view that is why

marxists can say the absurd thing

that

relations to production precede

materially

their phenomenally apparent form

their relation is more true

than the apparent form

why because the relation represents

the essence of the apparent form

for example a relation

gonna teach you a secret

relation between proletarian and

capitalist

is that relation what goes on on the

factory floor

no

the

exists before anything happens on the

factory floor the relation exists sorry

the relation doesn't exist the relation

is real and material even before any

capitalist hires any proletarian

now it's improbable that that would be

the case

but

essentially speaking the relation is

primary

why because the relation is not

referring to some contractual

conscious relation between individuals

it's not referring to a relationship

created

by individuals

the relation

is referring

to contradictions within the way our

individuality is defined in the first

place particularly in the form

in this case of the bourgeois state

the bourgeois state for example realizes

some universal

society some universal community which

every individual is an equal and all are

equal before the law

yada yada yada

and then

we are all citizens universal subjects

of the state where there's no

distinctions in caste or privilege yada

that alone creates a capitalist relation

how

over how that arises we're going to get

to that as well but only from this

perspective we can understand relations

abduction why because

because

the question is then posed

i've said this before

our very formal universal equality gives

rise to a relation where some sell the

produce of labor

while others sell labor itself

labor as such

so you can derive the capitalist

relation even before there are any

apparent capitalist relations

from a deeper material reality

and this reality is

unconscious

it's material and it even precedes the

universal form of the state itself

it refers to the definite

furthest threshold by which

men and women are able to relate

to their own universality

not only in the sphere of consciousness

but as such

let me uh unpause the donation so i can

get all the donations and read them all

super chats i mean

basement dwelling in cell and racket

seething in chat iron yeah i know i

could tell

i could tell

based and you degenerate analytics get

in vc and defend your position

thank you john material relationships

exist before we are able to recognize

its forms

is that what sterner doesn't realize

about the state

it's part of based

an anarchist tried to kill lenin the

original chaz

yeah

very true

based thank you more likely anarchism

the infantile stage before actual

idealism

yeah

it really is

and we're going to get to that

[Music]

love from the dive how giovanni gentilly

is the most consistent anarchist of all

we're definitely getting by the way

everybody liked the stream like the

stream

thank you ned randall appreciate you man

thank you for meeting appreciate you bro

thank you man

thank you so much

i'm going to continue

i'm going to get one more donut in

one more super chat and i'm gonna pause

them again to continue going on this

lecture

but i appreciate all your donations guys

so much

you guys are keeping the streams going

you're making it full-time and

sustainable and

making sure we can have more of these

so everybody

for the people who are carrying the

stream

now

thank you guys so much and i'm super

grateful you guys

you believe

do you believe the conspiracy that

sterner was angle spook smiley face no i

definitely don't

definitely definitely do not

right

but anyway let me continue okay

let me continue

so what that means is that anarchists

and marxists again to recap have a very

different understanding of what the

state is

for anarchists the state represents the

arbitrary power of some individuals

over other individuals which is called

society

so for anarchists the state is the

arbitrary power

that exists according to the exertion of

some wills

some wills over other wills

right

but for marxism

the state is not an arbitrary elevation

of some will over other will

the state rather

realizes in its form

the highest extent

which on a material level

men and women enter into definite social

relations

so for marx the state represents

something materially objective

material objectivity being

objective relations to production

relations that are not premised

by arbitrary exercise of some wills over

other wills

but relations which define

the highest threshold by which

mankind

relates to its own

otherness and its own universality

what

am

i

we can ask this question on a conscious

level

and

shoot the shit with answering

but before we ask the question

what am i

i am being defined by a in a way

that relates me within

what lakhan will call

a chain of signifiers

that define the relationship i have in

material reality to all

others

we are not just what we see

in the mirror

when we look in the mirror

we

are also in a sense realized

in our social whole

in our social whole

now in the west we have to

contrive very complicated theories

and ideas in order to understand this

but in a a country like china

or a country like india

or anywhere outside of europe for that

matter

that an individual is defined

by being a part of a greater social

whole

is from a civilizational perspective

it's a given

it's naturally given it's intuitively

given

for them it's common sense i have to

present it to you as a theory

but in eastern civilization

it's given

an individual is part of a social whole

even if that social whole is not

individually tangible

so this is the marxist view

that is the simple marxist view

and marx

the difference between marx

and let's call it eastern thought

it all hitherto eastern thought which

made sense of man's insertion into the

social whole

marx establishes a science of sociality

what does that mean

in the eastern

society

we naturally and intuitively

insert our individuality within the

context of a greater social whole we are

a part of something bigger but that is

only cognizable to us

through some kind of

mystical

mythological

yada yada type of way which can easily

veer into the territory of superstition

the state has divine origins as a matter

of fact the state is the realization of

divinity

on earth

from the oldest civilizations this is

the view where it doesn't matter

geographically by the way

marx said no

we cannot make reference to

some external thing

to make sense of how we are part of a

greater social whole

because the way we are apart as

individuals of a greater social whole

is defined by the material relations to

production

within that social whole now the

production of what

the production of human beings the

production of our means of subsistence

of our way of life

not just people think economics and they

just think

you know something crude no it's our way

of life

it's how we subsist

how we enter into some kind of

relationship to nature

how we transform nature

in a way that reproduces us

in some kind of way

that allows us to subsist that allows us

to live

so marx

is different and this is his western

enlightenment

uh

inheritance

he

refuses to superstitiously

conceive of

sociality and the social whole he elects

to possess a scientific

understanding of this

and what that basically means is uh

it's something knowable to us in some

kind of way now i'll give you an example

of how this is knowable to us

because a lot of people make the mistake

some interpretations of marx like lucox

right

according to which

sociality is noble to us

basically it exposes it fully and

nakedly to modern scientific

consciousness

yadda yadda this is wrong

even if something is knowable to us

doesn't mean it's an object of

technological domination

no ability also means

possessing the necessary political

insight

for example

this type of science of the social whole

was an indispensable part of the wisdom

of stalin for example to engage in the

collectivization

of the countryside

why because stalin understood

that these relations to production that

permeated the countryside which are left

over the stolipin reforms

were holding back industrialization

so this science of

leninism as practical it also has

practical implication today in china

they understand in china for example

that the form of small scale agriculture

is no longer sustainable but it is

socially the foundation and the fabric

chinese civilization

so it must its essence must be distilled

somehow

and must be replaced

how is it being replaced in the g era

it's through the poverty alleviation

campaigns and the shift

from

small scale agriculture from being the

mainstay of the chinese economy

of the chinese people i should say to

for example real estate small scale

apartments

homes people can own

and rely upon

also various state benefits yada yada

various forms of entitlement

to production through the form of the

state yada yada yada securities yada

yada yada so

this specific science discovered by marx

does not

nakedly

reduce all that is holy and sacred to

some kind of illusion

it's still something real right

doesn't in this philistine way reduce

relations between people to this

mechanical

technological relation as the object of

modern science

we

are able to preserve

the uh

let's just call it oceanic depth

of the way in which we relate

to society and to humanity with

indefinite and particular civilizations

with all of the literary and poetic and

spiritual implications that come to that

all of this is preserved it's preserved

and even brought

to new heights

it's just no longer mystified and

obscured

where definite knowledge

is called into question

we understand

that in order to reproduce our

particular human sociality and our

social whole

it is necessary to have

a science of humanity science does not

mean reduced to knowledge

it means understand in order to navigate

make the correct decisions

to make the correct choices

as a head of state

there have not been statesmen

as brilliant and insightful

as those of xi jinping

of those as mao seton

and joseph stalin

these represent a return

to true

asiatic

statesmanship which

requires a definite time kind of science

a definite science of humanity a

definite insight and wisdom

which is only made possible now by

marxism

and marxism leninism

in particular

so to recap

the anarchist sees the state as

completely

meaningless

uh completely anarchic

representing only the exertion of some

arbitrary will

over others moreover

society is just the sum total of

individuals

now where is fascism

where does fascism enter into this

anarchism arises

the general phenomena of anarchism

only arises where

some kind of

stance

between the individual

on the one hand

and society and state on the other hand

produces this position of negation

after all it's that very contradiction

that gives rise

to anarchism

the state legitimizes itself with law

and order and crown and

myth

but i'm the anarchist and i know the

truth it's all bullshit

why is it all bullshit

because of some kind of contradiction

between the way the state justifies

itself

and the real state

whatever that may so happen to be

a veneer

of civilization and statehood and

religion and all the ways it justifies

itself and the reality

this contradiction defines the aesthetic

of

anarchism there's someone else for whom

this aesthetic would prove to be

definitive there's multiple people

the one in particular i want to draw

attention to

is none other than adolf hitler

again the world's most infamous and

successful anarchist

in the history of humanity

but before we get to hitler

i want to do a very brief

genealogy

of

fascism specifically

through

the most infamous uh

anarchist thinker

and everyone it's why it's called bread

tube it's why everyone's in a

proton

everybody knows about protons

anti-semitism

everyone knows about pronouns

anti-semitism people usually take the

anti-semitism the evidence

of pronouns

blatant fascism yadda yadda

but why actually was proton a

proto-fascist

why was he a proto-fascist

it has less to do with his uh

proton whatever you call him pradhan

whatever the fuck how you pronounce him

it has more to do

yeah i'm sorry the bread thing comes

from kropotkin not proton

i mix those

but he's he is the formative and

decisive influence

on what anarchism is

okay

for that

hold on give me a sec

prodon develops

basically this view

that

in regards to his critique

of capitalist sorry of society right in

general capitalist society

yada yada

right

for him

there's a lot of things people don't

know about proton right protoum

people think was someone who is trying

to

basically

abolish authority abolish this or

abolish that but this nihilism in

regards to politics in regards to

statehood actually disguised a pretty

nasty um

a pretty nasty volunteeristic

uh

attitude toward how how power should be

used so proton was a was a huge

militarist he was a huge racist and

militarist

who

had this poetry of war and the way that

war let me get let me get him in his

word

he glorified in a way not this similar

to the nietzscheans

uh people like wagner or the wagner uh

enthusiasts afterwards yada yada the way

in which they glorified

this kind of mythological poetic

violence

that is the foundation

of society and state

particularly through war and the war way

in which wars

were glorified in the mythic age

proton was all into that kind of stuff

right

so his nihilism of the state

was not actually because he was saying

oh it's just

immorality yada yada yada

he's basically trying to set this up in

order to

fill the vacuum

with some

extremely obfuscatory

um

nihilistic volunteeristic

and mystical understanding of power

i'm trying to get quotes that i want to

use right

right is with might on whatever side it

is found

if might shifts it shifts to if might

settles here here also settles right as

long as victory remains the expression

of might it is infallible

when victory is not the expression of

might it is neither consequence nor

result and thus

sorry i'm going beyond the bounds of the

quote

where does this quote end

okay it ends with the nor result right

so

this is how he was understanding uh the

war at his time so that quote who is

that quote from is that from mussolini

is that from the italian futurists no

that's from proton

that's that's from pierre that's from

the founder of anarchism the founder of

anarchism said some shit

sounds like it sounds straight out of

the mouth of like you know himmler or or

hitler or some kind of shit right

doesn't that sound fascist

it's like adverbatum what they say

just as seneca after telling nero that

he was a god tried to make an honest man

at least out of him war such as it is

practicing our times

sorry

let me get more quotes

so i'm just gonna basically

i just wanted to get some more stuff

about the war

uh it's not it's not like a google

search away and i want to take up too

much time searching for let me just

let me just uh see if i could find

i can't find it i can't find the work

i'm looking

but yeah proton basically had views

about war that were indistinguishable

from fascism okay

i'm gonna skip through a lot of shit but

again the reason why

is from the same

nihilistic

understanding of politics in the state

state isn't based on anything materially

real not based on anything objective

it's not based on anything human it's

based on the arbitrary exertion of some

wills over other worlds

then furthermore

when you have with the anarchists like

proton is forerunners to the italian

fascist idea of corporatism now

corporatism basically refers

this economic notion

that the relationship between the civil

society and the state will be mediated

by corporates

now corporates represent these middling

institutions between the state and civil

society that are economic in nature that

basically provide a supplementary

uh

reality and existence to capitalism to

capitalist relations

corporates

are the solid bonds

of the society

so on the one hand within capitalism you

basically have i'm gonna really come

full circle with this guys and it's like

we're gonna talk about social democracy

it's like it's gonna really make sense

i'm gonna really

imprint in your mind irrefutably like

airtight hitler was a fucking anarchist

okay

so the idea of a corporate or the notion

of a corporate

is

basically this parasitical

mediative

extra layer on top of capitalist

relations that already exist that

actually produce things the corporate

basically

mediates these relations appropriates

their products or otherwise oversees the

manner by which production over

occurs

it's just this extra layer on top

of traditional capitalist relations

these are the corporates right

so marxists on the one hand are

perceiving

that there are these internal

contradictions within capitalism

that are giving rise to socialism from

capitalism itself

and that marx's view that when seizing

state power

through the organ of the state

um the essential and strategic means of

production are somehow going to be

placed under common ownership

and

from this will begin

overseeing the transition materially

from capitalism to socialism

right it's not that the state is

creating socialism through its

nationalizations

that it is establishing

sorry it is unleashing

relations of production that are being

formed within capitalism itself

socialism through the increased

socialization of production that happens

within capitalism yada yada so that's

the marxist conception of a new society

not volunteeristic it's whatever now

proton

has the conception where these voluntary

associations

between producers

industrial and and agricultural

federations this federative

structure of these different kind of

corporate

associations will basically

establish some form of society some

economic society without any need for a

state

on the one hand

or any need for um underlying capitalist

relations on the other hand now pro town

in his head

in his head may be thinking

that the state is absent and moreover

capitalist relations are absent but this

is just the narrowness of his head

in reality

he is basically in

thought imagining

something that is on top of reality

because again just because you decide

capitalist relations shouldn't exist

voluntarily doesn't mean they don't

continue to exist it's because you

decide the state shouldn't exist doesn't

mean

it doesn't continue to exist in some

kind of way right

so in your head you could be thinking

one thing

but what you actually mean is something

entirely different what proton basically

means

is

like the same thing as

fascist corporatism

same thing as fascist corporatism

because the thing that proton proposes

takes for granted the underlying

capitalist relations as well as the

state that arises as a result of those

relations that would make such a thing

possible in the first place

only in fashion zone is the ideal

actually realized

now before we get there

i want to actually trace this i want to

trace this right for you because before

we get to hitler and the germans i'm

going to talk about italian fascism

because this is the history

that they somehow want to cover up to us

and they somehow want to

make us deny right

there was a group

around

the early 1900s

first of all

anarchism was never solidly left-wing in

any capacity and when i say left-wing i

mean like progressive it was always

intermixed with the types of reactionary

socialism and yada yada yada that marx

was describing the communist manifesto

there was no like left or right

there's none of that stuff there was no

you know there wasn't this idea of

progressivism or anything of that nature

you basically just had

uh you basically just had you know this

this stance towards society and the

status quo of negation we negate

everything we want to abolish everything

yadda yadda right

um so this is the anarchist stance

so just as much as the the anarchists

today they try to whitewash and say

we've always been revolutionary leftists

don't believe the trans rights

not true um equal successors of the

anarchist tradition

so-called tradition and by tradition i'm

referring to the patriarch so there's

different senses that we're using the

word anarchism on the one hand we're

referring to what anarchism actually

means in reality on the other hand we're

referring to a patriarchal tradition

ideological tradition of thought

that begins with proton right

so in this second sense is what i'm

dealing with now

so

there was also a right-wing tradition of

anarchism

which

finds its way into culminating into the

uh

cersei prada

group

now the cersel proton group

basically

um

adopted proton's id mutualistic ideas

uh and the syndicalist ideas of the

anarchist tradition that we're

developing at the time because i'm

talking about definite traditions here

and it basically um

created this political group and their

basic idea was that

through unions right through syndicalism

we're basically going to

abolish the state and we're going to

abolish the need to even take state

power

because we're just going to have a us

we're going to basically create the

embryo for a replacement of the current

state

through syndicates right and this will

replace the state power

we're gonna bring the whole economy to a

standstill and

you know voluntarily and shockingly and

immediately replace all of it

dramatic revolutionary change yadda

yadda

they're also extremely nationalistic but

so is proton by the way another thing

that anarchists like to neglect

is that

the nation

is a material reality so an anarchist is

consistently has to be a nationalist

uh because there's a reality of a nation

not reducible

state

that's why national anarchists believe

in like yeah we're anarchists but we're

also neo-nazi racist because races are

real and we need to free the racial

energy from the state that's keeping it

bound right

so this is another idea that they have

but regardless right

uh one of the members of the cersel

proton

would be georges velos

and veloce

would go on to found something called

the

i don't know how to pronounce it's

called the face face school right it's

modeled after benito mussolini's

fascism

and this was in the 20s this was france

so here was a direct continuity between

the social collectivistic proton is in

them and fascism

you're going to say has that's a one-off

it's not like it's not like the

syndicalists were a huge force in france

it's not like they were huge in spain

it's not like they

the synarcus were a big thing

in france as well

all of these things are coincidences

right well on the other hand you have

the individualistic

interpretations of protons ideas

and within these individualistic

ideas

which i guess comes from more sterner

sternorite interpretation of proton

basically have people

would be formative in the development of

italian fascism

like um

let me look up his name again because i

forgot it

massimo roca

basimo roca

that was his name massimo rocca

now messino roca

was an anarchist within italy

he had a friend named mario guoda who

was also in league with him

right

and at the outset of world war one they

decided that they were going to be

pro-war right

and there was a very smooth continuity

between their anarchism their

anarchistic ideas

and their adoption and formation

of mussolini's fascist party

the also it's not to mention the

influence anarchism

posed for the italian futurists would be

like this cultural and aesthetic

uh

foundation of fascism as well

fascists like

leandro

arpanadi

would actually

come to prominence

having originated as the followers of

broken

and the anarchist movement

and he became

mussolini's number two guy

so it wasn't some one-off case this is

mussolini's number two guy

has origins as an anarchist

i'm just talking purely on an

intellectual level just to show you and

prove to you the roots of these things

right

um

more or less almost all currents of

anarchism in europe at the time

culminated in what we call fascism

fascism was the culmination

it was the evolution

now how do you explain that continuity

i'll get to that right

um you know

in works like the intellectual origins

of fashion zone by g.a borghese

just published november 1934

in some social research journal right

observers

would make the connection very early on

right

um you know for example they would say

things like

fascism takes equitability into account

and not contradictory at all both

extremes of the post-romantic

disintegration the super individualistic

anarchic solipsistic extreme and the

reactionary obscurantist heard like

opposite so even in this journal they're

able to point out how this hyper

anarchistic individualism

on the one hand

this solipsism and on the other hand

this sheep-like tyranny over the masses

they're perfectly reconcilable and

they're unified in fascism right they're

two sides of the same coin

this is like when people when i said

hitler was an energy like how was hell

and anarchist i associate hitler with

authoritarianism and violence and all

this kind of stuff

well that is just the other side to the

coin

of his whimsical

hyper-individualistic altruistic and

arbitrary notion of what state power is

uh continuing

um

mussolini i'm quoting the same journal

mussolini was an anarchist and an artist

endowed no doubt with an exceptional and

exceptionally well-trained ability for

handling passions he shared also the

natural inclination that such ability

usually cares with it the inclination to

prefer passions easier to handle

why was he describing mussolini as an

anarchist because mussolini again

had a view of the state

that

it was the arbitrary exercise of the

individual will so this also comes with

it a view of the state

where in the exercising of this will

when you're not yet in state power it's

going to position you as an anarchist

you're abolishing the state

uh

subjectively in your practice supposedly

but that also means the most naked and

shameless tyranny of the state

mussolini did not obey the law and order

of his time

in respect the law in order he didn't

respect

his state and his traditions and his

customs he was an anarchist he proceeded

according to his own

individual will

i was a final bonus before i get into

the real analysis of anarchism you know

beyond all of this

direct kind of genealogical tracing of

its traditions

i also want to point out

people like

i just want to point out the general

relationship between ultra leftism and

fascism as well

so

when i was reading the letters which

seemed like they were fabricated but

nonetheless reflected the nazi views

of the soviet union

in the german soldiers writings

to their

loved ones from the soviet union

i want to give you a quote that's going

to really express well the nazi attitude

toward the soviet union

they were either told that within the

borders of the soviet union there was a

worker's paradise the true home of the

workers of the world

but when the national socialist

newspapers and books spoke of the social

betrayal in the soviet union

so i'm just going to end it there at

that part

ah wait a second what do you mean social

betrayal

well what he's referring to is where is

um

something i think himmler i forgot who

talked about it in the late 20s that in

the soviet union there was a social

betrayal of the working class the state

usurped power from the workers

and sold them out basically

in favor of the peasants and in favor of

industrialization

and the nazis would peddle the same

exact line

then you have the trader

and a guy who would

basically form the italian social

republic

nicolo

what the fuck is his name nicolo

bombacci

who would basically say things like

stalin will not create true socialism

mussolini will

so what do all these things mean right

specifically within those contexts

i want to actually emphasize that

fascism is a phenomenon like anarchism

and all other forms of ultra-leptism of

the lumpin

of the urban lumpin petty bourgeoisie

for the lump in proletariat whatever you

want to call it it's the urban lumpen

it's an ideology of the urban lump

it takes

the rationalism modernism and

metaphysics of classical modernity which

found representation

and which found realization in the urban

centers of europe at the time

it takes this as its starting point and

its ending point

it begins its um

campaign for revolutionary overthrow of

all society from the urban center

it sets up the urban center as

the realization of

true universality

whereas all particularity manifesting

itself within the countryside or outside

of the metropole and colonies or in the

slavic east

represents basically some kind of

meaningless

um meaningless subhuman reality uh or um

in the case of the nazis some kind of

like source of mystical obfuscation

case of like blood and soil and all this

mythological bullshitting and so on

so

fascism nazism anarchism trotskyism

ultra leftism we are talking about and

also social democracy within proper

context we are pretty much talking about

the same thing we are talking about

the psychosis of classical modernity and

of liberalism

manifesting itself as the tyranny of the

town over the country these are shared

in common and the sentiment the

sentiment of fascists

and nazis toward the soviet union was

the same sentiment of trotskyism ultra

leftists and

anarchism uh pointing out the hypocrisy

of the bolsheviks and the soviets where

where where they saw hypocrisy the

soviets were

um

they were uh

they were

expressing the dialectic wisdom

of the immortal science of marxism

feminism them it's dialectics the

retards it's hypocrisy and it's a

contradiction

notice for example

there's a guy many third positionist

intellectual larpers fascists one of

those names sultanius they write

polemics against me talking ah there's

so many contradictions

in your worldview about stalin being a

marxist and the arguments are the same

thing as what anarchists and ultra

leftists say

left comes anarchist it's all the same

thing

it's the same type of consciousness

right so i want you to keep that in the

back of your head

now to give you an illustration and idea

of

nazism generally

i want to take us to the anthem of the

nazi party which was the horst

wessel

lead right it's the song about horst

wessel

horst wessel

was a fucking pervert a pimp

and some chicken shit guy

who

started kind of cross-dressing

so to speak

larping so for it's the same kind of

thing

perversely larping

um

because of the thrill of it right

the 20s in particular so horst wessel

within the 20s

would join all sorts of these kind of

right-wing paramilitary groups

and these groups in the wyoming republic

of the 20s were anarchist groups all

intents and purposes now they may not

have shared the ideological doctrine of

anarchism but they behaved and acted

position themselves to society in the

exact same way as like a fucking punk

rock anarchist would uh in particular

the viking league right so this group

the viking league

uh

horst wessel would say that he joined

the white viking league for the

adventure of it for the thrill of it

right

um the viking league was basically

these street thugs that would go and

just fight people and battle people and

do illegal shit and criminal shit think

of like antifa or the black bloc or

something like that that's what we're

dealing with right the viking league but

they just

they had a right wing flavor to it but

the flavor doesn't matter if it's

literally the same thing

anarchist right so it's the same

adventurism and volunteerism and

anarchists anarchism and then later

the sa

would play the exact same role for

people like horst wessel who were these

lumpin scum of society

who wanted to exercise their criminal

anti-social behavior in some kind of way

so they would join the sa they would

join these terrorist

groups they would join these

adventuristic perverse

groups that would allow them to realize

they wanted so the rank and file of

fascism historically was the same

as anarchists anarchism right

that's some crucial context i want to

give you as well

um

now

what do what do i really mean when i'm

associating fascism

with anarchism

if you remember what i said just on the

economic level about how proton

intellectually laid the foundations for

fascist corporatism

you have a a clear pattern we're

witnessing right

fascism seems to be

some kind of supplementary access

to liberal bourgeois society it does not

actually get engaged in a root and stem

revolutionary transformation of the

state there is a profound level of

continuity in the bourgeois state in the

fascist state

the main thing different with fascism

is that fascism

is in excess over and above it

it's this

extra thing on top

in political terms

the extra thing is political

dictatorship the use of police

paramilitary

extra-legal

dictatorial and emergency powers

in order to arbitrarily engage in this

obscene

criminal terrorism

against society in economic terms it

manifests itself in the form of

corporatism

corporatism

uh being having its origins in anarchist

syndicalism in anarcho-syndicalism

this week

um

so what is this excess we're dealing

with

what gives rise to this excess

it's the same thing that gives rise

to anarchism because it is anarchism

the excess in question

is the internal contradictions within

the liberal bourgeois state

these contradictions

basically are between the

form of the universal liberal state

within classical modernity

and its real

origins its reality its

actual existence

this contradiction is the object of both

fascist and anarchistic aesthetics

it's just that they cope about it in

different ways anarchists pretend that

they're saying we need to abolish the

state

anarchists say yes you're right about

the state

uh and this is why

you do need to abolish the state

the liberal bourgeois state but the

abolition

means something that the

anarchists of today don't quite

understand

abolition of the state means

fully exercise this excess dictatorial

power

this obscene criminal supplement of

state power nakedly shamelessly and

brutally out in the open

is arbitrary exercise of pure political

power criminally right

with no regard for its legality no

regard for its grounding in civil

society no regard for its grounding in

any definite institution no regard

for any historical tradition

this excess

is the object of both anarchism and

fascism alike

fascists also abolish the state they

just abolish it in a way the anarchist

couldn't even dream of

because when the ani when the fascist

abolishes the state they abolish the

form of the state namely the form that

guarantees the minimum of the civil

liberties that allow the state to have

the minimum of some kind of grounding

in some human civil society reality

the fascists abolish this they suspend

this

and all that remains at the very top is

this criminal excess which they

exercised over the whole of society

anarchists literally do the same thing

the reason fascists and anarchists

appear different

is because

fascists are just anarchists

at the reigns of state power

they abolish the state and for all

intents and purposes they suspend the

law

they suspend the state

and engage in this anarchic exercise of

power

anarchists may say oh hitler wasn't an

anarchist mussolini wasn't an anarchist

but that's just because

they're not at the reigns of power if

you put any one of these fucking

anarchists from the book fair at the

reigns of power they will be hitler

hitler doesn't mean strict traditional

order hitler means we're going to

suspend

any strict tradition we're going to

suspend any real order

and replace it with the criminal

anarchic

power

of uh the open dictatorship as they

would put it of the will

of the individual will

so you see

you should start to begin to get an idea

of what i actually mean when i say

hitler was an anarchist

hitler was an anarchist

because

he disguised what was actually the

criminal excess of the bourgeois state

itself with some kind of revolutionary

overthrow in abolition both the

anarchists and the fascists think that

they're abolishing the state and from

the fascist perspective they're

abolishing bourgeois liberal democracy

from the anarchist perspective they're

abolishing the state as such

the difference is not important because

when anarchists say the state as such

they're setting up a false generality

what they mean in actual reality is the

state that actually fucking exists which

is the bourgeois state

you don't you can't speak for all states

for all time in all realities it's

definite particular states

that you can actually relate to

otherwise you're setting up a fake

abstraction

passionate claim that they're they're

they're ushering in a new order

anarchists also claim they're engaging

in this revolution but all they're doing

is giving expression

the criminally constitutive

violence

of state power in class society and in

bourgeois society in particular

the bourgeois state

pretends

to be based in the form of the law the

rule of the law

the universal equality of the citizen

before the rule of the law and the

republic

but in reality

the criminal excess constitutive of this

state

rears its head

when the form of the law enters into

contradiction with the content

of the people over which it exercises

power

specifically in the form of the

proletariat which marx said was the

object

of statehood

sorry the object of all reality

and of thought the truth of reality you

know

and it's not that the human content is

too much and too wealthy for the state

to account for as an abstract as an

abstraction

it's just that

the actual reality of the people

realizes the objectivity of the state

in a way that the state cannot account

for

formally

it is this contradiction between form

and content that is the object of

anarchism and fascism alike

both of them respond to this by saying

the contradiction between

the form of the state

and the reality of the state

basically means that the reality of the

state

has

is reducible to the negation of these

forms

fascism negates these forms through its

brutal open dictate dictatorial exercise

of power anarchists tried to negate

these forms through illegal criminal

whatever lumpin bullshit activity but

they are one and the same thing

they are one and the same thing

one is at the reins of power

the other is just a

generality expressed wherever

anarchists fascist nazis are the hired

thugs

of the bourgeoisie the bourgeoisie

needs to address this contradiction in

some kind of way

it cannot do so

without imperiling

its own class

through a new social revolution and a

new revolution in the forces of

production which will render superfluous

the rule of the monopolists

so what does the bourgeoisie do

they put men in masks like the clan

like the black legion in the 30s

like the nazis like the sa

and like anarchists and like antifa and

like black bloc

to do their dirty fucking work that

cannot be accounted for

by the overt and legal forms of the

state

and they mobilize this criminal element

in order to dispense

with the working class

because for the bourgeoisie the

proletariat is the ultimate criminal

existence and why do they condemn the

proletariat as criminal they condemn the

proletariat as criminal

because the proletariat

in its actual reality cannot be assailed

by its empty

negative form it demands particularity

it demands a particular state it demands

a civilizational state it demands a

people state that reflects the character

of the people that reflects the

character of the civilization that

reflects back to them their real

substantive history and real substantive

reality

that's the criminal crime of the

proletariat in the eyes of the

bourgeoisie so in order to dispense with

this ultimate crime the bourgeoisie

employs these criminal lumping scum

even though the proletariat are in the

light of day they're in the light of day

and before the whole people

playing by the book

the bourgeoisie employs this lumpin

criminal element

in order to safeguard its parasitical

and monopoly power over the whole of the

people

anarchists nazis fascists

they're all the same fucking thing

they are all the same fucking thing

yup

the financial aristocracy is nothing but

the rebirth of the lump and proletariat

at the heights of bourgeois society

absolutely the lumpin is key here

because what is the lumpin the lumpin is

the realized criminality

the realized contradiction and realized

psychosis

and madness and breakdown

of the bourgeois order

of the capitalist

boudoir liberal order

the lump and scum these disgusting scum

these dregs

realize

the madness of bourgeois

society these degenerate scum

and terrorize the good people terrorize

the working class and terrorize the

proletariat

wanna go on with some semblance of

humanity some semblance of normality and

yes some semblance of real order

real order

which both fascists and anarchists

oppose

yes exactly criminal mercenaries for the

bourgeoisie the lump and scum that were

employed by the cia and the state

department

and the department of defense

during the cold war to go to these

african countries to go to latin america

they're all criminal lump and scum who

are mercenaries of the parasitical

imperialist monopoly bourgeoisie

a hero of the anarchist the hero of the

fascist

hitler was a fascist sorry hitler was an

anarchist

hitler didn't represent some authentic

tradition of german statehood

stalin pointed this out he didn't

reflect some true patriarchal tradition

of the german state there was no

continuity between any german monarchy

and hitler he came from fucking nowhere

the expression and triumph of the pure

will

and represented the anarchy anarchic

criminal excess

of the bourgeois state

hitler was an anarchist

yeah just like confessions of an

economic hitman by smedley butler

yep the free cops

also engaged in artistic via anarchistic

violence but the retard midwit

comes to me and says

hitler didn't overtly subscribe to the

doctor there's no doctrine of anarchism

it's a fucking cultural trend and i'll

prove it to you

what the fuck is anarchism ladies and

gentlemen in the most contemporary sense

it's punk rock it's the punk rock

subculture what is the punk rock

subculture it's a lumpin subculture

where both anarchists and neo-nazis same

thing

for the same reasons for the same

rebellion against society we're going to

adopt the swastika the most

uh offensive thing ever

same punk rock shit

it's a soft power

anglo-american export

but let me actually explain to you

before we do that the final nail into

the coffin of historical anarchism

because on the one hand you have fascism

in italy and germany

which

by associate by um

by its lineage comes from

syndicalism from italy and then the

influence from the italians onto the

germans and their fascist corporatism

yada yada

culmination of anarchism

you also have what's going on in spain

what about spain spain spain the final

nail in the coffin of the so-called

patriarchal tradition of anarchism now

after spain i want to make it clear any

patriarchal tradition of anarchism dies

it's over

there's no anarchism it's not a real

fucking thing it's not like marxism

leninism that has an actual reality in

china and cuba

it's it's just some stupid bullshit

completely made up not a real tradition

after spain

but it culminates in spain

i'm going to actually explain to you why

that is

so in the formation of the first

international working men's association

in the 19th century

bakunin and his faction

basically established an anarchist

tradition in spain and this basically

reached its zenith

culmination

in the cnt fai the

anarchy syndicalist

spain

and it was a pretty big movement among

the lump and scum

and also among the privileged

proletarian urban proletariat

of spain cities

where it reached its zenith

so

when franco cooed the spanish government

uh in 36

it began there began a spanish civil war

and the reason why anarchists are

considered fellow leftists

is because they fought alongside

the communist and popular front

government for a time

against franco so for once in history

the anarchists were fighting fascists

instead of joining them like they did in

italy and like they did in germany

this is what has given rise to the

impression that anarchism is

anti-fascist it's because of spain

but actually

the reason why the syndicalists

were opposing franco

was entirely different from the reason

why the popular front

was opposing franco

the anarchists didn't like the way in

which frank franco was drawing from

some backward peasants in the

countryside reactionary ones

and disprivileging the role of the

spanish city

so the anarchists alongside the

trotskyists were trying to preserve the

tyranny of the town over the country

which franco was also doing

inadvertently it's just that franco was

forced

to make compromises here right

um

so this is the origin

of the anarchist resistance against

franco

more or less

it's not that the anarchists were

particularly engaged

in any kind of anti-fascist revolution

they didn't care about franco

they were more so

concerned about

it was basically the syndicalist versus

the anarcho-syndicalists versus the

spanish fascists

the phalange right that was an

inter-fascist civil war right communists

have fought each other the sino-soviet

split

and elsewhere so this was also an

inter-fascist

dispute between the

syndicalists

and the phalanges both pretty much had

the same class background and subjective

stance

and you know attitude and aesthetic and

whatever

very similar beliefs as well it's just

that the anarchists

had been engaged in this attempt to

carry out a revolution

syndicalist revolution and overthrow of

the spanish state

and

they didn't really see a distinction

between franco

and

the popular front democratic spain

whatever

uh they didn't see a distinction between

those beyond the the temporary alliance

they saw them as the same thing pretty

much right

so that's something important to keep in

mind

they pretty much saw them uh as the same

thing

so there's a bit yeah there's a big myth

that the the anarchists were part of the

anti-fascist resistance they weren't

their beef with franco and their beef

with the um

alange

was an inter

inter-anarchist inter-fascist dispute

al franco wasn't really an anarchist he

wasn't even

i don't know if he was a

full-on fascist like mussolini was

you call him one i guess he was a

military dictator right but he wasn't a

phalangest and the philanth was the like

spanish fascist right

so mussolini

sorry franco i don't know if i'd call

him an anarchist but the phalanx were

anarchists right so if the lands versus

the syndicalist is a it's a civil war

basically but people who subscribe to

pretty much the same ideology

um

going to skip a lot of shit but i just

want to give you this crucial fucking

it's disgusting it's fucking just

so the popular front made so much

concessions to these anarchists these

syndicalists right

they made so much concessions to them

but eventually communists were becoming

increasingly prominent in that popular

front government

at popular front in general communists

were starting to become very prominent

and there was a few people who didn't

like this now who were who are the

people that were upset

by the rise in popularity of the

communists in the popular front

government

liberals freemasons right freemason

liberal globalist

you know scary whatevers

and anarchists

the cnt

alongside these liberals like casato

together conspired to hatch a plan

to coo

the popular front government of um

edrin i forgot his name a green

whatever his name is

to cool that government in order to stop

the communist threat now what did they

both have in common both represented the

urban

bump in and financial

capitalist class globally in the

bourgeoisie yada yada they both

represented this

and the communist prominence in the

popular front government was

increasingly allowing it to become

actually popular empowering the spanish

peasant

the spanish popular majority

the urbanoids didn't fucking like that

so they cooed the popular front

government in 1939

in order to negotiate terms of peace and

surrender with franco these anarchist

pieces of shit

thought that stalinism was more of a

threat than franco

they literally cooed the popular front

government in a fascist coup

a fascist coup no different from

mussolini's march on rome no different

from

the fascist coup in in germany in terms

of just this naked overthrow of a

fucking democratic government

in order to make peace with franco

which failed by the way

let me tell you the truth

just for that alone and that ended the

anarchist tradition that that's that was

the final nail in the coffin to

anarchism as a tradition it was done

after that

but that alone should have earned

anarchism the reputation the same

reputation as nazism historically we

should have spit in these fucking

people's faces we should have considered

them our enemies should have con same

thing as neo-nazis same exact fucking

thing they should have been disgraced

forever

i mean the october revolution already

did that

because these scum

tried to destroy the early soviet

republic

and opposed

the proletariat of the soviet union in

the democratic dictatorship of the

proletariat and the peasantry as these

wreckers and saboteurs working on behalf

of the western imperialists to undermine

the soviet union but if that wasn't

enough and if it wasn't enough that they

joined the ranks of mussolini and the

fascist party in italy

if all of that wasn't enough

they cooed the popular front government

and opened the doors for franco

that should have killed the whole thing

why didn't

why didn't

we're gonna talk about the cold war now

anarchism is dead at this point nobody

gives a fuck about it it's dead it's

meaningless it's garbage

spit on its grave

the last anarchist adolf hitler shot

himself in a bunker

and the peoples of europe declared

victory over this blight

of nazism this blight of the madness of

traditional and classical modernity that

culminated in fascism anarchism yada

yada they defeated it they stamped their

feet on it and it was gone forever

so we thought

so we thought

during the cold war

the soviets became very popular among

the intellectuals of the west

during world war ii i mean

and in the immediate aftermath of the

cold war something changed

um

expectations of the soviet union as a

workers paradise and a dreamland

were shattered with you know

the one hand huge concentrated effort

cold war anti-communist propaganda

coming from

you know

cia and the rest

and american soft power on the other

hand

people like solzhenitsyn

in 1956

uh and so on so all these intellectuals

who were marxists because they're oh the

soviet union is the land of the future

they started to become dissidents

to the communist project

um

these dissidents to the communist

project people like jean paul sartre

right they started to cope and say

well i'm gonna start

they dusted off these techniques you

know what

in history

marx

maybe marx made a mistake because i see

here that marx was arguing with these

anarchists maybe the anarchists were

right

so in this way they revived anarchism

purely as this like intellectual

tradition

uh which was dead at the time they

revived it as this way of coping

with the disappointment

uh the soviet union

was for them

and it was basically

solely defined by anti-stalinism right

the soviet union was such a

scary scary place

disappointing place we need to get to

the true liberation the true

emancipation emancipation that's

anarchism right

this is being propped up by the congress

for cultural freedom it's being propped

up by the deep state it's being propped

up

by the you know imperialists during the

cold war in the west

again as a way to give expression to the

dissident

movement within

global communism especially within the

west

now

this also culminates in um

may 1968 right the counter culture and

all that stuff

where this rebellion

by like the children of the communists

right

um

a lot of people think that

counterculture was about rebelling

against the state no it was about

rebelling against the communist parties

at the time

at least within france in 68

french communist party

was seen alongside the de gaulle

government as the enemy right of the

students in france in 1968 so anarchism

was a way they gave expression

to this um

dissatisfaction

but actually

one of the causes of may 68 and by

consequence the adoption of this

anarchistic ideology

was the rise of american soft power and

the arise of americanism

now america

had this english

british invasion cultural invasion with

the beatles the rest which produced the

american hippie counterculture this was

starting to spread around the whole

world so by 68

um

the french youth and the french students

are starting to become infected and

infatuated with americanism and american

culture right as this way of

basically opposing

all cultural patriarchs all traditional

cultural patriarchal authorities it's

this new libidionalization of culture

that was a consequence of the american

eyes mass pop culture right

so

you don't know this but in people think

france in 68 was this huge beautiful

revolutionary thing but charles de

gaulle

was seen as a

uh an anti-american

he was resisting america he was

resisting america's new global world

order

and the rebellion against him in may 68

was

and it like this implicit extremely

pro-american

stance and sentiment now you could say

well what about its attitude to the

vietnam war has wasn't that

anti-american

yes but

the resistance to the vietnam war

was also the expression of the american

counterculture itself

so you can't really say it's

anti-american when this is something

going on internal to america and within

america right

yes de gaulle was an

anti-atlanticist right

so

anarchism shifts from being this dead

tradition that culminates in continental

european fascism

to this expression of anglo-american

kind of post-modernity or modernity

whatever you want to call it high

modernity post modernity whatever you

want to call it anarchism basically

comes to be

the political ideological form

of american globalism that is taking

shape

in the post-war period according to

which

you have this post-edible

um

relation to the state to the

nation-state

to cultural

traditions and to state socialistic

culture whether it's the welfare state

of europe

or it's the state socialism czech

slovakia during the prague spring

and yada yada yada

now what why why is this happening why

specifically is this happening

it's this new way culture what we call

culture

is being manufactured

this new way in which

culture is not only being manufactured

but

mass culture in particular

um

is starting to become libidinally

anarchic itself

uh the ways in which we enjoy music

and enjoy things in general

is starting to become too um

too much for the old

patriarchical and edible

forms of culture to absorb

we're all rocking out to the beatles and

we're all high on drugs naked and doing

whatever this kind of unleashing of

orbital energies

uh is too much for

the old patriarchal order to handle

now

from

a psychoanalytic or freudian perspective

patriarchal orders are basically ways of

domesticating enjoyment

they're ways of regulating enjoyment how

do we enjoy things we have an economy of

enjoyment

we regulate them to make sure there's

like balance and there's some kind of

harmony and there's some kind of like

order right

but with the american era of mass

culture and this new cultural term

you have this

intense unleashing

of

what they call in luck on psychoanalysis

or they call them deloses

um

schizoanalysis right it's what he calls

it

julie songs or enjoyment right you have

this unleashing of jewish songs

and unleashing of enjoyment

um

that goes beyond the threshold of

what can be tamed by the traditional

society

so this is part of american globalism is

part of the american cultural turn and

it's part of american soft power

and the way in which

that gets translated in political

ideological terms

um

for these young people at the time is

anarchism now they dress it up in some

kind of patriarchal tradition oh this

was going back to proton and sterner and

these intellectuals that has nothing to

do with it right they're just importing

that to give expression

this more fundamental

rejection

of

the political state in favor of a more

libidinally proximate

uh idea of pure anarchy man let's go

rock out punk rock whatever right

it's this hyper it's basically

consumerism it's this excessive

consumeristic enjoyment

let me put it this way right

today in 2022

isn't our state a little outdated for

the for the young people

i mean i know hillary clinton she's uh

pokemon go to the polls and our

politicians are silly and they're out of

touch

but also that also represents the way in

which the state is no longer sexy it's

not sexy to us

state isn't sexy

compare the lofty veneer of the

authority of the state

to an ariana grande concert

ariana grande commands true devotion

why does she command devotion

she's proximate she's immediate

right there she's real the state

is far away

it's lying to us

i don't trust the government man

i don't trust them they're lying about

everything we're not in democracy

all of their promises turned out to be

false all of their promises are not real

but this punk rock band man

this is real

this is real

because it's

aesthetical

because it's

beautiful

it's not formal anymore it's beauty

right

now

this breakdown of the state's

authority

also it's not just it's not just in

america

the founding fathers owned slaves

we were founded by white slave owning

landowners

we killed the indians

it's not just that it's also in terms of

what happened during the fall of

communism

this is not all a lie

we're not in true communism

it's the same thing it's literally the

exact same

aesthetic that's developing historically

it's the same exact thing

okay

it's the exact same thing going on

during the prague spring in in 68

and uh

with the exposing of the whatever right

so

in political ideological terms

there's something that arrives here

that's the same thing

as what hobbes was dealing with but

hobbes was dealing with the state

what we're dealing with now is something

psychological and libidinal right

but it's the same

formation what is it

it's a vacuum

traditional ways in which states are

able to legitimize themselves

at the level of phenomenal reality

the level of our subjective

consciousness level of our language

level of our aesthetic and at the level

of our psychological reality

broke down states cannot legitimize

themselves

in um

ways that are compatible

with the american cultural turn

so these are the contemporary origins of

what are called anarchism it's the same

thing as the original origin of

anarchism except it's transposed from

the sphere

of these impersonal relations of the

state

to these psychological and libidinal

uh relations of culture

so that is anarchism today it's not some

doctrine of ideas it's not pronoun it's

not because it's a completely different

historical context

and fashion of them today bears the same

relation

to anarchism as it did before they it's

the same thing

as of in ukraine when they were in

maidon what were they saying

russian soviet communism in bullshit

decommunization now bring down linen

statues it was all a lie

punk rock rock out lady gaga supports us

youtube and bono supports us

we're rocking up we're true enlightened

europeans already playing video games

but this is azov azov is the same

subject

as off is the same subject as this azov

is not some ancient patriarchal military

order of like we are the defenders of

ukraine no it's the same anarchistic

globalized american subject

same thing

why does it culminate into us off

because the realization becomes

increasingly clear

that at the same time that you

experience this negation

you also experience a semblance of

purity and subjective abstraction

a ukrainian anarchist has to be an

azovite they have to translate

this pure empty vacuum

into some

apparently determinate form of ukraine

and ukraine's history and the white race

and whatever else in order to safeguard

the purity of this negation from the

orcs and the hordes to the east which

will

wow which will commit the unspeakable

error of filling this empty form

this pure empty form

some semblance of content

as of

is

a protective barrier between

the reddit consumerist subject

and a real

real

telluric civilization

a true patriarchal authority worthy of

our era

which is what russia represents

russia represents a

true determination

of post-modern universality

a true revival of patriarchal authority

to save themselves from this

they must become

as off

by the way

in the same way

the german lumpen the german urbanoid

had to save themselves from the

patriarchical authority posed by russian

communism

stalin in particular

in the form of hitler

hitler hitler

was there as of

and stalin was there putin

i want you guys to understand that

communistic violence

marxist understanding of this violence

it's not adventuristic it's not

volunteeristic

that violence comes from them

ours is self-defensive

we don't impose

this anarchy

they

impose it we just respond

we don't go out of our way

to negate

we respond to the negation

i'm gonna play the super chats give me a

moment

based thank you chris gabrielle denuncio

was the leader of the free state of

fiume an anarcho-fascist state that

lasted for around four years in italy

yeah thank you

appreciate you the egg in the cup versus

the egg semiotic disintegration

thank you nat randall appreciate you man

appreciate you so much

based

thank you now for miss connor bainite

thank you tzm it's not a coincidence

that francois spain saw an explosion of

cooperatives and cynical historics

you know

nicholas you said something really

stupid he said the big other is empty

why are you

this is just sternerism it's a

sternarism with a zijki and twist oh the

big other means that it's all fake and

illusory no the big other is how we

psychologically relate to something that

is actually real

it does actually exist when lacon says

there is no big other he's not talking

about existence

sorry it's the opposite

he's not saying there's nothing there

he's saying it does not exist as in the

form

doesn't exist somewhere

but patriarchal authority is precisely

not a form

yes it's a name of the big other yes

it's the name of the father it's more

than the big other it is literally

the master signifier the name of the

father it is

the universal universal insofar as it

assumes

particularity

specific particular

the big other

in its

as it arises from the real

the way it arises from the real is not a

discrete form it's not an imaginary form

it's a signifier

signifiers are not forms

signifiers are a deeper

just like

in eastern mysticism

the tau

the dao a tao is not a form it's a way

the form is

uh

form is only a symptom of the dot

thank you iris appreciate you ukrainian

anarchist massacre jews in the russian

civil war

yeah i know

yeah

thank you for that man for the negation

of negation fund thank you so much

thank you guys for keeping the stream

afloat

wanna salute you all you know

appreciate you

appreciate you making this shit possible

but um

anyway what i was trying to say

is that

mig thank you man i'm gonna unpause it

in a second

um

thank you mig but

why is it not going through

there we go

alpha females rise thank you all that

you do to save our boys from holistic

paganism more educational streams please

the azovite and anarchists alike are

terrified of you gorilla sun gorilla sun

thank you so much amila i appreciate you

i appreciate that so much also

appreciate those words you know

that's what i'm trying to do here you

know

but yeah thank you i appreciate that so

much

but

anyway

i was trying to get at

was that

so this is the origin of contemporary

anarchism it's a form of cold war

anti-communist disillusionment

uh but also represents a form of

american

cultural globalism

articulated as

a political ideology

so

how so it's like it opens up a lot of

questions about culture right

for example how do we deal with can we

be reactionaries and just return to the

older form of culture

uh or is there some way to

um

well it's the same as marxism actually

there is a world historical progressive

achievement

of american mass culture which the

soviet union may be blind

many lotta monarchists unlike in europe

submitted to real socialist movements

like moss what was the difference there

rediscovery of the peasantry

uh it's it's more so that

anarchism is a type of

confused socialism

um

just

you know you could begin as an anarchist

because you're responding to the

injustice of the state

but then through the course of struggle

you can just

put put aside the doctrine

you know

and

put the struggle first so that's

definitely possible

i'm just talking about anarchism at an

essential level

and it's it's most essential level right

um

but moreover this is what i want to get

to right

when you think about why ideologies like

anarchism are so popular

um

i want you to also think about

what could our attitude be toward

american cultural globalism

because

you can't just

replace it with your own

special uh

older culture

the soviets failed at this

and here's how they failed

the soviet union

in

by the 60s and 70s 70s especially

it's basically the tyranny of your

teacher at school so i know most of you

went to school who you live in america

you went to public school right

isn't it this weird contradiction

between like the youth

um

the youths uh

what the youth considers cool and true

and real and then the teacher kind of

just basically trying to cope

on this purely institutional level and

is there nothing more pathetic than when

the teacher tries to enact a compromise

and be like all right guys

and i whip

and shine

two plus two equals whatever right they

try to do that or when a politician does

it anything that represents the old

20th century state institutions

there's something fundamentally

incompatible between these

and the objects of

our cultural enjoyment

right we're our real

we our aesthetic today is defined by the

transcendence of beauty so ariana grande

is

true

your teacher teaching you math is like

stupid whatever i'm just i'm just going

through this just to get a job i don't i

don't care about any of this right

um

you know interestingly

china found a way to overcome this and

it did so during its cultural revolution

precisely when it isolated itself

entirely from all foreign culture in

general

create its own pure revolutionary

culture

in the course of this china discovered a

sharp distinction between the material

reality of the state

and that of culture

and so china has proven to be the most

efficient

in being able to cope with globalized

american culture

which is basically to de-culturalize the

state

the institutions of the state don't try

to be cool

they don't try to be um

hip

they confine themselves to their actual

material function

and in this way culture can flourish

in the most raw and authentic way

and people can also possess a respect

for the institutions of the state

so somehow they're made compatible in

china

where they aren't in united states

elsewhere but the chinese way

is spreading right it's spread to russia

so

this is how anarchism

is the foremost enemy of

anti-imperialist if you believe in

multi-polarity

when i say believe it i mean like you

recognize this new era that's emerging

the ultimate expression of american

ideology today is anarchism

why because

before anarchism was just

trying to cope with the deficient

aesthetic of soviet marxism leninism but

in this dark maoist age

of chinese marxism leninism

and the rise of post-globalist

aesthetics not pre-globalist

post-globalist aesthetics multi-polar

aesthetics

um

this

stance

of the unhappy consciousness is being

reconciled and so we see and witness

the re-emergence of

cultures and civilizations

that's also hip and cool somehow

among the youth

ariana grande is not going to cause a

counterculture in china

the counterculture are superfluous in

china oh you got good music you got a

good artist who cares

communism is a deeper unconscious

reality than all of that you go to china

and you say it's all a lie

the ccp is all alike communism they're

gonna laugh at you you know what they're

gonna say they're gonna say huh i

remember we did that dumb shit during

the cultural revolution

good thing we put an end to that

good thing we matured from that good

thing we came to a recognition and

appreciation for the fact that the truth

of our ruling ideology

is not phenomenally immediate to us

it's an unconscious reality that goes

deeper

it goes deeper and it's uh

you call it it's not just skin deep

right

i'll laugh at you same thing in russia

and they'll be like

well we did go through the 90s in that

crazy 90s that wild west of the 90s of a

pure american culture we're over it

see the chinese and russians

they're not

amazed by your video games not phased by

your reddit they're not phased by your

soft power culture they're not phrased

by your ariana grande or your music or

your hip-hop or any of that it's not

subversive

the thing that they're actually

concerned about is your hitlerite

political correctness where you're

trying to impose these new

rules

on culture and discourse

which anarchists are leading the way in

the united states by the way with

political correctness it's political

correctness they have a problem with

it's the opposite right

they don't like this way in which

american culture

being unable to ground itself in any

real civilizational reality

is starting to become a hobbesian

leviathan

where

logo was talking about this

earlier where he's like you know i read

this fan fiction for some reason where

like there's a whole forum where

everyone's arguing about harry potter

and they're like can harry potter be a

black woman can harry potter be trans

and they're all arguing about like fan

fiction for harry potter and then you

realize

what's going on they're creating the

leviathan of american globalist culture

first you senselessly enjoy harry potter

but then

you take this senseless enjoyment to be

the ultimate object anarchism right

harry potter has subverted the world

so we're gonna take this or this is kind

of like with music like let's say we

senselessly listen and dance to this

music

and it somehow negates some old edible

patriarchical authority

and then that's fine but then we go okay

that is the only real thing that

negation so that's anarchism right but

then something else happens after that

okay that's the only real thing

now begins the negotiation

what is it what is its content how can

we deal with it how can we dwell within

it what is it and then you have these

music subculture to be like you're not a

true fan of the beatles name their

albums name their this name their that

and it becomes a question of knowledge

right the university discourse

um that's that's the whole thing that's

all punk rock is by the way the whole of

punk rock subculture is this gatekeeping

bullshit and actually punk emerges

because

the hippie kind of counter senseless

enjoyments of the counterculture need to

somehow now be disciplined they need to

be disciplined

because we need to know our shit right

we need to know our shit because we've

elevated

this counterculture this countercultural

aesthetic

to be like the religious absolute so

we've got to create laws and regulate it

somehow because it's the truth it's the

only real thing there's naturally going

to be contradictions and disagreements

which arise out of that so that's how

punk rock subculture emerges and that's

how

you go from senseless enjoyment to this

gatekeeper america's mythos belongs in

the revolution and manifest destiny of

the 1800s now it's just soulless

corporate marvel superheroes and harry

potter

yes uh but it's more than that it's more

than that

um

because it's also perverse to libid on

the lies

see i'll get to that i'm going to get to

that in a second

but

punk rock is in front you go from

senseless enjoyment whatever then punk

rock introduces gatekeeping why does it

introduce gatekeeping because the

senseless enjoyment becomes sublimated

into the ultimate object that's

replacing the authority of the state

it's replacing the authority of older

ideologies and institutions which is

basically anarchism now how does it

happen

that at the same time that this is

anarchist it's also neo-nazi because the

gatekeeping has more implications

than just

recognizing anarchy and okay in the uk

it also

manifests itself in the form of oh well

now we also need to recognize the fact

we have a lot of cultural and racial

premises

that

that our subculture assumes which is

what

white race

middle class white kids in the urban

cities

it doesn't it's not really a big leap to

go from the gatekeeping of punk the

neo-nazism is it

if you just see some fucking guy from

pakistan in the uk

he doesn't know shit about your dumb ass

enjoyment or anything like that

so you've got a gatekeepe we've got to

gatekeep our society we've got to

gatekeep our communities from these

outsiders who don't understand the truth

that the state needs to be abolished

yeah we believe and abolish everything

even races even nations but

that pakistani guy he doesn't get it

he's a muslim he worships something he

has a ethnic character of some kind

we've already abolished everything but

it seems like all of us who've abolished

everything we're white we're white

skinned we're racially pure our racial

white purity represents the purity of

our negation surely

so that's how they become wearing

swastikas and skinheads and neo-nazis

all that shit it all comes from the same

thing

you begin from anarchism and anarchism

is the clay and out of this nihilistic

clay

you make a swastika that is always going

to be the fate of anarchism always

it's going to be that swastika you begin

with the clay

out of that clay you make a swastika

you have to

have to

you have to make that swastika

anarchism to nazism it's a direct

pipeline

because they relate to one another

directly

you notice how long this stream is and

i'm just talking there's so much to

exhaust here there's so much to talk

about

there's so much to talk about

we didn't even get to bread tube or any

of that shit right

but i just want to talk about anarchism

as a politically correct tradition

because the gatekeeping mostly

culminates in the political correctness

most punk rock thing of all

it's leftism of the byzawa western

baseball

which is what it culminates in

you see start to see something weird

going on in the west

which is

why is it that the ideology of the

anarchism seems to be the most pure

and distilled form

of what corporate america believes of

what the ruling elites believe of what

the ruling institutions believe that

the reason is pretty simple

all of those institutions are derivative

from the same anarchist metaphysics

according to which

all cultural realities and determinate

realities of the people

all of the

histories of people all the patriarchal

traditions of state and civilization

yada yada yada

are meaningless

empty abstract and meaningless

this is biocapitalism 101. all that is

solid melts into air yada yada but it's

taking a cultural turn right this is

what we're talking about here

so the anarchists have become the most

pure and undistilled form of the

ideology of the class

it's not an ideology that's it's

convenient to have out in the open but

then again neither is

fascism it's not sustainable for the

preservation of order

so what needs to happen

is

i'm gonna explain it to you like this

anarchism sorry nazism neo-nazism i

should call it neo-nazism

is anarchism

plus the national question

plus the national question as soon as

we're confronted with those russians

and those chinese those muslims as soon

as we're confronted with those people

all these anarchists are going to reveal

their nazi neo-nazi ways

because

you have to understand

anarchism at this point has become a

very delicate and methodical tradition

of like if you misgender someone you're

getting beheaded right it's become like

that

china russia and other cultures you

don't give a fuck about any of that

there has to be a way to gatekeep our

civilization from those people because

this is what they have made civilization

into they've turned civilization

into a form

of pure abstractionism and pure

discursive abstractionism political

correct gatekeeping and the gatekeeping

of what is nihil nothingness

right

well that civilization needs to be

protected that's the purity of the white

race that they talk about

that's what needs to be protected the

purity of their negative reflexivity

what is the lgbt flag everyone

it's all colors

it's the universal all colors all colors

in the lgbt black

white the color that reflects all colors

same flag same thing

that's the lgbt

now everything i'm telling you would

have i would have been considered a

fucking admin

10 20 years ago

look around you guys motherfuckers

you lit they're literally admitting it

they're literally pronato oh out in the

open they're literally in the ass off

battalion they literally join the azov

battalion these anarchists they're

literally pro-nato

they literally repeat propaganda against

russia and china that comes from the

state department they're literally

talking about decolonized xinjiang and

tibet

is this the stretch what i'm saying i

think i'm just making sense of something

that we otherwise thought was really

contradictory but when you fucking think

about it vosh's anarcho-bidenism and his

combination of anarchism and nato

there's nothing contradictory about it

whatsoever it makes perfect sense

after the the lecture i just gave you it

makes perfect sense no it's not just

fucking twitter

because they're literally in the eyes

all battalion they join them in ukraine

that's not on twitter

anarchism is the parochial

even patriarchal tradition

of the monopolist historical anglo-saxon

bourgeoisie they don't believe in

anything they're nihilus they don't

believe in states they don't believe in

anything it's all meaningless it's all

arbitrary whatever

they've perfectly distilled this in the

form of today's anarchism see today

perfectly distilled

what is capitalism today by the way is

it not a form of anarchism is it not a

form of economic anarchism where

the pure

institution money money mcm prime

money is what money is just the pure and

indeterminate way which all things are

subjected to a common measure

irregardless of their particular

realities this is how marx describes it

right

well this has culminated in anglo-saxon

financial capital

the zenith and pinnacle of the world

capitalist system

is the eye

it's the eye

of financial capital

the i which subjects the entire world to

the same abstract indeterminate and

common measure

chinese are totalitarian they're dictate

the dictatorial same with the russians

why because they're grounding

their economic reality in something

human something particular something

substantive

not something pure and abstract and

negative something substantive in

particular

they insist

on something human something real

something patriarchal in the strict

sense of historical traditional

this is russia and china

that's their crime this stamp and mark

of particularity

now we should go and and make our turn

to breakthrough i feel like this i'm

missing so much right

should make our turn to bread too all

these people who are x neo-nazis they're

all ex-neo-nazis because they have the

same nihilistic position

shouldn't we be tolerant of ex-neo-nazis

i don't know if we should i don't know

if we have to pander to those people i

think those people are all upper middle

class nihilistic lump and degenerate

scum who don't represent any mainstream

tendency among the masses and the masses

are disposed to conservatism to

paleoconservative populism yadda yadda

that's fine

we can work with that

why should we work with nazism

that's a degenerate lumpin phenomena of

the criminal lumpet a criminal lump and

scum don't believe in anything

they don't respect anything human it's

all

the same to them it's all the same

this excess criminality

of the ruling order

criminality is not a way to defy the law

criminality is the law

criminality is the obscene reality of

the bourgeois law

of the bourgeois state

he's needless

he's

nearls he's anti-human neolis

we should see them

indiscriminately

neo-nazis so-called anarchists they're

all the same to us

why don't marxist leninists already see

that

that's what i'm going to get into next

today like i'm not going to end the

stream

let me unpause donations though

thank you so much

this is a stream for the ages gorilla

sun

thank you so much man

appreciate you

pause it again

ladies and gentlemen i have some bad

news

in western countries

marxism and marxism leninism

is just a derivative form of anarchism

now they agree with the anarchist that

everything's illegitimate and

everything's fake and everything's

illusory and everything's wrong

but we just need some extra steps

right in a utilitarian way

we're going to use the state we're going

to use the political party we're going

to use all we're going to have all of

these detours and all of these

complications

so we can return to the smooth world of

anarchism where everything will be

abolished

and all

negation will reign free on earth all

traditions will be destroyed

so it's just some extra steps

this is the basis of the anarchist

critique of marxism leninism it's just

not consistent enough

in the west tankies right

you're saying you're against the state

but you're gonna have your own communist

police you're gonna have your own

communist state and communist

commodities and communists you know it's

it's basically like communists are over

complicating it the pure thing is just

being an anarchist right

i

ass

we started infrared

because we call

we call for a new beginning

for marxism leninism in the west

the western

derangement

that has given rise to the beginning for

marxism leninism of this pure

nothingness this knee hill this negation

of all society and the world either

because you think it's an unjust or

inconsistent or whatever this negative

stance

of modernistic abstractionism is a false

beginning

i call for a new beginning a new

beginning of marxism leninism that

learns from the insights of the chinese

and the russians

and the non-western marxism marxist

leninist that allow them to derive the

adobe

the clay out of which their marxist

leninist ideology is molded not from an

anarchist position

of

ultra liberal

negation

but from some substantive particular

civilizational humanity

i am not here to replace

the libidinal fantasies and enjoyments

of mass culture with libidinal fantasies

of the enjoyment

of great civilizations

we should refer and respect our deeper

civilizational reality as something

phenomenally

remote from us rather than proximate

our civilization is not something we can

consume

it is our sublime reality

in the face of which we can only

carefully cautiously

but soberly distilled

into the concrete form

of a people's consciousness

the premise of marxist leninist the

world over

is not the anarchistic abolish and

abolition of everything

the premise

is the determinate

deep to lyric

realities

of the people of your people

of the people in the country within

which

you were born which you serve which

you've inherited

and

of which you belong as a part of a

greater whole

we have nothing in common with

anarchists nothing

our anti-capitalism has nothing in

common

we oppose capitalism because capitalism

is anarchist we don't oppose capitalism

because we're going to just artificially

contrive our own society from scratch we

oppose capitalism

because the very reality of history the

very reality of the winds of history of

the forces of production and of the

people

have outmoded it fundamentally and on a

scientific level

that is our stance as marxist leninist

in the west

but these buysworld tankies

who are abusing and misusing the legacy

of marxism leninism are trying to turn

marxism leninism into anarchism with

some extra steps no

no

marxism and anarchism are qualitatively

distinct as stalin put it in his own

words

anarchism is our enemy it is the enemy

of the working class

we don't share similar principles with

anarchists we don't share the same end

goal as anarchists but with different

steps and with different forms

there is a qualitative difference

between us

we are human

we believe in humanity we don't believe

in nothingness we don't believe in

nothing we don't believe in knee hill we

believe there's something

at the end of the tunnel we believe

there's something there

even when it seems like capitalism has

negated our entire reality something

still survives

something is still there

we want to heed the call of that

something that's still there

that's the beating heart of the people

that's what we as marxist leninist

represent the beating heart of humanity

the beating heart of our countries of

our civilizations of our peoples

that's what we represent we don't

represent nothingness we don't represent

negation we don't represent abolition of

everything we resent we represent not

the abolition but the affirmation of the

people

we don't represent the abolition of

history and of civilization but the

affirmation of true civilization we

don't represent the abolition of order

but the emergence consolidation and

might of the true real and material

order of humanity that's what we

represent

that's the meaning of gorillas and sons

i'm going to unpause the donations thank

you john harvey for the 20. appreciate

you man

thank you

social machines feed on the

contradictions they give rise to on the

negations they engender and on the

infernal operations they regenerate

capitalism learned this and ceased

doubting itself to lose

yeah

jacob stern thank you so much brother

appreciate you man holy shit

thank you so much man

so now you can understand why infrared

has become the target of the left in the

west they think i'm a nos bowler i'm a

crypto fashion i'm not a knowledgeable

not a crypto fascist

i've just taken i've just come from a

different beginning than you you've come

from the beginning of liberalism and

negation i've come from the beginning of

the beating heart of humanity i embrace

humanity in all its wealth and all its

depth yes it's countries it's nations

it's cultures traditions it's histories

all of that

i begin from that

i don't begin with nothingness i begin

with somethingness that's why we're

different

because they see me and they see that i

represent a vital essence of marxism a

living essence of marxism not a dead one

a living one

this isn't all a tool to realize some

abstract end goal

it's not a tool this is our end goal

it's humanity

but they see me say all this and they

say he must be a fascist because he

recognizes the people he recognizes

living the living beating heart of

humanity he recognizes the living

beating heart of nations and

civilizations and traditions and

cultures so he must be a fascist

no i'm not a fascist

you're a fucking fascist

you associated fascism with your fucking

father your father was right

you associated fascism with the wrath of

your father with the wrath

of your patria of your country of your

your forefathers of your tradition of

your country you associated fascism with

all those things because you took the

goddamn fascists at face value you took

at well you looked at what they were

saying and assumed that's what they

actually meant and that's actually what

they represented and it's not

they used all those things as a disguise

for the same

nihilistic political liberal modern

psychosis that you derive your perverted

form of marxism leninism from

this wrath of the beating heart of

humanity is not fascist fascism is the

chicken shit skinny little anarchist

little bitch fuck who's trying to

terrorize and attack humanity wearing

his fucking mask like a goddamn ku klux

klan member

not able to fucking show himself in the

light of day penalizing and attacking

like a criminal lump and scum the

american people and the peoples of all

countries because they're not conforming

to some politically correct arbitrarily

contrived

set of rules

that's the fucking fascist

the fascist is the one who gate keeps

humanity that's you

that's not me i don't gatekeep anything

a priori and unconditionally i embrace

the peoples of the world

whether i doesn't matter where the fuck

i am i'm in mexico i'm in colombia

i'm in india i'm in brazil i'm in russia

i'm in china i'm in the middle east i'm

in europe i don't give a fuck you put me

anywhere in the world i'm in africa put

me anywhere in the world

and i'll respect the people in their

land i'll respect the meaning beauty and

wealth of their humanity

i don't keep people's humanity

but just because we live in this country

and this is our country

doesn't mean we have anything to be

ashamed of we should develop our

particular humanity we should assert and

affirm our particular humanity that

doesn't mean we reject others or we hate

others it just means we're doing our own

fucking thing

that's the best thing we could do for

other people is do our own thing

contribute to the wealth of humanity

contribute to the wealth of this world

we each represent a different form of

humanity we each represent a different

form of the same universal humanity we

all represent different forms of that

the minute we compromise our nations our

countries our pride

our particularity the minute we

compromise that we have no access to

universal humanity only by

fully affirming our particular humanity

can we be universal human beings

and actually

coexist with others and form relations

with others and trade with others

and understand each other

chinese don't understand you goddamn

leftists

you forsake your own country you forsake

your own people they don't fucking

understand you he said why don't you go

churches why don't you go

to those trump people why don't you go

embrace your people and they say no

because america is against you china

said

against us we're chinese you're not

chinese you're a fucking american so be

a goddamn american because i can't

understand you as a human being when

you're pretending to speak on behalf of

everybody

that's what marxism leninism in the age

of multi-polarity means ladies and

gentlemen call me a fascist they called

me a fascist from dave fucking one when

i came onto the stage and i came onto

the scene for this very reason

this is why they did it

this is why they called me a fascist

bass thank

been lurking and listening to streams

since you debated that tank guy but only

just subscribed y'all are the only

people who seem to take the existence of

america seriously keep on rolling dudes

thank you so much

like the stream share the vision cpusa

2036.

and you know the truth this isn't a grip

to me guys it's not just some tool this

american patriotism shit it's not

i am a fucking american i don't care

what anyone tells me huh you're an arab

you're not an american huh you're a

foreigner you're a lebanese guy you're

not i am a fucking american i'm an

american because america is the

primordial myth

of my unconscious i don't have a home

except this

america's problem is my fucking problem

so if america goes to shit i'm going to

shit

i

have the same faith as america i'm a

part of this country

whatever this country becomes i'm a part

of it it is what i fucking am

there's no haj there's no fucking hearts

there's no story of who i fucking am

that doesn't include the wider context

of this country

and that doesn't make me a fucking

fascist

doesn't make me a fascist to embrace

my own humanity

what makes me human

are you saying america is what makes

human yes because this is where i was

from

there's no human haz there's no haas

without this how could i forsake my own

country when this is the country that

fed me that

that that clothed me that sheltered me

that

that created me

this is my country there's no haas that

exists without it what if you were born

in another country then that would be my

country

what if i was born to a different mother

it's the same fucking thing

i wasn't born in russia

this part of my soul that i feel is

russian because of how deeply attached i

am to russian literature and culture and

history but at the end of the day i'm

not russian i'm american

same with china i'm not chinese i'm

american i'm not indian i'm american i'm

not

i'm ethnically i guess it's part of my

background my parents are from lebanon

that's just a flavor on top of this shit

i'm just a type of american

that's exactly it johnny they say i hate

everything about america except the

policing of the world i like that part

people always try to tell me this is a

racist country

a racist white supremacist country

this is an anglo-supremacist evil racist

country

i'm not going to deny the evil of this

country especially in the past and it's

in its history when i see ordinary

american people i people when i look

into their eyes i see the same fucking

american naivety and ignorance that i

see when i look in the mirror

i just see a blank slate i see people

who are innocent on a fundamental level

i see a people who aren't burdened with

any inherent prejudices or any inherent

evil or any inherent dispositions as a

matter of fact 99 of the time when

americans are being racist they're just

being ignorant they're just saying whoa

i don't know

and then they're not self-aware or

they're not aware or educated enough

but malice and hatred

i don't think that comes from this soil

i think that's a

that's a relic

of the british empire

that rotten british empire i think it's

a poison that comes from above not below

from our disgusting ruling class from

our sick and disgusting ruling class

we americans we've perfected the art of

ignoring each other it's beautiful and

we've also perfected the art coming

together and informing real communities

people say americans don't have any

community with that i think we just

don't have one community

we ignore each other by default

and when we come together and and and uh

start to relate to each other in some

kind of way we we form so many

communities

real ones too

that's something that you don't see

anywhere else in the world you don't see

that anywhere else in the world

i'm gonna tell you guys a story this is

not anything profound but it's just an

example of this right

it's a story i was at a um

survival horror

camp

we're doing this overnight camp

at this like

this place in the woods where there was

tents and stuff it was a big disaster it

was like it was like fire fest but for

halloween

504 right there was these actors that

were hired to come and scare us

having a good time camping out whatever

and you know a lot of working-class

people at this thing right this is

happening like somewhere in flint

whatever and i used to i do a lot i used

to do i i i want to do it again i want

to have jackson come sometime in the

fall and do it again right

but

i was yeah i've always been into that

stuff right

he didn't me and my friends

but

there was this time when

we were there and this was like the

first one they did it was like a big

disaster

you know there wasn't enough food for

everyone and everyone wanted to leave

because it was like boring and it was

overcrowded

so everybody left and the buses took

everybody but some of us

got left behind because there wasn't

enough room for us

you mind this is like an overnight thing

there's no warmth there's no fireplace

there's nothing it's cold as fuck right

and so there's about like 12 of us that

are remaining

he two of my friends and then a bunch of

other random people

and it's pitch black and we can't see

each other

so we all get around this one

campsite that was there

and we managed to get a fire going but

we still can't see each other right

we're there for hours

and even though we were all strangers

and we all came from different

backgrounds

it was it was such a nice sense of

community

like people were helping each other

you know there was men and women both

and

they're mostly older too there's a

mixture of young and old

not too young but like my age and then

boomers and it's it's

everyone's like a family now for like

this whole night everyone's acting like

a family and we're all you know

together we don't even know who the fuck

we don't know each other we don't know

anything about each other we're sharing

stories whatever

and

i just feel like that's a really small

example

of something i think you have in this

country you don't really have another

country

because we're just all united by like

our ignorance we're united by like what

the fuck is going on we don't know what

the fuck's going on here when is the bus

coming but in the meantime you know

let's make the best of what we can do

and and you know survive i guess and

make a fire and

make food and

help out with whatever

i feel like that's what america is

we're not better or worse than any other

country we're just we're just different

right

but um

i think america is a country where

strangers can come together

and

figure out what it what what makes

a people what makes a community what

makes a state

i think that's what america is that's

how i define

but anyway we're not

we're not a type of fascist

marxism auxism leninism

comes from a deep

all the contradictions within marxism

leninism that's not that's not

utilitarian we don't believe in

to use the state and use this and use

that to arrive at the anarchist end

we don't know what the end is going to

be

marx said communism is the real movement

not an ideal we can speculate about what

is not going to exist but in terms of

what it affirmatively looks like we

don't know anything about that

nothing

not doing this to realize

some individual vision

we're doing it to honor and carry

forward the torch of humanity across

history

that's what we're doing it for to carry

the torch of humanity across history

and our dialectic method where we unite

contra contraries

we don't take anarchism as some base and

then marxism leninism is just some extra

steps

no

that dialectic

is ancient

that's the ancient tradition of humanity

whether it's dualism whether it's

religion whether it's christianity

whether it's islam whether it's judaism

it doesn't matter what it is

whether it's the dharmic religions that

dialectic

is common to all humanity not the least

of which includes our own

so it's not a detour and it's not a

it's not some kind of extra steps

a stateless moneyless classless society

that's there's no

that doesn't mean anything

that doesn't mean anything there's

there's no affirmative meaning to that

at all

that's not our end goal we don't know

what our end goal is we don't have an

end goal

we we are trying to carry forward the

torch of humanity through history we

don't have an end goal

our goal

is to serve the people our goal

is the power of the people that's our

goal our goal is to awaken the people

to realize their destiny that's our goal

we don't know what that destiny is we

are with the people

in our blindness before the future

we just want the people to get their

shit together and overthrow this inhuman

system and these anti-human elites

so we could realize our inner potential

and flourish

in our creative abilities that we can

unlock and unleash

that's all it fucking means

we don't form as a subject of capital

dude

stop fucking reading your situation as

international french fart dumb shit

dumbass left calm shit we're not a

subject of capital capital's nothing

capital is just mcm

it's a process that arises from a

particular

universalism of anglo-saxon modernity

according to which everything is held to

the common standard yeah the way that's

overcome is through particularity which

is what i'm fucking talking about

you're not a subject of capital you're a

subject of nothingness

we are not subjects of capital we are

subjects

this is the threat it poses to of

nothingness

and the threat we face

is existential we face a post-human

future of the end of humanity as we know

it that's what we're facing

the end of humanity as we know it

we face the end of humanity as we know

it

americans are unquestioning about how

we're bonded by imperialism

we're not bonded by anything

we're not bonded by anything dude

we are bounded by nothing

nothing that matters as far as it's

relevant to us anyway

the thing that we're bound by is the

thing

we're in love with

which is what we're what it's it's our

humanity we're only bound

by our own humanity

that's it we're not bounded by

imperialism we're not bounded by

capitalism we're not bound by any of

that shit

you're just bounded by your ability

to disseminate

your special consciousness to ordinary

people

which is a shortcoming of your

consciousness not the people themselves

if all anarchists want as a voluntary

because there's no community of

individuals

that's contrived through voluntary

contracts

and acting in their own self-interests

because our self is partial

part of what we are is the state part of

what we are is society part of what we

are is our obligation to something

bigger than ourselves

that is part of what we are so the self

in question is not actually a true self

that you're talking about

it's a false selfhood of an idol the

idol being the knee-hill and nothingness

of modernity

i'm going to conclude with this guys

hitler was an anarchist

there was an anarchist

no other reason

for no other reason

that for him

contradictions internal internal to

liberal statehood

would be reified as the foundation

and object

of his aesthetic

one-sided negation

not particular views about authority and

coercion and hierarchy and unitarianism

but one-sided negation is what defines

the essence of anarchism

that is why fascism and anarchism are of

one and the same essence

that's my conclusion
