Right now, our society exhibits every major characteristic necessary for revo- lution. Historian James DeFronzo has laid out the common factors working for a ‘successful’ revolution1 (though all five are hardly ever all at work at once); mass dissent, elite dissent, unifying motive, state crisis, and world permissiveness2. It takes no professional or specialist to see the bulk of these factors at work here and now. Revolution is the response to a change in standards in almost all categories of social life within a given system. Traditionally this has occurred during a period of modernization where the State has been a bar from reaching the potential that it’s ‘citizens’ feel they are due (rightly or wrongly). They occur at points when social stratification is at an extreme and the masses are increasingly being marginalized.

  • If You Want to Destroy His Sweater… Beef with Derrick, Unraveled
    If you want to destroy his sweater… Beef with Derrick, unraveled. Kevin Tucker April 10th, 2014 Contents Why Bother? ................................. 3 Self-Help and the Other ........................... 5 Horticultural Warfare ............................ 7 Delusions ................................... 9 2 Why Bother? I think to a certain extent, we’re all finally tired of Derrick Jensen and Deep Green Resistance. The anti-trans stance that DGR has held steadfast to hasdone most of the work in demolishing any residual legitimacy that Derrick and his crew might have had. Frankly, I’m relieved to see DGR fade and that’s hardly a secret. I think DGR is dangerous. I think the ideas behind it are lacking any and all historical/real world context. As anarchists, we’ve been gnawing at the roots of organized movements for nearly a century, so this isn’t new turf. However, it’s the first time we’ve seen a group try to tap into the anti-civilization milieu to build an organized resistance. And not just an organized resistance, but an organization. Replete with affi- davits, codes of conduct, member purges, authoritarian structures, and all the usual trappings of organization, DGR is dangerous in attempting to fill the perceived void of action in a post-9/11 world by presenting itself as the means to a common end. In doing so, they’re doing the paperwork, filing, and organizing that any well balanced security culture sought to eradicate. That is why is can’t be ignored. For the most part, DGR is a public joke. You have rigid authoritative figures posing as revolutionaries while they per- sonally call on the cops and FBI for protection, namely against anti-civilization anarchists.
