El Ray on the integration of thought and action
Comrade Wally Conger has posted an outstanding short essay by a nearly forgotten libertarian movement activist, El Ray, from back in the 70’s — On Strategy of Cultural Change. As Wally notes:
“It’s a fantastic repudiation of the ‘retreatist’ charge made against anti-politics and, in turn, agorism.”
Also interesting is the degree of similarity to elements of what’s called the “post-leftist” trend in anarchism, particularly Crimethinc. My own view of what’s called post-leftism per se is that it’s a snapshot of a period in time, reflecting what will be seen in retrospect historically as a period leading to a re-definition of what “the left” even is.
As the right solidifies into a uniformly fascistic movement, the social democrats falsely called “liberals” and the Marxists will fade away to be replaced by de-centralization oriented progressive libertarians and greens in the realm of electoral politics, while we anarchists will cement our seizure of the pinnacle of revolutionary radicalism from the state socialists. Advances in anarchist theory by the likes of Carson confirm that Liberty, alone, answers the social question. The agorists have, in the concept of the counter-economic revolution, the weapon to bring that Liberty about.
