The Enragés

For the fifth installment of The Enragés, host Joel Williamson met with the Spooky to discuss two of their articles that are a part of an ongoing series. The first is titled Vulgar Anarcho- Communism: Pacifyint Anti- Statism (https://c4ss.org/content/53016) and the second, Vulgar Anarcho- Communism: What Left Unity Conceals (https://c4ss.org/content/54478).

Spooky is a queer anarchist without adjectives, an egoist, former ancom, and former right-libertarian who now spends their time battling phantasms and vulgar libertarians on the left and right. Spooky's interests include the intersections of queer theory and individualist philosophy, how anthropology and psychology can improve our understanding of economics, and the effect of language in radical spaces.

For the fourth installment of The Enragés, host Joel Williamson met with the Tech Learning Collective to talk about their article titled, Imagining an Optimistic Cyber-Future, which is a creative exploration of radical strategies for a liberatory techno future. They also explore the impetus behind Tech Learning Collective and even offer some practical advice for those interested in carving paths toward a free digital world.

For the third installment of The Enragés, host Joel Williamson interviews Railing, an Anarchist Without Adjectives interested in economics and markets.

This episode explores their article, “Scarcity and Abundance Under Anarchism'' which was originally published at the Center for a Stateless Society on May 24th, 2020. The piece is an exploration of how anarchic, post-capitalist organizing might affect production and consumption trends, without making any explicit prescriptions on the content of anarchy.

In the second episode of The Enragés, host Joel Williamson discusses with Eric Fleischmann their recent piece for C4SS “The End Is the Beginning: Abolition as Communicative Creation” (Renamed “The End is the Beginning: Anarchist Abolitionism as Communicative Creation"). The conversation spans from the juxtaposition of violence and communication to the influence of violent institutions upon people to the importance of the dialectical method to the existing and potential alternatives to statism and capitalism and more.

Eric Fleischmann (he/they) is an anarchist indebted to communistic and continental thought but engaged primarily in the traditions of mutualism, North American individualist anarchism, and modern left-libertarianism while applying a background in anthropology and philosophy to help build the solidarity economy in unceded Wabanaki territory on Turtle Island. He has been involved in various capacities with numerous leftist, left-leaning, and labor-oriented organizations—generally ones that promote forms of politico-economic decentralization and democratization and/or degrees of left unity.

Correction: Keith Preston did not used to write for C4SS. Previously, C4SS was, at times, loosely associated with Preston and Attack the System. This is no longer the case.

In this first episode of The Enragés, host Joel Williamson sits down with Kevin Carson to discuss Kevin’s recent piece on the Center for a Stateless Society website “The Myth of the Private Sector, Part I: Why Big-Small and Vertical-Horizontal Trumps ‘Public-Private’”—a conversion that spans from the role of government interference in the scale and structure of economic institutions to the definitions of “large” and “small” to possible right-libertarian objections to Kevin’s argument and beyond.

Kevin Carson is a senior fellow of the Center for a Stateless Society (c4ss.org) and holds the Center's Karl Hess Chair in Social Theory. He is an anarchist without adjectives, heavily influenced by autonomism and the new municipalist movements. His written work includes Studies in Mutualist Political Economy, Organization Theory: A Libertarian Perspective, The Homebrew Industrial Revolution: A Low-Overhead Manifesto, and The Desktop Regulatory State all of which are freely available online. His book Exodus: General Idea of the Revolution in the XXI Century is forthcoming. Carson has also written for such print publications as The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty and a variety of internet-based journals and blogs, including Just Things and The Art of the Possible, as well as his own blogs, Mutualist Blog and Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
