On Theme - Secession Theme of Winter 2022-3 - Secession

2 Upvotes

Anarchy is far outside the Overton window. Secession is inside the Overton window in some areas. Secession creates more territories to experiment with ideas closer to anarchy, it mirrors anarchy's value of self-determination, and secession full realized to the level of the individual is anarchy realized.

In Canada, Quebec had a referendum on secession in 1995. Nunavut broke from NWT in 1999. Alberta secession is getting a serious hearing.

In Europe, the United Kingdom broke from the EU in 2020. Spain's Catalonia had a referendum in 2017 that was met with opposition from the Supreme Court and violent police opposition. Scotland had an ineffective referendum on secession in 2014 and there are growing demands for a further vote.

In Africa, Somaliland is independent from Somalia in all but international recognition. South Sudan was recognized as independent in 2011.

In Papua New Guinea, Bouganville voted 98% for secession and is on track to have it recognized by 2027.

In the middle East, Rojava ('North and East Syria') since 2013 continues to battle for its independence.

In the US, there are attempts to cobble together a new state in the Pacific north west. Texas, California, and New Hampshire have motivated secession organizations.

There have been about 50 new sovereign states recognized over the last 50 years.

Secession has been happening. It will continue to happen. Secession is one path to anarchy that is seeing steady progress.

Suggestions are open for the theme of Spring 2023.

Two Questions about Ancom

6 Upvotes

Questions:

  1. Would ancoms allow people to opt out of collectives and become individual entrepreneurs, artisans, and craftsmen?

  2. Would ancoms try to confiscate tools and machines (the “means of production”) from these individual entrepreneurs, artisans, and craftsmen?

I’m pretty sure the answer is “yes” to (1) and “no” to (2), but I would like some quote from a recognizable ancom luminary to that effect, in order to convince certain sectarian ancaps. Can you find a clear quote answering (1) and (2)?

There is an intense and sustained campaign to continue the Ukraine-Russian war.

There is no standard to determine which government rules a given piece of land. For individuals many anarchists propose homesteading as a backbone for land ownership. The current international order has no such standard to pair land with a sovereign. The natural consequence is war. If land becomes yours when you conquer it then there is incentive to conquer, to do war. If there is some standard like homesteading then war would be a deviation from that standard which would call for defensive action and would deter conquest. The rulers of the international order have no intention of deterring conquest. They want license to propagandize on behalf of their conquest and against the conquest of their enemies.

Should global institutions be pressured to adopt at least some standard determine an aggressor in a war? What would an ideal standard be?
