Title: The Anarcho Hacker Manifesto (2018) v.2 Author: Anon Anarchist Action Date: 2018 Language: en Topics: Hacking, Anarchism, social justice, revolution, surveillance, Digital revolt, Digital revolutionaries
We are hackers, we are anarchists, we are curious.
[]
We like to know how things work. We like to invent, modify and improve
technologies like any other hacker. We do it without the aim of money.
As hackers we do it for knowledge and to satisfy our curiosity, and we
decided to use it in a way to build a better world. Most of us also were
rebels in school, and probably got in trouble a few times. We grew up
and saw the system as the enemy. We were welcomed into regular hacker
groups but we thought they had a limited political education and were
still parroting the system's propaganda. The rest of the hackers we knew
thought we were crazy joining street protests and reading Bakunin, de
Cleyre, Marsh and other political theorists.
While we were in the Seattle, Genoa, Berlin, Athens, and Toronto revolts
already learning who is the real enemy of liberty & freedom, we noticed
it is not just the government, but capitalism, church, race, gender,
nationalism, imperialism, patriarchy, etc that are our enemies. With
time we became the first hacktivists and formed hacker collectives of
anarchist values like consensus making, direct democracy, horizontal
organization, mass collaboration, stigmatic or federated and or
decentralized decision making models. We wrote security tools, guides,
data storms with the aim of helping dissenters all over the world and
those trapped within the same State borders and structures. We thought
that it was not enough so we created online fronts of hacktivists, some
of which are still growing today, and participated in their actions. We
also found a lack of political experience with the new comers so we
decided to put some aim in education and work on a critical mindset.
We are tired of being victims without a fight, we are tired of having
skills without putting them to good use, and for us good use is not to
work for you and your dogs. Now that we have evolved we are the
insurgency. You are afraid of us. You use your state and corporate media
to invent more propaganda to terrorize our comrades all over the world,
lying about freedom fighters, making us look like the enemy, impotent,
or lost but this time it¢s different. This time we are legion. Our
barricades are not just in electronic form, and be assured that we have
more skills than any of your "for-profit" dogs you may have persuaded to
work for you. Even now some of us work for you and then against you.
We do not send information to your media dogs about our actions, we keep
them to ourselves, you know who we are, you know we are less than
willing to rule by celebrity and this is what scares you. We are serious
in taking your system down brick by brick and byte by byte from the
inside and the outside and we have succeeded so far. All your bases are
belong to us. And to all of those begging for liberation, liberate
yourselves. A dog that begs will never be free of its master.
Information must be free and those who own the information and control
the access to it have the power and so we must decentralize that power
and free the data!
We envision all digital forms of resistance, and use them to show the
world that we can win many battles and more, for this we decided not to
divide our self from our anarchist comrades but join everyone, we do not
conform on just one front, and encourage all fronts. We take people to
the streets and bring to the electronic world activists that could not
have done so before increasing our numbers! Diversity of Tactics and
Diversity of fronts!
We believe every individual who, in the current state of affairs,
preaches on the ballot box to choose an authority is wasting time &
inflating a horrible capitalist system, we'd rather contribute towards a
new world with a spirit based on anarchist values & mass collaboration.
For this most of us believe in a diversity of strategies and autonomy,
not just working in the shadows of the internet darknets but also in the
streets and communities with other insurgents of all sorts.
Our insurgency uses a diverse array of actions depending on what each of
us decide is necessary and are capable of at that moment and time, all
working on what we do best.
We are idealists,
We write,
We love,
We build,
We create,
We destroy,
We emancipate,
We share and
We fight oppression in any form. And of course, we hack.
