The Need for Method
Eco-insurgents have a task to accomplish: the permanent destruction of
mass industrial civilization, and hopefully his-story itself. In
carrying out this task, our agency is presently extremely limited.
Eco-insurgents therefore have a responsibility to intervene against the
continued destruction of the wilderness, in order to defend nature, and
to work for the end of society.
As the level of popular combativity to the ecological crisis develops
across the world, the need for action and theoretical clarity is felt
more urgently than ever. It is important that new formations and
standing units show themselves capable of measuring what has been
achieved in the domain of ecological action during the last two decades,
and of learning its lessons for the future.
The grouping of eco-insurgents can no longer be left to chance. We have
to entrench ourselves in our biomes and start defending nature with
effective action now! by all means necessary.
For too long we have debated for the sake of debate, mere academic
chatter, without any concern for establishing a dynamic towards
effective action. On the other hand, we should not delude ourselves
thinking that it is possible to engage in common work on a technical
basis without first being clear on principles — principles which can
only be determined by open and lively debate — but the time for action
is now. We now have generations of experience informing us how not to
conduct our attacks.
We should be in no doubt about the eventual purpose of this aggroupment,
which is the formation of a decentralized and highly coordinated armed
fighting force, the last one, without which a successful defense of
nature against the state is an impossibility.
The work of aggroupment has several facets, related but distinct:
- the integration of individual eco-guerillas and cells into
decentralized, highly-coordinated groupings and networks, on the basis
of a common commitment to the end of Civilization;
- the groups emerging in the periphery of the most difficult conditions
of material deprivation and political isolation can only survive and
play their role in the worldwide attack on the State and Civilization if
they can break out of their isolation and become part of a wider body of
coordination;
- all eco-insurgents, and above all what we may term the old groups
(those with a direct historical role in the defense of nature in the
past), have a responsibility to show that there is a fundamental
difference between all those who stand firm in the defense of nature,
without compromise, and those who are committed to the principles of
non-violent civility, which we oppose. Eco-insurgents must clearly
delimit a holistic, naturalistic, pluralist anti-political milieu.
No compromise! ★
