Title: Heretics Author: Gabriel Pombo Da Silva Date: June 5, 2019 Language: en Topics: individualist, individualist anarchy, anarchists, anarchy, anti-civ, nihilism, anarcho-nihilism Source: https://attaque.noblogs.org/post/2019/06/08/les-heretiques/#more-26699
The heretic, like the bandit, knows that the loss of his freedom leads
him irreparably to the scaffold. What awaits him is a court that will
ask him for his actions. A court that will exercise its power and
absolute reason in the name of God, the People, the Kingdom or the
State. Power and Reason are acts of authoritarian syncretism developed
over the centuries by the owners of the Earth, the Sea, and the Sky.
Thus, the individualistic anarchist - who is heretic and bandit at a
time - is aware that his conviction of own power and his own reasons
leads him to the stake. Like a moth, he / she looks for light and
succumbs. Like Icarus, she/he flies upwards and the Sun melts its wings.
Like Prometheus, he/she steals the fire of the gods for oneself and
others; like him,
The drama of the Anarchist is his passion for freedom, his tireless
search for accomplices, which he/she seldom finds. She/he despises the
conformism of the flock, the cowardice of the crowd, the dogmatism of
all faith.
Every priest - of every "ism" - hates her, because she can not be
controlled, she/he does not obey her, he/she does not listen to him; and
when he/she can, she/he raises the voice to attack the least form of
power and authority. Sometimes, these solitary avengers throw the bomb
or sink the dagger with the intention - always - to sow chaos in the
order of reason, rigorously established as law or supreme truth. At
other times, they mix with the discontented with the intention of
triggering insurrections. But most of their time they use it to read,
because their best friend and hobby is the knowledge of what was and
what is. They have no illusions or hopes, but convictions. They know
that knowledge is their strength and that it gives them
self-determination. They live every day as if it were the last. In a
slave society, Liberty is punishable by death. They/they do not resign
themselves, they/they do not lament, they/they blaspheme, attack,
expropriate. There are not many, but even these few can worry all
governments, precisely because they are ungovernable; in love with the
total freedom. No matter what it was. They reinvent themselves at every
step, every shot, every kiss. They are not strategists because they have
no end goal and, therefore, their actions raise the wrath of others.
They have no more "partisans" than those who know and love them, apart
from their iconoclastic barbarians. Often, they are caricature in the
newspapers, since it is thought to be able to prevent people from
asking: Who are these mad/crazy? What do they want? How to explain who
the anarchists are to citizens who delegate their life and their thought
to others?
Yes, they are mad/crazy and they want nothing less than anything. All
that has been taken from them and nobody can give them back. Here they
are! They have no "arguments", fire and powder speak for them. A kilo of
dynamite and a poem. A kilo of black powder and a new heresy. A "hands
up" and they leave. Machines that destroy their Banks, Courts,
Commissariats; Barracks, Churches and Political Seating ... "What do
they want these mad/mad?" Nothing! The destructive nothing that gives
way to wild nature. The flowers make their way under the ruins of their
putrid "civilization".
